Blowin it on linking the image.....Sligblade and the Nate Vasher thumb associated with his comments on the 08 defense on chicagobears.com

We already have enough fatherless children who draw support from Bears. NOPE

If only more reporters had to own up.

If I were playing Madden...this is what I would do. Which is why it makes little sense in the real world. I do really like the draft you put together NFO.

Im sure he is already wearing something that keeps him feeling dry when he has an accident.

I may have missed it....but I dont see a reference for Denver drafting OT. Their LT Lepsis is retiring and they draft ahead of us.

Another angle is that if Williams were to step in and look at least as good...his payday shrinks. Based on last week...its probably in his interest for Jamar not to show how close in ability they might actually be.

In my opinion he HAS to be a guaranteed starter. There will be growing pains but the guy appears to be capable of domination. He has to play.

Im wondering if its ever been done. We have requisite playmaking ability along the line and it seems to me we could drop 1-2 guys into zone as needed...but really put the heat on pass rush and pound gaps in the run game. What if our starting D line was Brown, Dvoracek, Harris, Ogun and Anderson. Leave Hunter and Urlacher at the second level...and try something different. Just brainstorming. Flamesuit is on. And where do I send my resume for the potentially available D Coordinator job?

I personally dont see him being a team leader. Reuben is a leader on the line...and he is gone. The value is there...for the same reason some refuse to consider moving him. I dont expect you all to agree... This team's leaders are Mike Brown, Tommie Harris, Moose and Reuben IMO. These are the best combination of mentors, motivators and leaders on this team. I think there is a difference between a long time good player...and a leader. I think Urlacher is lacking in the leadership department...and Kreutz as well.

Continuing thoughts.... My post was a bit rushed...Im uber busy...but let me throw a few things around. 1. Ron Turner is gone. No question. 2. Youve got to spend money to make money. This team has some pieces that can be moved...NOT without some pain in the other direction. Alex Brown wants out...he does have good value IMO. I would also be open to moving Ogun to RE and using Idonije to LE. We have a decent investment in 71 and he plays well IMO. I think Ogun has arguably been our best overall defender this year (add Tillman to that conversation). I move Kreutz as well for the following reasons.. a. His reputation is probably better than his play at this point. To me that means trade value. b. He has issues with the snap and false starts. c. He has temper issues - which leads to dumbass penalties and injured teammates. d. I dont think the dropoff of a move is greater than the potential rewards. 3. I feel compelled to remove veterans from an offense that is flat broken. That includes Moose, Miller, Kruetz, and yes even Clark. I really like Clark...but his value to me is peaked...and I move him if it helps draft position or the acquisition of prospects. I will concede I dont look to DUMP him...I make it clear in my world he is available. Im not interested in giving Clark away...since we could very well indeed run and pass out of 2 TE sets...which I really kind of like. 4. Under no circumstances is Hester not on the field 100% of the time for me. I know he needs to learn to block. He needs to get a copy of the playbook and learn it...but you can see he is clearly capable of dominating...he needs the PT. Im no fan of problem guys...but I would look into acquiring Chad Johnson with some of my expendable pieces to put on the other side with Hester. On the other board I indicated I would hire whoever it takes to teach Devin how to be great. Jerry Rice - overpaid personal coach. Pay Hester (who isnt making huge coin right now) to stay and workout with Steve Smith. I would leave no option off the table to improve the kid. 5. With regards to resigning Berrian or pursuing Turner I approach this like I approach moving Clark. I do this if it makes sense...NOT if we do it at a premium. If the market is ripe for a deal - I look at it. Thats all for now....

Time to liquidate some assets to address the big issues. 1. Let Briggs go. He is good...but not as good as he thinks...the D was bad this year with him here IMO that means he isnt a difference maker. Besides Chicago area uteruses could use a break. 2. Trade Dez Clark...use him to move up in the draft if need be. 3. Trade Alex Brown. Same scenario. The points of 2 and 3 are to clear out where there is depth...and use some of that to obtain additional picks or pick value. 4. Dump Miller, do not re-sign Reuben. Rationale is not a good one...I am getting the vibe that Lovie and Co value veterans over talent in key areas... 4b. If necessary in this vein you have to cut Rashied Davis...who SHOULD by all rights be the 4th receiver on this team since he is a decent ST guy. But if he is #3 or higher he needs to go - to prevent the coaches from being retards. 5. Trade Kruetz. Yes. He is aging and declining...and still has value. Time to make the move is now. He also gets his butt whooped by beefy DTs...which is a problem for us at least 4 times a year with Detroit and Minny. Perhaps he could go into MMA...he does have a killer jaw breaker move. Between Kruetz, Alex and Dez you clearly should find some benefits in draftpicks, prospects and cap room. THe O is crap and needs to total retooling. 6. at WR - dump Moose - let Berrian walk. Keep either Bradley or Davis. I prefer Bradley. Hester is a guaranteed start in my world. 7. Be open to bidding for Berrian and Turner the Burner. Play if the market is not as hyper for their services as those players would hope. 8. Take the winnings from the trades to draft no less than 3 O-Linemen. 9. Sign one FA lineman...nobody over 27/28 years of age. Other needs are clearly safety and WR...havent looked to closely yet at where I would draft or pick them up...but 1-9 allows for more than the usual number of picks and the potential to draft or sign as needed. At QB I would consider keeping the guys we have now around. I would draft a QB if Rex isnt back...open competition in camp next year.

I would hire any quality WRs from years past to come and coach Devin. I would pay a large sum to have Jerry Rice be a personal coach to 23.

WMB - fairly straightforward on my part....good to see some core posters move over...

Pretty easy to get over here....going to take a while to get used to the format...but it will be worth it. WMB
