I'll make an avatar bet with you that Burton is the #1 starting TE on the roster this season.

This is who i was thinking about not making the 53 man cut this year. Now that RRH has been much better and add Nichols as well it might make Bullard expendable.

Who are they cutting him for? He's still on his rookie contract btw...

Replace Nall with Whyte.
Bars goes to IR because i'm pretty sure he's not expected to be healthy for a while and that gives Heistand a year with him and for him to get 100%
Add Coward to OL
Cut Bullard
Sign a free agent OLB. S.Ray, C.Barwin, N.Perry, Dion Jordan on a cheap one year deal.

A OLB from free agency. I just mentioned some names i'd much rather have at OLB over Bullard a post up.

Current projected Defensive Line Depth chart
Left Defensive End: Akiem Hicks | Nick Williams | Roy Robertson-Harris
Nose Tackle: Eddie Goldman | Abdullah Anderson
Right Defensive End: Bilal Nichols | Jonathan Bullard | Roy Robertson-Harris
I'm not seeing how Bullard is exactly expendable and replaceable with a FA OLB @dabears70
Were you thinking that Bullard played OLB?
I know he's not impressed as much as anticipated for a 3rd round pick (I guess) and he's had some people out play him but I'm not sure moving him to OLB and then cutting him is the answer, or an answer at all...
Can you please explain your thought process on this?

We keep 6 DL Take your pick from Anderson, Bullard and Williams, 1 will get cut. Williams is getting old is why I picked Bullard. We hopefully sign someone ( a DL ) as Bullard hasn't been kinda meh. We could still sign a free agent OLB. S.Ray, N.Perry, and be better off than Fitts, Betts

These seem like reasons why you WOULDN'T pick Bullard to be cut, no? Not old: check. Hasn't been "meh": check.

At Valdosta State? A corner at Valdosta state bro where they have no real athletes....corner is the most important position for a defense without high talent up front, so they put him at corner and let him run with big WR's.
I really don't think his position at Valdosta State or wherever the fuck he came from pertains to the bears.
As we discussed some of the minor differences between Pagano and Fangio...other than Fangio being a renowned playcaller...Pagano likes to blitz more..and play big nickel.
Drafting a hyper athletic CB/S tweener to compliment his pair of traditional nickels (Skrine/Shelley)...to me was an indication he will be experimenting with
HaHa/Bush or HC/Jackson on the field at the same time.
I believe its these modern teams like the Patriots especially in the AFC...Chargers....Steelers also...who will pass on third and short. When you suspect Pass on third and short you want to play nickel...but Big Nickel compensates for the loss of a linebacker. Denmark will be pushed up close to the line of scrimmage where he can blitz or cover as a hybrid safety. imo

Hey, you're preaching to the choir, you know I've always been a Big Nickelbro going way back to the old school.

He's still the #3 ILB. And there are only 4 ILBs on the roster right now. Plus he's a core special teamer. Don't think there's any way he's on the bubble.

your at 53 without a LS
i like bars but he most likely gets put on IR and basically focuses on strength and wt training
denmark is too raw to make the 53 man roster, shelley could compete with joseph and franklin III but i think joseph wins the spot and the other spot to mcmannis
the betts vs fitts show will be a fun one to watch...

Fitts had a good combine while Betts passes the eye test more for me, should be interesting. Denmark boom or bust very raw but very freaky thinking he has a higher ceiling than Joseph, again an interesting battle
