Anxious.

Harrison Smith is probably out, leaving our secondary in a rough spot. It'll force Flores to not be able to play his fun 3 safety looks, meaning metellus won't be playing his hybrid LB/S Slot Corner role and will probably have to take on a more traditional safety role.

TJ Edwards is probably out for the Bears which puts the middle of the field exposed for players like Hock and Theilen working in the flats and slot. So I think that's where we gotta target. Jaylon Johnson is also up on blocks, so Jefferson is gunna eat.

Soldier field has had something crazy like 5 concerts in as many days and the ground is a mess, billion dollar industry and grass Vs turf is always a problem for the NFL, I'm hoping we don't see any ground related injuries but the state of the stadiums grounds the other day... Makes me very concerned.

I think McCarthy just has to be safe with the football and not try to do too much and he'll be successful in this system.

Anxious yes, excited, certainly. It's football season baby let's go!!!
