of the year come from very different ends of their career arcs.Browns offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens was not the team’s offensive coordinator when the year got underway. Kitchens was the running backs coach under Todd Haley http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-devin-hester-jersey , but he got bumped up to the coordinator position when Haley was fired along with head coach Hue Jackson eight games into the season.The move came with the Browns holding a 2-5-1 record, but they would win five of their final eight games and a major turnaround for rookie quarterback Baker Mayfield was a major reason for that turnaround. Mayfield completed 58.3 percent of his passes while throwing eight touchdowns and six interceptions before the coaching change.After Kitchens took over, Mayfield completed over 68 percent of his passes and posted 19 touchdowns against eight interceptions. The 27 total touchdown passes are a new rookie record and Kitchens also got rookie running back Nick Chubb going after the Browns traded Carlos Hyde to add another reason why many in Cleveland are hoping that Kitchens will remain with them team regardless of what decision they make with the head coaching position.While the 2018 season was Kitchens’ coming out party, it was just the latest in a long run of good years for Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Fangio has been running defenses for the last 25 years and the Bears were happy to have him back with the team after hiring Matt Nagy as their head coach last year.Nagy got to work on building the offense while Fangio took control of a defense that allowed the fewest points in the NFL. They led the league in interceptions and takeaways while scoring six touchdowns and recording 50 sacks on the way to an NFC North title.That’s led to head coaching interviews for Fangio, although there are likely plenty of people in Chicago who hope that he’s in the running for this award again next year.Cowboys defensive backs coach Kris Richard and Ravens quarterbacks coach James Urban were a couple of other names that got thrown out in consideration for these awards, but Kitchens and Fangio wound up standing out above the rest.

Cox/Getty ImagesJudging by their first two selections in the 2019 NFL Draft Womens Danny Trevathan Jersey , it’s clear the Bears had an imperative to continue adding young weapons to their deep offensive arsenal. After standing pat, the Bears have drafted former Georgia wideout Riley Ridley at No. 126 overall in the fourth round. Someone who can turn into a long-term standout if taken care of well.Let’s grade the Bears’ selection of another offensive position player. Grade: BThe only reason I don’t give Ridley’s addition flying colors is because he doesn’t address anymore pressing needs. The Bears could still use cornerback and edge depth in their pipelines. To be fair to them, at this point in the draft, their options at those positions were slim pickings. Otherwise, taking a player like Ridley in the fourth-round — someone many considered to be a second-round talent, yours truly included — is a great forward-thinking move. From bullying smaller cornerbacks and natural body control with the ball in the air, to sure hands — Ridley has every trait you seek in a bigger receiver at 6-foot-2 Cody Whitehair Jersey , 199 pounds. It’s the smaller aspects of his game like an occasional lacking quickness off the line he’ll have to fix to become a major contributor at the next level. If the Bears stay patient with Ridley as he learns the nuances of the professional game, he should turn into a solid and reliable player down the line. It won’t easy to quickly integrate into a complicated offensive scheme like head coach Matt Nagy’s, but Ridley has plenty of time.Standing pat and taking Ridley was the epitome of a “best player available” selection. You don’t pick a player in the fourth round if you don’t expect them to reach their potential. A two-year starter for the Bulldogs, Ridley is the younger brother of second-year Falcons standout Calvin Ridley. An impeccable red zone threat and big play weapon (he averaged over 14.7 yards per catch) Ridley caught nine touchdowns for Georgia last season. The main difference between the Ridley brothers is that Riley is slightly worse coming out and won’t be a 45-year-old rookie. The main similarity between the brothers is that they both tested relatively poorly in pre-draft work. Other than those two notions, he’s a respectable fourth-round developmental value for general manager Ryan Pace and company. After trading up for their running back of the future in David Montgomery on Friday night, the Bears add a young receiver to mold for the long-term in Ridley. He joins a deep Chicago offensive room, on paper http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-jonathan-bullard-jersey , that features Montgomery, Allen Robinson, Tarik Cohen, Anthony Miller, Trey Burton, Adam Shaheen, Cordarrelle Patterson Womens Akiem Hicks Jersey , Taylor Gabriel, Mike Davis, Marvin Hall, and Javon Wims. Talk about competition and depth at every skill position. Excuse me while I exhale. What’s intriguing about Ridley’s pick is what it potentially spells out for some of the Bears’ pricier active receivers. 28-year-old Taylor Gabriel has one more year of a sizable at cap hit at $6.5 million in 2019 on a deal signed last off-season. After next season’s conclusion, the Bears only incur $2 million in dead cap if they were to cut the smaller veteran wideout. To a lesser extent, Allen Robinson also has his dead cap drop to $2 million if cut after the 2019 season. He carries a $15 million cap hit next year on a soon-to-be cap-strapped roster with extensions like Cody Whitehair and Eddie Jackson on the way. Sometimes the writing on the wall is more obvious than it seems. In my mind, the Bears are more likely to move on from Gabriel after next year and stick with Robinson for another two years given that the latter is their No. 1 wideout. Gabriel doesn’t play special teams and has more of an ancillary role. But Bobby Massie Jersey , crucially, you can never rule out any scenario in the NFL. They don’t call the league “Not. For. Long” for nothing. The Bears are likely already preparing for a cheaper potential life after Gabriel and Robinson. When they move on is something they’ll just have to let play out. Until the Bears are forced to rectify with their pending difficult roster decisions, it’ll be fascinating to see how Nagy and his staff attempt to effectively integrate everyone on a Super Bowl contender. There’s but one ball for so many weapons on offense. It’s a good problem to have.
