- In almost every situation, an NFL team won't pay any attention to a 3rd round rookie. Respect is earned after all. Tell that to the Carolina Panthers, who clearly wanted zero part of Zavion Thomas all day Sunday. #Bears (1/2)

Colston Loveland didn't have a catch.
Zavion Thomas didn't play one snap on offense.
Caleb Williams' QB sneaks didn't work.
They committed too many penalties.
When the Bears say they could be even better, believe them. How scary is that?
My column.

- Sep 14 Erik Lambert (X) 10. Watching Green Bay collapse in Minnesota was pure joy. However, there was some important info to glean from it. The Vikings allowed 353 yards through the air. Their secondary looked vulnerable, especially against speed. Luther Burden and Zavion Thomas time? #Bears
- Sep 14 Adam Jahns (X) Colston Loveland didn't have a catch. Zavion Thomas didn't play one snap on offense. Caleb Williams' QB sneaks didn't work. They committed too many penalties. When the Bears say they could be even better, believe them. How scary is that? My column.
- Kalif Raymond didn't need long to see why the #Bears drafted Zavion Thomas. You can't teach speed. However, the veteran receiver knew what he had to do next. Make that strength even more terrifying. (1/2)
