Guess we don't feel comfortable with Matt Forte.

I expect we will see a lot more of the RB chipping, and the TE staying in to help our line - which is fine by me. I'd love to see us play more single back two TE sets.

trade down *cough* Coby Fleener *cough*


Lovie keeps talking up Kellen Davis as a legit #1 receiving TE and Spaeth makes good money just to block but I wouldn't put your suggestion past us and I would actually endorse the Fleener pick if it could be done via a trade down.

And speaking of RB chipping....you know you pass protects VERY well? Michael Bush. Probably not a coincidence.
Turn down for what?

^^^Good find.

I wonder if he's just insurance for Knox or if this signals that we're definitely not drafting a WR in the first round.

He's only 26yrs old & it's a one year contract.
