The game may have seemed to drag on for fans, but for the coaching staff of the Chicago Bears and Cleveland Browns, every snap counted.
First things first: J'Marcus Webb
Webb has always impressed with his athleticism... For a guy his size, he has always managed to wiggle his way onto the playing field based on his potential. At the beginning of the preseason, it would have been difficult to image him not making the Chicago Bears roster, if only as a swing tackle.
Fast forward four weeks, and he may end up getting his walking papers after tonight's game. Webb's off-the-field persona, highlighted by his reckless and sometimes nonsensical social media presence, turned a lot of fans off, but his on-the-field performance in front of coaches is what really matters. And in four preseason games, he never seemed to make a positive impression. The end of JWebbNation, at least in Chicago, may be near.
We will have more comprehensive coverage of the preseason finale tomorrow, but for tonight, we'll leave you with some stats.
