Big Toe should be in the rotatiion. He looked good at the end of last yr. I think it would be a great idea to get Sapp in hear to talk to the players D Line. They need to hear an outside perspective. Peace

I think if you liked the coaching staff you wouldn't care. Because you don't, every little thing they do get's highlighted. That's you and that' fine. I just think it was a few meaningless reps he gave to someone at the end of blowout game. Peace

Watched it again and your right, it is somewhere in the middle. Hester is about half his size. He could have simply grabbed him. I don't think he was intending to hurt him. It looked alot worse the first time I saw it. Peace

What type of question is that? I'll watch the play again later but it certainly looked like he hit him intentionally. BTW - Toub sounded fairly pissed. Peace

AP has been a good soldier for yrs. The game was over and Lovie was simply throwing him a bone. There are much bigger issues to discuss. This is not an issue to me. Peace

http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2008/11/hi...ds_dr.html#more Dude should have been fined. He was not even on the field. Peace

Really????? Who knew!!!!!! Peace

Of course, but if I am Rivera I would want to come back to Chicago (even given the prior circumstances). He played here and coached here (twice). He also had a radio show here for awhile. Bottom line, these are professionals and they need to be able to put the past behind them. Peace

You're right - not sure how I missed that. Bears | Week 11 Inactives Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:02:06 -0800 The Chicago Bears have declared DL Anthony Adams, QB Caleb Hanie, WR Earl Bennett, DL Ervin Baldwin, OT Fred Miller, RB Kevin Jones, CB Marcus Hamilton, DL Matt Toeaina inactive for Week 11. Peace

Last week we had 5 receivers active: - Hester - Davis - Booker - Lloyd - Bennett (special teams only) So this week we could go with 5 again which would include Rideau. Reading Biggs article, it sounds as if Rideau has been practicing special teams heavily. Peace

Step back a second. If Lovie is fired and Rivera is still a DC do you think he we turn down an interview or offer with the Bears? If he did, I guarentee other organizations would hear about that. It could be career suicide. Rivera wants to be a head coach. If he is given the chance, he would be a fool to turn down that opportunity. He may never get another offer. Peace

Actually, Bennett has been active for the past 5 weeks playing primarily on special teams. Peace

Where are your seats? Peace

Would love to see the kid play. Probably McClover is going on IR. http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2008/11/wr...to_53.html#more Peace

Rivera leaving was Lovie's decision. I don't think that will be an issue. Peace

Changes that need to happen: 1 - Adams needs to start. It is clear that Dusty needs to regroup. 2 - Graham needs to start. Vasher needs to know that money will not dictate a starting role. 3 - Manning takes over kick returns. 4 - Jones takes at least 5 carries a game. 5 - Booker needs to sit until healthy. Bennett should get his reps. 6 - Beuning or Metcalf take over for Garza. He is the weakest link on the O-line. 7 - Roach gets one more game. If he fails, go back to Hillenmeyer. 8 - Lloyd and Davis are starting WRs with Hester as the #3. Discuss. Peace

If we continue down this path, then Ron Rivera after next yr would be fine with me. Peace

He must be the Steve Howe of football. Peace

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,6113581.story Funny how, since he is having problems this yr, he mentions that he is just 1 of 11 on the field during returns. I don't remember him talking about this when he was wanting a contract extension. I bet his agent never said a word about making sure they take care of the other st players as well. Makes you go hmmmmm. Peace

Outstanding!!!!! Peace

Read my post above. He did that Monday morning on 780 (live interview every Monday on that channel). Peace

Tillman in the 1st Detroit game. Briggs also had one in the Indy game. Plus we have had 3 special teams TDs - 2 blocked punts and Bowman's recovery of a touched punt. Peace

Not sure but it is strange. Not one defensive player on the practice squad. Peace
