Chicago Bears Mailbag: Mitch Trubisky, Roquan Smith and more

@mznoor786

Its pretty clear that Bobby Massie is not going to be a bear next season so who do you see them drafting/signing to replace him?

I agree that his time in Chicago won’t go beyond this year. He’s not the best fit for this offense. They need somebody more athletic and more reliable in pass protection. One thing I should say is don’t ignore Rashaad Coward. The former undrafted defensive tackle was shifted to offensive tackle this offseason by the Bears and played considerably above expectations. So much that the team felt they couldn’t afford to lose him during the final cuts at the end of August. He’s big, long, athletic and carries a nasty disposition. He could be ready to replace Massie with another offseason of work by next year.

Least favorite Bears player of all-time?

Cedric Benson and it’s not even close. I never liked the guy from the start. He was the one the Bears picked instead of Aaron Rodgers. He held out on his rookie contract for 36 days and never looked like a guy who wanted to work. Then he suffered health issues and committed that critical fumble in the Super Bowl against Indianapolis. After that, he gets arrested multiple times and has the nerve to say the Bears blackballed him after his release in 2008. He subsequently goes to Cincinnati, finally discovers his work ethic and has a couple good years. Then, just to rub it in, he signs with Green Bay before retiring.

I despise Benson.
