Bettcher drawing interest from Bears?

[gbrim21]

Golden has the size to play D-end in a 4-3 and that was his position in College

DE: Jones, Golden
DE/DT: Nkemdiche, Gunter, K. Martin, Mauro, Pierre, Rucker
DT: Peters, Williams
OLB: Reddick, Bucannon
MLB: Bynes, G. Martin, Wright

This. Golden ran like a 4.92 40 at the combine, no chance he plays off ball LB. Dude needs his hand in the dirt.

The 4-3/3-4 debate is interesting and will be something to watch. We've been 3-4 for so long my mind struggles to wrap itself around the concept of a traditional 4-3.

In the end, I wouldn't be shocked if we did what the Pats and other teams do, run a hybrid depending on the situation. As has been mentioned we have versatile players

The Bears can have him. I want to start fresh with an entire new staff.

He ran 4.74 and 4.76 at his pro day, and I don't think he "needs" to have his hand in the dirt. That was the rap on him coming out of college, but he seems to have adapted his game to become a real 3-4 OSLB.

So I’ll predict his real time was like a 4.85-86 considering Pro Day times are faster than Combine times. However, I do agree with you.

Bears fans are tripping over themselves for Bettcher as DC on Twitter.

What a strange world it is.

That is also true that timing by hand is usually better for the athlete. He ran 4.9 at the combine but the average for DE/OLB is 4.78 and the average for an OSLB 4.73. If he ran a 4.5 he would been drafted over Shane Ray his team mate...

We’ve had much worse than Bettcher.... he’s solid if unspectacular IMO.
But he seems to play people outside of their natural positions for reasons I don’t understand.
