Espn scouts list Bears as 24th rbs
the lions are rated above us. Even though we were 15th in rushing last year, we go to 24 because of jones? wow. They overrate jones big time. We'll rank higher in rushing this year. Count on that.
Espn is just so bad.

Agreed. It always stuns me how football prognosticators predict the dumbest crap in the off season. How many times have they predicted the Vikings to be division winners over the last few years. I mean. The Vikes lose Moss & Culpepper & many commentators actually thought they would be better. I follow other teams in football much less than I do basketball. But my son is 7 and he could tell you thats not gonna happen.
The Bears will be a dominant running team this year. Jones was a hard worker & an over achiever. But there was more talent on the bench behind him.

We got a bad rating because we no longer have a proven running back. Benson was pretty solid last year, but after that, we are pretty thin. I know some of you are high on our rookie RB, but he has yet to prove anything. I think we will be better then 24th in the league for running, but I do understand why ESPN rated us so low.
And don't sleep on the Cowboys. They are VERY deep at RB. Julius Jones, and Marion Barber make a very strong one-two punch duo. Throw in Tyson Thomas, and you have three guys who can run through most defenses.

I didnt mean to say that AP was a bad backup, he averaged close to 5 yards a carry last year. But, if Benson does go down, we are screwed. Peterson is not a full time running back.
With this being said, I think the Bears will have a very solid running game.

Now that I look at it, we're no. 2 in most defensive categories behind Baltimore.

You need insider to view the entire list, but you can see the first 10.
I like our ranking for Special teams but that's about it.
