I don’t want to see Trubisky http://www.bearsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-taylor-gabriel-jersey , Robinson, Howard or Cohen play in this game Before we start a lynch mob for ye ole’ Denmaster, hear me out. I don’t want to see any of our critical starters even suit up for Thursday’s game. Why? Think back to last season, fourth quarter of the Bears preseason game against Cleveland. The Bears were down 25-0 in an absolutely meaningless game record-wise, and facing desperate players overextending to try to make a roster. Connor Shaw was playing QB, and he was banged up. Mitchell Trubisky, the much-heralded future of the franchise, was brought into this meaningless contest in one of the more idiotic decisions made by a coaching staff that made a whole lot of idiotic choices last year.First play in, some nameless soon-to-be insurance salesman comes flying in around the “theoretical” block of one of our soon-to-be pizza-delivery guy linemen, and he hits Mitch right in the knees as he’s trying to execute the idiotic pass play that was sent in from the sidelines. You know what I did when I saw that? I went bug-freaking-bonkers. My wife had to peel what was left of me off the ceiling. Too much riskI, like many people Trey Burton Jersey , think that the preseason is already two-games too long. With the Hall Of Fame game, our preseason is THREE games too long this year.Our main goal as a franchise should be to get the players we have into the NFL season healthy, and with improved depth.The best way to do this is to give our depth people more playing time while keeping our starters in street clothing for this first game (and also the last game).We’ve got a lot of roster battles to sort out. The bottom end of the WR, TE & DB charts will be decided in preseason action.I’’m not proposing we take the entire preseason schedule off, I just think we shouldn’t add more risk than necessary.Play the next four games like normal, using game 3 as a dress rehearsal.I just don’t think the risk/reward of giving our starters an extra game to get hurt in is worth it. My proposed lineup for Thursday night:QB – Chase DanielWR – Kevin White, Anthony Miller, Javon WimsTE – Adam ShaheenLT – Bradley SowellLG – James DanielsC – Jack AllenRG – Earl WatfordRT – Rashaad CowardRB – Taquan MizzellFB – Ryan NallDefenseLE - Bilal NicholsNT – John JenkinsRE – Roy Robertson-HarrisOLB – Isaiah IrvingMLB – John TimuMB – Jonathan AndersonOLB – Kylie FittsCB – Cre’von LaBlancNB – Michael JosephS – Deon BushS – Deiondre’ HallCB – John Franklin IIIOSS: Kylenan The Barbearian! Today, I bring you a very special OSS. Instead of a mere photo edit, or just another movie poster parody, we have a full blown illustration! One that took me far longer to finish than I care to admit Authentic Cody Parkey Jersey , and thanks to the inclusion of Staley, far more nightmare inducing as well... I can still feel his malevolent eyes staring daggers into my soul. I’m never sleeping again.What were we talking about? Oh, right. Kyle Long has been quietly dominant on the Bear’s o-line this season, so in honor of that, I give you: Kylenan The Barbearian!click for full sizeObviously the inspiration for this came from Frank Frazetta’s fantastic Conan paintings (not that I came even remotely close to that kind of quality), which not only defined that character, but even the fantasy genre as a whole, most of which borrowed it’s visual style from ancient Rome and Greece prior to Frazetta’s work in the genre. Seriously, google the early Conan book covers. Then google Frank Frazetta and just bask in the awesomeness.As per usual, for those who are interested, I’ve put together a little process gif for you all. It covers inspiration to line work to color to completion:As always http://www.bearsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-anthony-miller-jersey , if you have any suggestions for Bears related photoshops or illustrations, share them in the comments section.
