Or AJ Pierzynski for the sox fans on board.
Thats what I was thinking too. Jared will get 2 years worth of snaps over 3 years. They will be smart with his time. There will be plenty of reps for all the DEs. Houston will play a lot of DT and everybody will be happy. I had to work 10 hours today so I am late to the party. I am willing to go out on a limb and say we are a top 10 in sacks this year. When they have our top rush line out then you leash a SMC on a rush and we start to kick ass. Our first pick in the draft will be a BPA type and Emery could go anywhere with that pick. I suspect it will be a S or CB, and maybe a DT. We still have needs everywhere but he will take the impact player we need and it could be anywhere. I personally would like to trade down in the 20's and keep the name Hageman on you mind because he is exactly the type of player he will draft if we move down.

I'll definitely keep that in mind! Right now I'm just taking some business classes online, then I've got a summer job lined up for late May, gonna use that money I make to take a 3 week truck driving course (Where the hell has Twig been?), save up money doing that and hope to open a little restaurant in a few years.....Somewhere along the way I should have the money to take a little trip out there.
What kind of restaurant ?
-
Well right now I'm taken some online classes so ya I'm around the laptop A LOT. Even when I'm doin other shit around the house I'll take the laptop with me.
Rugby starts up soon though so I'll be gone a lot....ya'll are gonna miss me
I have to say, your were right about the Band of Cutler, I thought no way we were doing that this year.
-
I can go with Walters mock, I put a twist on the RD4 pick and added the 6th round picks. I am also predicting we sign a TE soon Owen Daniels ?
1 HaHa Clinton-Dix FS Alabama
2 Ego Fergusan DT LSU
3 Anthony Johnson DT LSU
4 Taylor Hart DE Oregon
5 Chris Sims RB W Virginia
6 Walt Aikens CB Liberty
6 James Morris ILB Iowa
There are still a few names out there(TE) and I would not doubt that at all. Daniels,Keller,Scheffler. The more I think about it the more we have a few signings left instead of one big one with the extra money we got from The Bank of Cutler.

Atlanta will be disappointed with Hester as a WR. Let's roll the tape back a year where Hester was saying he just wanted to focus on one thing….returns. Now he says he wants to play some WR again. He only says he wants to play WR when there's a new contract involved. He was a good returner for us last year but he was not what he used to be. I think he'll have a good year returning kicks for Atlanta as well, maybe even grab a couple more TDs. I wish him the best unless it's against us.
As for him being faster and quicker on the turf in Atlanta….I'm pretty sure the coverage units will be faster and quicker too.
I think Hester did a good job last year, but he is not a 3 mil a year guy as some people purpose on here. The rule changes have made him ineffective on KRs anymore and on punts he makes to many fair catches and lets the ball drop to much. Just not the player he use to be and you have to ask u what thats worth. Obviously not much to us. Hope he does gets one more TD but he doesnt do it in bunches anymore, just not worth 3 mil.

