The Bears Den: April 6th, 2010 Edition

 

Bear_s-den2_medium_medium
Bears are dangerous, Willie. They'll bite your head if you're wearing steak on it.

Bears bring in 3 players for pre-draft visits - Chicago Breaking Sports A Wide Receiver and Two Defensive Tackles. Since I'd like to think the Bears probably aren't bringing in all these tackles as a smokescreen, be prepared to draft defensive line in Rounds 3-7, with the possibility of converting a 6'5, 269 lb man to Free Safety.

Bears haven't hired Ruskell --- yet - Inside the Bears - This, I think, is sort of like saying "I haven't eaten that apple pie...yet." Everybody on the planet is fairly confident you're going to eat the pie, you might as well just eat the pie.

Shaw determined to build on his success - NFL's top special teams tackler last year. And he missed a week. Just go do that again.

Wait. Stop. Do you hear that? Sounds like...a bird chirping...no...it's kind of a tweet tweet sound...I know! It's WCG on Twitter! Quick, go follow it!

Star-divide

Ex-Bear Brown to visit Saints on Tuesday - Chicago Breaking Sports - New Orleans would be a great fit. It appears our friends at Canal Street Chronicles want him, as they used your comments about how much you don't like the move as some reasoning (Go check 'em out)

Pompei: Bulger would be ideal Bears' backup QB - Chicago Breaking Sports - Knows the coordinator, knows the system, makes perfect sense, right?

Bulger a fit for the Bears? - Bears Blog - ESPN Chicago - But does Bulger still think he's starting material? Can he be somewhere? He won't get that chance with Jay C. here.

NFL.com Blogs " Blog Archive Hall of Famer Kelly impressed with Tebow - Jim Kelly, who has what sounds like one of the more awesome jobs in the NFL (Ambassador for the Bills, which is super-cool, except for the Bills part), likes Tebow, but he doesn't like him first-round. Maybe Second Round. Definitely not first. Unless he throws well in some kind of practice setting. 

And finally--Wilbur Marshall ruins Joe Ferguson's day. (Real time hit @ 1:20, better looking replays at 1:48, 2:13)

A great way to start the day!

Da Coach talks about it here (starting at 3:40) – “Marshall was… (shakes head)… man, was he… I can still see the lick he put on Joe Ferguson of Detroit, I’d never seen anything like it. I thought he’d killed him.”

Would Bulger be content as a back up?

Doubtful.

Though I think he’ll find quickly that he doesn’t have much choice.

I doubt it

But as Kev said he might not have much choice. He’s made of glass and only had 1 good season post Martz. Could be a nice veteran presence. I think the Cards will look at him if they aren’t content with Leinhart or Anderson. I think the Rams are screwing up taking a QB over Suh or McCoy. QB is such a crapshoot and either Claussen or Bradford really impresses me to the point where I’m like “He’s going to be good right away and for a long time.”

Stafford really didn't strike me that way coming out

But he seemed to have a decent year for a rookie last year. Like you said, it’s a crapshoot.

Chevelle and Three Days Grace??? Fuc*ing AWESOME!!!

lol

How would you like to be Eric Hipple, coming into that game, right after seeing what happened to the guy you’re replacing? :)

by Virto on Apr 6, 2010 9:22 AM CDT reply actions  

If that play happened today...

just how much of a penalty would be levied against the bears and how big of a fine would Marshall get for lowering his head to lead with his helmet and roughing the passes? I love the hit, just a shame that the NFL has made the game so soft. I understand why they did, player safety and carreer longevity, but I still love watching old games to see the insane hits and punishment delivered and received.

AB: "Shoot, over the last four, five years I have been so close to having the magical number everyone looks for as far as sacks (10)."

Huh? Wasn’t he a 5-6 a year guy? You’re still the best DE on the market right now AB, no need to get loose with the definition of “close”.

by SaintCee on Apr 6, 2010 10:03 AM CDT reply actions  

A lot closer than Mark Anderson has been recently

Chuck Norris once met Dick Butkus and had a very odd feeling come over him. Chuck later realized it was fear

by BearNecessities on Apr 6, 2010 10:08 AM CDT up reply actions  

But not as close as a 7 sack a year guy :P

And yes, Anderson’s stunk it up. But he’s one of the apples of Lovie’s eye.

by SaintCee on Apr 6, 2010 10:16 AM CDT up reply actions  

Brown did overstep a little bit

but he’s been consistently closer to 10 sacks a year, than anyone else on the Bears…is prolly what he meant to say

That was awesome. Lol.

I’m also surprised at how quickly Perry was going, especially at his size. You can tell he wasn’t just big – he was in shape.

He had a pretty good vertical leap, I seem to recall.

And then there was this goalline leap (starts at 4:10) which nobody was going to stop and could have caused a fatality if anyone had been under him when he landed, and a 50yd fumble return (watch from 0:49) which rivals Keith Traylor’s legendary interception return :-D

Tremendous video clip

it was great to hear Johnny Morris doing the commentary. For those of you who are old enough to remember, the old “Mike Ditka Show” with Johnny and Jeannie Morris were hilarious to watch. Johnny and Mike used to go at it all the time because they were old friends from their playing days. Johnny was probably the only sportscaster who would never take any crap from Da Coach. That show was the basis for a lot of the material for the SNL Super Fans skits. Classic Bears memories.

That was an awesome hit by Wilbur!

I wonder how much he’d be fined for that hit in today’s game.

by boondock_saint812 on Apr 6, 2010 11:00 AM CDT reply actions  

and Joe Buck's commentary would be vomit inducing

" That’s just disgusting, there’s no place in today’s NFL for that kind of recklessness. How am I going to perform felatio on quarterbacks if they’re unconscious. Truly a revolting display from the classless Bears."

Perform fellatio...

You’re quite the cunning linguist!

If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.

I think the Saints are a good fit for Alex Brown

I’m confident he’d do well there.

And thanks Kev for the heads up, regarding the Canal Street Chronicles.

Kinda neat how they used our comments.

by rdent4hof on Apr 6, 2010 11:24 AM CDT reply actions  

Yeah.

I thought people would be interested to know some other people read their words.
