So much for having the fewest sacks allowed since their Super Bowl season of 2006. Since Chase Daniel was inserted into the starting lineup for the Chicago Bears these last two games Blue Cody Parkey Jersey , he has been sacked nine times. It’s not all on him, although the athletic Mitchell Trubisky does give the pass protection a boost when he’s in the game. Daniel's sack percentage is almost double Trubisky’s (10.6% to 5.6%), but when looking at Daniel I think it’s fair to point out that even though he’s a nine year veteran, he’s technically inexperienced with his pocket presence at just four career starts. All things considered though, Daniel is a good number two quarterback. Let’s see where 2018 stacks up historically...Sackwatch after 12 games2010 - 45 Martz2011 - 34 Martz2012 - 36 Tice2013 - 21 Trestman2014 - 30 Trestman2015 - 20 Gase2016 - 23 - Loggains2017 - 29 - Loggains2018 - 28 NagySack 24 - Second Quarter 1:39 - B.J. HillWe’re the Bears trying to set up a middle screen? The player that gets the sack, defensive tackle B.J. Hill (#95), receives a token block from left guard James Daniels and then he’s in hot pursuit of the QB. Hill splits the B-Gap with ease, and Daniels heads up field so quickly, that I’m assuming the intended receiver was running back Tarik Cohen who snuck through the line. Center Cody Whitehair also blocked for a split second before peeling off to block for a screen. It looked to me like a fake bubble screen to the left, with a middle screen back to Cohen, but it didn’t fool the Giants. I can’t fault Daniels, as he was doing his job. I can’t fault Daniel either, because Hill was on him so quickly and there wasn’t a clean throwing lane. This good play by the Giants leads me to give this to Sacks Happen. Sack 25 - Third Quarter 1:22 - B.J. HillHill gets his second sack in a row, and this time he split right guard Bryan Witzmann and center Whitehair. Hill got Witzmann with the stutter-step juke to the outside before shooting back through the A-Gap. Witzmann failed to move his feet after falling for the fake and Whitehair was more concerned with his other A-Gap. Whitehair tried to stay strong and protect both gaps, but by doing so he wasn’t strong enough to help to his right.I’m splitting the sack allowed between Whitehair and Witzmann.Sack 26 - Fourth Quarter 15:00 - Olivier VernonThis was a third and 11, so that could have gone into Daniel’s reasoning for not throwing it away once he escaped the pocket. I’d still rather he chuck it away than eat the sack and lose yardage in a close game though. The Giants overloaded the blitz on Chicago’s left side and the Bears did a good job picking it up initially. Check out Jordan Howard’s blitz pickup coming from the right side back to the left.Even right tackle Bobby Massie stayed home after pinching to his left and he cleaned up a Giant scraping towards him. But Daniel breaking out of the pocket led to the defenders getting better angles to pursue Blue Khalil Mack Jersey , which is why Massie had a hard time staying with his block. Daniel didn’t have anywhere to go with the ball, and he was forced to scramble. It did look like he was about to uncork a pass to Allen Robinson II after stepping up in the pocket, but Robinson stumbled a bit out of his break and Daniel pulled it back. Hindsight tells us he probably could have thrown it as Robinson maintained his route. But as for the sack, Giant linebacker Olivier Vernon (#54) started out over Leno (LT), but ended up working all the way down the line until he ended up being blocked by Witzmann (RG). Vernon hustled his way into the sack, but Witzmann was leaning on him a bit too much which caused him to get off balance. With that being said, the pass pro held for 3 seconds and Daniel had no where to throw. I hate to give another to Sacks Happpen, but that’s what I’m doing. Sack 27 - Fourth Quarter 1:07 - B.J. HillAnother of the dreaded 0 yard sacks. I loathe them. The Giants had some good coverage on this play, so Daniel tried to escape up the middle. But if you ask me, he tried to escape too early. The pass pro held up. Massie and Witzmann switched on the stunt happening in front of them, as did Leno and Daniels on the left side. The Giants ran a double EX stunt, which means that the defensive end goes inside first with the defensive tackle going around him to the outside. I’ve also seem this called an E-T stunt. Daniel seemed to get spooked at the Giant falling in front of him, and he took his eyes off his receivers. Had Daniel maintained his composure he could have stayed in the pocket and scanned downfield a tick longer before escaping to his left. I’m pinning this one on Daniel. Sack 28 - Overtime 3:18 - Olivier VernonThis one is the easiest of all to diagnose. Vernon simply beats Leno around the edge and swipes the ball out of Daniel’s hand. Leno’s angle on his kick step was a little too flat and he couldn’t catch up with Vernon. Leno tried to push him past his QB, but Vernon got his hand on the ball when Daniel cocked to throw.

