At least Peppers is going to
bring excitement back to this team. It will make the defense more confident and maybe we will make the playoffs.
Not going to happen...
Forte’s receiving ability will trump his deficit rushing. The guy is a fantastic receiver and a great blocker.

If we get chesterized
I say we trade forte for 1st or 2nd and spell kahill behind Chester for a few years/buy time with CHester.
No point in having a RB with no line. That can be addressed with the picks from forte

Which…I wonder what that is. 3rd round pick? 2nd? What do you think he’s worth?
Olsen plus a 3rd and 5th round plus maybe next year's 2nd (or even just third)

Just curious
who is the best beat writer to follow for the Chicago Bears?
by LoveForTheGame on Mar 5, 2010 12:10 AM CST up reply actions
I follow
Biggs, Zaidman, McClure, Dickerson, and Mullin…..out of them Bigss probably the best…..think he has all kinds of sources for Bears stuff…IIRC he broke the Cutler trade like an hour before anyone else….

biggest glaring hole
…in the defense. No doubt. I said last year that we should use our top draft pick to take the best safety possible.
Angelo disagreed.
Of course defense is a huge hole...
When out of the last 27 players you drafted on D, only 1 of them is a starter.

Boldin is better than Olson
I would only trade Olson if we have a chance at a top flight WR
by LoveForTheGame on Mar 5, 2010 12:11 AM CST up reply actions
Well don't we have a third round pick to trade to the Cardinals
We need Boldin then our offense would be insanely fun to watch, especially with Taylor coming in. If only we had an offensive line…
by LoveForTheGame on Mar 5, 2010 12:14 AM CST up reply actions
The thing with Bolden is you have to sign him to a contract this year.
I don’t know how much the Bears can afford to swallow.
Agreed
I was talking with my friend tonight, and we were discussing how it’s Martz’s responsibility to make him an intrical part in the offense.
''I'm really not a Facebook or Twitter guy. I'm a prime rib and baked potato guy.'' - Sweet Lou
I think Martz is smart enough to figure something out for Olsen
at least have Tice spend some time with him
thing is
Olsen does not want to block….
As for martz he compared Olsen to ernie conwell, a blocking TE….but then said he wanted Olsen to play a role in his offense….what ever that means….guess we will see…

Good point

Maybe the McCaskey's kept JA and Lovie strictly because of their contracts...
They might fire them anyways, who knows
Umm...
Option B is definitely worse.
''I'm really not a Facebook or Twitter guy. I'm a prime rib and baked potato guy.'' - Sweet Lou
agree
There is something bittersweet in all this. If these signings come to pass, and they work out, then yes…we are stuck with Angelo/Lovie for God-knows-how-long. And if they don’t work out, then we get a new GM/coach but are royally screwed over with contracts (especially if the new CBA re-institutes the salary cap).
Can you say…damned if you do, damned if you don’t?
Buenas noches people

Seems like it ...
… but why are you not high on Peppers ?
by MidWayMonster54 on Mar 5, 2010 12:34 AM CST up reply actions
Because we're going to overpay him,
he’s already 30, and he’s had an attitude/work ethic problem for quite some time. I’m not denying that he’s a freakish talent, but I hate tying up that kind of cash for a guy with baggage who’s never happy. I’d rather go after someone like Kampman, and still have room to pursue Rolle and possibly some others.

Well...time will tell if your prediction
comes to pass…be curious to see how Rod handles Peppers (even though he is not the D-Line coach anymore).

I hope it works, I'm just worried it's gonna blow up in our face.

"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
Always a chance that happens...
But what do you base acquisitions on? The possibility that they might go bad? We’d never sign anyone, then. And by most accounts, Peppers is the best in FA, and will make the biggest splash.

I hope he gets here and gets his head straight.
As much as a lot of us don’t like him, a lot of players seem to love Playing for Lovie, so maybe it will work better for him. I’m just worried that we’re gonna end up with one side of the D-line with a ton of talent, and not much ambition to go with it.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
remember, though...
that ambition and happiness aren’t exactly the same thing. The guy has only 2 seasons in which he didn’t record double digit sack numbers.

looks like it...
Considering that every expert out there is calling him the most valuable free agent on the market, and that he is going to make the biggest impact of all the FA signing, I can see why everyone is excited.
Is he a guarantee? Nope, but is any player a guarantee?
in•san•i•ty \in-ˈsa-nə-tē\ noun
1 : The act of doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results.
actually
I’m somewhat ambivalent. At his best, he’s a beast. But his reputation for taking plays off (and, LOTS of plays off) worries me. If he turned down $14m a year from Carolina, then you know we are paying him more than that.
So ya, I’m half optimstic and half worried. Kinda like I was with Cutler, and to be honest, based on last year’s performance…I think the worries about him were well-founded.
To be fair...
It’s not like he hasn’t been getting paid, already, and he has been a consistent performer. All that talk is just that….talk.
81 sacks in 8 years. That says a lot more to me than some talking head.
in•san•i•ty \in-ˈsa-nə-tē\ noun

Don't care...
how pissy he is, as long as he plays as well as he did in CAR while he was pissy. He might have bitched, but I haven’t read anything about him causing locker room issues, so who cares?

For the record i'm pretty sure Peppers has double digit sacks
in every year he has played 16 games.
almost....
2003 he played 16 and had 7 sacks.
he played 14 in 2007 and only had 2.5
But, in his 8 years, those are the only two seasons that he didn’t record double digits…..
in•san•i•ty \in-ˈsa-nə-tē\ noun
1 : The act of doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results.
True
Though that statement neglects 2007, when he only had 2.5 sacks in 14 games. Certainly wouldn’t have gotten 7.5 sacks in those extra two games
not true....
see above……2003 16 starts 7 sacks.
in•san•i•ty \in-ˈsa-nə-tē\ noun

Or maybe ....
…. someone else on the D-line might show up and register some friggin sacks !
by MidWayMonster54 on Mar 5, 2010 12:52 AM CST up reply actions
Yeah, and I was also thinking...
it might not be a bad idea to pick up a couple extra FA’s for the DL to help out the rotation. No big names, maybe a couple of older players on the cheap for 10-15 plays a game wouldn’t hurt. Maybe get Phillip Daniels back, or guys of his ilk (older, but still warrior types.)

If Omiyale can perform at RT, we should be ok at the tackle spot.
I’m worried more about the interior line.
"The time has come to get deeply into Football. It is the only thing we have left that ain't fixed." - HST
I actually think this line can be OK...
At guard, Beekman started for us in 08, and Omiyale got better at the end of the season, so I think we can at least be serviceable there. And at tackle, Shaffer was a decent starter in Cleveland who was a cap casualty, and Omiyale is a better RT than LG. I’d like to see some players brought in to improve the line, especially ar LG, but I think we can do pretty well with the line we have. And Tice is going to improve these guys, also. I’m not saying they make the pro-bowl, but they will work out if we have to go as-is.

Yeah, I'd prefer to see Beekman at guard

The diffrenece is those teams
are able to generate a pass rush from their front 4 without over-blitzing, while for whatever reason we couldn’t. That in itself is death to the cover 2.
