Are you referring to 2011 or 2012? From what I've seen their 2012 defense was horrible. I hope it was due to talent deficiency. Casserly was saying how badly they needed and impact defender earlier today. Anyway, I know absolutely nothing about him. Here's to his success!

I'm not an expert, but I say 2nd round from what I see on the field.

Hoke, Horton, Ryan or Singletary...

Tebow is a great guy, but the circus that follows him is not worth anything he brings to the table. Hell no...

Take the whole girlfriend saga out of play. What I saw from Te'o was a guy that benefitted from a dominant defensive line and MLB friendly defensive scheme. To me, he does not look like 1st round talent. Being productive in college is nothing like the pro's, especially when your talent is maxed out. Sometimes when a player, especially from ND, gets media hype, it's easy to get an elevated opinion of that player. Time will tell.

Babich had Alex Brown and a gimpy Tommie Harris. Marinelli had Julius Peppers. Nuf said...

Not surprised. He'll never be labeled an OL guru again.

I don't this on anything like it as piling on Lovie. It simply goes to show that coaches and players sometimes fail. Did it happen a lot under Lovie? Heck yes it did. Graham is playing well, so good for him.

I liked it most when he said, "we will dominate the line of scrimmage, on both sides of the ball". I know it's easier said than done, but it's really great to know THAT is the mission. I'm looking forward to see the plan for the OL.

You know I'm in.

Sorry, didn't know where to put this... Just saw Clayton on ESPN talking about Arians saying, Arians was set to bring in Ken Whisenhut to be our OC and Russ Grimm to be OL coach. I like what we have, but this would have been exciting as well.

No, I will not.

This is all weird to me. I can understand why a new coach would want his own guy, but from what I see Marinelli is wanted. Marinelli must be mentally done with the Bears after the firing of his friend. But for him to leave his team is bizarre for a few reasons. 1) We as a team have a chance to win. 2) Our D is good. 3) He is under contract and would figure to want to stay with his coaches and players. I'm sure there are things we do not know. From what I am hearing it just doesn't add up mentally. All said, if he wants to go, I'll take the Samurai for a spin.

No offence taken. In looking at it you are correct. To give closer proximity to the issue, I'll narrow it down to ESPN and NFL Network. The commentary and stories over the last 2 weeks was simply irritating. And the irony of the whole Lovie saga was irrisistable.

The entire week after Lovie got fired, the media shoved our 10-6 record up our keesters. Saying how bad it was to get rid of Lovie. Heck, even Da' Coach chimed in with his displeasure. Then, they ripped our incompetance in the form of Emery having 13 candidates for HC. Now, Emery strikes fast with his decision and we become 2nd page news to Chip Kelly to the Eagles. Listen to real NFL people say how great a move it was to hire Trestman. To finish my rant, where the heck is Lovie going to be HC? Eight openings and he's not a finalist for anything. F#%$ you media!

Id rather sign a LT and draft Jones to play G/C.

Love it!

I'm good with it. I've been hearing great things from respected people about him. Even though he's not my 1st choice, he's not a bad one. Looking forward to the presser.

What a hoser...

On Arians: Yes he took Rothlesberger, as a rookie to the be the SB champ. It's not like he was handed a veteren. Again, with Luck. Everyone knows the Colts were supposed to be ass. Yet, they came together with a new GM, new coaching staff, 36 new players and 6 starting rookies. Let alone the whole Pagano ordeal. Arians is long overdue for a shot.

Knew I was forgetting someone. Thanks

You give Angelo credit for players he did not draft. Drafted starters: Briggs, Tillman, Paea, Steltz, Wright and Conte.(maybe Wooten and SMC) Not drafted: Peppers, Jennings, Roach, Urlacher, Idonije, Toinae, Hayden, Hayes and Okoye all started this year. Problem is the disproportionate amount of picks he used on DL, S and CB vs the lack of picks he used on OL, WR and TE. JA was good at everything but drafting...

I'm wondering if Emery doen't keep Davis. He specifically mentioned Davis in his presser after firing Lovie. Scary huh?

Damn, wish Te'o could've stoned Lacey like that. Dude can run too...
