Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted September 15, 2012 Report Share Posted September 15, 2012 The defense has only given up 3 TD's in 2 games. Prior to the year, everyone had this as the Bears weakness. Positives: -Peppers has been really good. -Melton has 3 sacks already. -Wooton has been solid. -McClellin is on pace for 12 sacks. -Briggs is still really good and Tillman hasn't lost a step. -Jennings...Pro Bowl? Negatives: -Paea hasn't done much. -DJ Moore seems like he's regressed. -Conte still isn't healthy, it doesn't seem. -Urlacher still isn't 100% and it's showing a bit. So, more pros than cons.

You could add: Pros: - The Bears have Jason Campbell (instead of Caleb Hanie) - Michael Bush - Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery - Yeah, Tim Jennings has apparently been working in the off season. He's gotten "bigger" even though he's still only 5'9" - There are still 13 more games to play, including another (at home against GB) - The Bears and Packers records are the same Cons: - Jay Cutler - J'Marcus Webb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesson44 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 Well excusssssssseeeeee me! LOL well the D is playing well, but I have a problem with Conte and Wright line up....it seems to me they are too deep and cant take away or make plays on the out routes or the in routes over the middle. They are always late to the play. Yes i know that the cover two is designed to stop the big play but thry should be able t read ad react a little closer to the line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2-deep is too deep... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We gave up one TD to one of the top 3 offenses and the best QB in the league so I'd say it worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
