August 22, 200817 yr comment_44773 Agreed. Honestly, of just a handful of guys on this team that get a pre-season pass...he's one of them. He's rusty. He hasn't played live football (other than preseason) in over a yr. He will be fine. Peace Report

August 22, 200817 yr comment_44795 Same issue came up on the official board. I don't know for sure about that TD play, but I do know Tillman admitted to blowing contain, which may have allowed the QB extra time that Brown wasn't banking on. Anyway, people really have to stop making paranoid predicitions and/or reactionary judgements based on one preseason game. Next week it'll probably be "Is Hester washed up? Can free agency still help us replace our crap D-line? Now that Orton is proven, who's the backup?" Granted, this is a Bears forum and such topics are fair game...just as long as people know to take it for what it's worth. Report
August 26, 200817 yr comment_44998 He's earned the benefit of the doubt, but we legitimately have to wonder about his speed at this point. He's 30 years old and has injury after injury. With Dallas wanting to get rid of Roy Williams because he's not fast enough, and we've seen what happened with Arch, it is a legitimate concern. Last year at this time I'd have said, "It's pre-season, don't worry about it." But this defense has sucked for two long to keep that attitude. Report

Last year at this time I'd have said, "It's pre-season, don't worry about it." But this defense has sucked for two long to keep that attitude. Since when has M Brown ever been described as fast? When drafted the knock on him was his speed. Brown will be fine as long as he remains healthy. He has never been a speed demon, he knows schemes, angles, and is probably one of the most intelligent ball players we have on defense. He is going to make a heck of a coach when he retires if he chooses to go that route. Report
August 26, 200817 yr comment_45009 I didn't watch the 49er game entirely via DVR but I did watch the first quarter. On Gore's long run where he cut back all the way across the field you will see a few things. First, Tillman gets out of position and/or gets blocked as Gore comes around the DE. This allows Gore the room to move upfield. Second, Gore cuts back across the field as our LBs fall to the ground grasping air. Running across the field behind the LB is #33 chasing Gore. Third, as Gore comes back past the center of the field you see Mike Brown about 5 yards deeper than him and he starts to run downfield away from Gore, taking a very shallow angle toward the sideline. There was nobody in front of Brown blocking his path toward Gore. It looks as if Brown is heading upfield to cover a WR on a passing route as he followed a couple 49ers. I have no idea where he was going nor why he didn't try to get wider on the field to cutoff Gore. At this time Tillman comes clear across the field and tackles Gore, Brown is still running upfield toward the endzone. If that was any other safety we'd be talking about cutting him. Report
August 26, 200817 yr comment_45010 Plus that touchdown play when he sat there and let the receiver come behind him kind of worries me. That looks like a rookie mistake in coverage. I know its only preseason, but Brown, Url, Briggs, and Tillman's crappy play has me worried. Report
