Bearstalk

The guy can't block. The guy can't read a defense. What the hell can he do well?

This reminds me of when Griese killed the Bears a few years ago. This Cover-2 shit is just not a good defensive scheme if the opponent has a patient QB who is willing to chuck the ball for 7 yards at a time. It's the same thing that happened in the Super Bowl. Eventually, the DBs are naturally going to step in a bit, wanting to stop the quick passes and perpetual first downs. And then what happens? The deep outs and the seam passes are open. This defensive scheme just sucks. I hate its passive nature, and the way it can turn stud players into average players.

Guys with whistles are being termed "flexible." I think a better word is desperate. Slap 'em on the back if you want, but all I see is the rearranging of deck chairs on the Titanic that is the Bears' offensive line. The nine fir…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...d-to-teammates/ Seriously, does this instance even remotely have the weight of losing someone's father? He cried becasue he's guilty... I hope she gives the NFL enough to suspend him so he can finally end that streak in disgrace! F Favre!

Jeff Garcia still wants to be in the NFL. Todd Collins doesn't deserve to be in the NFL. This seems like an amazingly easy decision.

Read the excerpt(s) from the article.... "If Chris Williams makes that transition to guard beginning Sunday against the Seahawks, he will follow in the footsteps of players such as Robert Gallery, Leonard Davis, Mike Williams and Chester Pitts. Others, such as Daryn Colledge of the Packers, were moved immediately from tackle to guard when they became pros. The Packers have experimented with Bryan Bulaga, their first round pick this year, playing guard as well as tackle." If Williams is incapable of playing left tackle in the NFL, nobody knows it yet as he has had only seven starts. If you want to give up on Williams now, you probably also would have given u…

http://theredzone.org/BlogDescription/tabi...ay/Default.aspx Cutler given green light to practice Wednesday Oct 12 10/12/2010 12:42:48 PM | More According to Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has been given the green light to participate fully in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Cutler will start against the Seattle Seahawks at Soldiers Field on Sunday. ________________________________ Thank God... and Ditka on a side note... Bears QB Collins passed his concussion test. According to team physician Joe Schmoe 'Physically he is fine, but unfortunately he just plain sucks"

Chris Williams. Just breaking. LT is Omiyale LG is Williams Webb stays at RT. Suddenly we are alot younger overall on the line. Now if Williams can handle being a decent G...we may not be as bad off as things felt a couple weeks back.

Just heard that that Omiyale stays at LT, Webb at RT, and Chris Williams will take over for Garza at LG. I'm intrigued. I've reada few things that Williams may end up being a better guard than tackle. I guess the experiment continues...

Have been reading around and hearing about some folks that "could" fit into the Bears plans. Nothing solid mind you just rumors. Names on the list: Berrian ( ), Carolina's Steve Smith ( ), NE's Logan Mankins ( ) , Alphonso Boone (this one actually is more true than not) and I even heard someone mention Jeff Garcia ( Any others out there? And I have a new candidate for Head Coach for those that are not fans of Lovie's. At the very least watch the video when you start second guess how the season is going.

I had a scary thought today... Green Bay GB is decimated with injuries, currently 3-2, and has the following left: MIA, MIN, NYJ, DAL, MIN, ATL, SF, DET, NE, NYG, CHI That's 8 tough games left, without even counting a dangerous Dallas team, an improving Detroit team, and an underperforming SF team. GB could feasibly finish with 4 or 5 more losses, easily, and finish just on the outside of a wild card birth. Minnesota Sitting at 1-3 with the following left: DAL, GB, NE, ARI, CHI, GB, WAS, NYG, CHI, PHI, DET That's 8 tough games for them as well. And since Fartve isn't having a miracle year like last year, they will probably do worse than GB. …

For those who were able to see the game, how did the O Line look? Forte had a big day, does that mean the O Line were an improved unit?

http://theredzone.org/BlogDescription/tabi...in/Default.aspx Reebok out, Nike in Oct 12 10/12/2010 1:50:21 PM | More Sean Leahy ofUSA Today reports that Reebok will be relinquishing its rights as the NFL's uniform provider in a new licensing apparel deal announcing by the league on Tuesday. Nike will produce all NFL uniforms and on-field apparel beginning in 2012.

I am saying this tonight as I was predicting with friends in the offseason. Brett Favre will quit during the season. They will pull some injury BS or whatever, but he's done and goes out tarnishing a stellar career. ____________________Where it all started _______________________

So this question's been raised in the sports media, and I thought it'd be interesting to hash it out here. Chris Williams is (hopefully) going to come back from his hamstring in the next week or two. He struggled a bit before his injury, but that's a pretty small sample size, and he was solid at LT last year. I have to assume that he'll get his job back on the left side once he's healthy. That raises the question, though - what do we do with Omiyale? Here are my thoughts. Big Frank hasn't played badly on the left side, but he certainly hasn't been outstanding. However, he really played pretty poorly on the right side before the switch. He wasn't great in pass …

I know we are 4-1. But lets be honest and objective, it hasn't been pretty. So far this year: Jay Cutler- 68/102 912 yds 6TD 3Int Kyle Orton- 118/175 1419 yds 6 TD 3Int Johnny Knox- 12 Rec 258 yds 0 TD Brandon Lloyd- 29 Rec 589 yds 3 TD Given, I would rather have a weaker quarterback and be 4-1. Both chicago and denver are equally abismal rushing. We are 31st and they are 32nd. This is just math.
