Why do the Bears keep shuffling James Daniels around?

The latest WCG Radio has us dive into the Bears’ injury issues, poor pass rush planning, and muse about a strange offensive line carousel.

NFL: Chicago Bears OTA
He’s a man without a country.
Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports

It’s the late stages of the NFL preseason so you know what that means ... it’s time to recklessly speculate!

*Confetti drops, bells and whistles go off spectacularly, fireworks explode.

One of those discussions centers (pun intended) around why the Bears insist on putting a natural center in James Daniels at left guard after giving him exclusive center snaps for the past few weeks. Does it have anything to do with quarterback and center feelings? Another is horrid planning in advance by Chicago general manager Ryan Pace to address his 2018 edge pass rush: is he that complacent?

It’s true!

On the latest episode of Windy City Gridiron Radio, Editor-in-chief Lester Wiltfong Jr. joins me to discuss this Bears offensive line shuffling and their pass rush issues. He’s my favorite offensive tackle ever and the big man has thoughts on a lack of continuity up front. As always: name a better duo, I’ll wait.

Just as a reminder, WCG Radio is a brand we’re really invested in building here at Windy City Gridiron. You, as the listener, deserve the absolute best out of a Bears podcast, and we’re going to try to give that to you with our hot takes responsible opinions. We appreciate you listening, and hope you’ll stay along for the ride.
