He was the only defender to earn his pay last Sunday

It only stands to reason that he should make more than Stafford. I like that he's in the fold quickly.

That's a great point. It even made me think a new coach trying to build a locker room would pay a premium for the work ethic and leadership.

I have to admit two things: One, I don't know a lot about the 3-4 defense and secondly, I'm intrigued by the thought of it. What I do believe is that Wooten and Peppers are big and athletic enough to play 3-4 ends while I have reservations about Paea playing any role at his size / athletic ability. That's not saying he can't add girth to play the nose. I like McClellin and Bostic on the outside utilizing their speed Briggs and Williams look to be a fit in the middle, as they are surer tacklers and range and explosiveness not what it used to be. Not sure Green fits in this scheme unless he can move inside. In the secondary, I would really love to see Tillman move to safety or let him walk. He is simply a funnel corner and a liability if left alone. He's still a great tackler and very instinctive. I could multiple strips and picks for him next year. I like us to sign Jennings. He is a really good cover corner. Imagine the confidence he would have knowing Peanut has his back. I may be alone here but I think Conte is redeemable next year. He was better in 2012. Was his regression due to scheme and coaching or ability. Wright can go. He simply doesn't make enough plays for his aggressive nature.

Fire him. Someone has to fall on the sword.might as well be Tucker.

His post has him getting an avg of 16 mil a year.

Based on what I saw yesterday, Jay should be back.

He could probably put on weight if we wanted him to too. No more need for light and fast, which is not how he plays anyway.

Coach said he had a personal matter.

Did they use money from this year to save on cap hit? Hello cap guys...

Yes to all! I bet you are loving the success of our BIG receivers. Are you still deployed?

I simply think it's an awe shucks negotiating tactic. Heck, McCown probably doesn't even have a real agent. He'll sign at a price he and the Bears like and there won't be a bit of it in the media until it's done. I'm 99 percent sure of it.

That and if he's offered 2 years 6 million, he'll move his family for a couple of years of that. What kid wouldn't say "go for it dad"! Wink wink hint...

It will also be a great test to see who wants to be on the team next year.

Good! When we beat that ass, there will be no excuses. Bear down, it's Packer week! I'll be at Ditkas Saturday night at 630 if anyone wants to have a drink. Got seats on the 25, third level. I'm stoked!!!

To me that is coaching. It's all about timing and position and it just seems disjointed far too often.

Hate this on every level. Wow...

Agreed, but... Unless it's 3rd and 7,all downs are running downs against this team. Unfortunately, we have worse than SMC out there. Check some film on Bostic. He bites on every cut, counter and misdirection. I saw at least 8 run plays against Philly where he took himself so far out of the play he simply was walled off in traffic.

[quote name='Alaskan Grizzly' As I pointed out previous, I feel that the team needs to start Cutler on. Sunday against the Packers. This is why he will start Sunday. His performance Sunday will determine his future. By default, we will have a clearer picture.

Using the CBA as an excuse 20 weeks into the season is BS. Poor coaching and lack of effort, period...

Please allow me to play devils advocate. Drive 1: what if the two failed pass plays were because Cutler blew the hot read our audibled out of a positive play? What if he would've gotten a first down our two. God forbid a TD? A first down could have quieted the energy in the crowd and changed ours. Who knows, they may not have started their epic run. Drive 2: maybe Hester doesn't put the ball on the ground trying to make a play. Never know... Drive 3: etc... Just saying there are many talks that can be told. I'd really live to see coaches film on that game. Like I said in another post. It's not on Cutler, but he played a role in the 54 we got hung on us.

Cutler was awful tonight. He didn't lose us the game tonight, but it would have been nice if he helped keep our defense off the field. That team did not want a division title.

Bostic and Paea are terrible. Peppers is a has been and SMC never has been. Briggs looked slow and out of sync tonight as well. Tonight was embarrassing.

I'm going to back track and defend Conte here. Playing safety is taught a certain way; in run support the safety is supposed to clean up what the linebackers miss. That means they are working off the cut of the running back. Our LB's are not making running backs cut before the safety. Therefore the safety's are dealing with a new cut in space in an open field. Almost impossible to defend.
