Well if you check out the packers website and read the article it doesn't indicate Capers running anything but a 3-4. like he did when he was DC in Pittsburgh and Jax and as HC in Carolina. Capers expertise is the 3-4 he's going to be running that D next yr. McCarthy says basically that in the article. I guess we will agree to disagree on Capers running anything but a 3-4. I guess you and McCarthy would also disagree. As McCarthy hired Capers to run a 3-4 next season and pretty much states just that.

Well when a guy has to transfer from Nebraska to Abilene Christian because he can't handle the academics. One doesn't need to be in a film room to see he struggles with knowing the BEARS D. I'm not the first person to question Mannings IQ. What makes Mike Brown such a good player is he's very smart and knows all the in's and out's of the BEARS D. Then that's not a surprise as Brown was an academic all american @ Nebraska.

If you go to the packers website you'll find McCarthy stating the packers will run the 3-4 next yr. So I see the packers using the 3-4 right away. Capers isn't going to be running a 4-3 for a few games and then the 3-4 from what I gather.

I liked D Manning and still do but the guy isn't very bright. In fact he's not bright enough to be an NFL safety or nickle back or dime back or cb. He's a special team guy who can return punts and kicks. He left Nebraka because he couldn't handle the academics. He's proven to me over the course of the last few years. That he's in over his head when it comes to understanding a NFL D. To expect more from Manning is not realistic. He hasn't grasp the D yet and he never will.

I wanted Suggs via the draft a few yrs ago. JA traded down for Haynes and Grossman. Suggs would be an excellent FA signing. He's a gamer.....

Did you know that since winning the super bowl. Gruden's winning percentage was less than .500 for ther bucs ? Dungy got the Bucs to the playoffs the year he got fired. Gruden is lucky he wasn't fired last yr. Jon Gruden's record @ TB 12-4 - super bowl win vs oakland 7-9 5-11 11-5 4-12 9-7 9-7 45-51 after winning the super bowl

That's funny and so true !!

I think Leinart has about as much of a chance of being traded as Cassell does. ZERO chance.....

If Peppers is tagged he'll be getting right at 14 million. His sack total was up from 07 but he was playing for a new contract in 08. Ogun had fewer sacks but more tackles than Peppers in 08. I wouldn't make Peppers the highest paid BEARS player and that's what it will take to sign him. JA won't even offer him a contract IMO. Marinell was brought in to up grade the current d-line. JA may draft a DE but he won't be signing Peppers.

So because Lovie Smith is one of Marinelli's best friends. Marinelli signed on with the BEARS. Damn that Lovie he only hires his buddy's as assistants. Oh by the way former BEAR Ron Rivera's good friend Steve Wilks (former BEARS DB coach) will sign on as the Chargers new DB coach next week.

The years have flown by as it only seems like 4-5 years ago he passed away. I just thank GOD Walter was one of our very own. I will always love him !

Sanchez had a fabulous Rose bowl game. At the same time he's been a starter for all of about one season. He'll be a first rd pick but I sure don't see him being a star NFL qb. Too much is often based on the last game played at the college level by a qb. I believe Sanchez might have a better career than Vince Young and JaMarcus Russell but I wouldn't bet on it !

I'll be dating Virgina McCaskey before the BEARS ever offer TO a contract. Just say no to TO. Special note: Antonio Bryant has had 2 occasions were he's gone over 1000 yds receiving including the 08 season. Berrian has never had 1000 yds receiving in a season.

Where have you heard this so called rumor ? Do you have a site ? The Pattys don't even know yet if Brady will need another operation and if Brady will even play in 09. So I see no validity to any rumor that they'd even consider trading Cassel at this point and time. I might add back on 1/4/09 ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that the Patriots have determined that they will use the franchise tag on Cassel. Time period for NFL teams to franchise players is from 2/5 thru 2/19.

Yea I'm sure Garcia could only play in a west coast offense and Gimp Leftwhich is so highly talented he can adjust to anything. Thank you Bill Walsh for your fabulous insight !!

Guess this means Herm Edwards won't be the DB coach after all.

Well that settles it BEARS should only sign players with your approval.

Yes two different qb's. One (Garcia) who's a proven NFL starter and another one who's been a backup since Jacksonville launched him . Garcia's qb rating this past season was over 94.

Just wanted to be the first to come up with this one !! Herm Edwards is out !!!

If someone was going to do an article on you and ask about your current boss and the boss you had at your old job. Which boss would you speak more highly of ??? Like Banjo boy I'd speak more favorably of my current one. You'd be stupid not to !! It's laughable that anyone would think other wise.

Marinelli was hired to be the asst head coach and d-line coach and 2nd highest paid coach on the BEARS next to Lovie. Let me know when Herm Edwards becomes the BEARS db coach. It simply aint going to happen.

I don't think for a second that he'd even beat out Orton but what the hell signing him won't kill us. I'd prefer brining in Jeff Garcia over the big gimp.

This just in....... Cassel still not tagged. Hope you understand........

Herm Edwards isn't about to go from being an NFL HC to a DB coach. Absolutely positively no way he becomes a DB asst coach for the BEARS. Besides last I heard he was still the chiefs HC.

Ya and I heard the Irish beat Hawaii !!
