The Sun-Times’ Patrick Finley breaks down the Bears’ Monday apply, the 10th of 2019 coaching camp:
No kicking, no starters
There was no motion within the Bears’ kicker derby Tuesday — as a result of neither Elliott Fry nor Eddy Pineiro kicked in apply.
Coach Matt Nagy known as it “kinda a game-week thing” in preparation for Thursday’s preseason opener. Both kicked Monday.
“The guys in general have dead legs,” Nagy stated “Their legs right now, they’ve kicked a lot so let’s get them ready for that preseason game.”
Both will kick Thursday, however the Bears haven’t stated who will begin.
“But we’re just going to score all touchdowns,” Nagy stated, laughing.
The Gov.
Gov. J.B. Pritzker walked onto the Olivet Nazarene University campus towards the tip of apply, mingled with followers beneath a VIP awning, and spoke to members of the workforce afterward.
“He told me he expects 16-0 and a Super Bowl,” Nagy stated. “I said, ‘That’s some pretty lofty expectations.’”
This and that
Quarterback Mitch Trubisky was sharper than in latest days, and possibly one of the best he’s been since camp started. … Tight finish Trey Burton missed his fourth-straight apply as he recovers from offseason groin surgical procedure. … Cornerback Prince Amukamara posted two interceptions. The most spectacular of the 2: catching a move meant for Adam Shaheen that linebacker Roquan Smith tipped within the air. Nose deal with Eddie Goldman scored after they lateraled the ball to him on the return …. Cornerback Duke Shelley made a formidable interception down the left sideline.
Up subsequent: The Bears have Wednesday off earlier than internet hosting the Panthers on Thursday evening at Soldier Field.
