Poll: Who will lead Chicago in receptions?

 

Wcg_thumb_poll_medium

Much has been made about Mike Martz, the new playbook, and the receiving corps.  It's a subject that's been kind of a ‘go to' here on WCG since he was hired.  I know I've touched on it my fair share of times, but I try and always bring a different aspect or put a different spin on it so as to keep it as fresh as I can. 

As recently as two weeks ago I looked at the two starting receivers (so far) in an X's and O's type post.  A while back I looked at the breakdown in terms of receptions for his past offenses.  Fellow WCG writers Jacob Hayes put odds on which wide out will break out in 2010, and in a really poignant post, Mike Mueller pointed out how frequent Martz QB's (in Detroit and San Francisco) targeted the slot receivers.

So this week, I'll put it to a poll.  Who do you think will lead the Bears in receptions in 2010?

Star-divide

In my opinion it comes down to the top 4 wide receivers as the leading candidates to lead the team in receptions.  While I think tight end Greg Olsen will have a prominent place in the offense, I don't think he'll lead them in catches. 

In Martz's 10 years calling offensive plays a WR has led them in catches 8 times, with a running back (Marshall Faulk) leading them the other two years.  And since I don't see a future Hall of Famer on the roster, and Matt Forte will be splitting time with Chester Taylor, I don't see a back leading the Bears in receptions.

Which leaves the receivers.  De facto #1 Devin Hester is a sure bet to move all around the offense, to take advantage of mismatches.  Fellow starter Johnny Knox is primed for a solid sophomore campaign.  Just for comparisons sake, Torry Holt grabbed 52 balls his rookie year.  Knox had 45.  Holt jumped to 82 the following year, so is it that out there to think Knox is capable of 70?

Devin "The Extrapolation Sensation" Aromashodu had a great finish to the '09 season, and has at least one source thinking he'll be the go to receiver.  All 4 fantasy football experts at Yahoo! Sports is thinking D.A. will be the Bears top receiving threat.

And I don't think you can count out familiar Jay Cutler target Earl Bennett.  He had a knack of coming down with the tough catch last year.  And even though his practice reps have been limited coming off his surgery, the coaches have already been impressed with his work so far.

An injury could open up an opportunity for Rashied Davis (did I just type that?) or Juaquin Iglesias (who's drawing Moose Muhammad comparisons), but my guess is one of those top four receivers leading the team in catches.  But which one...

If my Madden franchise is any indication of DA's ability,

and it isn’t, then we can easily expect him to lead the league in receptions.

Interesting to see DA leading so far

and he isn’t even running with the starters

with Hester at the Z… with Knox as the 3rd WR

wishful thinking I suspect

if DA ends up being the top receiver, then the Bears passing game was really good.

I voted for Bennett because I am not yet drinking the DA koolaid, Hester and Knox are big play guys but Bennett is the move the chains guy. More balls will be thrown his way than the others.

I voted for Hester

But as a whole our receivers are pretty light weight and have a tendency to get beat down over the course of a season but if Devin Hester is healthy all year i would bank on him leading the team in catches this season.

by Chitownproduct on Jun 15, 2010 12:01 PM CDT reply actions  

Tough to say at this point

I abstained from the poll.

If this was Vegas odds, I’d probably say DA would net 3-to-2 odds with most fans.

However, I think by the nature of the offense you could see any receiver hovering around 70+ receptions, including 2008 receptions team leader MATT FORTE.

I think Hester will get the most yards by nature of what I see hime being able to do in the offense. Knox seems to be a Torry Holt type receiver with much more speed. All reports are saying that Knox is running really good routes thus far in camp. DA is the big receiver type that Cutler likes and was his favorite target late in the season. Forte will be coming out of the backfield and is hard to tackle. Earl Bennett and Cutler set SEC records.

<> I think it’s a good & tough question.

If I had to choose, I’d go with Matt Forte.

with Forte spliting time

I see him more around 40-50… I wouldn’t be surprised to see the backs account for 80-90 receptions

I dunno, Les Jr.

… In a 5-year window under Mike Martz, Marshall Faulk caught: 86, 87, 81, 83, and 80.

Kevin Smith caught 61 passes in just 12 games under Martz in 2006.

While I think Chester Taylor will get carries and touches of the football, I still see a Jerry Angelo “2nd round pick” getting the majority of the carries and reps especially considering Angelo’s picks have to show merit and resolve at this stage of their NFL careers (Olsen, Hester, Forte, etc) for Angelo’s sake.

Semper Fi

by ChicagoMarine on Jun 15, 2010 1:31 PM CDT up reply actions  

Plus...

… Matt Forte is the more fluid receiving back out of the backfield.

Taylor is a strong running back who runs strong and is a solid blocker. He can catch the ball out of the backfield, but his strength is running hard in between tackles.

I think one of the major benefits of Chester Taylor to the Bears besides the obvious of having another above-average RB on roster is the fact that he improves their 3rd down conversion percentage that you have mentioned in past articles being an area of concern for the Bears in the past two seasons.

I see him complimenting Forte; not taking carries away from him.

True.

But, I don’t think they brought him in to upseat their draft pick either.

Money paid to Chester was two-fold:

1.) You find a TRUE compliment running back that gives you a top tier one-two punch on offense.

2.) You hurt your division rival— Bernard Berrian was overpaid when he signed with the Vikings, because the Vikings were looking to improve their inexperienced WR unit and probably knew that Berrian could have improved the Bears offense marginally in 2008 (that’s debateable; but certainly not out of the realm of truth).

All things constant, I think by years end Forte sees about 70% of the reps and you get 20-25% to Taylor with 5% edged out to Wolfe.

Something like that was the plan

with Kevin Jones before he was injured and Taylor is a more accomplished player

by Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. on Jun 15, 2010 4:29 PM CDT up reply actions  

Are you speaking of 2008?

