I think you are correct.

 

Also, is trading Jay and Marshall a possibility? 2 picks from the Raiders? 1&2? With Alston And a draft. I'll put the drink down now.

 

The

Trading is not possible. The bonus money is guaranteed from the team that gave the contract.

There are rumors that Harbaugh may leave the Niners at the end of the season and at this point I would consider anyone who can get our beloved franchise back on track. I like coaches that played in the nfl and have passion for the game and hat losing.

There is something about coaches that have fire. The quite smart type just haven't got it done in Chicago. If Harbaugh gets fired, you have to consider it. Jauron, Smith, and now Trestman have that quite approach. It's worth consideration.

Wish in one hand and shit in the other. See which one fills up first.

 

Don't expect any miraculous turnarounds from Cutler or the offensive wizard who called 2 run plays to Matt Forte in the 1st half. Like the Trib said, he's losing this team.

He audibled out of at least two other run plays in the first also. Time to take away the audible.

You think so? The only week he'll look good in the coming weeks is week 9.

Not really, just say'n. Only because that is how this has played out. He was called out by Marshall, so maybe they light it up next week.

The dink and doink is getting old real fast. I don't know if it was the Miami secondary, which is damn good, that shut down the deep ball and forcing Jay to stay with underneath stuff or the play calling. All I know is when you have the horses we have they should consistently be taking shots down field and also utilizing the WRs size. We haven't seen very many jump balls this season and just letting our WRs go up and win those battles.

The Bears need to run the ball. Cutler can't be changing the plays to start the game off. Establish a run, short passes, and then take your shots. Forte is a top RB in this league and to be greedy by passing has alway burnt the Bears. Limit Cutler on his plays is what needs to happen.

Nor is he learning much under Trestman. About those Midols?

Ha! Next week Cutler will look great and it goes back and forth.

Trestman is losing this team. He's needs to go if this doesn't change course soon.

 

Peace

As I said Lovie was tied to Urlacher, Trestman is tied to Cutler. Nothing will change because Cutler is not going anywhere with his contract. Best we can do is put pieces in place to draft a QB two drafts for now.

And yep again. Cutler can be good, but he is never getting us to the Super Bowl. Where is Jim McMahon?!

Unfortunately, we have to play out his 3 yrs. This team is bad.

He can give the Bears the finger if he likes, and Bears fan will give him one too.

 

This is the same guy who crashed his Lambo, obviously drunk, ran home and reported it missing and the somehow didn't get charged?

 

Can you say pay off?

I believe he was ticketed/charged for leaving the scene. Saying he was drunk is skeptical. Being young and destroying an expensive toy and then wanting it to be replaced by insurance could be his reason for running. Regardless, there has been worse and he's been good since.

 

Equally as bad: Draft one had Angelo's scouting department. Draft 2 is where Emery had implemented his changes.

So true. Draft one had a blueprint of the previous regime and I swore Angelo made that Hardin pick. I think one more solid draft will elevate the defense if we don't swing and miss on S. After that, we can target upgrades/playmakers. CB, LB, DT will need more depth too.

There has been a lot of chatter about Emery's first draft class and rightly so with only Jeffrey panning out so far. Since then he put together the front office the way he wanted it and at this point here is the result from the last two drafts:

 

http://www.csnchicago.com/bears/wins-still...ears-foundation

"On the other hand, all eight 2014 draft choices are among the 11 rookies placed on the 53-man roster. And all six of the 2013 selections were and still are on the roster."

 

Re-draft challenge

Today I went through the first 4 rounds, picked 30 players within those rounds including the guys we drafted and compared how they are doing. I would not change our draft at all. Guys that are performing Mosley, Donald, Barr, and maybe Pryor. Im mainly comparing players we wanted too. Other than those 3 our first 4 rounds Fuller, Ferguson, Sutton, Carey, and Vereen are doing as much or more than any of us imagined. Sure, Carey/Vereen not as much, but for fourth rounders in year one is great to see the field. Check out the draft, check out 6 weeks of stats, am I wrong?

 

This effort by the scouting and front office is something few NFL teams experience. Lets hope they continue spoiling us and I think they will get some respect and patience with there next "who/what" pick.

Glad he is back too. This guy needs to produce because it sickens me to see how well Chandler Jones has been doing for NE (21 career sacks) and to think we had a choice. Regardless, he has made more progress at LB and hopefully it continues.

