Bearstalk

I want to start out that I'm not a big fan of Turner and Heinstand. Actually after the season ended last year I wanted their heads. My biggest reason was developing talent. Nada, ZIP, zero since they've been here. What I thought was some good FA signings this year and of course the best trade I've seen as a Bear Fan ( Cutler ) would help out our dynamic dual. Nope ! But I'm still holding out for some hope. I'll give them some time but not much. Many of you have been tossing this subject of why our offense is underachieving around this week it occurred to me it sounded like the argument of what came first the egg or chicken. I do admit both sides h…

Wouldn't you think of all OC's, Turner would know the most how to utilize Garret Wolfe. His brother runs the show in San Diego and while Norv is a terrible coach he's done a ton with a similar scat back. Couldn't Ron have made a call pretty easily to figure out some better ways to utilize Garret? Now my guess is that Ron has and I personally think the Bears need to utilize Wolfe more, but before we get crazy on things, if you watch the Chargers, they don't just throw screen passes with Sproles. They run him inside, outside, use him as a decoy, etc. Bottom line, I want everyone to remember that for Wolfe to succeed the Bears will have to do the sam…

Carson Palmer already called it a must game so the Bengals.com roundtable must have looked at the numbers to come up with a split decision to pick the 4-2 Bengals in Sunday’s 4:15 p.m. Paul Brown Stadium game against the 3-2 Bears. Under Marvin Lewis, the Bengals are 2-4 in their games before bye weeks. But under Lewis they are also 5-0 against the NFC North, 9-2-1 against the NFC at home, and have never been swept in back-to-back PBS games. Big Bird gives the Bears the edge because of their terrific run defense. But The Sage and The Eye opt for the Bengals with The Sage giving Cincinnati the intangibles and The Eye leaning to the Bengals’ ability to block the …

http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....ngals-game.html Harris is expected to miss this weekend's game and usually when Harris goes down, it only gets worse. This will be his last year in a Bears uni....Book it.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...3.column?page=2 Great article and it basically is consistent with what I had told you guys I had heard from a long-time coach and a guy who does some consulting work for Belliceck now.

I'd like to see some (more): No huddle. It killed us in Atlanta; why don't we try it on the Bengirls? More tosses and sweeps with Forte when the OG actually pulls. Omiyale- wake the f*** up. More screens with Wolfe or Forte. It worked for the most part in Altanta. More Wolfe. I'm tired of Forte excuses. How does he get no holes, yet when Wolfe comes in, he finds holes? Hmm... More wildcat. It worked once for 6-7 yards IIRC. Thoughts?

http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....ic-benson-.html 10/22/2009 Lance Briggs: No-huddle, Pisa's injury, Ochocinco, Cedric Benson Atlanta week was exciting, especially when you’re playing against a team of that caliber. You want to come in and make a statement about who you are as a team. Once a team starts to go no-huddle, you have a different type of procedure where we have wristbands on and we’re looking to get the calls out much faster. It’s just being more efficient. In order to be more efficient, we might do numbers or have the whole team look to the sideline to get the call instead of having to echo it all around … just a way of combating it.…

I got a group of about 22 Bear fans going on Sunday!!! anyone else want to join???

and other news. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...arnt23.article# Peace

Just read an article that Benson says the Bears blacklisted him with other teams. What an insecure twit! Cincy really is a perfect home for him, bunch of loud mouth, insecure crybabies!

I got a front row view of a lot of things today, a different perspective than ever before, and here are a few things I saw: -That 5-yd cushion garbage evidently doesn't apply to Knox and Hester, because they Falcons DBs were on them the entire game -Regarding the 5-yd cushion, the Line Judge took an ass chewing several times; it even looked like Lovie got fired up once -Anthony Adams is a great dancer, too bad he doesn't seem to care about the game -Greg Olsen mouthed several F-bombs when watching the defense play -Greg Olsen is the only guy on the sideline who looks like he wants to win above anything else -The entire OL is slow and blah in everything they…

I was just doing some quick browsing, and I found this link. Angelo should set it as his home page. Which one (two?) of the guys on the list do you think the Bears should target in FA? I would love to see the Bears nab two of these guys, and then draft a guy early.

Lovie needs to sit some players at the start of a game for a couple of series or a half. Omaliye,Forte,Harris for example. Lovie is their coach first, not friend first, who cares what they think.You cannot tell me Vasher did not want to prove something after being benched, and he did with a little luck but I know he was pumped when he was sent in. It lights a fire under the substitute and the player being sat,when he returnes, believe that. I want Lovie to get more fierce, like we do when we watch the game and get a little heated. Not Ditka style but more then he has. Another thing,I hate our blitzing. It's always everybody on the line rushing a straight line to the qb,wh…

Looks like Lovie has an interesting decision to make this week. Hope Hunter can play this weekend. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,4265899.story Peace

I am extremely happy with the development of our WRs. Hester, Bennett, and Knox have all stepped up big time. I do not see this as a need next yr. I would say FA and the draft should concentrate on: - Offensive line - Defensive backfield Get a top tier OL in FA and then draft best available of the 2 in the 3rd and 4th round. Peace

The Bengals Antwan Odom, DE, was lost for the year. CIN has allowed a league-high 25 pass plays of 20+ yards. I think we matchup pretty well against the Bengals. Palmer is not very mobile, and Benson only gained 44 yards against Houston's defense. This was a game that I expected us to win before the season started, and I still believe we should win. Looking at our schedule, this is where we could go on an extended run (as long as we don't give away anymore games). After CIN, we have CLE and ARZ at home, then @ SF, and then PHI at home before going to MIN. It would be nice to head into MIN at 8-3. We also have a favorable schedule after the MIN game (STL an…
