When you have the best RB, offense. And wr in the nfl you need athletes.

Don't know if that was sarcasm or not, but everything aside from WR is far from the best..
05/11/2013 - 10:56pm
We're talking about the wrong side of the ball. Still, you have to scratch your head at the performance of the O last season. We had a top RB, QB, and a high at the top WR, and still we were in the bottom of the league in offensive production. That was why Lovie got the axe.

I meant in our division. We have AP, Calvin, and the GB offense. We need some athletes in key positions LB was getting too old kinda like the Oline when we ignored the position.

you think he had ALL the say in that pick? doubt it. but you bring up a good question. and who said recently that Long was taking snaps at Center? the guy is way too tall to play C.
05/10/2013 - 1:38pm
I never talked about Long playing center, but he isn't to tall to play that position regardless.. "But here's a factoid for you, Raider Nation -- at 6'8", Jared Veldheer will be the tallest person ever to start at the center position in the NFL."

You don't draft the third best guard over the third beast tackle. And lane Johnson is more athletic than long so they had to get lane.
05/10/2013 - 6:24pm
No matter how good a guard is I don't think one will ever be drafted top 5.
05/11/2013 - 2:54pm
Yeah and plus this year the LT s were amazing.
05/12/2013 - 10:36am
They have an unrestricted free agent from lsu. But i wouldnt count on him . Williams could be servicable if needed he's.a mauler .

I don't think, other than the one center Dallas took, there was little else that Emery could afford to grab in the draft. He's pretty much taking a risk on UDFA Lonergan and FA Taylor Boggs. You should be interested in the latter though, as he appears pretty mean and mauled the hell out of people during is career (i.e. consistently throwing his guy to the ground), and he was good at getting out in space. He should provide solid competition, while Lonergan is a project for the next year or so.

Kyle Long has been practicing center. We are covered.

I see nothing. Else I didn't look hard enough.
05/06/2013 - 11:30am
I think WR Green has a chance. He looks good.
05/06/2013 - 8:16pm
Ya i think green is the only one who could have a shot.
05/07/2013 - 12:17am
I would think he'd want his QB from the Alouettes, but 1) he's 38 years old and 2) he's under contract with Montreal for 2 more years.
05/07/2013 - 9:17am
28* if you're talking about S. J. Green.
05/08/2013 - 12:02am
think hes talking about that old ass QB they got
05/08/2013 - 12:51am
oh ya that guys ancient :P
05/08/2013 - 3:47am
True but Trestman said in his interview that he wanted to introduce main concepts and then learn the playbook . They are in the learning phase now.

True lets hope we can work something out.
05/03/2013 - 4:34pm
He might not be able to live off that, but that's not a bad start. It would only grow from there.

Oh ya watched his video last night. No doubt in my mind he will be a starter this year, and our front Four is going to be A destructive force.

He's also super athletic. I found this online comparing him to combine invitees.
Here are the numbers for the top 10 performers (d-line only) at the combine in each category:
Bench:
Margus Hunt (DE) SMU-38
Brandon Williams (DT) Missouri Southern-38
Akeem Spence (DT) Illinois-37
Josh Boyd (DT) Mississipi St.-32
Minter (DT) MSU-31
John Jenkens (DT) Georgia-30
Abry Jones (DE) Georgia-30
Chris Jones (DT) Bowling Green-30
Bennie Logan (DT) LSU-30
Stansly Maponga (DE) TCU-30
Vertical:
Trevardo Williams (DE) Connecticut-38'
Barkaveous Mingo (DE) LSU-37'
Ty powell (DE) harding-37'
Damontre Moore (DE) Texas A&M-35.5
Devin Taylor (DE) South Carolina-35
Nate Williams (DE) Ohio State-35
Ziggy Ansah (DE) BYU-34.5
Margus Hunt (DE) SMU-34.5
Sam Montgomery (DE) LSU-34.5
Joe Kruger (DE) Utah-34
Minter (DT) MSU-34
The next closest tackle is at 33. He had a vert than any tackle at the combine.
Shuttle:
Ziggy Ansah (DE) BYU-4.26
Devin Taylor (DE) South Carolina-4.30
Datone Jones (DE) UCLA-4.32
David Bass (DE) Missouri Western-4.33
Dion jordan (DE) Oregon) 4.35
Minter (DT) MSU-4.37
Barkaveous Mingo (DE) LSU-4.39
Jared Smith (DT) New Hapshire-4.39
Coret Lemonier (DE) Aubrun-4.40
Ty powell (DE) harding-4.40
Zach would have been the fastest tackle at the combine.
Broad Jump:
He would have been in the top 20, but outside the top 15.
3 cone Drill:
His 3 cone would have been just outside the top 15.

I doubt he will start unless injury strikes he plays the "three" technique and Melton is getting paid big bucks so hes playing regardless. I dont think he will overtake Paea. But ive seen his tape its awesome, hopefully that athleticism transfers it to the NFL.
04/30/2013 - 10:18pm
I agree he pry wont start, I just hope he can make the roster and get in on some pass rush situations.
05/01/2013 - 9:05am
Yeah im hoping he and Cornelius Washington can bring it.

I would run a twin QB set. Split them. How would you game plan defensively?
04/29/2013 - 9:04am
Trestman has said that he would love to devolp him. and he also said he wants to add some read option to the playbook. but i am just not sold on the idea. Bears don't need that attention. Cause we thrive when No one ever talks about us.
04/29/2013 - 9:16am
true
04/29/2013 - 1:38pm
How do you think Cutler would react?
04/30/2013 - 5:09pm
No! Give Matt Blanchard a legit shot at #2.
