@jbutt90 - Who do you like better across from Akiem? Bullard or RRH?

More from NFL Mocks

This game today is about getting to the quarterback. Facts are facts. Robertson-Harris has three pressures including a sack in the past two games. Bullard has one pressure and no sacks. The two are also deadlocked with two stops for a loss. So the advantage is clearly in Robertson-Harris’ favor, especially given his bigger, longer frame.

@xLittleDreamerx - Where is Kevin White?!?

It’s hard to say this, but he’s where he belongs. In reserve. The Bears made a fun show of his progress in preseason but the fact is White is still limited as a receiver. He’s only played five total games in his career. In that time he’s changed offensive systems three times. The guy is a rookie in his fourth NFL season. Robinson and Gabriel are more proven and Miller is a better route runner. Thus White doesn’t get on the field much.

@gunsmokemd - When does Floyd get his cast off? He is a shell of himself right now, do you feel he is helping or hurting the team while on the field?

Floyd is still a factor in the running game and in coverage. He’s played both of those roles well. The pass rush issue was inevitable. It’s hard to beat NFL left tackles with only one good paw. The ability to grip and shed isn’t quite there. His frustration over the cast is evident even on tape. Luckily word just came out that he’s about to meet with the training staff about removing the club and putting on a smaller, more flexible cast. That’s a step in the right direction.
