Henderson/Getty ImagesLast year, when the primary backup cornerback was an undrafted free agent, the Chicago Bears received 16 starts from one corner and 15 from the other. The Bears did have to use a back up at nickel when the number one went down with an injury, but they turned to a veteran to fill the role. Relatively speaking, the team was fortunate in the health department in 2018.If the Bears aren’t so lucky with injuries in 2019, are you comfortable with the reserves this time?Roster LocksKyle Fuller finally broke through in a big way by being named as a first team All-Pro after leading the NFL in interceptions and passes defended. I’m old enough to remember back when the Packers signed Fuller to an offer sheet, only to see the Bears quickly match it, then listening to Packer fans brag about how their team tricked the Bears into re-signing Fuller. The other starting corner is veteran Prince Amukamara, who at 30-years old, is coming off one of his best seasons as a pro. His three interceptions tied a career high, and he recorded the first touchdown of his career. At nickelback, the Bears lost Bryce Callahan to the Denver Broncos, so they doubled down at the position and added Buster Skrine in free agency and drafted Duke Shelley in the sixth-round. The 30-year old Skrine has played both outside and in the slot during his career Bobby Massie Jersey , so if he’s beat out by the rookie, he could provide some experienced insurance. Shelley is a player that the coaches mentioned as having a good offseason. I’d normally have special teams ace Sherrick McManis in this spot, but he appears to be a full time safety now. A good bet to make itKevin Toliver II was the first corner off the bench a year ago, and he picked up the start in the one game that Prince missed. He wasn’t tested very often in that game, but he was a high ceiling type of player when the Bears signed him as a UDFA out of LSU. The Bears carried six corners last year, so if they do that again, this next group is in for a heck of a battle. On the bubbleSeventh-round draft pick Stephen Denmark is a great athlete and at 6’3”, 220 pounds he’d be one of the bigger corners in the league, but his technique is raw after converting from wide out at Valdosta State before his junior season. If he can show a knack for special teams, the Bears may live with him as the 6th corner and look to develop his skills on the active roster. UDFA Clifton Duck has nickel size (5’10”, 170), but he was extremely productive on the outside at Appalachian State. John Franklin III is one of the fastest players in the NFL, and he spent some time on the Bears’ practice squad a year ago. Michael Joseph is another corner that was on the Bears’ practice squad in 2018. When I was at camp Sunday he had a few physical hits during 11 on 11s.Jonathon Mincy gives the Bears some position flexibility with his ability to play anywhere in the secondary https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Adrian-Amos-Jersey , and he’s another 2018 practice squader.Stock up, stock down: Bears-Patriots That was a tough loss Sunday and the Bears are back at .500. Granted, not many would have picked the Patriots game to be a win when the schedule was announced, but disappointment comes with changing expectations.Being .500 here is actually progress for the Bears, who have been out of it by Halloween for the last few years.They have a chance to get back into the win column over the next couple of weeks and get things pointed in the right direction heading into the halfway point.So let’s take a look back at Sunday’s game, and see which players need to improve and which players need to keep playing well to help the Bears get back to their winning ways.Stock upBilal Nichols, DT - The rookie fifth round pick had himself a day trying to pick up the pass rush for the Bears. Nichols had a forced fumble and a QB hit, as well as being very close to splitting a sack with Roquan Smith.Kyle Fuller, CB - Three interceptions in two games definitely deserves a shoutout. Did he play perfect? No, but he had three passes defensed to go with a right place, right time INT.Trey Burton, TE - On a day where the Patriots seemed determined to not let Taylor Gabriel get open, Burton picked up the slack with a career day: nine receptions for 126 yards (both career highs) and a touchdown. Stock downDion Sims Jordan Howard Color Rush Jersey , TE - What is he still doing on this roster? The one pass that went his way bounced off his hands and was incomplete. I get that he’s just filler until Adam Shaheen comes back, but Sims has been a waste of money.Eddie Jackson, S - This is two weeks in a row he makes an appearance here, but he needs to be better. His failure to wrap up (a knock on him coming out of Alabama) allowed Josh Gordon to run free for most of the extra yardage on the touchdown.Ben Braunecker, TE - I hate to jump on the kid, especially when you hear his post game comments, but a small technique mistake will be deadly in the NFL and it was Sunday. Branecker is a core special teamer and is solid on that unit, but he deserves the mention here, even though it pains me to do so.Who did I miss? Who are your picks?
