This very well could be his last year here. The fact that he doesn’t practice (and even Mike Vrabel said that was one of the main reasons why Tennessee was willing to let him go) is not gonna fly anymore. He OBVIOUSLY gets a pass for last year but he BETTER get his shit together!!!
ignorance you dont know his work ethic,. and he was a free agent veteran, why wouldnt he have a deal that allowed him to miss part of the off season stuff?? he is not a rookie
@@ragingoracle6239 he doesn’t always show up to practice, if he does he doesn’t always practice. When he was a titan, there were already concerns about work ethic and the lack of work he put into training. He has high upside, it’s just that he doesn’t always want to put in the work
@@doctorcrew2388 You say that, but he was still a top 20 Guard overall in the league when Poles signed him.. So maybe he really is that good, that he can miss some practices and still be a top 20 guard in the league. He is literally one of the top 5 guards when it comes to reach blocking.. His ability to get to the outside shoulder of a wide 3tech is just nuts. Bears are lucky to have him and all this talk about replacing him is crazy.. with who?? There is no one else on the team that does what he does, not even #58. He is the best reach blocker on the team and you absolutely must have at least on great one in the run game or your options are severvely limites.. Ppl can talk crazy about him, but ppl that think they have a better option on this team dont know offensive line play.. He is a special player.. You lose a lot of options with someone else playing that spot.
@@ragingoracle6239 That’s what I’m saying. He’s extremely talented and many people think he isn’t BECAUSE of his bad rep for not liking to practice and him seeming like he doesn’t care as much as other players. He has the potential to be a top guard, but he doesn’t put in the work for it.
@@doctorcrew2388 lol he already is a top guard.. he is literally in the top 20 out of 64 starters Im good with him.. Cant teach what he does.. better than bates and better than Jenkins at reach blocking
I think it's a combination of things. But the first is snap timing. If you can quickly explode out of your stance and jump as the QB is about to say the final word of his cadence, thatll go along way. Another thing is figuring out the depth you'll end up needing to give up when you're reaching. So if you're a RG reaching a 3t/4i, you might need to get out of your stance and move back 1/2 a yard. And you also have to think about the DL and what he's going to try to do when he sees you reaching. I would think he would try to get his hands on you. I know a few good OL coaches, what area are you in?
@@The_Football_Scout Former D lineman here.. Another thing I can say for sure is that working on having consistent get off and stance is also critical. Example, In most games you can Figure out when a Guard or Tackle is going to pull or dive bloc, or pass block by how their holding their weight. if you get lazy or tired it becomes obvious that say, if your leaning to one side for example I'm going to assume your about to pull the same direction, or another tell. it goes the other way around. As a D-line man, there are sometimes where you get on all 4s just to pop up and throw. in other words, half the fun is the Game within the game. Hope that helps. Lastly...CORE CORE CORE CORE.. work on your CORE.
Whitehair didn't play center for most of the season, it was Lucas Patrick #62. Whitehair #65 played mostly at LG, firstly to cover for Jenkins when he was injured and then when Jenkins moved over to RG when Davis was out. They did try Whitehair at center for a game but his snapping was so erratic they benched him. Both Patrick and Whitehair were really poor which is why neither is still with the team.
Doesnt matter when you miss over a third of the season. Our lack of depth was really put on display last year with having so many people out on our O-Line. If we stay healthy this unit could definitely perform average to above average rather than bottom tier like its been the last 2 years
Something that jumps out at me watching all these Bears blocking videos is: 1) Lucas Patrick was bad LOL 2) Cole Kmet is not a good blocker. He just kinda runs up to guys and gives them a little shove, if he was more aggressive and committed more then a lot of these plays would break for decent gains if not touchdowns.
His mom died last year and really effed his mental game up. Then came the injury. But he could show more if he gets back on track. I liked the o line more when Teven and wright were on the right side and they kept running the ball that way. They were mauling dudes
I want to give him an excuse for playing so bad after his mom passed. thats horrible and Nobody should deal with that especially this young. However.. I lost my dad and that season and put in some of my best material. Granted I played defensive Line so, it really breaks down to take up as many blocks as you can for your brothers or get to BALL! I Suppose thats why they moved me out of O line...I in hindsight had no idea what I was doing so put the big fast dude on defense cause at least he doesnt have to remeber the plays...as much.
Davis is a great player.. I think if anyone suffered the type of loss he suffered last summer, it would effect their work.. ignorant azzholes are gonna say what they say.. the Darma isnt worth it..
@@jeremyevans3555 yeah thats not true, go to any ratings site like pff or whomever, he was a top 20 guard in the league when he got signed.. thats just a fact, thats why Poles (an Olineman himself) paid him.. dont let the talking heads get you to believe that.. they are the same ppl that think Valus wont make the team, and Valus Jones Jr will not only make the team he will be the starting return guy.. He literally has the highest return average in the leafue last year. best regards
ua-cam.com/video/FiiK21VzI_o/v-deo.html shows that almost every player on the Bears' o-line was either coached to or was intent on sabotaging Fields. In just the 1st 23 minutes we see about nine separate Packers not get blocked. & that's just the first half of one game. As the narrator himself says, he's not gonna point it out Every Time It Happens because he's trying to focus on the QB analysis. So keep in mind that 22:45 what we see Davis do was before this tragedy, as well as that it's not the only time this game that happened or the only game it happens in. This is what the Bears have been doing to Fields *since at least '22.* I think the reason they get away with it yet are not ranked lowest in either run _OR_ pass-blocking is that no rating system counts blocks that o-lines don't attempt, only ones they do. So running away from blocks, which they do regularly doesn't affect their scores. It's the only thing I can think of because when I watch film of the Giants or Titans' o-lines from last year, both rated worse, I don't see play as bad as this. This is why /fields eventually developed Bad Footwork. Imagine watching your own teammates do this to you week in, week out, not only never apologizing, not only doing it again, but going over to the sidelines & hearing No Coach even mention it, like it's normal. Yeah. It was intentional.
Terrible take shows you know nothing about Football. This guy has been bad since he got the bag Last week he was active all week practiced then took himself out of lineup w fathom injury in game Day. No he is cut stole his money. Never worked for it .
This aged absolutely horribly. He should be arrested for that performance last night
The best ability is availability. That’s what makes me wonder about Davis.

