I don't know for sure the reasons, but one common thread is Drake.

 

I don't disagree with you. I've been saying it for years and years. I still don't understand how opposing teams are able to cover the speed between Knox and Hester, and then the route-running of Bennett. There has to be something off. That makes me think of a few possibilities: 1. The OL doesn't give them enough time to actually run routes that allow them to use their straight-line speed (most likely), 2. They don't know how to use angles to seperate (a bit of truth in this as well), 3. The routes being used don't compliment the WR speed (difficult to assess as long as #1 & #2 are true, but I haven't seen the Bears frequently execute the Green Bay quick-slant that has been killing the Bears for years), 4. Cutler doesn't trust in the routes/plays/protection (a little truth here as well).

 

The point is, I don't think it's as simple as saying "get a new OC."

 

Licht was interviewed today, BTW.

The one candidate I'm not very interested in. The dude hasn't even had a seat in the Patriots warroom during the draft. (not that that is a bad thing because the Pats have struggled mightily in the draft the past few years; outside of there 2 TE's).
