Bears' defensive tackle listed as a huge RISER from Thursday's game!
DT Trevon Coley was one of the best players on the field versus the Seahawks on Thursday. He was playing his heart out and he made a few very key plays.
In fact, Bears writer Alex Shapiro listed him as a "Riser" from the game. This means that his stocks, if you will, are going up! He clearly helped his chance to make the final 53-man roster.
Here is what Shapiro said:
The Bears have several reliable options in the interior defensive line this season. Justin Jones, Angelo Blackson and Mario Edwards Jr. (even though he's listed as a defensive end) have all shown the disruption Matt Eberflus looks for in his defensive tackles, so Coley, a six-year veteran, isn't fighting for a starting job, as much as he is for a job, period. On Thursday he continued to add his name to the mix of disruptive tackles with a big sack on a 3rd-and-15 play, and the way in which he did it will be sure to catch his coaches' attention. Coley was initially, taken to the ground, and seemingly out of the play, but he got back up, kept going, and eventually notched the sack. H.I.T.S. at its finest. Coley now has three sacks over the two preseason games, and is making a strong case to survive cut-down day as a reliable depth piece on defense.
