...where some might say we have an "All-Star" coaching staff.
David Haugh not too pleased with the way the meeting between Martz and Cutler went down.
But after some reflection, Haugh delivers a good spin on the situation.
Brad Biggs starts his 12 part series with the QBs.
Knox recieved over $22k for his efforts in the Pro Bowl.
Lovie talks about what Martz will bring to the table.
Follow WCG on Twitter!
Pep Hamilton is talking with the Bucs about their QB coach position.
Hillenmeyer donating his brain.
Biggs calls the Martz hire an "experiment." Some good quotes from the brass in there.
McMahon still making his rounds in the media. I wonder why he's surfaced so much lately.
Will we have a Defensive Coordinator today? Stay tuned!

i was thinking
THat with Martz’s system being so difficult couln’t we try to get one of his former QB’s as our QB coach ro offensive assistant? Like Trent Green or Kurt Warner, if he would be interested in jumping right back into football, just not on the field.

Not a terrible idea.
The way Warner sounded at the press conference, though, it seems like he’s just going to go home and chill out for a while.

I don't think he would want to go into coaching.
I think if he did anything in the NFL, it would be broadcasting.

I can't stand band-wagoner fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
I wonder who
Martz’s qb coach’s have been in his other stops. I tried googling it but came up empty. Probably a decent bet one of those guys gets the job.
DEJESUS!!!
Some more offensive coaches info from one of the above links
Martz, who lauded the work of wide receivers coach Darryl Drake and running backs coach Tim Spencer, will be involved with the hiring of the remainder of the offensive staff. The word in the coaching community is he would like to hire Adam Gase as quarterbacks coach. Gase coaches wide receivers in Denver and worked for Martz in San Francisco and Detroit. It’s unknown if the Broncos would allow him to leave. The Bears already interviewed Mike DeBord for the tight ends position.
thats interesting that they want the denver WR coach to be QB coach…..

You are the man!
I use Hulu all the time and it never donned on me to check for Bears stuff. Of course I donated my brain to research years ago. Guess I should have waited until I actually didn’t need it anymore.

To add
“Our roster is pretty well set,” Angelo said. "We don’t have the first two picks in the draft. Free agency potentially will be very limited. It’s not like we won’t look for players like we do every year, but we’re not going into this thinking we have to have an overhaul with our offense.
So they’re set at RT? If they rely on Shaffer to pass-block in Martz’s system we’re in real trouble.

The question is then… is Beekman a worse LG than Shaffer is a RT?

I just responded to your other post
I don’t have a clue on whether or not Omi would be good enough on the right side (I think the Bears are afraid to move him again), but I’d imagine Beekman would do just fine cause of his athleticism and technique.

LOL
I responde to your other one too. :)
Beekman would do just fine? Puke. To quote SackMan… “Want to know what I had for lunch?”
Beekman has youth on his side, and that’s it. Maybe Tice can turn Beekman into something resembling an OG, but in 2008 and 2009, Beekman showed he is who we think he is.

I'm still not sold
that we won’t have Pace as our starting RT next year.
Pace / Garza / Kruetz / Omi / Williams

That's a big "if"
Pace wouldn’t move to RT last season, what makes you think he will this year? It would definitely make a lot of sense though.

If the choice is...
play right tackle or retire?

The RT
is primarily a run blocking position, so I reallt doubt they’d put Pace there when he absolutely can’t run block anymore.
DEJESUS!!!
Not in Martz's scheme
He requires two very athletic tackles in order to offset the pass-rush on both ends. Besides, the defense will be spread out wide because of the 3-4 WR sets. I guess on short-yardage situations Shaffer could be subbed in for Pace.

They also
said that they are going to run more than Martz traditionally does in his offense. Also, Pace is not athletic. I’d be pretty surprised if he wasn’t cut or retired this off-season.
DEJESUS!!!
Ill believe that
when I actually see it….considering everywhere martz has been his run pass avg ratio comes out to something like 63 % pass 37 % run…..

not sure why anyone cares about this...
considering we may have been the worst running team last year.
That's a good point
He’s no longer the same player, nor should he be considered athletic. I was just stating that he did a decent job in pass-blocking, and may be better than Shaffer.
"But it doesn't matter what I do, what I choose. I'm what's wrong. This is fate" - Dexter season 4....I mean Lovie season 6.
Exactly.
And at right tackle, he won’t have to face the elite DEs like he does on the blind side. Could be a good move, probably not. I’m just stating that I could absolutely see that scenario playing out.

Depends
but I can see JA drafting a RT in the third round, or possibly trading up in the 2nd for one. If that scenario doesn’t transpire, then we’ll see him sign a FA. RT has easily become the Bears biggest need after Martz coming aboard.

I kind of figured
I’d get a response like this based on your distaste for all that is Beekman. As fans, it’s very difficult to see who played well, with good technique, and who sucked bigtime. I know I saw that from Omi, with Beek probably being average or slightly below average. Do you have any individual metrics on the Bears linemen?

I had been keeping up with Pro Football Focus
until the last few weeks of the season. PFF does an outstanding job of grading every player in every game… I just haven’t had time to keep up lately. I should try and do some digging soon.
