Lunchtime Links: Chicago Bears Style

PrintWhen the NFL first published the 2009 regular season schedule, one of the first things to jump out at me was the fact that the Bears had such an early Bye week. But if you were to ask me about it now, I'd say I wouldn't change it for the world.
Sure, the twelve weeks following are going to be a tough test to stay healthy, but right now the Chicago Bears have gained valuable momentum over the last three weeks, and we need to be as healthy as possible headed into Atlanta.
Let's check out some stories from around the web...
Pisa Tinoisamoa expects to be back in the starting line up against Atlanta.
Steve Rosenbloom's blog entries from yesterday has a nice, happy context to them.
Nice article on Dave Toub. Will he be back next season?
The Bears defense, and coach Lovie Smith, are not satisfied right now.
Bye week equals resting time. Does Lovie trust his players to behave?
Dan Arkush says that Charles Tillman hasn't missed a beat.
See where this article has Johnny "Roy" Knox ranked in their 2009 Rookie Rankings for week 5.
Harris Poll asks for "America's Favorite Team." #1: Cowboys, #2 Steelers, #3 Bears.
Non-Bears article: Woman is playing with dog. Cop thinks it's an attack. Shoots both dog and woman.

Really
To the cop- you might want to ask the lady if she’s being attacked before going all Rambo on them.

I would have no problem
If Toub became our highest-paid assistant/coordinator after this season. Or maybe second to Hot Rod. The guy has won us many games and is clearly a very good coach. Since John Harbaugh became a head coach, I think Toub could get some looks there down the road but hopefully not. I think he is invaluable to the team. I just hope Lovie doesn’t let the good special teams go to his head like he did w/ the defense after 2006 and let Toub walk like Rivera…

If
Toub Leaves, that’s not good news at all, whatever we need to do to retain him, we have to

i would be willing..
to donate to that cause if the old lady halas wont pay.

I would be willing
to donate Ron Turner’s salary to keep Toub around. If we can sell Turner’s organs for extra cash, I’m good with that too.

The interesting thing about the list is to look where virtually everybody else on it was drafted.
I can think of a reason…

i can think of many
reasons why you don’t just hop out of your cruiser and start busting caps when there’s a civilian in the line of fire… there’s things called tasers and mace.
Yeah but for a cop
when are civilians not around? I agree a poor assement was made, however if the lady who was playing with the dog was screaming and gave the appearance of being attacked it’s not that far fetched that a cop would shoot the dog. But it brings up a good point that if you are going to discharge your firearm you should make sure you hit what you’re shooting at. I’m sure it was a tough shot and since I wasn’t there I can’t say for sure how tough it was or the amount of time the cop had to make the decision.
Just so you know not all cops carry tasers, and we don’t use mace we use pepper spray and sometimes those items don’t work on certain people or possibly some animals. In the event it’s a life or death situation deadly force should be used. What if it was a child? Would you want the cop to wait and see what’s happening? If it was my child that pup would be toast.

the cop made the wrong choice either way
Even the the lady was getting attacked the cop missed the dog and hit her anyway. Or the bullet went through the dog and hit her. That person has no buisness being a police officer if they cannot follow basic shooting principles. Line of fire being one of the most important.

You can’t say that you weren’t there. I’m not saying she was right or wrong, I just don’t think it’s right for us to condemn somebody and say they shouldn’t be this or that when none of us were there to know what really went down.

Sorry
but definitely wrong. When you hit the person you’re trying to protect then what’s the point in being overly aggressive?
"Repetition is only good when you've been winning." - Valet
All I'm saying is
it’s easy for us to judge a person who made a life or death decision based on what they saw. We can say all day long well they should’ve done this or they should’ve done that. But the fact of the matter is, none of us were there and none of us had the burden to make that decision.
I’m on the reserve Police Force here as well as Active duty and to tell me that a person who has to make choices in a split second that they were wrong is out of line. Plain and simple you can feel whatever you want about the situation but to say that someone shouldn’t be a cop because they made a decision to save a persons life is ludicris. I’m not saying you said it. But it was said. This is the last I’m going to speak on this topic, no one here had to make the choice that Officer did and none of us have to live with the ramifications of said choice. It just pisses me off that Police Officers don’t get credit for doing what they do, but they sure as hell take a beating if they make a mistake, it’s easy to call the game on the sideline.
But anyway back to football.

True
I just think it’s a tad bit premature to pull out his gun and start firing before assessing the situation for a second. You’re right though, none of us were there to witness it. I give cops and reserves all the credit in the world for doing a heck of a job.

Particularly..
After how terribad everyone thought this draft class was going to be…quite the boomer so far.
less is more if you get rid of Babich
Take his salary and add it onto Toub’s – problem solved, and you get the added benefit of shedding excess weight on the staff. I was worried about him leaving after last season – if he gets feelers elsewhere, promote him into Babich’s job. Who cares, as long as Lovie’s still calling the defensive plays.
They won't get rid of Babich
Especially since Urlacher is out for ’09.
They will say that it was Babich who helped to bring Pisa up to speed and under his supervision that the backups were able to come in and fill the gap left by #54.
He’ll probably get a raise :-(

They may keep him
but it’s hard to justify giving someone a raise after ripping half of his responsibilities from him. Plus, I don’t see many teams throwing buckets of cash at him to lure him away.

That would be cool...
But I’d think he’d get cold walking the sidelines in a kilt in December…