Because, Forte saw 310+ touches that year. I think Jones was somewhere around 30 or 40 carries in a full season.

Jones was never going to see more carries than Forte in 2008 and I highly doubt you would have seen anything significantly different in 2009.

I understand what you are saying about Taylor being MORE than capable of handling a significant amount of carries if asked (I agree), but I don’t see that being what Jerry Angelo wants for his developing 2nd round draft pick if he is healthy.

I think Taylor was a business move just as much as he was a talent upgrade for the offense.

by ChicagoMarine on Jun 16, 2010 10:26 AM CDT up reply actions  

last year before he was hurt

the plan was to have him take some of the load so Forte wouldn’t get overworked like he was as a rookie

No in 2008 he was still recovering from his injuries

and rarely saw the field… he even asked to play on special teams so he could contribute towards the end of the season.

He worked hard and was resigned for 2009 because he wanted to stay a Bear.

Here is a WCG story about him, Ron Turner was talking him up as a guy that could spell Forte to keep him fresher. Jones looked real good in camp and if it wasn’t for the freak injury in preseason he was slated to have an increased workload.

Taylor is not the first option for the Bears

He will compliment the running game— for sure! But, he won’t upseat a Jerry Angelo draft pick.

He will get the opportunity to get 70 receptions this year. Going on record with that one.

Semper Fi

by ChicagoMarine on Jun 16, 2010 10:28 AM CDT up reply actions  

didn't say or imply Taylor was the 1st option

I said Forte will get fewer touches because Taylor will get a lot reps, too, so unless Taylor gets hurt, thereby forcing Forte to be on the field most of the time, Forte will not get enough touches to lead the team in catches. As I said below, Taylor and Forte combined will probably have more catches than any single receiver.

First option as priority to get maximun number of reps

I totally understand the logic in what you’re saying, but as I said earlier, I can’t see Angelo allowing a 60-40 split (i.e.— Bears carried the ball 373x in 2009; Forte would have 223 and Taylor would have 150) between his young draft pick and a 30+ guy on a front-loaded 2 year contract.

Will he take some reps? Certainly!

Will it be any more significant than in year’s past? Injury aside…

… I don’t see it.

But, Hey? I could most certainly be proven wrong. I just hope for ALL of our sake we are arguing POSITIVE gains off of these reps and not attempts in futility. haha!

A better take on the RB situation

Angelo got Taylor to take a good chunk of the workload off Forte, keeping each man fresher and therefore more productive.

You must have read Les Jr. reply above.

Listen, I have no doubt that TAaylor will get some tick and will be used in combination with Forte…

… But, I have little reservation that you will see a significant drop in carries for Matt Forte in 2010. Significant in the guise of a 60-40 split. That would be like both RBs getting about 200 carries. Jerry Angelo will not allow for his draft pick to NOT be on the field for the majority of the game. Won’t happen.

Taylor didn’t get a huge portion of reps in Minny, so to expect anything different here is not looking at it from the business & management side either.

Semper Fi

by ChicagoMarine on Jun 17, 2010 11:28 AM CDT up reply actions  

Angelo acquired both RBs so I just don't see your point

Taylor was brought in to share the load with Forte because they saw how much Forte’s performance fell off last season after being so heavily used his rookie year. It may not end up being a 60-40 split, but it will be close. Using Forte and Taylor that way will make them both much more productive, and the Bears’ offense more productive, which is why Angelo set up this way.

Just because Taylor has a front-loaded two year deal, doesn't mean there is a shift in priority.

Remember, LDR…

… Angelo and Smith have to win now.

Grabbing Taylor from the Vikings weakened their rival, strengthened their offensive talent, provided options if Forte gets hurt like last year, and gives you a legitimate one-two punch.

However, for development and business purposes…

… Angelo NEEDS his 2008 draft class to show some merit in their 3rd season.

He has had such an awful track record in drafts (as I’m sure you know) that this year is really a year where he needs to have some “concrete” answers as far as personnel is concerned.

Semper Fi

by ChicagoMarine on Jun 18, 2010 5:38 PM CDT up reply actions  

Actually what Angelo really needs is a Super Bowl team

how he acquired Forte and Taylor is secondary to winning. He got Taylor to improve the offense, and he cannot improve the offense if he does not play.

that kind of split will allow the team to get the best out of both guys. They got Taylor to share the load with Forte, not to back him up, so unless Taylor gets hurt or is a bust, he will get significant playing time.

Bennett is a possession receiver, good size, runs great patterns, and has a long time rapport with Jay going all the way back to their college days.
They clicked big time last year and will be even better this year.

 … there will be a lot of underneath stuff to Bennett (and/or Olsen) along with flairs to the RB’s while rolling out to evade the rush.

Hester and Knox will hit the long ball and make big yardage plays. Defenses will play against them hoping to keep them from taking it to the house with burning speed.

DA and Bennet will be the ones moving the chains, making the tough grabs and pulling it down in goal-line scenarios.

People will have to decide if they want to press Hester and Knox and keep us from hitting home runs. We can dink and dunk all the way down the field if they do.

Among the WRs though Bennet will be the possesion/slot receiver that will accumulate the highest amount of catches of the group.
However, if Hester gets used in the slot even a little bit, he will dominate and rack up the most receptions regardless of position.

Cutler to DA

All us die-hards noticed last preseason that Aromashdu looked like he had quite a bit of potential. As the season progressed even Jay was vocalizing about how he wanted to see more of DA on the field, as in on Sundays and not just practices, and as soon as they did put him out they he impressed us and Cutler showed that he had confidence in throwing to the guy. Look for DA to be that top receiver next year and hopefully for many more seasons to come.