I had what I thought was a pretty interesting thought while I was over at my buddies. He brought the topic of the hybrid D and the whole giving Ds different looks like that has been talked about all offseason.
I know the Bears have said they are keeping the 4-3, but I don't know if that completely rules out some 3-4 sub packages. Seattle is a 4-3 team but they also had some 3-4 packages. I wonder if the Bears might do some of the same.
I thought up of a scenario where the Bears draft a guy like Hageman or Tuitt to be the the 3T in 4-3 formations. That would then set up a possible 3-4 setup of Hageman-Ratliff-Houston as your 3 down lineman and they kick back Young to OLB and move Briggs inside to go with Young-Briggs-Bostic/Williams-SMC as your LBs.
I really think that unit could be pretty good at rushing the passer with Young and SMC rushing the passer from out wide in a stand up position.
Something to ponder.
What about a 5-2 with Houston moving inside and and Bostic or SMC moving to a hand on the ground in some rush packages.With the new coaches they got and versatile players, there going to show many different looks.
-
They might be able to grab Allen and Clemons.
Or they could grab on and a few vet mins.
lol some people gonna see my old post which is completely different from this post.
your on here 24-7 Im sure you have said almost anyting at one time or another, hard to keep track.
-
He might be worth the money he got. Depends on a few things. With the indoor turf of Atlanta versus Chicago outdoor grass theory I've heard he (Hester) could become "faster" and elusive. He could put Atl offense in pretty good field position in order for Matt Ryan and the O to operate. If Atlanta and their O is able to make that next step past the early rounds of the playoffs and because they were able to get production out of Hester "only" as a return man, then $3 million was worth it.
For Atlanta that is... Not for Chicago. They needed too much elsewhere and couldn't afford that much of a luxury.
Your dreaming on that thought.
-
This is the Bennett Bros recruiting ordeal all over again lol.
Hey its something to talk about, life is boring right now
-
Thank you for the update!
I think we all would like to see your cousin back in Chicago! If only just to get her in a good city!
with the Bears getting more cap space open, it aint for Mark Sanchez.
-
The Bears already have restructured Jays contract. Converting 5 million to bonus last Friday. Wonder who we anticipate on signing?
Its Allen or Cris Cleamons
-
True about McCown. And we won't consider Sanchez. We want a guy like McCown. He was humble, understood his role, and happy to work his ass off to remain in the league.
Sanchez still wants to be a #1. Which means we don't want Sanchez and he doesn't want us. We are talking about Sanchez because some reporter identified that we lost our #2 and may need a replacement.
Im sure almost any QB in league always thinks he should be a #1 until the reality hits that their not as good as they think they are. One reason they brought up Sanchez and us is Matt Cavaugh(spelled that wrong) was his QB coach from 2007 until 2011. A connection.
-
I'll trust Trestman's decisions on offense over you. I agree he's going to be held accountable for the decline in defense and special teams if he doesn't right the ship.
Trestman saw no value in Hester playing offense and obviously felt his skills at special teams have declined enough to move on special teams.
Peace
I agree, he is not the player he use to be. The key to this discussion is how well who they replace him with.If he does well the conversation will be over with, if he is not very good, we will here from Jason all season.

