I dont get what your so sensitive about, refering to past statements is something you do all the time. I havent been in on this disagreement, but sounds like you favored Chad and made suggestions and Twig disagreed? Doesnt sound like anything to get upset about, you are stong opinionated and so are a lot of us. A lot of us on here are argumentative, and as long as we dont get personal, it just doenst matter. You and I have butted heads and I have no problem with you, it is just sports arguments. There are a lot of things I dont agree with you about, but that doesnt mean I dont welcome your opinion, no matter how stupid it is . (just kidding). Chill

Some people just dont live a normal respectful life. He will never see daylight again.

We were slapped with the reality of game 7 and the Hawks suprise you again, great viewing.

I think what we need to keep in mind is it is just (his opinion), it means little in the reality of what happens. You guys arguing over stupid stuff is what makes this blog interesting, just wish I would have got in on the birth of the argument.

Did you get to catch the game last nite? Spectacular

I think this technique could be far different from Lovie and Tice, more down to earth and straight forward to relate to players. He doesnt coddle anybody.

Its just information, its more what you do with it than where you get it.

great for a distraction. quite exciting tv.

Did you get to watch the game last nite?

Totally agree with that. I would like him to do well, just have some doubts but we have Mills in the pipeline so future looks brighter no matter what.

cool

I think any information can be useful, it is more about who is dissecting it more than who is giving it.

Im kinda sorry I didnt jump in on this debate, all my favorite master debaters are involved in this one.

hopefully you have a DVR to record them. That are quite exhilarating.

I think there always competition for every job, but there is expectations for the RT position to be Webb's. Maybe it is just a way to boost his confidence. If he looks bad, it wont be his job.They set up people behind him to fall back on. There is no competition for Cutlers job,Marshall, ect. But if they fail we just dont have anyone to take there place, but with marginial players they have people in place.They welcomed Carmi back to camp and then traded him, everything can not be taken directly, kinda of have to look at the situation for each player.

I believe I mentioned when he was born, he would one day be a TE, so that makes me first.(just kidding)

I think Melton is good as a pass rusher but leaves something to be desired as a run stopper. I made mystatement on the fact I think Ellis can be more of a complete DT.

I think we are replacing our depth with players that fit Kromer's type, since our O-line was so bad, I have no problem having changes everywhere.

Upgrading positions is not exactly cleaning house, it is just the evolution of a team getting better.

Bingo, I think the possibility exists for that to happen. It will only happen if Garza get hurt, but that could be a blessing in disguise. Although I think zone blocking will help Garza look better.

There were no trumpets or bright lights welcoming the seventh pick of the 2008 draft when he unassumingly walked out to minicamp practice wearing a gray, long-sleeved T-shirt Wednesday. The expectations for Sedrick Ellis with the Bears are not what they were with the Saints. But even after five somewhat disappointing seasons in New Orleans, Ellis' promise has not yet reached the end of its shelf life. Dan Pompei Dan Pompei.

The reason for the hope is Ellis fits the Bears defense the way your charger fits your cell phone. "They allow their guys to do what defensive linemen are supposed to do, and that's rush the passer and get sacks and put pressure on the quarterback while playing the run on the way," he said. "I haven't had the chance to do that the last couple of years, so I'm excited about that." In his first three seasons with the Saints, Ellis progressed and produced at a modest pace. In 2010, he had three sacks in his first three games, and he generated some early Pro Bowl buzz. He finished with just six. The Saints defense changed in 2011 from an upfield scheme to more of a read-and-react, two-gap scheme, and Ellis didn't change enough with it. Instead of a penetrator, Ellis was expected to be a stuffer. He put on weight, getting up to about 320 pounds. At USC, Ellis is a bit of a legend because he was so strong the school had to purchase 200-pound dumbbells for him to do incline presses. But he never played with that kind of strength. Ellis, who scouts say always relied on quickness and tended to play high, struggled with the Saints' new assignments. His athleticism — which was his best attribute — was minimized. The situation discouraged him. "(Those) schemes didn't quite suit my talents and that showed in production," he said. Ellis now carries 310 pounds on his 6-foot, 1-inch frame and plans to drop another 10 pounds or so before training camp. "He can excel in a penetrating, up-the-field, attacking defense," Bears defensive coordinator Mel Tucker said. With the Bears, Ellis probably will be one of the wave tackles coming off the bench behind starters Henry Melton and Stephen Paea. After the offseason losses of Israel Idonije, Matt Toeaina and Amobi Okoye, the team was lacking depth at the position. So Ellis is a welcome addition. He will need to play both three technique and nose tackle, but the Bears were attracted to him because of his ability to rush the passer as a three technique. If he can do that well, Ellis will spend most of his time at that position. As a result, Ellis said he is "almost guaranteeing" his production will spike. "A lot of times in the NFL it's not only about how talented you are, but the scheme you play in, the coaches you have, things like that," he said. "It all plays together. Players have to match coaches and schemes." Motivation should not be an issue for Ellis. He is on a one-year contract, so if he wants another chance at big money, he will have to earn it. He was passed over during the free-spending phase of free agency, and lasted on the market for nearly three months. And his contract is believed to be worth only a little more than the NFL minimum. None of that means Ellis can't have significant value to the Bears though. "It's the right place and right time for him," Tucker said I ACTUALLY THINK THIS SIGNING COULD BE AS SIGNIFICANT AS BENNETT AND BUSHROD WAS.I think he will excel in our scheme and end up being my best DT.

Even if the defense doesnt have similar numbers as last year, I think it will be better because of the injection of youth going forward. It will be more aggressive and problems have more points scored against it but with an offense that will but putting up more points, I think it will not have much change in record.

We both know the OLine sucked every since Cutler has been here, so rebuilding that is not change for sake of change.

thats cool

Now this is the epitaph of a slow period.
