Lovie “You sure are purrrrdddyyyy Jay”

We all knew the Safety position was a fiasco. Thanks to Biggs, he recorded it for us:

The Bears have changed starting free safeties 21 times and starting strong safeties 20 times. That is 41 moves in 96 regular-season games, or one move every 2.3 games.

Last year, Lovie was all, “We like our group of safeties.” And, we knew they were junk.

We’d still have Chris Harris…. and we would’ve won a bunch more games.

… a possiable hint toward us trading up , for once . I get the feeling we’re gonna end up trading next years first rounder for someone’s first rounder this year . Hell maybe we’ll end up with Berry or Allen or Taylor Mayes . If we trade up far enough anll those guys are in play .

So we had to suffer last draft with no #1 pick. Then we screwed up worse and traded away our #2 in this draft so that we’re stuck this year without a #1 or a #2.

FINALLY next year we’ll have a full slate of draft picks…unless we do something stupid this year and try to trade up, thus being assured that we are going to have less than a full slate of picks NEXT year as well. Ridiculous.

There are two types of teams in the NFL. Teams like the Patriots, who every year seem to have about 27 draft picks. And teams like the Bears…the exact sort of team that teams like the Pats prey upon.

is looking to trade down. The Bears could put together a package if they believe there is a difference maker early.

If we get Rolle and Peppers as we seem to be targeting them, our D will be quite good.

blah, blah, blah- I don’t really say anything important, revealing, insightful, or extraordinary. I’m a puppet being controlled by the upstairs people.

“I’ll say (he should have had) five more sacks where he just didn’t wrap the guy up,” Smith said at the NFL combine. “He can still be an impact player. He will still be an impact player. Our defense is counting on him to do that.”

Linky

So you’re saying that if Tommie Harris played better football (wrap the guy up) he’d be a better football player? Let me contemplate that one while I pour myself a glass of gin and weep quietly….

using a mid-round pick as opposed to a late-round pick. Regardless, I like the term “invest”, suggesting something substantial and long term whether it is through the draft or FA.

not necessarily trade up for draft position.

and not waiting red shirting all rookies

…by saying we haven’t done well with our early picks … and THEN says he’s moving D. Manning to SS ? What’s going on ? Alfalava to FS ? Or Sharper to FS and everyone else is airlocked … ?

Thats what he was refering to. Picking a safety earlier then they’ve normally drafted one before. What an indictment that is. In a system that relies heavily on S play even more so then CB’s they keep drafting them in the 6th round.

Not sure if someone mentioned this yet but Lovie was talking about picking a Safety a little bit earlier since they’ve pretty much ignored one of the most important positions in the cover-2 in the past drafts.
