Gopt a bit scary when the game didn't show up on the Channels list. But watching the chats, they pointed out how to get it. It's great for us stuck in the boonies!

Agree on Harrison. He has made the team and he's going to be a good one. Idonije came to play. I am getting the feeling that the no. 1 D unit is just going through the motions. Lance and the rest are saving it for the real games. And I really don't get that, but the finished what, about 28th overall last season in D? I'd think that their pride is going to be on the line and hope that we get the Bear D back like it should be. Forget running now. We know already that Forte is the man. What we don't know is who will be handing him the ball. That's why, IMdO, they are passing so much in these learning games.

Here I can agree with you BearSox. Outside of Beekman having two false starts, i think he's earning his way into the guard spot. And The false starts are particularly tough to swallow 'cause he single that out as something he was NOT going to do. But hey, it's preseason and that's what these games are about, learning and moving on. And agree totaly on Olsen. He's going to make Davis look awfully good if he can't learn to block.

The Oline stunk and Rex had no chance at all to do anything. When Orton came in, the Hawks stopped brining the pressure and he had some time to get things done. So, BearSox, my question is, what would you have had Rex do? There was a defender in his face all night, and Kramer was saying it from the booth all night. The INT was, IMdO, from him getting hit as he threw the ball. For me, I don't think we learned much of anything last night about who is the best QB. What we learned is that with this Oline, it doesn't matter who is the QB.

What I want: NO INJURIES! The D to stuff them and not allow any 3rd down conversions. See Hester catch some balls, Bradley pick it up and Davis to keep developing. Rex or Orton take over the position. The Oline to look solid, St. Clair to continue to hold his own at LT and for Beekman to show that he can play. NO INJURIES!

CrackerDog, you just wrote that Nfo was RIGHT!!!!!

Yes, it is a dismal comment on the amount of info out there on the Bers when I turn to reading both your posts in this thread!

This is getting to be almost as bad as TerraTor's fake injury posts on the old site. Not high falluttin' stuff! But have fun, anyway!

We're fine at QB. Lt's just stick with three we've got, cause the OL isn't going to help ANY QB out. And Hanie can scramble, right?

Putting a positive spin on things before the season, eh CrackerDog?! I think humor could turn out to be the one saving virtue, given the Oline we've got, the QB race, etc.

And Hanie will be snapped up from the PS. And we'll be up the creek when both QBs go down with injuries. Man, whatever happened to looking ahead, being proactive. Lovie and JA are really on thin ice this season. I'd rather we IR'd Williams than put Hanie on the practice squad.

ÇWish I would have watched a bit more to see Hanie and Wolfe. But I agree on Beekman and Forte. I think Forte is the real deal. And if Babitch can't get it done with the guys we have on D then he should go coach high school. Its just preseason, so I'm gonna give hime the benefit. But not for long.

Yeah, the ads were pretty hokey, but I don't get ads from the U.S. here, so. . . . But thanks again Miami Bear. The site worked great!

Agree Connorbear. This could rally doom the O. If someone else goes down we may need to convert a DL to the OL. Man, how many of us screamed about the OL in the offseason and on draft day?

You gotta be right BearSox. Any back surgery is delicate and takes time to heal. Especially for a kid that's going to take a pounding every snap. Williams is not going to contribute, this year for sure. Ever? Makes me want to puke.

Didn't watch the 2nd half, by the way stoogetv.com worked! But sounds like this kid can be the 3rd QB. Now that we have that out of the way, let's fix the damn LT spot.

Me too TerraTor!

No, thank you for your time and effort Miami Bear. I've saved the link and I'll check it out for the first preseason game!

Now that is sobering!

Gotta be Brown. He is a decisive factor for our D. He keeps coming back from those injuries and he is such a smart, hard hitting player. Harris too, but if I gotta go with one, its Brown. Telling how most of the guys here are selecting players on D.

That made me go "hmm." And I agree with you Nfo. If we have Forts and now KJ and AP, Wolfe is an unnecessary luxury, taking up roster space from, say, an OT or OG. Now why aren't those positions overstocked?

So you were there, CrackerDog? You definitely got a picture of one of those asses! And man, gotta give Rex a break. Its practice, who needs that?

I hear ya, but I think Hass is going to suffer from the numbers game. He will be gone. Sad that we didn't get a chance to see what he could do.

The Trib is reporting that Nick Hill is gone. Now we have 3.

If its the short range passing attack, Orton has the edge, IMdO. Rex can clearly get the deep ball, but his pocket problems mean we would need time for that to develop. And the Oline doesn't inspire much confidence at this point.
