PrintYou make light of algebra now, but when you're all grown up and your friends are making logarithm jokes at cocktail parties, you won't have a clue as to what everyone's laughing at.
Briggs remains sidelined with ankle injury - Iwuh says he's ready to go. See below
Urlacher: D not feeling pressure if they apply it - They maintain a hunger, a desire for pressure.
Seahawks present special test - A test of sheer terror.
Peppers' value? Ask Bears' opponents - Generally speaking, you have to plan for him and it makes them sad.
Follow WCG on Twitter. It gives you an overall rating of 99.
Chicago Bears at a disadvantage with Seattle Seahawks coming off open date - Bowen breaks down why playing the well-rested can be dangerous.
Brian Iwuh ready just in case Lance Briggs can't play - Let's hope he can get it going just as well.
Seattle Seahawks certainly are new, and trying to be improved - They can wait til week 7, though.
Chicago Bears bungled offensive line from the start - I wasn't going to post one, but then I read it and it made me upset, and then I wanted to force that on all of you, as well.
A meeting of the minds - The coaches are accountable too.
So how many concussions has Jay Cutler had? - Jensen talks about yesterday's big topic.
Williams happy with starting role - Might as well try another combination.
Stopping Seattle's Washington a tall order - They have a special teams beast. The Bears have several special teams beasts.
Jared Allen's disappearing act - Waaaaah. Captain Mullet isn't doing it much. I'm sad about stuff.

I was thinking the same thing
I don’t know how one injures a hamstring without moving one’s feet, but he did.
It leads me to believe that CW isn’t in very good shape, cause generally a hamstring is pulled when sprinting, not lolly-gagging around the line.
"How do you know somebody is great? When you see how they respond to adversity. Anybody can man a ship when the waters are calm." - Jerry Angelo
Not only that
But McNeil just overall in that articles attacks Lovie’s training camp style, which is completely soft. Perhaps Williams is out of shape or perhaps, as we have seen under Lovie in the past, his “player friendly” training camp leaves players vulnerable to injuries.
Especially at a position like o-line, with the inexperience we have at that position, how would it have hurt to get them more live contact and get them more live reps, rather than tapping some dummies and heading to lunch.
"I feel like the pieces are in place. But we have to execute...It's about execution. You have to execute. You have to have a scheme that facilitates the strengths of your players. If it doesn't, then it's a bad scheme. It's that simple. So we feel real good about the parts in place on offense."

In fairness to Lovie
I’ve read (don’t have a link) that his “soft” camp is very similar to most NFL coaches’ camps. Take it for what it’s worth. It could be that CW is just panning out to be a bust.

Say it ain't so. Angelo and company overrated a players ability in the draft??
No effing way.
If you don't ask, you don't get. So get on with it already.

I don't think McNeil is getting any
at home. But, then I’ve been bitching about the O-line for 3 years and didn’t like Williams when they drafted him there was so many promising Olinemen in that draft
by 62bearsthe best on Oct 15, 2010 11:21 AM CDT up reply actions
He may turn out to be a bust.
The irony is that Ryan Clady was picked only 2 spots ahead of Williams and Jeff Otah was just after him. It was supposed to be one of the deepest drafts for tackles in years.
But even if Williams had emerged as a Pro Bowler, overall, Angelo has still almost completely ignored the line since he’s been running the show. And now, we have seen the result of his neglect.
might as well let Briggs heal up. This is gonna be a easy one.
Looking at the matchups, Bears dominate all across the board. My nephew thinks this is a trap game(Pete Carroll fanboy), I think Peppers will have his best game yet.

I agree, i think Pep
is due for a multiple sack game and this just could be it. His play has been dominate but doesn’t blow you away statistically, I think this is where the two meet. I don’t know if I’d say this is an “easy win” but I like the way you think even if you did like Mark Bradley a little to much.

The line WILL get better on the offensive side. but this will be an easy win because of the Rushmen(ugh)
think our line is a big pile of issues, check out what’s goin on in Seattle. It’s so bad that their O-line coach got the hell out of there before the start of the season. the only way this game gets easier if if we dressed 45 Mark Bradleys sunday.

We talked
about the Giants game being a trap game…and guess what?
Any team is dangerous, especially ones that get no respect. We know all about that.

By that logic, you’re saying the Bills are a dangerous team, just like the Panthers were, right?

Yup
Not sure why Schefter thinks “Weak Sauce” fits into the Pats scheme.
Maybe DE? Oh well, doesn’t matter. No chance of happening, so.
Thanks for the read
It’s funny to me. Whenever there’s a report on Tommie, it’s like a report on a fault line or volcano.
“We’ve seen signs of quake, small tremors, etc… Scientists agree a quake is imminent. When it will strike is uncertain. But the signs are there.”
And unfortunately, just like a quake or volcano. After one hits, you get a few aftershocks and then they tend to go back to sleep for a while.
The Coaching staff seems to be the only ones
That seem to think he’s poised for a breakout. Talent evaluation at it’s highest (ahem) level.

