Not enough to pay him what he is getting right now. More intrigued. But given the age of the D it would be nice to add depth. Again, I think the problem with him is the aforementioned price and injury bug. And I agree the other kid has more upside, but he's an LB. (Speaking of young LB's) And for what its worth, I still wish the Bears would have given Taylor Mays a look.

They who recently signed Marcus Harrison...yes THAT Marcus Harrison. The same one that was not only released by Chicago earlier this year but also failed his physical after being picked up by Carolina off of waivers. And I for one one am not convinced that Meriweather was a waste. I still see potential there.

It looks as though reading around on this kid a bit that he is a bargain priced addition to the Line Backing core. A position that most will agree needed some beefing up. And he plays special teams. I look at it as a slight gain with Harris leaving.

http://bostonherald.com/sports/football/pa...&position=2 Partly posted as we are heading into a bye week, seems as though the news is stagnant and curious to see what others think. Could/would he be a worthwhile look? There is the possibility that his injury history and/or price could be a hurdle...but one has to ask.

I'm sorry, but again as the theme has been 'this is a business'. With Kreutz, there had to be something the team saw with their willingness to release him. And the Bears even offered him more than he eventually signed on with the Saints. So I can only assume that Harris was trending that way. Especially given his issues as of late. I too am a fan of Harris' and wish him the best in his next endeavor.

Pearlman actually had some 'factual' things to say in it too. I really like watching Walter interacting with Jarret during the HOF induction, great stuff. And of course his running. I see that the Ditka one is coming up on Thursday. That should be entertaining.

Really (IMHO) the issue is that Forte will cost more...at the pace he's going which concerns people. And Forte could end up getting hurt, which he could be concerned about.

OK, good point. How about one for Offense and and for Defense?

DJ MOORE!!! One more time....

EOM

ROY WILLIAMS with a TD....WOW???? Whodda thought?

Think that might answer the question about Conte's legitimacy?

Regarding the status of Bucs DLman McCoy. Looks as though he will be out. I originally thought that could be good but your analysis of his back up has me a little concerned. http://m.nfl.com/news/09000d5d8235f2f0/buc...ing-with-bears/

Was that came played already, with the time zone difference and all?

Tell Pompeii I said 'F**k Him'. Rock on Jay!!!

Whoops, I posted this in the wrong thread. Oh well, it still applies. Enjoy your day Sunday Flea. Go Bears!

Have fun on Sunday Flea. Go Bears!

The play stands.... http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...-nbc-microphone And so goes the NFL

Unfortuntely this piece of trash (Pearlman) is successful for the same reason the National Enquirer is. Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the link to our earlier conversations. I forgot how eloquent you can be. And rather than re-tackle this point by point, I'll try and clarify a few points then be done with it.

...and to add more to the help of Williams and as was mentioned earlier, he was hurt earlier in the year. And throw in the fact that Jay hasn't had a lot of opportunity to really throw to ANYone probably doesn't help. After the last game it would appear both are improving. At least I hope.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,2975485.story Don't like that this is going on. At this point I'll say getting rid of Angelo, Martz and paying Forte are the Bears priorities. Even before signing a WR or OL

I would hope that Cutler, still the future of the franchise on offense, would have some say in this. He knows a little about Royal and a bit more about Marshall and their tendencies. I would like to think that, especially what is on the horizon (Martz leaving???) that they would listen more to Jay about this. And I think something in the 2nd or 3rd (maybe Harris too) for Marshall and/or something less for Royal could be done. Not sure that Royal would be the "same" as Hester or Knox. Only because Hester is not a "true" WR and Knox has got less time on the field. Again the key being Cutlers familiarity with him giving the edge.

Was watching the replay this morning and heard this too. Could've swore it sounded like Jay was expressing his displeasure. Or was it that little Harry Potter looking troll that is always following him around when the O is off the field? Either way I feel Martz' days are numbered in Chicago. http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/89782...day-night-video

I agree somewhat that Harris should be upset about what transpired. But at the same time he should use that frustration towards bettering himself and improving. Whether it be to get better after being injured or just in general. How many Pro Bowls has Chris been to? I know Meriweather has been to two and with all his faults and despite being benched, haven't heard him complain about it. Maybe this would be an opportune time for the Bears to make good at getting a player along the lines of OL or WR? I know Lloyd is still out there as is possibly R. Wayne. Think it safe to assume that Indy could use all the help it can get at Defense. Sorry Chris, as much I like your play this isn't the way to deal with adversity. Good luck in wherever this leads.
