Martz: 70-80 catches for Roy Williams
My guess is he ends up with 50-60. Martz's offense doesn't really single out any one person as a WR, he spreads the wealth all over and Roy isn't as good as he was with Detroit. I still think that his signing will help us though. Especially in the redzone.

Moss Retiring
Randy Moss is without a doubt my favorite WR of all time. Of course, I was a little too young to see Jerry Rice play in his hay day but Moss was one of the most uniquely talented athletes you will ever see at his position. His ability to out jump a defensive back and come down with the ball was uncanny. The play that always sticks out to me was the one where he tipped the ball to himself and came down with it in the endzone. And his signature move of course is where he throws his hand up in the air as he runs by his defender with ease. More times than not, that spelled doom for opposing corner backs when they saw that hand go up. I used to go outside and practice Randy Moss catches when I was a younger kid. It was called "The Amazing Catch" game that me and my friends played where you had to catch the ball with one hand or win a jump ball while it was in the air. I could care less how he was as a person. Everybody is different. All I know is the guy could play and is a surefire Hall of Famer.

Lofa Tatupu
Yeah I was going to say. He's a MLB.

Kreutz leaving?
I'm not sure. Im still trying to find out about it. Supposedly it was on the Bears board earlier but I couldn't find which threat it was in. All I heard was what I said. Urlacher I guess wasn't very happy with Angelo about not resigning Kreutz, Lovie was involved in a discussion with him as well and it apparently wasn't the most friendly of conversations.
-
Thank you Olin
Even though his play dramatically slipped over the last few years, I can't believe Angelo didn't resign him. His importance to the team goes beyond his play at center. He was the unquestioned leader of the team on the field and in the locker room. He will be missed.

Kreutz leaving?
Has anybody heard anything about Urlacher and Lovie having a heated discussion with Angelo today about Kreutz?

Marion Barber signs with Bears
This is actually awesome! Totally unexpected. I love this move. We need a guy that can get in there and bruise it up a bit.

Namdi To Eagles
Which is my point. He gets to save his body by virtue of not getting the ball thrown his way alot. I don't see why he couldn't keep doing this into his mid 30's.
-
Namdi To Eagles
mmmm not quite. He's never really been a guy that's been known for his tackling ability. He only registered 17 tackles last season and 34 the year before. So he's not always mixing it up as much as a Charles Woodson would be. He saves his body well though. Nnamdi is a guy that can completely shut down whatever side of the field he's on because of his coverage ability to not only stay with his man but recover when the ball is in the air. If you look at his interception numbers, you would think he's just your average Joe, but then look at the numbers the opposing receivers put up, or lack there of, and you'll see why his interceptions are down.
-
Namdi To Eagles
Charles Woodson is 34 and still going strong. I don't see any reason why he can't keep playing at a high level. Especially considering his style of play. I guess only time will tell.
-
Center?
As much as I think Kreutz was done as a valuable center a few years ago, we probably need to just get him resigned for this year. I don't see what our backup plan is and without him, we literally have nobody that can play center. I'd bring him back mainly because we would be missing his leadership qualities in the locker room and on the field.

Coach Smith
We will continue to evaluate all of our players each and every day and we'll go from there..

Bears sign Gholston
This guy makes Clay Mathews arms look like pencils. I like the signing. It can't hurt. If he doesn't produce then you can be done with him. Although I do believe that RM can turn him around. He's better suited as a 4-3 DL anyways. That's what he played in college.
-
Namdi To Eagles
He made more money last year. Quite frankly, I'm shocked. Again, I don't understand why the Bears didn't even contact this guy. Our secondary is weak as crap and we could have used someone that can shut his man down. Especially playing in a division that has two great receivers in Calvin Johnson and Greg Jennings.. Meanwhile, now that the Eagles get Nmadi and they just received Rodgers-Cromartie in the Kolb trade, it doesn't seem like they have much need for Asante Samuels anymore. Not to mention he's an excellent zone coverage corner. He'd be a great fit.
-
Roy Williams a Bear!
Good signing! I would rather have Braylon I think but I figured Roy would be our guy knowing Martz coached him before. I've also heard that the Bears are still interested in Mike Sims Walker even with this agreement. Stay tuned.
-
Steve Smith NYG
Yeah he's not that big-- only 5'11. Kind of reminds me of Earl Bennett. Has good hands, can make catches in traffic and has shown the ability to be a possession receiver after catching 107 passes a couple of years ago. I still think we need a more physical WR, someone taller. Given that Olsen is now gone I would like to think the Bears have their eyes on getting that WR to fill some of Olsen's pass catching void. I like Braylon Edwards if I had to choose between him or Roy Williams but my guess is we end up with Williams.
-
Olsen traded to Carolina Panthers
Pretty bad considering Olsen was a 1st round pick himself and we only got a 3rd..
-
Olsen traded to Carolina Panthers
And I'm sick and tired of letting our genius offensive coordinator dictate every thing when it comes to player personnel on offense. How do you not find room for a 6'5 TE that can catch the ball? We should know by now that he hasn't exactly been spot on when it comes to player personnel. All you have to do is look at the release of Manumaniuseless, the decision to keep Todd Collins in as our #2 when he clearly shouldn't have been allowed to set foot on an NFL field, and the initial reluctance to tone down the pass happy play calling that dug us a bit of a hole early in the season.

Olsen traded to Carolina Panthers
He is still a weapon and a mismatch for most safeties and LB's. That's one less target Jay has to throw too in an already, below average offense.
-
Olsen traded to Carolina Panthers
If that's it, then this trade is full of fail.
-
Olsen traded to Carolina Panthers
This mystery player business is bugging me. I'm sure it's nobody that I would want or a player that's really expected to do anything. I can imagine the pick will be the more valuable asset we get in this trade.
-
Bears talking to Roy williams
Well aside from trading for Steve Smith or Braylon Edwards, Roy Williams is probably the best receiver on the market that's left. Maybe the reconnection with the Martz offense can spark some improved play from when he played with Detroit.
-
Olsen traded to Carolina Panthers
I bet Jay is pissed.
-
Olsen traded to Carolina Panthers
Unless that player is Jordan Gross, Jeff Otah, Jon Beason, or Steve Smith.... terrible deal.

pro teams making pro moves...
And this is why the Patriots are always an elite team. They know what the hell they are doing.. Wish I had the same confidence in this front office. Can't say that I do.
