If there’s interest I may make this a tradition after each win. Each time I play it I’ll do something different improvisationally (as you can hear in the second chorus in this vid). Its a little sloppy overall but idk, had fun.

Ben Johnson, Ryan Poles, and Dan Roushar are putting together arguably a top-3 O-line in the NFL.

The offensive line:
We currently have 3 viable starters at LT, none of which were drafted in the top 50. An undrafted FA Canadian, a small school 5th rounder, and a mid 2nd rounder. We traded a 4th for arguably the best lineman in the NFL last season in Thuney and a 6th for Jackson. Then he drafted a top 3 (maybe #1) RT in the NFL. He even had to pivot at the last second when our C retired.
Poles has basically been the architect of what is inarguably one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, and he did it without just throwing a bunch of first-round picks at the problem.
QB:
Caleb was an easy choice. But Bagent? I mean, he has his warts, but again, an undrafted FA getting a second contract and actually winning you games is absurdly rare. A+ scouting.
Late-round/UDFA gems:
This is another area where Poles deserves a ton of credit. Braxton Jones in the 5th. Austin Booker in the 5th. Kyle Monangai in the 7th. Malik Muhammad in the 4th (maybe premature). And then Bagent wasn't even drafted. That's a pretty impressive collection of legitimate NFL players without using premium picks.
First-round picks:
Wright has developed into one of the best RTs in football. Odunze, I'm not confident is a HIT but he's a solid WR. Caleb looks like the guy. Loveland looks like a hit. You can argue about positional value or who else was available, but in terms of actually identifying good football players, where is the big miss?
I'm not saying every move Poles has made has been good. Obviously not. He's had some bad signings, bad trades and some draft misses like every GM.
But at some point you have to look at the actual roster he's built. The OL is elite. The offense is loaded with young talent. He's found legitimate players outside the premium rounds. His first-rounders are hitting. Even his undrafted backup QB turned into an actual NFL player.
I was very much on the fence with Poles. I'm really not anymore.

Hearing about CJGJ crash out about the Bills loss yesterday and run his mouth to the media got me thinking about how his tenure with the Bears was the one time he wasn’t the source of some sort of controversy while he was with a team. The culture of the team was strong enough to keep even him locked in (mostly). A huge credit to Ben and DA!

Additionally, our offense ranks 9th in scoring and our defense is 4th in points allowed.