Two teams are on the ground floor of what will become the greatest sports league in America. Endless possibilities and a storied rivalry lie before them. One team takes as its team name and mascot the greatest animal to ever grace the earth with its presence.What does the other team do? Jeff Berckes: Oh, I love riddles! As every human learns at an early age, the greatest animal ever is the bear. It only makes sense that the first franchise would lay claim to such a majestic creature. In response Youth Trey Burton Jersey , I see only two possible outcomes. The first is to pick an apex predator in a land that the bear has deemed uninterested in or unworthy of its presence, like a lion, and rule in another land. Or, take a creature with the one ability that bears chose not to have, flight, and take to the skies so that you could safely observe the most wondrous of creatures from afar, like an eagle. So which is it? What do I win?PC: Those are terrific guesses, but you underestimate the depth of incompetence and profound shortsightedness that embodied the second team. They instead accepted a 500 dollar bribe to be named after the Indian Packing company, and have been forced to wear that foolish decision like a yellow and gold scarlet letter ever since.You answered the riddle wrong, but you still win the satisfaction of knowing the Bears rivals are an organization birthed from foolishness that has continued to live up to its name ever since. JB: Oh, wow - that was less of a riddle and more of an allegory. Short term gains may come with a lifetime of regret. Imagine having to wear green and yellow gear for the rest of your life... gross. Anyhow, that’s actually a perfect way to introduce Packers week - and what a week it is. Since the Bears last met these rivals to the north, the Bears have steadily improved under first year Head Coach Matt Nagy to a division leading 9-4 record on the cusp of the NFC North championship. The Packers, on the other hand, have fired longtime Head Coach Mike McCarthy and appear to be a franchise in tatters, but at least we know Aaron Rodgers is well insured by State Farm. Those commercials make me sad as I’m led to believe that Rodgers really only hangs out with guys that earn a commission off of him. As I was looking at the statistical year Rodgers is having http://www.authenticschicagobears.com/c ... ler-jersey , he’s leading the league in a very important category - throwaways. What can the Bears do to help Rodgers extend his lead in that category and clinch the division on Sunday?PC: It’s hard to imagine that everything that goes into a team’s NFL season--all the off-season moves, the training, the game plans, the hopes and dreams, the front office machinations, the grit and glory, sweat and heart left on the turf--could be boiled down to a single statline. Rodgers leading the league in throwaways may be as close as we’ll ever get. It should be straightforward to guarantee more throwaways. Basically, the Bears just need to make sure when Rodgers looks out over the field, all he sees is trash. Given the current state of the Packers offense, covering Davante Adams may be the only step needed to make that happen. I’m starting to worry that I’m getting too confident about this game. Maybe it’s just because of how confident I was at halftime last time the Bears faced the Packers. Is there any legitimate reason to worry, or can I pre-order my celebration champagne to get a discount? JB: I’ve already got mine on ice. I don’t see a plausible scenario where the Bears lay an egg here. I know the national media loves Rodgers and the “owners” that wear foam cheese hats but it’s time to end this ridiculousness. The Bears defense made a statement on Sunday against Goff & Gurley, they’ll be ready for Rodgers & Adams. There’s also that little nugget about the Packers being winless on the road and the Bears protecting Soldier Field to a 6-1 record. Did we mention this is a cap and t-shirt game too? There’s plenty of motivation here and I don’t see Matt Nagy letting his team lose focus. Speaking of Nagy, I have to imagine you’ve watched the 10 linemen TD from Sunday 100+ times by now. Did you hear Nagy called it “Santa’s Sleigh”? The week before it was “Oompa Loompa”. What’s the gadget play you want to draw up for Sunday and what are you calling it?PC: Let’s just say that I have watched the Freezer play a few more times than Santa’s Sleigh. This is entirely due to my relative love for Akiem Hicks and Bradley Sowell.I appreciate the seasonal flavor behind Santa’s Sleigh, and I’m tempted to run with the theme with a name which points out that any play run against the Packers will look like someone crashing an ugly sweater party, but I think I’ll stick with a variation on my fan fiction trick play in Hungry Bear Picnic, Kodiak left.In this play Youth Aaron Lynch Jersey , 9 lineman join Biscuit and Jo Ho with Eddie Goldman and Bradly Sowell as eligible receivers on the same side. Fake handoff to Jo Ho, play action with Sowell running his Santa Sleigh route, then a quick forward shovel to Goldman, who falls backwards into the end zone, knocking over Clay Matthews and causing a domino collapse among Packer defenders.Any way the Bears win this game will be beautiful, knowing the Bears clinched the division in the same moment they mathematically eliminated the Pack from the playoffs, but is there something in particular you want to see to be the icing on the cake? JB: There’s a great Simpsons episode where Lisa shows Ralph a kindness on Valentine’s Day by making sure he’s included. Ralph mistakes that kindness for romantic interest and thinks they’re dating. Lisa bottles up her rage until it explodes in a live spot on the Krusty show where she absolutely eviscerates young Ralph in front of a live studio audience. Bart, replaying the scene frame by frame says “You can actually pinpoint the second when his heart rips in half.” I want that moment for Aaron Rodgers, I want to capture it in GIF form, and I want to play it on an endless loop. To be clear, I’m not looking for angry Rodgers or frustrated Rodgers – we have those clips. I want the moment all hope is lost and the reality of his situation for this lost season becomes clear. Maybe it’s a Mack strip sack or maybe Kyle Fuller gets his revenge, but in my mind, it’s during a celebration after a defensive TD and Rodgers is looking on with despair at the new Monsters of the Midway. PC: Hopefully someone tells Rodgers to call his State Farm friends and order up some heartbreak insurance. I’d almost feel sorry for him if he didn’t sacrifice his knee and season to hobble back on the field and torment the Bears week one. Sometimes karma is subtle. Sometimes it smacks you in the smug little face.If you want to extend the blither-blather, add yours to the comments below or find us on Twitter @gridironborn and @opinionbear
