Thats how you run on the goal line

Seriously, it boggles my mind how much of a bitch Benson looks like on the goal line sometimes.

This is why no matter how many guys we are hesitant about, we always have Urlacher.

Its the exact same 5 guys that were blocking for Thomas Jones last year.

Rex was just helping former Chicago native Walt Harris out

Why cant we play San Fran every week?

Not at all. I have been skeptical of Benson since day 1. IMO he plays with no heart and hasnt showed me anything that leads me to believe he can be a feature back.

Actually. I would much rather have Manning or Davis back there than Berrian, we dont need him getting injured.

Walker is looking good too. It will be nice having DT depth after Harris

Why the hell did he call for a fair catch

What was Bradley doing there?

Benson is such a Sally

Id rather Harris sit out than risk any chance of getting re injured. It is unnerving to be told one thing and have another happen about the injury.

Im just glad my power came back on in time for me to watch this game.

So let me know if I have this correct. Drew Stanton>>>>>>>>Brian Griese>>Every other NFL qb>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rex Grossman>>>>>>>>Steve Spurrier?

So then shouldnt Eli Manning be better than pretty much every other qb in the NFL?

I dont think his speed is really an issue. Hes never gonna be a speed rusher. He needs to learn how to read defenses and pick up blitzes. He also doesnt seem to play with any passion. Hopefully Im wrong about him but I dont think hes ready to be a feature back.

I still dont understand the relevance of what Grossman is doing now and Steve Spurrier. Nobody is saying Grossman is good because he is form Florida and played under Spurrier. With this logic shouldnt Brian Griese be just as good as Tom Brady because they both played at Michigan under Lloyd Carr?

Grossman also got rocked once because Benson missed a chip block

I am concerned about how Grossman will adjust to minimize turnovers, but I definitely dont want Griese in there.

Step 2. Step 1 is getting your equipment on.

Bailey>pretty much everybody

Yes Kansas City is a playoff team. Let me rephrase it. The first three games are against teams that made the playoffs last season.

I think theyre much improved and if they stay healthy they have just as good a shot as anybody, but Im not ready to say theyre unbeatable. The first three games are against playoff teams so we'll have a good idea how good we are early.

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – Mike Brown and Adam Archuleta have only been Bears teammates for a few months, but it seems like the veteran safeties have played together for years. “Communication-wise we don’t have to make it obvious with things we’re doing,” Brown said. “We can just look at each other and pretty much know what each other’s doing. That’s the good thing about teaming up with someone who knows the system. We know each other’s body movements already.” Adam Archuleta gives the Bears defense another talented and experienced veteran. Acquiring Archuleta in a March trade with the Washington Redskins allowed the Bears to form one of the NFL’s top safety tandems. A converted college linebacker, Archuleta is a hard-hitting strong safety who excels in run support close to the line of scrimmage. With Bears coach Lovie Smith serving as Rams defensive coordinator during Archuleta’s first three NFL seasons, the Arizona State product started 12 games and helped St. Louis reach the Super Bowl as a rookie in 2001 before recording career highs with 116 tackles in 2002 and five sacks in 2003. With Archuleta’s arrival, Brown has moved back to free safety, a position he played early in his career. The 5-10, 207-pounder is one of the Bears’ most irreplaceable players—he’s a team leader who holds the franchise record with seven career defensive TDs. “They’re both experienced players and they understand what it takes to win,” said defensive coordinator Bob Babich. “When one of them does a good thing, the other one feeds off it, and they’re just in a groove right now playing together.” Archuleta teamed with perennial Pro Bowl free safety Aeneas Williams in St. Louis from 2001-04 but has been seeking a regular partner ever since. “I’ve had a lot of free safeties line up next to me in the last few years,” Archuleta said. “I’ve never really had a steady guy. It’s always been a guy who’s been plugged in. But [brown] is a pro. He can do it all.” Archuleta is excited about playing with Brown, who possesses the ability to both blitz and defend the run at strong safety and the range and ball skills to excel at free safety. “Mike is different because he can do a lot of stuff,” Archuleta said. “He can go in the box and blitz whereas in the past I played with free safeties in St. Louis that weren’t able to do that. When I played with Aeneas, he always stayed back. Mike’s different. He’s very well-rounded. He played my position for two years and played it very well. We’re very interchangeable.” Teaming with Archuleta has made Brown’s job easier. “It’s been awesome,” he said. “Our communication has been good. He’s a really good football player. It makes it a lot easier knowing that he knows what he’s doing and he’s doing it at a high level. It’s been real easy.” With the free safety responsible for aligning the defensive backs and the strong safety also called upon to provide pre-snap reads and instructions, the rapport between the two players is crucial. “It’s real important,” Archuleta said. “It’s very important to be on the same page and communicating. I know he’s got my back and hopefully he knows I’ve got his back. The more time you can spend on the field with the other safety, it’s invaluable.” Coach Lovie Smith is glad to have two seasoned pros as his last line of defense. “It means quite a bit,” Smith said. “We ask a lot of our secondary guys. They have to make a lot of adjustments. Both of them are good football players. They’re football smart, too. They both know the defense extremely well. We’re expecting big plays from both of them.” Archuleta felt comfortable teaming with Brown in last Saturday night’s preseason-opening win over the Texans and knows that their cohesiveness will only grow stronger. “We’re on the right track,” Archuleta said. “I think we’re getting better and better. I felt good about [lining up with] him against Houston. It’s just a matter of having fun and playing good ball during the season.”
