Angelo Says Changes Are A-Comin!

by Adam T on Dec 26, 2007 11:57 AM CST in News

Bears GM Jerry Angelo brought his self-imposed media silence since since Halloween to an end during a taped pregame broadcast.

In it he states the teams direction for the offseason.

Angelo acknowledged that the bulk of the Bears' offseason work will be done on the offensive side of the ball, with a close look not only at personnel, but the scheme.

Obviously, it is good to see him put this out there. He has had a very non-vocal attitude when it comes to dealing with the ineptitudes of this team. The one concern I would have is this:

That's where most of our time is going to be spent -- not all of it, but most of it,'' he said. ''We have to do some thinking in areas of what we're doing on offense. I've talked to Lovie about that. Once we get the season over, obviously [coordinator] Ron [Turner] will be involved in that very heavily as well.

I hope this is preceded by Angelo looking into whether Turner will even be around next year. He seems to not be able to handle anything more than the basic offense and going from one simple offense to another hardly seems like the answer.

Heavily Involved loosely translated

Ron Turner will be strapped to a chair in a dark basement "interrogation style."

"Who called the bubble screen asshole?!?!"

"Where the fuck is Greg Olsen?!"

"Why did you run 10 screen passes and no go routes?!"

"Where was the ol' end around, dipshit?!"

"Garrett Wolfe versus 700 lbs of Williams?! WTF?!"

2008 Salary Cap Room

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/peter_king/12/09/week14/4.html

Interesting look at the salary cap here. This actually shows how many players are under contract. The Bears have the 19th most cap space, but have 52 spots locked up. Some of those may change, I'm looking ay you Archuleta/Miller,

In my personal salary cap spreadsheet I show only 47 players under contract for 2008. No big difference I guess

The bears have 19.8MM to play with, so hopefully we'll spend it and spend it well.
