Lot of open WRs all night, thought we were very lucky Williams accuracy was really poor in the 2nd half and that we were containing him in the pocket. I just have never seen Murphy as a great cover corner which is why I would not have given him that contract, wish we gave that money to Bynum instead. Thought he was giving up a lot of space. We got by last night, but unless the DL puts pressure on the QB like they did last night most downs, they are not good enough as they are.

And perhaps the biggest question for the secondary is whose idea was it to cut Nahshon Wright? 6'4" CB that we traded Booth for, could not have gotten at least an invite to off season practices with the group of CBs on this roster? Not saying he is a pro bowler, but surely he could have made this CB room.

Yeah I thought that was pretty ironic. Wright was the only thing we got from Dallas for Andrew Booth and he gets a pick six against us? Andrew Booth also had a pick six in the preseason for Dallas.

I will reserve judgement of our DBs until we see a few more games. I really feel Flores was feeling out what Ben Johnson's game plan was. They kept everything in front of them, made caleb work his way down the field. Once they got a feel for it, weathered the scripted plays, then Flores started mixing it up and bringing the heat.

I saw elsewhere that someone said Johnson had owned Flores. Well, today Flores kept the Johnson scheme in check. Other than the initial TD drive, and one drive in the 3rd, the Bears offense didn't do much.

As to Wright, that was my thought as well. 6'4"? He seemed to play fairly well. Not sure if he was a good fit here, but that is a big dude.
