if harris plays like a pro-bowler again it improves the entire defense. it forces the opposing team to double team him which allows the defensive ends to get penetration which makes our secondary look better than it is.

but I think you’ve hit it out of the park thus far. Can’t wait to see who is next!

“I think the depth behind him is better than behind my #1 and #2.”

i agree, that’s why i don’t think i would even put him this high. with marinelli on board i believe harrison could step in and become the equivalent of what harris was in his 2nd year.

i have a hard time deciding who you’re going to put in the #2 hole. cutler’s got to be #1 and i guess briggs would have to go #2 since he is the key to the cover two. but if that’s the case, where’s olsen?

If you want to talk about Ben Roethlisberger, could you take it to the Den please?

Thanks.

Its about time Tommie starts earning some of the money he got with that extension. I am realy hopping they are not smoke screening us about his health this year.

But, I’m gonna back track one to #4 Orlando Pace.

I think one of the most important things that needs to happen for the Bears offense: Chris Williams MUST win the starting RT job outright, on his own merit, without any doubt or favoritism. He must be clearly superior than Kevin Shaffer.

If Williams wins that job, our pass protection from the edges will be outstanding.

No. No hes not. Next question.

I know this isn’t the photo caption contest, but damn this would be the winner.

a great player is plagued by injuries. Draft busts I can handle, bad free agent signings make me a little sad, but when I see a dominant player like this hobbled by a bum knee, it just makes me crazy. This must be what it felt like for bears fans watching during the all too short Gayle Sayers era. Let’s all knock on some wood and hope that Tommie gets to at least 90-95% from here on out for his career and my sanity.

Tommie Harris is deserving of that spot at #3 most important Bear in 09. When he’s doing his job and performing at a pro bowl level it makes life much easier for the rest of the line. Hopefully we see a Healthy Tommie Harris come July 31st when training camp begins.

but if Mr. Harris is the 3rd most important player on this team, the Bears are doomed for a bad season. I let T.H. go about two yr’s ago, please do the same. or I might have to jump offsides again.

think about the coaches being in the top 3. Everybody knows what # 6 can do, #22, etc. it’s what Turner & Lovie & the staff will do with them,That will make or break this season. I think we have the best coaches in the division. My opinion only, thanks.
