Not, we're not going to move our best corner to safety. If anyone should move to safety, it's Bowman. Graham needs to be the starting LCB instead of Vasher as well. Might as well give Manning a shot at FS before replacing him as well.


I have to disagree with you on this one Cliff. I don't think Tillman is all that great in coverage. I would say he's average at best. He DOES have excellent ball skills and he is elite at stripping the ball.
He's also a good tackler.

I would go ahead and CUT Vasher. He has great ball skills, but he couldn't guard butterbean on a post route. If he's gonna stay around, he'd have to be a Nickle guy where we could play to his strengths more.

just a few quick things.

- I'm not gonna worry about Cutler. Thats insane. Though it was not cool the way he thought Hester was his only wideout worth looking for, but then again, he probably was. Such as Hester is. The passing offense will be in big big trouble without Forte and or Olsen. The doomsday scenario.

- Williams looks somewhat vulnerable to a bull rush, but OK in getting in front of the speed pass rusher. Feet look good.

- Gilbert looked fairly disruptive when he was fresh. Unfortunately as noted, the guy got gassed too easily.

- I was disapointed in Harrison as a force. He does not look as good physically causing havok in the trenches as he did in last years preseason games. Hope he rounds into shape.

- Anderson. Bleh. He looks no different than last year's version.

- Alex Brown, he continues to be the same. Good that is

I'm glad someone was paying attention to the o-line. I tried to pay attention to Williams but was watching Cutler too much. I think run blocking is going to be the challenge.

No pun intended, eh? I think round is his shape.

Very disappointing - he was taking wide routes to the QB every time. And word was he was having a great camp, too.
Turn down for what?

Return to Chicago Bears
