My life isn't complete
until we can get back to the period where I can here about J. Iglesias every week. Specifically, “OMGWTF HE TORED IT UP DURING TRANING CAMP. WHY ISN”T HE PLAYING HE"S OUR BEST RECEEEVER GARBLEGARBLEYGARBLEGOR"

didnt cutler talk up DA last year too?
and he didn’t really see the field til the end… maybe they’ll listen this time
Chuck Norris once met Dick Butkus and had a very odd feeling come over him. Chuck later realized it was fear

I think DA comes in with every opportunity to unseat Hester or Bennett in the starting lineup.
I hope Hester gets moved to the slot or #3 spot, but until its official, he’s still the “#1”.

I think DA becomes the defacto #1 option for JC
and prolly posts a very strong season, along with Knox as a deep threat. which should do well to quell the nay-sayers

I see Hester
being the biggest benefactor of playing in Martz’s scheme. Unless of course Knox plays the slot over him.

You know what I like
is that you have Martz saying “Hester should return kicks and play slot WR….He makes a great slot receiver….”
Then Lovie turning around and saying “Oh no Hester will start…He is a great WR peroid….”
Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos. Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!

That's why DA is still a backup until he CLEARLY out plays Hester
Lovie then will have no choice but to bench Hester. If its close, then Hester will remain the starter.

Dont you believe
B&B and think that in the end Martz will tell Lovie to let him run his offense and go fetch him a cup of coffee ? I mean Turner pretty much ran his offense and started/played whom he wanted…..
If we are to listen to Martz it will be DA and Knox starting with Bennett and Hester splitting time at the slot…..
Guess we will see what happens when training camp starts….Should be interesting….Wonder if Martz wears out Lovie and Lovie fires him before the season starts (like all those OC last year. Course all those teams went on to win like 4 games as well)….

People
They’re going to be running 3-4 WR sets all the time, so it’s not like most if not all the WRs get playing time.

To the players you better believe who's #1 on the depth chart matters.
I personally think it should be DA. I just don’t think Lovie will see it that way. My confidence in him is way below Q, below Ozzie & Lou, and slightly above Del Negro in the “pantheon” of current Chicago coaching competence.

Nice
I really don’t think it matters much on Sundays, cause it’s just a “status” and not really going to affect who’s playing- merit will be the judge in this regard.

But can he crouch down, grab a kicking tee, and switch directions?
Or jump out of a pool?

Alan Faneca's people haven't heard from the Bears...
… And they WON’T hear from the Bears!
That’s because I don’t think the Bears were ever interested in Faneca to begin with. Just like the NY Jets, who were willing to eat $7.5 million to rid themselves of his services. Faneca is probably a good backup, but his pass defense in 2009 was horrendous.
No thanks, Faneca’s agent!

The Sun Times
says that the Bears probably won’t go after Faneca.
Justin Smiley is probably going to get released by the Dolphins, and probably is a better player than Faneca at this point anyway. I’d like to see them go that direction.
DEJESUS!!!
Lot of
injury concerns with smiley though from what I understand…..
As of right now according to Dickerson Lance Louis was seeing time as the starting LG….

Angelo can't with a straight face go into
the season with Louis/Beekman at guard, particularly after he so publically talked about upgrading.
DEJESUS!!!
Well I agree
if he (or they) were comfortable with what they had they would not have tried to trade for sims….
Guess it comes down to who they can get cheaper…..That should please Cutler eh?

How many of them are from Florida?

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad.
Surprised? Impressed?
No, no.
But I’m happy for the Tebow lovers.
Just to note
I am not a tebow lover/follower….However I do think he will be a decent to solid QB….

One thing is certain
Tebow will put the work in.
And often that’s enough.
IMHO, his lack of accuracy is his biggest hurdle.
haha!
That guy will be a good QB in time!
