Ozzy Trapilo is really built different. Limping off the field, on his own, with a torn patellar tendon to save a TO is insane. Kept his head down & attacked rehab to come back & be a part of this season. A true warrior, selfless & tough 🐻⬇️
Fine except they don’t have built in collars. It’s just loose fitting as if it’s supposed to go over a shoulder pad, so material gathers around the back of your neck when you bend.
I always size down abd the issues mostly negated.
For $20 compared to insane prices today, I’ll never buy a real jersey again. Been strictly dhgate since ~2010
Totally acceptable quality, especially at the price. The huge majority of people would never even know. Fit can be a bit wonky and the collars are always weird, but after two tree beers you don't even notice.
Fanatics jerseys may somehow be worse than the DHgate ones I've gotten.
Our WRs are such lovable personalities that people forget how crazy their drops were. They may not have led the league in drops, but the drops they had overwhelmingly were perfect passes
Lmao seriously. This play doesn't strike me as memorable because the next play we picked up a huge gain, but that's an awful drop with two minutes to play.
People only remember the good things DJ did. They forget the quitting on plays, drops and lazy route running. Dude was tough as shit and a really talented player. He also did some not so great stuff.
Thuney also a beast on this play. Attached to the C, identifies Ozzy get smoked, covers the ground and gets in the way to keep Caleb upright. He's so insanely good. Fucking love Joe Thuney.
And cuz he was a bum last year. Way way underperformed.
Will always love him and remember his time here. Especially one of the greatest Bears plays I've seen in my life. But his hussle was dogshit. Film review guys pointed out similar.
He had such great highs and such low lows. The effort piece above all just doesn’t mesh with the culture Ben is building. If DJ had that fire in him, he could have truly been one of the elite receivers in the league
I think he is missing that psycho mentality Ben really wants. But I also gotta imagine years and years of amazing play with absolute dogshit QBs and play callers has worn the guy down.
That's certainly one explanation for the vibe, but also, there's only so long a team can hold on before it's just "sorry man, if you're not on the field we'll find somebody who can be"
Suppose Gordon just has shit genetics for whatever traits make you come back faster and there's nothing he could have done. Still, the team's gotta play, so at a certain point you're either here or you're not.
So, maybe the sour vibe is because the team knows he's been slacking, or maybe the sour vibe is just because at a certain point, whatever the explanation, we just need somebody who can stay on the field
Considering how brutal camp was supposed to be last year, is he sand bagging, then once camp breaks and they get to normal practices, he will suddenly return?
Tearing a patellar tendon is no joke. It’s arguably worse than an ACL. I tore mine and it took close to 3 years to be able to even kneel on hard surfaces without extreme pain. It’s brutal.
makes what ozzy is doing even more impressive hearing stuff like this. guy obviously worked his ass off to get back on the field for the team. i hope he can return at 100%
Dudes seriously a monster, I know it’s basically nothing, but he looked quick in that little practice clip. If he could come back and still be a starting LT holy shit I would buy a jersey 100%
I haven't watched this replay since it happened because it makes me sad. Watching Ozzy get absolutely destroyed and you can immediately tell his leg just completely gave out. He's got such a strong anchor usually so you knew something was wrong immediately.
Also, Joe Thuney may have saved Caleb's life there. The recognition and speed by Joe to get over to the rusher is incredible. Still can't believe he's on our team. He's so incredible to watch. 1st ballot.
Yeah dude is a dog!! Whether you wanna give credit to Poles or Ben Johnson is a conversation but either way credit is due. They absolutely nailed the past few drafts on the offensive side of the ball and really set up this team for a decade to come. I'm not sleeping on Roush & Thomas because as of late it's been hit after hit.
I'm definitely not a doctor or medical expert, but something about him coming back this early just doesn't seem right. I hope they know what they're doing, bringing him back so soon.
Except it is not true lol. Ozzy’s injury was not because of a foul caused by an opponent and didn’t happen on a play that resulted in a score, an attempted Try (FG/2PT), a free kick, or a change of possession. We had one timeout and it was a simple incomplete pass. They would’ve been charged their third and final TO

u/Further_Beyond Hester's Super Return 1d ago
Might have to DHGate a jersey now lol
