Fantastic lyrics? Like the ones about which BF she broke up with that week?
Yeah man, before I met my wife I was sleeping with multiple women in a week, hell, even a 24 hour period. Ironically I wasn't doing it to be cool, I was doing it because I was looking for validation from the wrong places and for the wrong reasons. Aint nobody perfect or else we wouldn't be on this rock in the first place. She pours herself into her music- good, bad, pain, pleasure- I can respect that.

There are worse ways to find “validation!”

lol I loved this. My wife and I had a good chuckle about it. I can get down with some Taylor Swift though- she's got some fantastic lyrics.

As the dad of daughters I fully admit I have a couple hours worth of Taylor’s music downloaded.

I even like a lot of it. Shit’s catchy as hell.

Atlanta and it's not close. That RB room is fuckin loaded.
Tough call. Both groups have rookie running backs so there’s not much to elaborate on that quite yet. Both groups have backs with a lot of potential. Both groups have backs who could be overrated.

I wonder if he's snapping spirals.
I imagine he is sticking with the dead ball snap. Schmitz the guy that many on here wanted from MIN is using it in NYG.

Fans who remember Whitehair’s stint at center in the earlier stages of his career will recall his unorthodox snap in the shotgun. Instead of gripping the ball the more traditional wayー by grabbing the middle of the ballー Whitehair holds onto the back end of the football, puts the front of the ball on the ground, then flips the ball back to the quarterback. That snap is back.



“It kind of came about when I had a little bit of an issue there as far as snapping the ball high,” Whitehair said. “Harry Hiestand, when he was our line coach, kind of introduced me to this way of snapping and it's really worked for me. I had a lot more success with it, so it just kind of stuck.”


Hiestand joined the Bears in 2018, the same year was recognized with Pro Bowl honors at center.



Whitehair’s comfort is only one part of the equation, though. Fields has to feel good receiving the ball with Whitehair’s snap.


“We've had some dialogue with that and he seems to enjoy it at this point,” Whitehair said.


Whitehair believes Fields’ center at Ohio State, Josh Myers, used the same snap, and a brief tape audit shows he did hike the ball the same way in certain scenarios, so it’s not totally new to Fields. Whitehair believes other factors make his snap easier on quarterbacks, too.


“It’s a little bit slower snap, so as a quarterback, they kind of like that. It allows them to get the laces and throw a little bit faster.”


The Bears won’t put on the pads until training camp in late July or early August, so it will be some time before we get a real look at how the new offensive line performs. From what we can see, Whitehair and Fields appear to be settling in nicely together.


The Bears return to Halas Hall for their last four days of OTAs on Monday. Then mandatory minicamp begins on June 13.

He'd probably rather talk about signing Saquan Barkley or trading for Chase Young or Jerry Jeudy or the other 50 players that we talked about signing or trading for on here that were also never going to happen.

If there was actual news I'd stop it, but literally the news story of the day is Whitehair's fucking snap technique.

He's bringing back the dead snap that he learned from Harry Heistand so all is well with Whitehair......:homerbush:
