Bears Sign Josh Bullocks

Josh_bullocks_medium

The Bears have signed free agent safety Josh Bullocks.  The deal is for 1-year with  $525,000 guaranteed.

Bullocks is a five years starter who lost his spot last season.  He is expected to at most add depth, but most are hoping he can beat out Craig Steltz for the free safety spot.

Just what we need

a player that couldn’t start for maybe the worst pass defense in the NFL..I am sure our defense coordinators can turn him around..

by tfrabotta on Mar 11, 2009 4:43 PM CDT reply actions  

Well

That would just about be how we do things around here…maybe Rashied Davis is going back to defense since he can’t catch…our new free safety..

damn that's horrible

It’s looks like when my nephew tries to play DB in Madden.

I know the suggestion is sacrelige

But If there was ever something that was going to make Chuck Norris cry. It just might be Bears Management and Ownership.

OMG

is that Daniel Manning trying to cover Reggie Wayne in the superbowl?? That guy should be paying us to play..

They could've just moved Terrence Metcalf to FS and saved themselves the trouble.

looks like neither one could catch anyone..

Bears

Is anybody really surprised the Bears signed him? This move stinks of Bears ass. It’s typical Chicago Bears off-season roster moves. Man, I love being a Bears fan.

by McRipper on Mar 11, 2009 5:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

I fully expect them to announce a 5 year deal for St Clair any moment now.

Nothing Better

Than a full Bear Day of mediocrity.

by Fridge72 on Mar 11, 2009 5:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

uh

well considering in at least 3 of the plays the cornerback bites on a pump fake and gets burned on the sideline 30 yards away from bullocks…yeah he is gonna be chasing the receiver.

you can pick out 10 bad plays from ANY player over the course of 5 seasons, big freaking whoop.

by lopey986 on Mar 12, 2009 3:44 AM CDT up reply actions  

Oy vay... that video makes me wanna puke.

I wonder if this guy even makes it out of training camp?

All this while

I am writing my check for season tickets and paying $108 per preseason game…

by tfrabotta on Mar 11, 2009 5:00 PM CDT up reply actions  

That's why I only spend on Cubs tickets...

Even if when they stink… it always a nice day for a ballgame.

I was sharing a portion of seasons the last 2 years in sec 209

But, this year I purchased four 13 game flex plans instead… and split them with a couple friends.

I'll puke too

Even Cedric Benson ran him over. He might have been the only person that Ced ran over that year.

by Fridge72 on Mar 11, 2009 4:59 PM CDT reply actions  

he can't play FS

not a bad idea at SS (or even LB), but we need a FS who can cover. i still can’t believe we just signed this dude who couldn’t start for a horrible pass defense AND is weak at pass coverage…and the hope is he’s our starting FS. wow. unreal. worst. offseason. ever.

by guy incognito on Mar 11, 2009 5:51 PM CDT up reply actions  

5 pro bowls and only 28 years old...

um yea horse collar may not be perfect but he certainly is an improvement.

by No It All on Mar 11, 2009 6:01 PM CDT up reply actions  

I changed my mind...

from the other thread I thought he might actually be good. From that video, this guy should be parking my car or bagging my groceries. But you get what you pay for…
My bet is that he doesn’t even make it out of camp. Any takers?

by Bearsguy34 on Mar 11, 2009 7:25 PM CDT reply actions  

no.

I agree, he’ll be cut.

We should definitely pickup horse collar. He’s better than Payne, and people are skerd of him.

by Subotai on Mar 11, 2009 7:35 PM CDT up reply actions  

In his defense...

I could probably make a video that makes Ed Reed look like an idiot in coverage.

Now, I’m not saying he’s good at all, I’m just saying don’t rely on a highlight video to say he is good or bad.

by chase17 on Mar 11, 2009 9:45 PM CDT up reply actions  

exactly

this is 10 bad plays over the course of 5 seasons…congratulations. not to mention on 3 of them the cornerback just gets burned down the sideline leaving bullocks on an island attempting to chase down a wide open receiver.

by lopey986 on Mar 12, 2009 3:46 AM CDT up reply actions  

But

the guy got benched!! From the Saints! If you can’t start for them you must really be bad, they have the worst secondary in the league..

by tfrabotta on Mar 12, 2009 9:15 AM CDT up reply actions  

so

give him a little help and maybe he looks better?

besides, this is about as low risk of a signing as you can get…1 year for 500k…hell if he doesn’t do a thing you cut him in camp no harm done.

by lopey986 on Mar 12, 2009 1:20 PM CDT up reply actions  

This signing

has me begging for Darren Sharper.

This guy

couldn’t cover a loaf of bread if he were given a tarp and a bag of bungees.

I call the nickname first:

Josh Buttocks – cause he’s gonna get raped by every passing combo known to man.

by bdalebs on Mar 11, 2009 8:29 PM CDT reply actions  

wtf

this is JA’s solution to the secondary/safety woes.
Just like ’yale and resigning st. clair are the solution to the OLine
sharper and roy williams hopes out the window.
JA is not taking this seriously.
this guy bullocks blows,
but will probably start at some point

i'm sorry bear fan

speaking from experience josh “catch up” bullocks is that bad. that vid was actually a highlight clip. hate to break it to you.

Hopefully, he either improves greatly,

or he doesn’t make it out of camp…
