As far as my primary likes for 26-27?
Another thing really no one is talking about. There’s a very silent but dangerous and deadly undertow happening in Green Bay. D Coaching changes. What The Bears gained in O abilities last year? GB just matched it with D ability in 2026 imo. It’s not a coincidence either.
Obviously we’ve switched Coordinators. Yet Babich as our DB coach/Pass game Coordinator, Covington as our LB’s coach. Then Daniel Bullocks was poached from the 49ers and hired as our CB coach and we all know how good the 49ers have been preventing big yards performances. He’s largely been mentored by Robert Saleh all the way back to Jacksonville. Then Demeeco Ryans mixed in more recently. From 2019-2024, the 49ers are the ONLY 1 NFL team to rank top 10 in Defense across that 6 year span.
Our D staff is now a conglomeration of the New England Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles and SF49ers staff. My hope is MLF stays the H out of their way!
GB has quietly established an All Star cast D coaching tree. Add to that Bullocks, Babich and Covington have the Queens of the chessboard. Micah Parsons, Xavier, Cooper, Franklin, Evan now entering year 3. Wyatt and Hargrave. Now McClellan added inside to compete for primary depth options. LVN can play versatile across that DL. Then good depth with Brenton Cox Jr and Barryn Sorrell coming on strong to close out 2025. We could do much worse than DDS and Colin Oliver all the way 3 deep on each side. Then several alternatives to use at CB with St Juste and Cisse added.
We also haven’t even considered that Brian set himself up. We now have the monetary ability to grab a substantial Add if needed before trade deadline.
