The Bears Den: November 2, 2010

Forte runs all over the Bills

and cutler throws for 200 yards 2 tds in a 28-3 Bears Win

From Haugh’s story:

Besides, if Mike Martz’s offense were easy enough to learn in days or weeks, Johnny Knox wouldn’t still look as if he’s struggling to pass the class on reading coverages. Can you imagine Cutler’s reaction the first time Moss zigged and he threw to where he thought the receiver should zag?

We’re almost at the midway point of the season and we still have WRs who don’t know the offense so what flippin difference would it make to bring Moss in and have him learn a few plays. My guess is he can pick up what Martz throws down because he’s not as stupid as people like to paint him out to be. I’m sure his football smarts is above that of Hester and Knox.

Besides, he can run routes – post or slant – it’s not that difficult. If Cutler had time to throw I don’t see why Moss wouldn’t be a welcome target. All this BS about not being a team player – yeah, I get it. But we drop this game against the Bills and it won’t matter anyway … I’d say take the gamble.

The problem is the O-line and the 7 step drops, period. Let Jerry Jones pick up that headache, he never has enough play makers either. Why spend the money on the fat boys up front when you can bring in a player that can sell jerseys?

the Bears should run the ball against the poor rush defense of the Bills. My guess is that gives Martz the green light to call 99% passing plays to “outsmart” everyone!

Lovie says…

Melton won’t be in the backfield anytime soon. Is he worried that it might work? Lovie pins his hopes for winning football games on defense and ST. Why not actually put some defensive guys on the offense? Just not full time!

- NO WAY just no way the Bears look at moss

- Angelo will always mention / is always big on locker room chemistry do does not think the Bears will even consider it

- Thinks Tice would give his opinion on moss if asked by Angelo and Lovie

- Tice and moss did get along thinks Tice would say yes get him if asked even though he has no input on the offensive side of the ball other than o line

- Tough call for him on if he would do it

- belieck gave him away and that always concerns him when he lets a player go

- Hanley thinks the Bears are desperate enough to need moss and should do it

- moss would give them a respectable pure vertical threat they might need (if they do not think that Knox and or Hester are the answer). If the D wants to blitz would be hard to do with moss there and would / could open up running lanes

- Does not see it happening but he did not see the Cutler trade or the Peppers signing of 91 mill and 40 mil guaranteed

- Bears dont need the flashy news they need wins

- Story out there that the vikings waited the extra day to give teams time to call up moss agent to see if he would want to play for their teams

- Mully and Hanley go over how they think QBs should be in working every day and Cutler pretty much all last week off and not coming in today to go over film

- They think most QBs do that (aikmen later came on the show and said that most QBs he knows do not that during the bye week)

- Mully goes over how he has heard that Cutler does not put in the time like most QBs (again aikmen later countered that by saying he had heard differently and that Cutler worked hard and even stayed late when he was with shanny)

- Mully and Hanley were pretty upset that the whole team pretty much did not really work during this bye week

- Biggs says well we dont know what they do at all times (could be going over things or they could be watching Glee, the Simpson and the Harry Potter flims)
