Never heard of these cleats so I googled it.
“Caddix cleats are specialized athletic footwear designed with patented SmartStuds™ technology to reduce non-contact knee and ankle injuries—such as ACL tears—by minimizing excessive rotational torque on turf and grass fields”
They are kinda ugly but sounds like a great concept if they work.
The CEO said he would pay his fine.
NFL do better.

Bears defense vs. dropbacks since 2024 (per @NextGenStats):
Kyler Gordon ON the field:
41.5% SR allowed (would rank 10th in 2026)
Kyler Gordon OFF the field:
48.2% SR allowed (would rank 27th in 2026)

The #Bears did not punt today.
First time that has happened since Sept. 28, 2014 game vs. Green Bay.
It's the fourth time in the Super Bowl era that Chicago has gone through a game without punting.

of course you want to see completion % go up, but their passing game is aggressive and attacks down the field to create explosive plays. It's like a 3 point shooting basketball team and should (hopefully) improve with their young skill players building comfort together.
I wrote about it last year during the season. sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article…

The House will vote on an amendment to cut off aid to Israel.
It is unconscionable we continue to fund this genocidal apartheid regime.
Voting YES.

This stat is why I love Ben Johnson’s mindset as a play-caller.
Among 68 play callers with 70+ games since 1999, Johnson ranks No. 1 in pass rate on:
▪️ 2nd & 1
▪️ 2nd & 1-2
▪️ 2nd & 1-3
That is not being reckless. That is understanding leverage.
2nd and short is a coupon. It is a free swing. The defense has to respect the run, the sneak, play action, the quick game, and if they get nosy, you throw it over their head.
Most coaches treat 2nd and short like a layup.
Ben Johnson treats it like a green light from half court.
That is how you steal explosives. That is how you make safeties hesitate. That is how you turn tight ends into weapons. And that is how you keep a defense guessing for four quarters. #DaBears #Bears #ChicagoBears

No NFL play caller this century has treated 2nd & short like a free shot more aggressively than Ben Johnson.
Among 68 play callers with 70+ games since 1999, Johnson ranks:
1st in 2nd & 1 pass rate: 48.2%
1st in 2nd & 1-2 pass rate: 47.7%
1st in 2nd & 1-3 pass rate: 47.5%
No current projected 2026 play caller is even within 17 percentage points of him on 2nd & 1.
Clip below: Chicago using 2nd & 1 exactly the way Johnson wants to.

Rome Odunze 2025 #ReceptionPerception Profile 🔥
Some highlights:
- 76.1% success rate vs. man coverage
- 78% success rate vs. zone
- 80.6% success rate vs. press (93rd percentile)
Already a very talented player, Odunze can easily resume the breakout pace he showed early last season if healthy, and even take another step if he cleans up a few areas of his game. Notes in his RP data on why his role in Ben Johnson's offense is different from what you think, splits before/after the injury, and much more.

“I had one objective in this draft…and it was to walk out with Caleb Williams.”
On the pod, @benjaminsolak and I discussed the Bears QB’s growth and why he took him 8th (!!) overall.

Realizing I watched Caleb go from an extremely overhated rookie with awful coaching, to must-watch TV in Year 3. Time flies man.

This clip just made me miss football so much
"I'm always watching."
Ben Johnson was really this locked in all season long 😂 @ChicagoBears

Spent the evening watching some Colston Loveland film.
After seeing everything I saw on film, his production doesn't even tell the story of the impact he had on the #Bears offense.
Ben Johnson gave him a lot to handle, more than most rookie tight ends over the last few years.
He's got a bright future ahead of him.