Two suggestions:
1: Get an avatar.
2: Work after practice on your “popping” skills.
:)

Hell yes!
And I want to see a Boogaloo Sam avatar.
"More cowbell" - Bruce Dickinson; "More bell cow" - Lovie Smith
Avatar sure. I'd say it's long overdue
I’m lost on the “popping” comment.
I must be a moron
So you’re saying it’s better for me to link the word “pop”?
No dude.
^
When you click the “link” character and the new window opens, past your link and then click the checkmark box where it asks you “Open in New Window”. That way when the link is clicked it won’t redirect you away from this sight (which makes Dane’s hair fall out). The “link” will open in a new browser window. “Pop” is just terminology for all that.

I feel most smartest now
Thanks bro!
And sorry about your hair Dane. Btw, how happy were you this past Saturday?
Pssst....
It’s because people are too lazy to right click and select “open in new tab;” a good habit since the rest of the intewebz is inconsistent as to popping links.
What about my hair?
And LSU keeps winning in spite of their HC at times (and because of him at others).
Your hair;

Yeah a prototypical 3-Technique guy
Going to a 3-4. Aren’t those like the most completely opposite positions? I’m not sure any 3-4 team would take Harris.

Not my idea.
But for a “prototypical 3-Technique guy” he isn’t playing so prototypically. Interesting to see what happens if Izzy continues his rampage. Will that light a fire/provide more opportunity for Tommie?

Moon Mullin on CTL
- D key to the season
- Was the core reason why he thought they could win 10 games. Just to many talented players on that side of ball (Urlacher, Peppers, Briggs) no slight to Rod and his playcalling
- Lovie / Babich / Rod extremely similar thinks Lovie probably would have called same D
- Thinks to protect Cutler coming back is to give the ball to 22, 29, then 22 again but will Martz dial it back
- Also by running the ball take pressure off of Webb, Ewilliams, CWilliams (dont have to worry about passing protection schemes)
- Player Bears can least afford to lose is Peppers cause no push with out him but Urlacher right up there since D fell off without him. Urlacher = key to the ignition
- Kaplan goes on his daily (but true) rant about the O being horrific on the goal line 0 for 10, 32nd on 3rd downs, and up till last week no rushing TDs
- Moon jokes ya well the Bears are 1 – 4 so….Then jokes that Kaplan focusing on negatives
- Did state one of his collgues figures out that Forte avgs 6 INCHES on runs inside the 5. Yes 6 INCHES (insert obligatory thats what she said joke here)
- O not played well but they have shown flashes
- Thinks the goal line O is some faults with the playcalling
- O does do respectful job to cover up some weaknesses
- O not playing great but still finds ways to win which is hallmark of some good teams
- Running game is not where they want it to be
- Talks about Cutler concussion stories and how the stories might not have all the facts and be inaccurate
- Kaplan mentions that he does not know how good the team is since they can easily be 2 – 3 or 1 – 4
Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker......
- Jay Cutler on how he handles stress playing behind the O Line
I agree w/ the questioning of the Cutler concussion stories
To me it seems like the articles just kind of stated he was out with a concussion, without so much as citing a coach or trainer who said as much. Guys get knocked down in games a lot and, yes there’s a good chance he was seen getting a concussion test on the sideline. However, there’s also a good chance that perhaps Cutler has suffered a concussion before but that they were far milder than the one he had against the Jets. Maybe he meant he’d never had like a full-on blackout, fogginess, dizzy concussion before.

So tired..
of hearing how the Detrimental Turd is coming on. Heard it all pre-season with how healthy he looks and is practicing every day. Heard it last year. Heard it the year before. He’s done. He’s far from elite anymore, he’s average to sub-par. Everytime you see him get hyped up, it seems he’s suspended or in-active the next week. Go away Tommie. You suck.

However I did enjoy it… Got a good laugh out of me.
My ex-roommate would be very disappointed in me
He owns all the Saved By The Bell seasons and movies and all that, including Good Morning Miss Bliss. He used to watch them when we lived in the dorms and it bored me to death. Never been a big fan, not because I think it’s bad, I just never got into it.

I mean Kev H. I was at an all day inservice at school and the guest speaker was just discussing the importance of advanced math in high school. I thought I’d log on for a quick peek at WCG and your quote of the day was the first thing I saw. It made an entire table full of teachers start snickering so hard we got a dirty look for the guest professor. Thanks!
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
