A few days ago, I did a profile on outside linebacker Pernell McPhee. In that article, I stated that McPhee and the player opposite him, Leonard Floyd, had been considered a top pass rushing duo by some in the media. These people feel that if these two can remain healthy, they can dominant and end up as the best pass-rushing duo in the NFL.
In the previous sentence, I mentioned “healthy.” That seems to be a big buzzword with many players on the Bears’ roster, especially after last season. In 2016, the Bears were decimated by injuries, and that is perhaps the biggest reason why they won only three games.
