Bearstalk

One bye week and it seems like forever since I've made a game thread. And yet somehow, I'm sure Tillman still had a pick-6 in there.

Detroit lost both starting tackles, there best pass rusher, there other DE and there starting safety. They added Jones/DE. Quin/FS and Bush. Bush is an upgrade but lost in the exchange of other players. Stafford does not play well under pressure.

www.theredzone.org Arizona closing in on a trade of Anquan Boldin Mar 5 3/5/2010 3:02:02 PM | More Adam Schefter of ESPN reports via Twitter that Arizona is closing in on a long-anticpated deal to trade Pro Bowl wide receiver Anquan Boldin. Leading contenders: Baltimore and Kansas City. Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times reports via Twitter New England is the frontrunner to land Anquan Boldin ---------------------------------------------------- If Olsen is truely a goner, i wouldnt be mad with it

OK. A good number here have gone back and forth on whether the Bears should entertain bringing in a veteran WR, like Boldin or Holt, with those opposed seemingly and in concert saying that the current staff (of WR's) is fine and not to mess with it. Further those in support of that "argument" state that bringing in a veteran player like the above mentioned would also hamper those currently on the staff from getting in the game and being noticed. One thing that a lot of folks agree with, for or against, is that Turner was unable to test the talent around him as he didn't have a creative bone in his body. So, now that Martz is in the fold and seeing another post say tha…

I want more Devin A. Does anyone know if he has ever seen the field before that play where he made that tip toe catch. It was so refreshing to see such a play. I cannot remember a catch like that for a bear player in a long time. It looked like a catch that other teams make,because of his size and just the way it looked. I was like "where did that come from"

True as it may be that we need WR'S but can he make an impact? I like the 4.3 speed at 6'3 and 200lbs, put him and Lloyd on the outside with Olsen at TE and Hester in the slot and Davis/Bennett in the 4 WR set we might have something. Speed kills but he needs to be able to catch the ball. Devin Aromashodu Position: WR Ht., Wt.: 6-2.5, 201 40 Time: 4.38 BIO: Two-year starter who totaled 26/494/4 as a senior after junior numbers of 24/513/4. POSITIVES: Explosive receiver with an unpolished game. Quickly releases off the line, sharp running routes and gets separation from opponents. Comes back to the ball using his frame to protect the pa…

Watching the highlight video of all his returns, and listening to Joniak make the Gale Sayers comparison, got me to thinking... Is Devin Hester already a HOF Candidate? He has literally changed the game. To me, his impact is similar to Lawrence Taylor's. Because of LT, teams now teach the tomahawk chop for the ball, and teams put a premium on LTs. The game changed as a result of his play. Can't the same be said of Hester? Has the game not changed when the Bears play? I have never seen teams purposely kick out of bounds to avoid a punt returner. I have never seen teams essentially give their opponents a 60 yard field on every kick off because the pooch i…

What should the Bears do with this guy after the season? It's clear he's not a WR. He's even slowed up a bit on the returns since his first 2 years. He's getting 7.6m this year, and his deal is up after this season.

Hester said he is retiring after his stellar performance returning for Seattle (194 yds) in yesterdays playoff game. Pace better get on the phone and propose he hold off and contemplate a send off from the Bears. He was one of the most electricfiling players in history and a tribute of him would electrify those emotions he brought everytime he stepped on the field.

He looked a LOT better tonight. He got some decent blocking and looked to go vertically instead of trying to run around everyone and get tackled for -3 yards. He was aggressive going down the field and looked like the Hester of old. I expect him to break one against Houston, and if I'm the Bears, I put Hester out there returning kicks NEXT to Danieal Manning. Side note...we need to play Soulja Boy again when he is back to return.

Anyone else agree that this guy hasn't been the same since he is considered an "All-Star". Don't get me wrong, he could return like a beast, but since he got the contract extension, he hasn't done anything for the team. Call his TD yesterday a good play, but I could have sworn he stepped out, but luckily he didn't. Overall, we're paying him way too much to get -6 yards on returns. He seems to stop running, then run backwards or straight sideways and try to make a big return. Before, he would just run for his life and get great blocks and moves. I guess I'm just sick of Hester trying to be #1 in the media by his returns. Right now, he's looking nothing like he us…

I stumbled across this on you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBZj5pJNuSA I've seen it all before, but damn it's fun to watch. Especially about the 5 minute 40 second mark when he circles around and just runs through 5 Viking players like they were spectators. It's too bad Jeff Joniaks "Windy City Flyer" label never caught on. Either way, I'd much rather see Hester working at this then becoming a #1 WR.

Hester was just released by Atlanta and was curious what you guys thought about bringing him back? I know he's probably done and the kickoff is being phased out, but DEVIN HESTER, YOU ARE RIDICULOUS!

From the Tribune: Chicago Bears Devin Hester willing to give up punt returns, just not immediately By Vaughn McClure It was interesting to see Jamie Dukes of the NFL Network rank Devin Hester the fifth-best return man in the league. Dukes said Hester would be No. 1 without the title of receiver behind his name. Wonder what Dukes and other NFL observers would say if Hester gave up returns, period? It could happen. The Bears star, who surrendered his kickoff return duties to Danieal Manning last season, said he would be willing to give up punt returns, too ... just not immediately. ``I think a return man simply has to be a return man,’’ Hester …

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...the-week-award/ Devin Hester wins NFC player of the week award Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on November 16, 2010, 5:40 PM EST In case you missed it, the old Devin Hester is back on returns for the Bears. He returned two kickoffs against the Vikings for 100 years. He had a 42-yard punt return. He even threw in four catches and a 19-yard touchdown. Hester’s work on returns earned him NFC special teams player of the week. “Devin has it going right now,” said coach Lovie Smith. “Guys are doing a great job blocking for him and he’s feeling it as far as thinking he can go the distance each time.” Hester return…

I just got to thinking about how poorly Orton throws the long-ball, and how it affects the overall offense. That made me think, "What would Devin Hester's stats look like if he had a QB who could throw the long ball?" -Lee Evans, who does nothing but catch the long-ball it seems, really benefitted from JP Losman throwin the longball. Insert Trent Edwards and the longball disappears. -Remember what Randy Moss looked like with Daunte Culpepper? -Remember how Marcus Robinson made Cade McNown look like a decent QB because the one pass Cade seemed to throw well was the rainbow deep ball? Devin Hester finished the year with 45 catches, 580 yards, and 3 TDs. Sup…

Here's more to the story.. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/giants/20...mas-hangs-em-up Talk about coming out of left field.. Looks like Sanzenbacher or perhaps that Summers kid might make the team after all.
