Showin' Some Love for Rod Marinelli, the Bears' D-Coordinator - @Kevin_Payne

adding Peppers to the D?

thanks again for the all access

…. to hear . The players back Rod . So how much of an impact will Peppers have on you directly ? Seems to me you could be in line for a monster season there Kev !

With the upgrade to the D-line with Peppers and the return of Urlacher, how are you going to manage your free time in the defensive backfield :-)

My suggestion…play “500” with the errant throws from scrambling opposing QB’s

I’m sure you’re going to see lots more catchable balls int he secondary with Peppers bringing the heat on opposing QB’s.

it’s great to get the inside story on coaches. Knowing stuff like he’s dropping knowledge/wisdom in the hallways, even to players that weren’t in his position group is really cool to know.

that the players like him. I like listening to him, he has one of those voices where you just have to snap to and pay attention.

Also, welcome aboard.

Makes me feel real good the Bears are going out on the market to get good solid players. I am still worried about the O-line. I imagine that by getting a proven blocking TE, and Mike Martz’ schemes he will come up with the Offense will thrive. I believe that the Bears will have one of the deepest rec corps in the league. I see my boy Knox, the Devins Earl Bennett capable of breaking a big one on any given play. I suspect to offset the O-line JC will have allot of roll out plays. I bet this team is mega motivate and prime to make it to the big game.

I am stoked about the FA signings. I am thinking our D is going to be a dominant force to be reckoned with no doubt. The key thing in your post that really stuck out at me was you saying that RM motivates and makes his players better. I truly think that is what makes a great coach great. Wow, it is kind of surreal that you are on here. I hope you have a healthy and dominant season, here’s to bringing the Payne.

maybe this season we can carry that nickname MONSTERS OF THE MIDWAY.

I believe sir, and i’m not sucking up to you by stating this, i believe sr that you are the best safety on the roster right now.
My dad and I are both HUGE fans of yors. Ever since last year, we saw you put some huge hits on guys and we love how you represent your name well.
We both own your jersey and wear it on sunday.
So i look forward to seeing you earn the starting spot this year man!
