Run Turner...WOW
“We’ve got a good offensive line,‘’ Turner said. ``They’re good football players. They’re playing well. And collectively, as an offense, we’ve got to do some things better.
Everyone’s talking about the offensive line, and I have no idea why. I like our offensive line. Got good players, good depth.”
—Ron Turner. Chicago Tribune, 10/29/09

I read an article from one of the beat writers
a while back that sort of categorized our OL as average in the NFL. He said that their are only a handful of great OLs, and only a few poor ones. Everyone else, including the Bears, are just average.

So a guy who can't tackle
is now going to be a free safety? Fantastic. Our secondary should be much improved.

can't tackle AND slow
I can’t think of a worse DB for us to use at free safety.
Also, I’d rather us find a way to get Graham on the field instead of Vasher’s slow ass. At least Graham can tackle, and doesn’t lose his footing every time a WR makes a move.

The article on the injuries is interesting
I know Angelo has a habit of picking up talented but injury prone players but it doesn’t explain how players go to different teams and suddenly become healthier. Anyone else getting visions of the Bears rehab facilities looking like the ones in “Major League” staffed by physical therapy interns?

I think he fell off the face of the earth
wasn’t he suppose to try FS. he was doing good at corner before.

and in camp
they were working Graham as the nickel replacement as well… such a coaching fail. Graham was fine at Corner, and now the Bowman isn’t what we thought, we have no backup option…

it would be different i guess
if the ones on the field were actually the best we have. But it seems like the ones on the bench are better than the ones on the field. This bears coaching staff is all smoke and mirrors trying to pass the blame.

Anyone's guess
Who knows what goes behind the scenes? All we can do is speculate on why certain players have fallen out of favor. It sure seems like another Mark Bradley situation, except Graham has never really been injured.

this web site this year is more of a venting place for bears fans. It seems like every year we are just wasting the talent we have. Talent is not the issue this year. They need a Bears fan AA meeting.

Of course Cutler is trying to do too much
His coaches failed him in Denver (saddling him with the #28th & 30th ranked defenses) and in Chicago with the mess that is now the Bears.
Conversly, look at the difference quality coaching is doing for Kyle Orton in Denver.
Josh McDaniels may be a rookie HC who’s younger than half his players and Mike Nolan may be (actually is) a failed HC, but the results speak for themselves.
It’s only six games, but right now McDaniels would be the frontrunner for ‘Coach-of-the Year’ and Nolan the "Coordinator-of-the-Year.’
Coaching matters so much more in the NFL than in other sports that it’s not even funny.
Those that don’t understand that don’t understand the game of football at the NFL level.
by GeoMak on Oct 30, 2009 7:21 AM CDT reply actions 0 recs
True Geomak
but the one thing you have with McDaniels is a lack of film for other teams to study. I’m not sure who well his “dink and dunk” offense will hold up once teams get more film.

I'm pretty sure that Denver's offense looks
a lot like the offense that McDaniels ran in NE.
I’m not saying that Denver is a great team. What I am saying is how much coaching matters.
Kyle Orton was a 4th round pick. Joe Montana a 3rd round pick. Tom Brady a 6th round pick.
For a QB, you can’t get any better coaching than a guy like Bill Walsh, both concerning fundamentals and scheme.
Tom Brady always gave a lot of credit to his first QB coach in NE (Dick Rehbein) who was there for him in his first season, before his untimely death at the age of 45. From Belichick on down, Brady has always been surrounded by excellent coaching and has been easy to coach.
The biggest reasons why guys like Montana and Brady became great, far greater than their draft status warranted, is that they came in the NFL with a chip on their shoulder (because of where they were drafted), they worked their asses off, and they were surounded by great coaching.
That exact same formula may play out in a similar fashion in Denver.

Right now
the donkeys are thriving at YAC, and fantastic O-line play. I don’t know if film will help opposing defenses stop Marshall. I can see D-coordinators disguising their blitzes a little better though- sending CBs, S, etc.

makes you wonder though..
given they would have lost some of their draft picks, but if they still had cutler and all their defensive changes, the broncos would be downright scary this year.

Getting our AP back shouldn't fly under the radar.
It will be good to have a 3rd down back that can actually block as opposed to getting jumped over.

Pretty empty promise
The defense is vowing to rebound from their loss.
I sure hope so. It won’t prove much against one of the worst offenses the NFL has every seen; I guess they can go nowhere but up!

we should tar and feather them, strap them to a board, and leave them on the 50 yd line at Lambeau

Beekman
Beekman (6-2, 310) who started all 16 games at left guard last season, does not have the body type the Bears want, but he never did anything to fall out of favor.
I don’t understand this rationale at all. Beekman is listed as exactly 5 lbs. lighter than Omiyale. I think his superior technique would nullify any weight advantage and then some. When I say “superior” technique, I mean not falling over at the slightest contact.

hahahaha
As I said in the Den yesterday, I think the Bears want taller linemen.
And, Omiyale is better at the T than guard. I think if Orlando goes bye-bye eventually, Omiyale could fit in nicely. However, I don’t know if I’d put him at LT or RT…..Chris Williams has done a nice job at RT.

Frank the tank
He might be a good, more natural fit at RT next season.

by propheteer on Oct 30, 2009 10:44 AM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
And move Chris to LT?
At this point, I could really care less as to who is where. Omiyale seems more suited for RT, but I’m also not convinced that Williams is quick enough for LT.

LT or RT
As far as being quick enough, either position has to go up against fast DE/OLBs. It seems like he’s done pretty well so far. Hopefully, he makes the transition seemless later this year or next.

I've been asking this question for the last two games...
to me it’s another questionable piece of coaching by Lovie and Turner. Prior to his minor leg injury at the end of training camp, it was pretty evident that DA was the #3 (and possibly the #2 receiver). Everything that we read said the only reason that Knox was active for the Packer game was DA’s injury. Knox has done an outstanding job and, I agree, he should be ahead of Aromashadu at this point, but since DA has been active for the last two games, why wouldn’t you put him in when you’re in the redzone once in awhile to take advantage of the size mismatch he would create? At least see if you really do have another weapon or if there is a reason he hasn’t really made an impact in the league thus far.
As always, under Lovie’s watch, they get stuck on certain players(either for or against) and until injuries or a complete blow up of another player takes place, they seem to refuse to give the other player a chance. I am convinced that if DA were not hurt, that a possible ROY candidate would be a completely forgotten man at this point. This is a major factor, IMO, that there has been a lack of player development under this regime.
by BearFan611 on Oct 30, 2009 3:11 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
clearly, and when we were getting destroyed against cincy, why keep our “starting” WR in, why not let DA get a little more feel for the game…what did we have to lose?

you can say the same about alot of players in that game.
graham, DA, Beekman. I still believe we have alot of talent on this team. But since we never make changes we’ll never know how good some of these players are.
