Bearstalk

i really dont like watching our WRs at all. I feel bad for hester really, a guy on the other side of him would make him so much better. I wouldnt even bother covering bennett or davis.. http://blog.theredzone.org/ViewItem.asp?Entry=2556

I think that everyone agrees on AP at #1. After that, where does Forte rank?

Alright guys I have 2 fantasy drafts today and here is a breakdown of my 1st league. Keep in mind all TD's are 6pts and this league is NOT Points per reception and no flex. 1. Larry Fitzgerald 2. LaDainian Tomlison 3. Dwayne Bowe 4. Ronnie Bowe 5. Donovan McNabb 6. Greg Olsen 7. Willie Parker 8. Devin Hester 9. Beanie Wells 10.Chicago Bears D 11.Steve Breaston 12.Robbie Gould 13.Josh Morgan 14.Jamarcus Russell(due to the better matchup. other QB's available were getting tough defenses)

What I saw from tonight's game with our WR's: 1. Cutler forces the ball to Hester when Olsen's out. 2. IMO Rashied Davis appears to be our 2nd best WR. Not good. 3. Knox & Iglesias ain't going to see the field this year. 4. For all the hype, were Riddeau and DA even playing??? 5. Earl Bennett can't get open. I know the obvious excuses: It's just pre-season, blah, blah, blah . . . I ain't buying it. Cutler loves big WR's. Go get Matt Jones.

http://www.chicitysports.com/2009/08/17/64...cherish-thy-qb/ Pretty good article on Cutler in Chicago and Bear fans reaction to his first outing. ..worth the read.

Oy!

Snap to it: Whereas fumbled snaps seemed to be a regular occurrence during the Rex Grossman Era, there has yet to be a bad exchange between Cutler and Kreutz. "There's always going to be some of those, no matter how long you've played," Kreutz said. "But Jay does everything well -- and that includes taking a snap."

This statement came from the suntimes. When I read this it did not seem to me it was a throw under the bus statement. But then it would nt be Chicago if there was not some type of QB Controversy .

My biggest problem that I have seen while watching the game so far is that I haven't seen our CB's play near the line of scrimmage yet. Every time I look they are between 6-10 yards off. That is why Fitzgerald is even looking good.

It's just the first preseason game... We were vanilla... Had our two top offensive weapons out... Tommie didn't play... Saw a lot of things I liked... Gotta tackle better... The secondary is a concern... Jay's a gunslinger... I could've written this same postgame script after the first preseason game of all the Lovie Smith seasons. They always look like shit this early in camp. And he'll say "Of course" about 17 times in 10 minutes.

I mean, sure, we all want to see how Cutler looks. Let's be honest. But there are other things in the balance too. Things that somewhat hang off of Cutler's presence and others that just plain need to be answered after last year. You can't tell much from the first preseason game but there are things we can watch for, even in this exhibition game. Here's my list: 1.) Is Hester a real WR? I've always said he won't make it as a WR because he just didn't have the smarts. But that was always with the expectation that the Bears would never have a Probowl QB on their roster. Does the addition of Cutler make Hester into something I never believed he could be? …

Line got stuood up, saw one guy actually running routes, why the hell was Vasher onkn the field for returns? Its only preseason so not much stock in anything, but geez. Cant wait to see the articles on our team this week..

So I just got this game yesterday and have been playing it for a while. There is a drastic difference between this year's game and last year's. They have changed the pace of the game to slow it down to make it seem realistic. It takes a while to get used to but I think it did the game well. They also changed the default quarter lengths to 7 min due to this change. - As far as the graphics go, this is the best looking madden game ever. Lots of little details in the game that I love. They finally got Matt Ryan's sleeves he wears in games (Other players wear them as well) and added new gloves and cleats so now Hester wears the orange gloves and cleats in the game like h…
