Wait! Haven't I already written that post before? Why yes, I did. In fact I have done it two times (here and here). Perhaps I need to create a category for it, so I can reference it again.
For the thrid striaght year, Dusty Dvoracek has ended his season in the injured reserve. During the Vikings game, Dvoracek ruptured his right bicep muscle.
“Losing Dusty is big,” said defensive lineman Israel Idonije. “He’s a great player for us on the inside. He does a lot of great things and we’re going to miss his play. Someone has to step up and fill that role.”
Typically at ths point I would question whether the Bears would keep Dvoracek. He obviously has issues staying healthy and with next year being the last in his rookie contract, they might just cut him loose. However, this is the team that still has Rex Grossman and Mike Brown on their roster.
Marcus Harrison and Anthony Adams are most likely to rotate turns at replacing Dvoracek.

Our D line has not done much
So I’m wondering if we’ll even notice that Dusty isn’t playing.
If things came easy, then everybody would be great at what they did, let's face it.

Hmm...
Last I checked, the D line has actually been pretty damn good against the run, and Dusty is a big part of that.

The one time
our line was mainly responsible for stopping the run without ‘mugging the line" GB ran all over us. We can’t stop it unless the LBs and/or safeties are sitting on the line.

the LBs...
… are ALWAYS a huge part of the stopping the run, and being that our LBs cannot tackle, that becomes a problem.

Hmmm...
Yes we do play the run that well, except against GB and MIN as of late, and if Steven Jackson had played for the RAMS that could’ve been a different outcome as well.
All I’m saying is while I think Dusty has pulled his weight in the run game the overall Dline play has been mediocre at best. So we shall see if Anthony Adams will continue the run stuffing ways of Dusty or if he’ll be second rate.
You may trash my post now.

The DL hasn't been as successful as we wanted them to be this year
but getting rid of Dvoracek because of the unit’s lack of success isn’t smart.
He’s a beast….I’d hate for the Bears to cut him loose. And, he showed that he could stay healthy for a period of time. Keep him and see what next year brings.

Tough Luck
If it wasn’t for bad luck Dvorack wouldn’t have any luck at all.
I always wonder why is it that certain player cannot ever seem to get a break when it comes to injuries.

No!
It would have been too soon the first time it happened. On the third time some healthy wise cracking is appropriate.

Not arguing the appropriateness of the comment.
Just sayin it’s too soon to be crackin jokes. Especially when the man ruptured his biceps. lol

Again, not arguing that either.
But the man did a great job for us this year. Gotta give him a LITTLE bit of R-E-S-P-E-C-T.
I know you’re old enough to tell me who sung it….

Vasher is also starting to be put into that category of "out for the season"
To see your idol player whom you have grown up watching be cast aside by his loyal organization can make even a grown man choke up...We'll miss you #34!

Unfortunatley
Tillman isn’t that far. I don’t think he has missed the majority of any season, but he is generally out for 3-4 a year.

our secondary just underperforms heavily

not quite
Tillman has only had one season where he played less than 14 games.

Tough for Dusty
I am sure he hates being injury prone as much as anybody. He may not have had any sacks this year but he did have a lot of tackles for his position so it is a loss. The others will have to step it up. Bring him back next year and see what he can do and then let him walk in FA I say.

Dusty is the Mike Brown of the DLine
We gave Mike plenty of chances to come back so I’m sure Dusty will get at least one more year.
