Idk, the Bears need to find some real talent, not guys getting cut that are just a bit better than the junk they already have. IMO

What's wrong with getting incrementally better for almost free mid season?

If you watch his film you can see he gets to high off the ball which lets the OL control him easily, if he doesn't get immediate penetration he is basically useless. He doesn't have the technique or strength to play DT at this level. Been an Irish fan all my life.

His 2018 season was a thing of beauty

Notre Dame 99-to-2: No. 99 Jerry Tillery, defensive tackle - Inside the Irish | NBC Sports

“In a lot of ways, the three-technique position is where you want to have your most disruptive and athletic [player],” defensive coordinator Clark Lea said April 17. “[Tillery is] a guy that in pass-rush can have an impact from that spot, not always drawing the double team [that the nose does].

maybe he playing the wrong position?

maybe he needs better coaches teaching him fundamentals (eberflus preaches that weekly). btw has anyone noticed how much improved Eddie Jackson tackles in the open field??? That's due to coaching #woah

It’s cap neutral to bring him in if he signs for his minimum, right?

 

[ThatGuyRyan]

I don’t know how much upside he provides but one of our biggest problems is pressure inside. , he could help there at the expense of a rotation of guys who don’t do shit outside of the occasional Jones play, surely couldn’t hurt to claim him.

I believe we pick up his contract if he is claimed off waivers. His base salary this season is $2m

Maybe he can prove worthy as part of the rotation he doesn’t necessarily have to be the Buckner. Maybe he can give us tank Johnson or Henry melton level play

Got it, I know nothing about the player wonder if he would clear waivers.

 

[BradyJay]

Didn't they already take 1 DT the chargers didn't want?

Good point. Either chargers know exactly what they’re doing or it’s just not right system for them or we so thirsty we need to try anything

 

[ZenBear34]

Why not. He might be a better fit in this defense, has some pass rush ability, and the Bears have an obvious lack of talent on the d-line.

The team that claims he will have to pay the remainder of his contract. His salary is slightly over $2M, so the claiming team will be on the hook for a little under $1m. He wasn't a fit with the chargers because they play a two-gap system; I think he is at his best in a single-gap as a three-tech. He may be worth a shot to see if he can generate some much needed inside pressure

I could see your point if it were just raising the floor, but he might just be the second-best defensive lineman if he were brought in.

Now if the Bears improve the defensive line in 2023, he would then be the basement level player if he is still around, which would still be an improvement over the floor that the Bears currently have.

Worth a look, in my opinion.

I really haven’t been paying attention to our DL. I’ve been under the assumption they’re playing a 2 high shell with variations of gap responsibility on the DL, kind of like shifting some DL to a 2 or 1 gap depending on the O.

If we are playing a more consistent 1 gap shoot to penetrate and read what you see type of a system, I’m liking what I’m hearing about him hitting a B gap and just shooting.

They need to seriously take a look at this guy, next week.
