Wesson44 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 The Chicago Bears signed guard/center Andre Gurode on Tuesday after waiving defensive tackle Amobi Okoye, the team announced. The Bears lost guard Lance Louis for the season with a knee injury after a hit from the Minnesota Vikings' Jared Allen on Sunday. The Bears also signed offensive lineman Derek Dennis and receiver Dale Moss to the practice squad. The Bears also worked out linebacker Aaron Curry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesson44 Posted November 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 Still cant believe Aaron Curry turned out bad..Yes me too, but hey we signed an All-pro guard who is in his last years in the NFL, but maybe just maybe he can help the Bears O line out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bears4Ever_34 Posted November 27, 2012 Report Share Posted November 27, 2012 I love the Aaron Curry tryout. Sign this man now! If it doesn't work out, so be it. Can't hurt, could help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TerraTor Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 when did Gurode last play Guard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan Grizzly Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 when did Gurode last play Guard? Looks like 2005 (according to Wikipedia - below). Bill Parcells thougth he (Gurode) would be better at Guard...then realized the errors of his ways. Hmmmm...this could prove to be an issue. Perhaps Garza could go back to Guard? The one memory that sticks out about Gurode was when Albert Haynesworth stomped his head. Hopefully it won't recur with a meeting of Suh. He likes to do crap like that. I'm a fan of this type of move (signing proven veteran OLmen). But unfortunately at the expense of Okoye. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andre_Gurode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrizzlyBear Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Collins was the end of Okoye. He played well when in there, the guy is motor and half when on the field. I love the Gurode signing, Him and Scott at on the right side, wow, moose city on the right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I like this signing. Gurode says he's been working out 5 days a week all season waiting for a shot. Of course that's not game shape but it does show his professionalism. Can't see him being worse than E. Williams. If it means Gurode plays C while Garza moves back to RG that's ok by me.

jason Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 I like the move as well, as a stop-gap. If he ends up going to C, and Garza moves to G, then I'd wonder WhyTF Lovie and crew didn't make the move when Spencer was signed. After all, Spencer was explicitly signed to be the replacement for Kreutz. Enough of this switcheroo BS. Put the players in the positions they have played and are familiar with.

Mongo3451 Posted November 28, 2012 Report Share Posted November 28, 2012 Enough of this switcheroo BS. Put the players in the positions they have played and are familiar with. Amen! While I admire Lovie and Co's optimism regarding players and their abilities, there seem to be a bit of arogance that goes with it. Do they really continually think they know something the rest of the NFL world doesn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASHKUM BEAR Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Okoye was brought back today. Good signing since he knows the D and Melton is banged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