I did not know that Vrabel said that. That's unfortunate if it's true. Davis will only count 2M if cut after this year.
The talent isn’t the issue. It’s his terrible work ethic

Love your break downs Bro! Very insightful!😊❤ Thanks👍
Great Breakdown man! What do you think makes Davis so good at reach blocking? I am a high school lineman and I'm trying to get better at reaching.

No one is too good for practice. We need team players. Not selfish lazy ones…
Imagine how good he would be if he actually practiced lol....
Nate is a dawg 🐻
Not really
Seem like he got his $$$ and quit. Non Guaranteed after this year and he still missing mandatory Otas bro. Again!!!!

Thanks brother!
I hope he has a good year. Hes getting a lot of negative reviews right now because he never seems to participate in practices.
We need Nate in both mind and body. Cody just didn't have it anymore, hope the new centers step up.
My God Patrick was atrocious
Doesnt matter when you miss over a third of the season. Our lack of depth was really put on display last year with having so many people out on our O-Line. If we stay healthy this unit could definitely perform average to above average rather than bottom tier like its been the last 2 years
Nate is a good lineman, but he has an Allen Iverson problem.
Luke Getsy was terrible at designing plays
He's got the skills. Get on the Field man
nate isn't bothered by media, he'll be alright lmao. He's gonna step up dw
He is a lazy clown
Imagine how good he would be if he actually played
Something that jumps out at me watching all these Bears blocking videos is:

Please do James Daniels my guy 🙏🏽
Soon
@@The_Football_ScoutBet bet appreciate it

He’s good when healthy!!!
Apparently not that good if he plays when he wants to
The truth is, he hasn't been the same since those injuries he has suffer from and now he's such an under performer that he got cut
I really have no problems with big Nate except him not being on the field. All the skill in the world won't help from the sidelines
Nate, Nate, where, oh where, is the passion?
Let him enter the Vienna hot dog eating contest.
There is a good chance Nate is not playing for some other tream this year
Guy has talent , but he has to be on the field not at home or on the bench . He also has to have better work ethic and practice habits .
His problem is mental. He clearly doesn't care about having his mind and body right to be a full time starter
I want to give him an excuse for playing so bad after his mom passed. thats horrible and Nobody should deal with that especially this young. However.. I lost my dad and that season and put in some of my best material. Granted I played defensive Line so, it really breaks down to take up as many blocks as you can for your brothers or get to BALL!

I realize he will never play more than a few games. In his mind he's retired
Video is 16 minutes long… sounds about right, because he sure wasn’t on the field either for practice or for games.
Davis is a great player.. I think if anyone suffered the type of loss he suffered last summer, it would effect their work.. ignorant azzholes are gonna say what they say.. the Darma isnt worth it..
True but he was an issue before the tragedy. Which is why Tennessee let him go. The tragedy just made it worse

11:17 is a screen. He took a poor angle off the line though.
Doesn’t matter if he’s not on the field
Yeah he's been a disappointment. He's gonna have to step up or get benched. Can't keep missing practices and what not.
Reminds me of Eddie Goldman , talented but lazy and bad work ethic.
Nate Davis ain't good for the Bears. He is a walking injury. I am glad that his guaranteed is over. Waiting for Bears to get rid of him.
Welp :(
Terrible take shows you know nothing about Football. This guy has been bad since he got the bag
