Chicago Bears "Madden 19" Ratings: What EA Sports got right and wrong Jul 11, 2018

Show notes

EA Sports released the preliminary player ratings for "Madden 19," and as usual, the video game had some suspect evaluations of Chicago Bears players.

Lorin Cox takes you through all the notable players from the game, including a disrespectful rating for Mitchell Trubisky and a clear miscalculation of Tarik Cohen's explosiveness.

Even if you're not a player of the video game series, Madden ratings still provide an outside perspective on where the Bears' roster stands compared to the rest of the NFL.

LoB Mailbag: Should the Bears try James Daniels at left tackle? Jul 05, 2018

Show notes

We opened up the Locked on Bears mailbag for a question on Twitter from one of the loyal listeners of the podcast.

Tom Pappalardo asked about whether or not James Daniels' athletic tools would allow him to compete with Charles Leno Jr. at left tackle. If Daniels couldn't hold up on the outside, he could just slide back in to left guard, Pappalardo said.

Host Lorin Cox answers the question and dives into the nuance of offensive line play, analyzing the different types of athleticism required to play tackle versus guard and whether Daniels fits the mold.
