madlithuanian Posted December 11, 2009 Report Share Posted December 11, 2009 http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...earnt11.article Selction: Injury report Wide receiver Devin Hester (calf) didn't practice again Thursday and would need a quick recovery today to play against the Packers. ''It's never a good sign when a guy misses two days of practice,'' coach Lovie Smith said. Hester had four catches for 90 yards against the Packers in the opener, including a 36-yard touchdown. But he had only one catch in each of the last two games -- for 20 and 48 yards. Left tackle Orlando Pace (groin) practiced on a limited basis but is expected to start. Linebackers Lance Briggs (knee) and Hunter Hillenmeyer (groin) and defensive tackles Tommie Harris (knee) and Israel Idonije (knee) practiced and are expected to start.

madlithuanian Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I thought he did decently. Granted, it's the Rams. But he is the future... Quick question: How did Williams play last week? I misssed the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connorbear Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I thought he did decently. Granted, it's the Rams. But he is the future... I read today that Pace was limited again in practice and is questionable for the game. The writer said he may be the emergency tackle this week.

defiantgiant Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 I thought he did decently. Granted, it's the Rams. But he is the future... Williams held off Chris Long pretty well, and Long's been one of the few bright spots on the Rams' defense this season. Also, Lovie went out of his way to say that Williams looked like a "natural" at left tackle. I wouldn't be surprised if they're planning on giving Pace the start and pulling him almost immediately. Lovie tends to give a lot of lip service to the veterans, but I can't imagine he thinks that Pace gives us the best chance to win on Sunday. As much as Pace has struggled against 4-3 DEs, he's even worse against 3-4 outside linebackers. Elvis Dumervil spun him around like a weathervane in that preseason game against Denver; Pace could barely get a hand on the guy. Clay Matthews has been playing really well, and I'd be very surprised if Pace could contain him. They can say Pace will start all they want, but if he isn't getting benched at the first sign of trouble, it's going to be a bad game for Cutler.

madlithuanian Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Good! But I hate the fact the the move is being made for injury...it's hould be for lack of performance and for the future. But we'll take what we can get. I read today that Pace was limited again in practice and is questionable for the game. The writer said he may be the emergency tackle this week.

There's no way Pace is the starter next season, so let's get the new guys some game reps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 This just in: Lovie has no clue, and doesn't care about the future of this team. He doesn't care about player development. In fact, he never has. Let's hope this is just a brick in the foundation used to fire him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawhizz Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Is it too much to hope for that Pace will be starting for the Packers? Cause that the only way this is good news for the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 Orlando Pace is out, meaning Chris Williams starts at left tackle and Kevin Shaffer starts at RT for the Bears. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/1051697...g-Week-14-games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defiantgiant Posted December 13, 2009 Report Share Posted December 13, 2009 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/1051697...g-Week-14-games Does this mean he's basically a healthy scratch, or did he get downgraded at the last minute? I hope it's the former - it'd be nice to see the coaching staff acknowledge that he's a liability and dress somebody else for game days. Also, Jarron Gilbert is a healthy inactive, but Gaines Adams is active. I bet we see them rotate dressing one or the other every week from now on.