Donald and Quarles are both 3 T type tackles. I suspect they would go with a bigger DT with the second choice.
-
He's actually contemplating retirement. Still on a 1 year deal with Dallas, haven't read about them releasing him, just retirement talks.
Grossman, David Garrard, Kevin Kolb, Colt McCoy, Matt Flynn, and Josh Freeman are all intriguing options.
Then there's of course McCown who's still out there.
We need to remember Josh McCown wasnt anything special until last year, so the system and Trestman had something to do with it. We can find another one to take his place.
-
That's his APY (Average per year) not the cap hit.
http://overthecap.com/cap.php?Name=Julius%...mp;Team=Packers
First year cap hit is 3.5 then it goes up to 12, then 10. But the pack can release him next year and they'll only owe him 5M in dead money. With all the money the Bears have next year I'd do that type of deal for Allen. If he starts to show his old age then 5m in dead money won't cripple them that much at all.
thanks looked at the wrong numbers.
-
NFL trade rumors has him ranked as the 15th best FA...of all the players left.
Ihedigbo strong PFF rank was all from his run defense grade, which was really good. He was worse in coverage than Mundy, who also got less PT to improve his overall grade.
I really think pairing the 2 (Mundy and Ihedigbo) would be a mistake. I think we need to pair Mundy (or perhaps Ihedigbo, if the rumor carries some weight) with a safety who's good in coverage.....Esp. if we run a lot of zone coverage which is pretty much a lock.
If the players are that close in ability probably wouldnt be a good signing, although maybe he is better than Mundy.
-
Oops, double post.
I guess I'll throw out there that that a 2/20 deal wouldn't necessarily mean 10 mill in cap space. If it's like the 3/30 deal Pep got his cap hit is only 3.5 this year.
Not sure where you got your information but Over the Cap listed his hit as 8.6 and change.
-
I kinda doubt we're in on Ihedigbo, might chart that one up as a myth. He and Mundy are virtually the same player, strong run defenders who struggle in pass defense.
And FWIW, Matt Miller has him ranked 69th of 75 safeties, Mundy's ranked 26th. (MD Jennings ranked 57th)
I suppose he could be depth/competition for Ryan though.
I like Matt Miller but seen where last year PFF had him rated as the 16th best safety. Forgot who but someone had him rated as the 15th best FA this year.I think , if we sign him he would start along side Mundy. Although I agree he seems more of a SS, but need to check him out more.
-
Two starting safeties and two rotational DT. Dont know anything about Carey but will check it out. Im all in.
Just seen a report on Bleacher report that James Ihedigbo/S is deciding between us and Detroit as to who to sign with.
-
And a significant one. Allen's asking for 10 million per. At a minimum he'd get Peppers money, 2 years for 18 million with 8+ guaranteed.
If he goes to Seattle he wont be getting that kind of money. More like 2 year 13 mil.
-
I really think we'll only draft a FS, at least fairly high. I think SS is Ryan Mundys job to lose and I'm cool with that, think he'll be solid there. They might take a guy in the later rounds to compete with him but I'd be a little surprised if we took 2 safeties before round 5.
As far as FS goes, I agree with you on the line about not wanting to take 1 in the first. If what Phil said about Conte competing for his job is true then I don't expect them to take a 1R safety. I really like Brooks and Reynolds in the 2R, one of those guys should no doubt be there. I also wonder if the Bears might take a guy like McGill in the 2nd and convert him back into a FS.
Another thing I kinda wonder about is if the Bears are really in on Allen, if they miss out on him do they turn their attention to Clemons? It's still kinda surprises me that he's still out there.
They got Mundy with the intent of him starting, but at a low salary for two years they would allow a SS to develop as a later pick. If we get Clemons he is a above average safety and doubt if we go safety in the first two rounds. More like a CB and DT.
-
Good point and noted...the NFL should never the home of pussies...cry on Brady.
Star QB, hot women, good teammate. Let him cry, Im envious.

I need some feedback from our resident draft gurus. I did a bit of research on safeties in the draft and was surprised to see what appears to be a very thin group this year in terms of talent. I favor the draft analysis at the links below because their player profiles seem to be very accurate when guys get to the next level. If these guys are right, there are a couple prospects at the top and then the drop off is very rapid to day 3. There just doesn't seem to be a lot to choose from between Rd 2/3. This does not seem to be the right year to be going into a draft needing help at both safety positions. Maybe that's why we threw so many bodies at the SS position.
What do our draft experts think about safety talent this year especially in the mid-rounds? Give me some hope because I really don't like the idea of drafting a safety in Rd 1 unless he's an elite talent. None of these guys is an elite talent this year.

What I dont understand is there listings. Jimmie Ward had 7 int and 10 pass breakups yet they list him in the box type of safety. To me that is a center fielder type(FS).
There are 4 safetys that will start as rookies. HaHa-Pryor-Ward-Bucannon. I wouldnt mind any of them but the more I read about them the more I like Pryor and Ward a little better.
Another sleeper to throw out there is Huff/Wyo he was productive and has some speed.4.38 speed 127 t-2 int-9 PBU.He is listed as a FS ad CB on different sites. Possibly could play either.See him as a 4th or 5th round pick. 6' 195 lbs.Seems more of SS to me, a tackle machine and has some pass defense skills.
Are we moving Houston inside to stay??

There is no way our first round pick is a depth player. We now have a luxury of drafting an impact player with our first pick. If he has his shit together Emery will draft a good if not great player that will contribute his first year and become a blue chip player in the next couple of years.
