I saw what you did there... <_>
You're right, I'd prefer Jay not get hurt. I am curious why Leno isn't being considered but what you say makes sense. Ola having game time experience does sound better than bringing in a raw guy.
I'm not so sure the Bushrod injury is as sinister as some are making it . I saw his interview and he didn't look like he was lying about what happened, probably just doesn't want to reveal the extent of the injury. He's walking limp free, boot free so it can't be too bad.
*edit: read an article and saw that he is wearing a boot but no surgery . Sounds like he was " rolled up" on by someone. He's relieved it wasn't anything "crazy" (meaning extensive injury) but probably scared him a little when it happened. Again , probably doesn't want to speak on how extensive right now.
Just a little brotherly luv punch!
If Slaussens ankle don't hold up, I wonder which way they go?
I need to get used to Trestmans way of disclosing injuries. He seems to change words after being briefed.

When will we find an identity? Maybe it is what the media gives us, but it seems we don't have a leader on that side that rallys the troops. When the defense takes the field, we should be on the edge of our seats. We should see LBs mug the line, question the O with alignment movement, and consistant attacks from different personnel. Besides Fuller and Young, who else has shined? Maybe Kyle Fuller develops into that leader vocally and performance, but I would like to see a MLB or S since they are usually calling the alignments and blitzes. The way our roster is composed contract wise, the Bears really shouldn't draft a high LB unless one can be all that. Four guys to keep an eye on are Perryman from Miami, Kendricks UCLA, McKinney Miss St. , and AJ Johnson Tenn. Perryman and Kendricks stand 6 foot with 4.7 speed and Johnson 6-2 McKinney 6-5 are a little quicker. Measurables are a plus, but I want a type A leadership like Ray Lewis provided in Baltimore. Same thing from the S position, draft a leader that can keep the DBs in line and hold accountability. Prewitt Ole Miss, Drummon Mich St, or Smith Fresno St. are on my early list. For the time being, here's to hoping Briggs and Allen find it in themselves to be mad they are below mediocre.

Why not Leno I wonder?
'Damn' on Bus. od getting hurt!
I would say Ola's experience has him up to game speed after starting 3 games. Leno is promising, but more raw and unless you want the QB hurt......wait a second...just kidding. Hopefully Bushrods secretive injury is not long term. The whole thing seems fishy, like he tripped over the coffe table or something.

In regards to INTs, some are on the QB and some the WR. The one to Marshall was obviously a miscommunication on a timed route. Who's fault that was? I'd blame the WR. You will see those from time to time. In the NFL, you have to throw anticipated routes especially when playing man instead of zone.
Right now, some of the best Brees/Brady look average or even horrendous in there last prime time games. If football was easy and perfect as we want, would it really be fun to watch? We watch because its a roller coaster ride with bumps and turns. Hoping that it was put together with an awesome ending and not falling off the track.

They just need cameras at the goal line high up on the stadiums where they look down and are not blocked at ground level. I don't know if we ever want to get to sensors and RFID tags.
I recently heard the players are wearing RFID tags which show speed and position for coaching purposes. It would be interesting to see results during parts of the game as in speed acceleration on a player breaking away on a TD.

Last season, Trestman was an unknown, Jeffery was an unknown, Bennett was a chance after one decent year in NY, Cutler ran through how many systems, Oline was an unknown....
McCown came into this as an unknown and took the reins late in the season and he did good. He didn't win games for us though. If he came in and won 3 of 4, different story.
To compare them now isn't fair and pointless. To play woulda shoulda coulda is fantasy. To see the Bears lose and the topic comes up again, it is what it is.
It sure seemed once a cheap shot on Jay happened, the team bonded like big brothers and wanted revenge.

Your answer is yes....
Chicago Bears @ChicagoBears 2h #Bears have signed TE Blake Annen, CB Jordan Sullen & WR Chris Williams to practice squad; still have 1 spot open on active roster.
Annen sounds like the next Fendi type project...

Can't find much worth noting on Sullen.
I wonder if this is the new NFL? Shuffling the bottom 5-10 players up and down to the practice squad. Has this been normal in the past?

Defensive identity
in Bearstalk
Free agency is always an option. I would prefer to avoid that route, but take it if it gets us over that hump then have at it. In time if Emery does his job right, we should start earning compensatory picks. That is a true sign of a team that gets it from ownership down to waterboys. Its too bad Jerry Angelo left this team bankrupt. We have lots of promise, but not enough to reckon with yet. A homerun next draft at one of those key posistions could be it and more creativity from a DC that has been up and down year two.
