I would love to see him in a Bears Uniform, if for the right price. I would give up a 2nd and maybe even another conditional pick depending on how he performs. I also don't see this happening though as I don't see us making a big splash in FA. A couple of guys here and there maybe but no significant signing like a Gross or Boldin or Peppers or who ever else we have been discussing for a while now.

I agree that in the 1st round we need either WR or OLine.

My best friend is a Raiders fan and he believes that they won't be good until Davis either dies or sells the team. He says that the game has passed him by. I am just wondering how much Asomgha(sp?) is going to cost since he is "light years" better than Hall and he got 7 yrs for $70 mill.

No Hall is not worth that kind of money. Asomugha is worth that.

Good for Hall, he gets big contract but there is no way in Hell that he is worth that kind of contract.

My bestfriend is a huge Raiders fan and loves this guy. I have seen enough games to know that he is a shut down corner because he doesn't all the WR that he is defending do much at all. He doesn't get all the picks like you guys would want.

Or even Alphonso Smith from Wake Forest. He is undersized at 5'8" but had 13 passes broken up and 6 picks this past year. Could be a great pick. This picks I am thinking of in the 2nd to 3rd round if they slip. Not with the 18th pick overall.

I would like to see us go after Victor Harris, CB from VT. He is big for a corner and they say he will work best in the Tampa 2. His main weakness is speed. http://www.walterfootball.com/draft2009CB.php

lol, I will attempt to

I am closing in on 30. lol

No kidding, I liked Sinatra and this is coming from a person who is so young that Sinatra retired almost 10 years before I was born lol.

If you have Sinatra going on you must be older than pix. lmao. I might here about this comment tomorrow. I guarantee it.

How much would we save by giving him the pink slip I guess is a question. I would love to get a Malcolm Jenkins but he will be gone.

Great post, that was funny.

Lets hope so.

You know my aw to well Pix, what can I say.

You haven't but yet several people have said that they want him here because they think he would be great for us.

What I am afraid is that JA/LS will do nothing to address the Oline in the draft. We need younger guys and would prefer to get one in the draft and let him sit behind Gross and learn. Yes I would love to see Gross sign with us but don't see it happening.

I agree with pix here. I first read the article and liked what I read to begin with. Honestly I have no problem taking a late flyer on him if we don't have any other needs. The problem that I am having is that it does appear that he will need some work in order to succeed in the NFL and I don't think our coaching staff would be the best fit for him. I do like the fact of having a big guy that is great in run blocking.

either way I don't see him comign to town.

Boldin is probably gone and so what if James leaves. But Warner? Forget it, he isn't going anywhere at all. They still don't know what they have in Leinhart. They would be retarded to let him go. Warner is only good if the Oline can protect him and give him time to throw, so forget about him coming to Chicago and lighting things up. He would return to his old ways of turning the ball over all the time if he came over.

I see exactly where you are coming from. I can't say that I completely agree but I do at least understand. The fact that we are starting to see more and more teams converting to a 3-4 defense and our coaches have shown to this point the inability to make changes during a game specifically come back from half time. Now some of the teams that are moving to a 3-4 suck. 49ers and Lions. The Lions haven't been competitive for years and are probably at least 3-4 years away still. The 49ers are getting better but I am not sure they have the personnel to run it yet. Just like the Puckers don't have the personnel to run it yet either. I think that a FA QB who loves to throw down field could actually entice one to come over because of Hester. He as shown the ability to get past any defender and provided the QB could hit him with some accuracy that could open the holes even more for Forte. Now I do agree that our Oline has to play better. They played extremely well this past season considering what we all thought. They still weren't all that good but alot better than what we anticipated. Williams is young and hopefully good and Beekman is showing the ability to play as well. Maybe the coaches were right to bench him for his entire rookie year were right so he could learn. However Tait, and Kruetz and St. Clair kinda bother me. I know this is a lot of rambling but hopefully I didn't confuse anyone.

I am actually thinking something like 11-5 with us splitting with the Vikes and losing to the Cards, falcons, steelers and Ravens. We do have somewhat of a tough schedule, but shall see how they schedule everything.

I see what you are saying and I am kinda wondering the same thing. I am on board with Turner on this one although I don't know about Orton being a "great player." I think with good weapons though he can be a very solid to very good QB leader. He showed some leadership this past year especially in the 4th quarter when he finally came alive. Hester IMO is starting to settle into the WR role and actually put up good number this past year. We finally have a multi threat RB in Forte as he can catch and run very well. I also think that we have the best TE group in the NFL. Everything IMO comes down to the depth at WR and OL. The OL played extremely well last year considering how bad we all thought it would be. I like Beekman and Williams but need to see more. And don't get me started at WR. I would rather see Hass out there.

No NFO we wouldn't expect anything else from you at all. It would kinda suck to be Marinelli though if we go 0-16. I think I would just quit football all together if that were to happen.
