Running still key to Chicago Bears, even under Mike Martz - Hahahahahahaha. Yeah ok, whatever guys. I agree, it's key, because the receivers are going to have to run their routes to precision.
LeFevour's base deal worth $1.9M, $2.63M max - I'm fairly certain that the Easy Button at Staples can get you a clipboard holder for a much better deal.
Don't expect Chicago to host Super Bowl - You know that feeling when you're sitting on the west side of the stadium, and that lake wind comes in and punches you in the face and it feels like it's about 300 degrees cooler than it actually is? Apparently, there's a lot of people who aren't willing to pay $3,000 for that feeling. Oh, and something about not having enough seats.
Rankings: Are Cowboys ready to finally make a playoff run? - No. On a side note, this is about the weakest way to rank teams I've ever seen. It's basically "take all the teams that were good last year, and rank them in a higher group."
Supreme Court denies NFL's request for broad antitrust protection - The NFL teams must sell hats separately.
Vick not content as Eagles' backup QB, vows to be a starter in NFL - Does anyone remember playing Madden circa 06, 07, when there were always the d-bags who would play as the Falcons just because Michael Vick was fast enough that very few of the defensive players could catch him? Then they'd do these ridiculous wide bootlegs, and if you blitzed the cornerback on the side that they favored rolling out to, you could make him fumble really easily? Good times.
Here's how you can tackle someone, provided you ever need to tackle someone who is standing perfectly still. Extra Analysis: That dude is totally going to cough the ball up.

Great video, one question though...
Is that Rex Grossman’s Midget Football Camp? I mean seriously they are all about as tall as an Ompa Loompa.
BearNecessities you're my assistant, okay you're supposed to
back me up and go get me juice boxes when I tell you. Now go get me
a juice box.
I’ve often thought how awesome it would be to have two teams of midgets playing each other. Any sport would be worth watching.

Hey, a little sensitivity here. They prefer to be called little people or dwarfs.
That being said, it would be more fun than watching the Raiders play the Browns.
They have midget wrestling,
on occasion, at the Charleston Riverdogs games.

I didn't know that
I live in Charleston, SC now and didn’t know that about the midgets. I’ll have to keep my eye open on that one haha

They are making midget wrestling show on Spike.

I can't stand fair-weather/bandwagon fans, stick with your team, throughout the good and the bad. And don't switch to whichever team wins the Super Bowl each year.
and I'll be setting the DVR

They have midget MMA at a bar in Tampa.
They even have a little cage and everything.

Matt Bowen on how to beat the Tampa 2. No mention of the D beating themselves by having the corners sit a loooong way off the line of scrimmage when it’s a short 1st down.

My tactic
Blitz the cornerback of the side they favor rolling out too, control the opposite defensive end. That way you box them in for the corner to take them out.

Yeah that is a good strategy too if you have fast cornerbacks that can tackle...
I guess it depends on your defensive strengths of whatever team you’re using. Using the Ravens works really well, especially if you’re playing a guy that uses Adrian Peterson and runs outside nonstop. I’ll use the 46 defense and go wild with the blitz’s.
Um
I only play as the Bears. Duh.

Playing with the Bears against the Colts on Madden 10 is the most...
difficult and frustrating challenge. Especially when some 13 year old is using calling play action on you nonstop and tossing it up to Dallas Clark… it makes you want to throw your controller around.
Not if you're good.
Just sayin’….

I liked that Tice likes the o-line
But isn’t a bit early to say the guys are up to the job when you still haven’t seen them in pads? The lines are the positions where the coaches shouldn’t be answering questions about until camp, other than hitting dummies there is no way to tell how the line will play. Am I wrong?
"I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw. And he said, 'That would be Red Grange.' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain. And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards.' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay.' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing. Red Grange is 75 years old.' - Chris Berman

I have confidence in Tice that he will take what players we have and...
will actually develop their skills. I think the O line has a lot of potential athletically, they just need the tutoring from a guru like Tice… and for Jebus’s sake please stop moving the linemen out of position. The line cannot gell and work as a unit if we’re playing musical chairs.
It's good for the psyche
of the players for Tice to come out and express his confidence in ther line. It’s good for my mental well being to hear it too. He can’t very well come out and say, “We need to revamp the whole line, A couple of guards and tackles, maybe a center and then we’ll see what he have”.
Tillman has not been himself since injuries back in 2007.
He never was a great covering CB, but he had decent speed and tackled exceptionally well (much needed in a C2/T2).
I’ve always been one to believe that he would have been a great FS, but the money is at CB— so, I understand why he never sought to be moved.
I’m glad he’ll be at the LCB. It’ll take a little pressure off of him.
Bowman has to step up now. I’m encouraged that he will.

Nice video!
You’d be surprised how many HS teams teach splitting the ball carrier and putting the head in the chest. I’ve always been a head across, facemask on the ball when possible guy myself.

so true...
he’s been telling us personally since Day 1. So scoop that, Chicago Tribune.
I think the papers in Chicago read up WCG from time to time to get fresh (for them) story ideas.

I like the CB switch.
Peanut goes to the side with the fast yet inexperienced safety and Bowman goes to the side with the slower more experienced safety.
Assuming of course...
Wright starts at FS and Harris at SS
In HS
When we did our tackling drills we were always told to put our facemasks in the other persons chest.
I’m not sure if that is the “correct” way of tackling someone, but it definately works
Do or do not there is not try-Master Yoda
Saves the head and neck injuries by using this technique vice
the facemask to the chest. I don’t think either way is wrong, one safer than the other absolutely.

I was coached the same way
I don’t think this is the technique being still being employed though. Some equate that technique (erroneously IMO) with spearing.

If there's ever a question on tackling,
just ask the expert… LINK

didn't come into vogue
until face masks were widely used. I remember my Dad teaching to drive my shoulder into the guy. Later, my Pop Warner coaches and my HS coaches taught to lead with the mask.

Kev, I believe the Dolphins are hiring for an HR person.
… like a turnstile or your mom, and spins quickly for anyone
I believe this makes you qualified.
