I feel very ripped off reading this post. No third person references? What happened. PaulPressey25 really likes Cliff Levingston to talk in the third person.

The only other team that showed any interest in Pace was Baltimore and they wanted him as a right tackle. No other team would touch him as a left tackle except Chicago.

We'll have much of the same this year too. Pace is still one of the best pass protectors in the game; as a run blocker, not so much.

Uh, did you see him get man handled all night by Elvis Dumervil?

At one point on the Bears' 98-yard TD drive, the jeers turned to cheers when Dumervil blew past left tackle Orlando Pace for a third time and put a hit on Cutler after he had released the ball. The personal foul gave the Bears (2-1) a first down at the Denver 14, but the riled-up crowd didn't care.

Good luck.

Orlando Pace said that he struggles with guys that are smaller than him or something like that.

Left tackle Orlando Pace sees no reason to panic about getting beat a couple of times Sunday night by Broncos linebacker Elvis Dumervil, even if one analyst believes it has been an ongoing problem for Pace.

After the 5-foot-11-inch, 248-pound Dumervil nearly sacked Jay Cutler in the end zone on a second down, NBC color commentator Cris Collinsworth said: "When we talked to Orlando Pace, he said he has trouble with shorter guys because 'As I get older, I have trouble bending over.' "

Pace denied making such a statement.

"I just told him I have to bend my knees more because I've always had that problem, being that I'm a taller guy," the 6-7, 325-pound Pace said. "I didn't say I have a problem with littler guys.

"[There's] no concern. It was just a few plays where I have to do my technique a little bit better."

Pace looked decent in the first two games in the preseason but Dumervil was making a mockery of him all throughout that 3rd game.

Cullen should be able to have his way with him and that could be a key matchup that's going unnoticed. If Cutler's being pressured against an aggressive defense with the WR's that they have, it could be a very long night for the Bears passing game. I can't wait to see a Dom Capers led defense.
