Why are run blockers practicing catching a football?

What? A 3 tech is not schemed to take on a double team. The whole purpose, is to isolate the guard, so that the center is NOT in position to help block on the 3 tech. They are called a 3 tech, because they line up in the 3 gap. It is the 2 tech that is designed, or expected to take the double. The 1 gap is left open.
If the tackle helps to double a 3 tech, it either leaves the end unblocked, or in a favorable mismatch, with a TE.

He has already proven to be an NFL #2 level WR, at the very least, not sure what you mean by "if he doesn't work out." Only way he doesn't "work out" is by massive injury or massive failure by the coaching staff and that is true of every single player. He is going to be motivated to ball out as he nears the extension phase of his rookie contract, so he is about the safest use of a second round pick at WR that the Bears could have.
Another thing to consider is rookie WR's, esp non top #15 OA, take a year or longer to usually produce, the class this year is proving that, so getting a plug and play bonafide NFL #2 WR with still 1.5 yrs on a rookie contract is a feather in Poles cap.

- Jewels to get a case of Squirt
A 3T is almost always combo blocked on running play to his side, unless it's a trap or a pitch where he is potentially downblocked.
I think the idea is that a good 3T can command more attention from the OT, making it harder for him to get off the combo and to the LB, or if the OT leaves too early he's got leverage on the G to make the play.

What is more telling, the fans perspective or the teams? In this case I would say it is Mike Tomlin's take when he said that the reason for the trade was that the WR room was the deepest on the team.
This is a trade that very well could work out for both teams.

Yeah this isn't true. I am debating with Bears fans who don't think Smith's performance was all that.

You seem confused. I never said the D schemes for the 3T to be double teamed. Obviously the goal is for them not to be doubled teamed but the reality is a good 3T gets doubled teamed because the O isn't fucking stupid and just going to let the 3T be single blocked all game.
Despite Facing Many Double-Team Blocks, Donald Still Dominating
DT Aaron Donald leads the league with 10.0 sacks even though he's being double teamed 70 percent of the time.
Donald was double teamed on 70% of plays at one point. That is why a good 3T is so important. In the pass game if you double the 3T then hopefully you have a DE who can win one on one and a NT who can at least push the pocket back into the QB's face if they opt to single block him figuring he is not a good pass rusher.
In the run game if you have a NT that is stout in the run game but still have to double the 3T because he can shoot his gap and get in the backfield then it makes running up the middle next to impossible as that is 4 blockers you have to commit to the DTs. Hence why the outside zone is so popular as you can leave guys unblocked on the backside and concentrate blockers to one side.

Because they just paid DJ and Pickens is cheaper. No team is paying 3 WRs big money so one of them had to go and Claypool made the most sense for the above reasons.

Don’t cry dude. The numbers don’t lie. Claypool is better right now because of age but Anderson was better at the same age. And I already said I’m fine with the trade now so what’s your beef? You’re the guy that gave me a 1 day ban too right, first one after 10 years? I found the guy who was bullied in high school ?

Why are you comparing guys that aren't similar in anyway? How would a guy that's not a mod ban you?

The more you talk, the stupider you get. Not sure how you can get stupider with this post, but you’ll find a way.

Robbie Anderson first 2 years in NFL - 1528 receiving yards, 9 receiving TDs and 51 yards rushing.
Chase Claypool first 2 years in the NFL - 1733 receiving yards, 11 receiving TDs, 112 yards rushing and 2 rushing TDs.
Claypool was better.

Can people name the better 2nd round WRs in the league right now? Brown on Eagles for sure and maybe Sutton on Broncos?
Can our CBMB scouts please name all these studs that were drafted in 2nd round, that are putting up better production? Also, all these 2nd round prospects in college that will be available in 2023? I'll wait.
