The PFF guy on soxtalk just posted that Bostic had the best pass defense rating of any MLB in the NFL....."Best since vintage Urlacher"
When playing cover 2 that's a real important thing you need in an MLB.
The only way he sees MLB again is by injuries. He will move outside this year and next year be slotted in Briggs place when he is gone. To be rated that high on pass defense rating and be that bad in run defense, that shows you how statistics can cloud how good someone is , he is a long way away.

I really don't get why signing Allen all of a sudden makes us able to go BPA? Nothing has changed at DT/FS. Maybe if we signed Clemons instead of Allen that could be something you could say, but signing another DE didn't change anything from Tuesday till now.
The way I see it is 2 days ago we possibly needed to draft a DE in the 3/4 round (IMO), and today we don't. DT is still a huge need that you can't ignore to take a BPA.
Right now, for me, it's Donald/HaHa or trade down. If they can't trade down then I might think about an OT or CB (I changed my tune on Ebron just because he can't block, we don't need a WR, I want an inline guy).
I think Emery will see it that way, Im all in on Donald or one of the safeties. Our line is Houston-Ratliff-Paea-Allen with Idonije,Young. Collins,and the rest of the DEs we have. Houston will see snaps inside as well as Idonije. I am stating BPA with the first round pick. If we pass on Donald, I think we may have a idea to pick Quarles,Jones,Johnson,Hageman,Ferguson, Bromley,and Reid at a latter round. Safeties after the first round will be possibly Ward,Bucannon,Bailey,Brooks, and Exum. I think if he decides that there is a stud there any position other than QB and RB, he could possibly take him.
OT-If one of the top 3 drop he would have to consider taking one. Mills was considered as performed well for a 5th round pick, but the truth is he was very good.
WR-After thinking about if more the only way we would take one in the first round is if Watkins dropped and that is highly unlikely.
TE-If Emery thinks Ebron is the second coming of J. Graham, I totally think he could take him.
DE-I dont see anyway we go that direction unless Clownery drops.
DT-As I stated I think the top 2 are still in play, but there is also 2nd and 3rd day options.
LB- Briggs is in his last year,Williams is a one and done. We are grooming Bostic to take Lances place, so the middle is still a big need.
CB-Everybody is old.
S- Stongly believe this is the leader in our first option but there is options in the first and second rounds.

With Allen coming here we are now in play for drafting BPA. That could be many different positions to go for.
Donald and Jerrigan are still in play. We have a 32 year old Ratliff as our best DT, enough said.
Gilbert comes in to play. He brings a KR/PR skill that we have no totally addressed yet. Plus he is the highest rated CB.
CJMosley will also be considered. With a one and done Williams our main squeeze at MLB dont discount the potential to take this player.
Offensive player? If he dubs an Ebron/TE or a Cooks/WR as the best player available at our spot,l think he could surprise us with a pick here.
I think we still have many spots to fill, FS,DT,CB, LB he could move down and get more picks.
If we move down I think players like Hageman/DT-Fuller/CB-Ward/FS-Pryor/FS all could come into play.
-
I don't see that given that we have the record setting PR/KR from the CFL on our roster. Before we jump up and down saying that's the CFL, how will that be different or worse than drafting a KR/PR? I wouldn't mind having someone like Gilbert as an option on some returns.

I think Gilbert is in play to be our first pick. If we dont draft him we will be drafting a RB/WR that will one of our later picks. We have Hixon also on the roster so we are not void at that position.
-
I'm not saying he won't contribute, I'm just saying he won't be an immediate starter/impact player. Aside from safety, name one starting position on this roster that is up for grabs? Maybe DT, but Tommie Harris as a rookie didn't start until mid-season and we have Collins, Paea, Ratliff, and Houston moving inside. Upsets can happen, but it's not easy to unseat the veteran incumbents.
The cool part about signing Allen is that we now have enough depth on the d-line, that our #1 pick doesn't have to be an immediate starter.
If we draft a S with our first pick, I think I can guarantee he will be starting in his first year. If we grab Gilbert, he could be starting at slot CB spot. If we grab Donald would absolutely be in the rotation.

There was similar angst for that HOF MLB...and rightfully so considering how much he was missed.
Urlacher would not have made a difference in our pitiful defense last year. I would suspect he wouldnt have played a full season. He was rated as one of the worst MLBs for shedding blocks in the league and with that shitty line we would be all talking about how he doesnt have it anymore. The dude couldnt run. Nobody in the league found valve in the great Urlacher. He was my favorite player in his prime but his days has passed several years ago. The only thing he would have brought was some leadership that would have helped the rookies learn faster but that is it.

My cousin is a Vikings fan and he had this to say...
"Allen is an above average pass rusher who has made his money as a bum killer. He'll get 8 sacks in 3 games over the course of the season and 4 or 5 in the other 13"
That tells me they should line him up against RTs and let him feast against the lesser tackles of the league.
If I dont recall, that would lead our team in sacks any year he was in the league.
-
Honestly, until this Jared Allen signing I've been noticing my Bears interest waning a little more than just the average offseason lull. The bloom is off the rose a bit with Emery, I wasn't seeing much good in our D's future, and I was starting to feel the old 'been-there-before' with respect to exciting new opportunities mixed with head scratcher decisions that ultimately just result in...average. Hard Knocks would guarantee my fandom back in top gear.
Hard knocks is to much of a distraction, Im hoping we dont get to the show. We have work to do and that show will derail our work.
-
Immediately the best in the league? That's flat out crazy talk. Greg Olsen was getting similar attention going into the drafts and mocks had him going as high as number 8. He fell to the Bears at #31.
As for D-line and safety, the Bears have more draft picks to address that need if they desire. At this point I think we'd be drafting a guy who can challenge or be depth. Not necessarily a starter.
On a side note, this is how bad the Bears defense was/is: who is the best player on the Bears defense right now?
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.
-
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.

If they traded down, I dont see any extra picks and we have two 6th round picks this year. I also would have no problem if we ended up getting C.J. Mosely. I think he will be a stud.
