March 16, 201016 yr comment_79204 Next thing you know, we may actually see some semblance of head coaching ability from Smith!? ...that may be asking for too much. Better quit while I'm ahead.

March 16, 201016 yr comment_79206 Rejoice all Bears fans! This kind of shows me what I had suspected. That Brandon M was signed to play that block first h-back role out of the backfield as much as he will inline (like past Martz FB/TEs), and we'd have no problem keeping the other three TEs. Report

The fact that we're devoted to the Martz system is the key here. We're not doing this half-ass, we're not trying to have Martz fit his scheme to accomodate our players. We're getting players to fit his scheme. IMO, it also means that those rumors of us wanting to get rid of Greg Olsen are dead right. Report
March 17, 201016 yr comment_79217 Martz can have a lifetime contract as far as I am concerned. FINALLY!!!!!! Report

March 17, 201016 yr comment_79221 Was there any more damning proof of Turner's incompetence than his unwillingness to go after a FB who could do something well. He stuck with McKie the jack-of-no-trades instead of finding a FB who was good at something like blocking, or receiving, or rushing. Report

He stuck with McKie the jack-of-no-trades instead of finding a FB who was good at something like blocking, or receiving, or rushing. I still would have like Peyton Hillis who the Broncos just traded to the Browns as part of the Quinn deal including a 6th rd draft pick. Bears easiliy could off landed him in the draft a couple seasons ago. Report
March 17, 201016 yr comment_79226 IMO, it also means that those rumors of us wanting to get rid of Greg Olsen are dead right. Could be a big indicator bradjock. Just hope we can get a decent draft pick for him, though from the posts I've read here, I doubt it. If Olsen starts to speak out about the situation, I'd definitely say he's gone. Report
March 17, 201016 yr comment_79238 Without intending to defend Turner, I wonder how much was Turner and how much was Lovie. Lovie seems to fall in love with certain players, and regardless whether they seem to fit or not, we just continue to keep them. I recall him once saying, "as long as I am the head coach, AP will have a job." McKie is another how was a favorite of Lovie. Look, there are a thousand reasons to rip Turner, and frankly, this may well be one. I just wonder how much was Turner and how much was Lovie in this regard.

March 17, 201016 yr comment_79255 The Mike Martz offense doesn't even utilize a FB so it doesn't matter. Exactly. Keep an extra TE or WR on the roster. Peace Report
March 17, 201016 yr comment_79263 If they were truly serious on keeping a fullback they should kept that Pilot kid that came through camp a year or so back, But it is great news Mckie is gone. Dedication to the martz system will be interesting to watch. Report
