Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 It looks like Israel Idonije is on the move. Back outside that is. The Bears' defensive lineman is in the process of shedding weight, according to a report in the Winnipeg Sun, and it's believed he will be used more at end than tackle this coming year. That's the reverse of what happened last offseason for the versatile veteran. Idonije added between 25 and 30 pounds this time last year at the direction of the team for a move inside. per Biggs at the Times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 per Biggs at the Times Hopefully this means he returns to an increased role on special teams as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stinger226 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 per Biggs at the Times I would suspect that with that happening DE wont be a high pick,unless a stud drops to us at 18. The spot open will be for a future replacement for Wali. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ54 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I think this will be a great help for special teams. Idonije was just ok at DT, and he's just ok at DE. But when he's at 270 he's a beast on special teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerBear7 Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 I think this will be a great help for special teams. Idonije was just ok at DT, and he's just ok at DE. But when he's at 270 he's a beast on special teams. When he played inside he got very good pentration and had several batted passes. He needs to be on the field more and I agree he is an Absolute Beast on ST! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