 

 

 

 

 

Has he ever played football? American football?

 

Never has. He is supposedly the highest paid rugby player and is leaving that pay dirt to pursue a career in the NFL. He has size and speed, 6-2 220 and his 40 time was 4.33 coming out of college. Worst case, he is a practice squad player, Middle case-Special teams contributor, Best case- RB (not a hard transition IMO)

 

He has motivation to be great to go along with his athletic size and ability.

 

 

Just for SCS

 

Since there is no answer I've seen yet for a kick off returner, how about bringing this guy in for a look.

 

Jarryd Hayne 26 years old is a speedster rugby player. 6-2" 220

 

He would be best suited to play special teams if anywhere to start off.

Yes, I'm optimistic about the future of this team. We are finally seeing signs of real depth all over the roster from DL (Ratliff missed 3 games, Allen missed 1), LB (top 4 out today), Oline (Bushrod out today, Garza, Slausson earlier). Secondary with Fuller filling in for Tillman with no drop off. We still need to add depth at WR, S, and some more speed at DE.

 

The Bears biggest need coming into the offseason will be 1.) Safety, 2.) CB, and 3.) DT. I am liking the way Paea has played this season, so it would be nice to re-sign him. There is also a slight need for another TE, possibly a #3 RB, and depth at WR. DE is only a need if they plan on releasing Allen.

 

 

Yeah those stupid runs at the end kept getting negative yards, why did he keep kneeling like that, lol.

That almost INT almost cost us... Plus they never showed him looking at the ipad either.

Bostic, Greene, and Jones would be one of the fastest and hard hitting groups in the league, especially on turf.

This would be a good test, these 3 were good college LBs and it's time to see if they can play in the NFL. I would like to know if we can go into the next two years with these guys or have to draft one high or over pay one in FA. Does Jackson run over them or do we make it a passing game only?

Eh, I highly doubt that's the reasoning.

 

This.... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000040...-me-out-4-weeks ....Probably has a lot more to do with it.

 

That would be a huge issue. Glad he is battling through it. Maybe sitting a game would help, but it's not in his nature with every game as important as they seem.

The whole domestic abuse thing crossed my mind as well. I'm hoping it's more injury than a "Relapse" so to speak. Or perhaps it was just the double teams he and Jeffery saw last week that resulted in him having a down day.

Many experts warned that Marshall will have a down year due to the traveling for his NFL spot in NY. I didn't buy it, and I'm not an expert....

Since I watch a fair share of Nebraska football I did see some performances of Suh while in college and don't recall his " dirty play" being as much an issue as it is/was with Detroit. Something tells me with Schwartz gone that could be more a thing of the past.

I've seen a Suh interview or two this year after a game. He is putting himself out there after games to talk and he has sounded respectable. I think he realizes his contract Is about up and needs to re-image himself in order to get a max deal.

Sounds like a great idea...one random Bears fan who will wear #12 gets to return one kickoff per game. Game check goes to charity of choice. DeCamillis gets promoted to 12th man return coach in this new promotion.

Cutler is not going anywhere. It is not possible for 3 years. Cutler would have to agree to tear up his contract to be traded also. They cut him, it costs the 50 million? Not happening.

I think the two key players needed are a true fast pass rush DE and a Safety. Bostic improves each week, still some ups and downs, and I see no reason that won't continue. SMC was doing alright before the injury and he'll be back and should continue to improve as well. I like Christian Jones in there with them for the future and Greene has done some good things as well. For now I think we need to be patient and allow the young players to learn and evaluate where we are at the end of the season.

 

At DE Allen is clearly slowing down but will be effective for us this year and next but we need someone to groom into that role.

I like our youth in McClellin, Bostic, Greene, and Jones. They are growing, but if a clear cut blue chip falls, I am ok with an upgrade. Our roster really don't have room for another, but if we can draft a probowl prospect at the mike you do it imo.

Looking at our roster depth, I see additions at S, DT, and CB. Those three are thin with long term depth.

What is crazy is that we really are about 2 defensive players from being really good again (a Safety and LB). We waited one year too long on Briggs. He looks old, slow, and fat.

If we can get even one via Free Agency and then draft high again on Defense, we should be able tosee a big jump on that side of the ball (which is sorely needed).

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.

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.
