I think he was still traits-y more than he was scheming.
This is a wild thing to say in year five.
Matt Eberflus, though, did talk about wanting a three technique.
The idea that you were still going to draft people to fit a scheme wasn't typical or wasn't unique to just this one situation.
This was something the previous head coach wanted.
I'm not saying he wronged Matt Eberflus, but
You can't change people as much as he thought you could.
And to say that you realize that in a season in September, that's a bit of a cell phone here.
And I'm not trying to necessarily dunk on the guy because I, I do think he's, he deserves his knowledge, but I,
Fair share of accountability in this?
I'm just like, oh, now you're willing to say it.
Like, now you're willing to say...
say the thing that that we all kind of suspected which is like i'm thank god but like how do you not talk to somebody and say how do you plan on using this individual if we get him you're like what do you like about these players and unfortunately i'm not trying to to diss on him because i think he's still good but jervon dexter is a good example of this
yeah i agree you drafted a guy you thought you could change him and what's worse is how many times as reporters marshall herb mark did we hear the bears say how smart their process was how smart their system was how they were doing things correctly that was very much a front office down thing and then no no what you just said illustrates it no no it was exactly what we all thought it was so why were y'all so high on it if you knew that this is what it was
We were all trying to overcome the coaching staff.
It also just speaks to why five-star recruits from high school were also such a big part of this.
Like how many times could we go back to the high school tape on a lot of the Bears players and say, oh, well, you were a five-star recruit in high school and covering college extensively.
I always thought that that was inaccurate because you can't, unless you're watching so many games, you can't really judge that.
Some of it you base on which school wants you.
So even that's flawed.
