Name the Players- Bears Fans
So Mike Martz comes in as the new offensive coordinator working under a HC who was once respected but is coming out of two terrible seasons.
Martz has a vision for an attacking offense and he has the following weapons and tools to work with (let's see if you can name them all Bears fans):
2. A fourth-year, former fifth round pick who was mostly a back up at the start of his career but spent the last season playing left guard but who might have enough athleticism to be a right tackle in a pass happy offense.
3. A 22 year old , down to earth and promising 6' tall WR with a 40 time in the mid 4's but who plays faster. A guy who set all kinds of conference receiving records in college and was recognized for his good hands, route running and toughness.
4. A smallish speedy receiver- coming out of a decent rookie campaign after being picked up from a small school program with a mid-late round selection. He has excelled at the return game and open field running has surprisingly good hands and route running and who looks like a solid pass catching contributor for the future.
5. The leading WR on the team the last several years is now entering his 5th year. This former Round 2 pick is a Florida native with excellent speed. He is a tad under 6' and weighs in at 190lbs. Over the last two years he's averaged about 650 yards per season on about 50 catches but those numbers would have been higher if not for some injuries. There are some questions as to whether he is a true number one wr or actually a number 2.
6. This dynamic RB is looking to start again fresh. Having launched his career as a first day pick and racking up over 1200 rushing yards and close to 500 receiving yards as a rookie, he has faced some injuries and issues but still has enough carries and yardage to make believers out of most in the league. He is fantastic out of the backfield and has proven to be a great weapon in the passing game.
7. The Quarterback of this team is the ultimate key to its success. Although doubt surrounds him everywhere, he is supremely confident in himself and despite doom and gloom from the fan base and in the National media, the coaches are committed to their plan of building an offense around him.
Can you name those 7 players?

Wait, you say Martz "has these tools to work with"
so that makes it seem you are playing “Name That Bear”…
But, then you say MuleTrain is close, but only one is a Bear that he named.
Am I missing something?

I'm describing a point in time:
Martz takes a new job and has these tools to work with:
The natural choice would be rdent’s picks— all of which were most logicical. But in fact, that is actually an exact description of the 1999 Rams situation when Martz moved into the OC role.
Don’t you find the similarities uncanny? (which was the whole point of this exercise)
Ah, but, to be fair
The way you worded it genuinely does suggest that we’re looking at what he has to work with.
The key is "coming out of two horrible seasons—Smith has had 3 underperforming seasons.
Great job drawing some comparisons, though—it is quite the food for thought

Ah.
I totally thought you were wanting them to name current Bears. Whew. I was a little confuzzled! Lol. Nice post though, very interesting!

Very clever indeed
You’re right, the similarities are uncanny. I thought it was a trick question exercise.

i really dont understand why this is on a bears forum…i mean you made it sound like our players and then had all rams from what 99?..last i checked it was 2010..if its 99 again then crap why am i not back in junior high…damn i just realized 10 years ago i was 13…
Bring back our honey bears...sick and tired of hearing about the dallas cowboy cheerleaders and the bars they go work at when they quit. cold weather + cheerleaders in skimpy outfits = lots of fun
Huh?
You don’t understand why this is on a Bears forum?
For real?
Maybe you don’t understand because 10 years ago you were in fact just 3 not 13?
yeah thats it..
because i age twice as fast as regular humans.. i legitimately read it and thought these were bears players. thats what they sound like..no doubt you intended for it to be a trick question but it was worded in the present..

has being future or current time frame. while had would is be for the past tense.

Helluva post brotha.
I didn’t know which players were which, but I was fingering that you were talking about the Rams in comparison to where our players are at. Again, helluva post.

What?
First off, it was on purpose. Secondly, what I do in my spare… uhhhh, I meant nice weather, eh?

because if you remember correctly
Trent Green was supposed to be the starter o that team in the begining. But lost it due to injury

After rereading the whole thing again about 3 times
That is the biggest coincidence I have ever seen in my time following football.
It’s like twilight zone weird….
wow
Im impressed you saw the correlation between the two. Nice job!
Any chance we can get Vermeil as well?
Cause I’d say that’s the one area of contrast.

so that means Lovie would go back to DC right?
so were still screwed. so we will just pray they figure out how to run a 4-3 one gap defense properly with avail. personnal between now and next sept. here’s to hope if all else fails i will just buy more beer.
