2009-10 Bears Season: Utler, 'Uther 'Uckers

[CT III]

This is a good start.  He's been the worst player on the field the last two games...and that's saying something. 

(I now await a visit from "Intrepid Reader: Nick Roach" to protest)

Not that Roach is great (insert shitbrain Kurt) or anything, but considering he took all of his snaps
at strong side before the injuries and he's playing in a defensive scheme which expects him to
defend vast swathes of the field, I think he's been ok.

I'd push a good deal of the team into a wood chipper before him.

The Woodchipper (in order of appearance)
1. Frank Omiyale
2. Orlando Pace
3. Nathan Vasher
4. Kevin Payne
5. Helen Huntermeyer

There's really nobody else I want to push in.

Tommie Harris can go in before Huntermeyer and take the entire undertaintackle position with him.

Why? Push Urlacher and Tinoisomoa and Kevin Jones in too for having the nerve to be injured?

I don't know, I'm just tired of the Tommie Harris situation.  Thinking about it,  I don't really hate him, but he's dead wood now, and dead wood belongs in the chipper.

Benching Omiyale was a good move. I like the idea of telling Tommie Harris that his ass needs to practice if he wants to play (cue Allen Iverson). Hopefully the team can get their heads outta their asses and realize that their jobs are hopefully all on the line.

Helen Huntermeyer is moving to MLB and Roach back to SLB. Am I the only one who thinks that might be an improvement? No?

I think it's an improvement. Hunter lacks Roach's athleticism, but he knows the calls and makes better reads. Roach has not impressed me with calling the formations. The Roddy White touchdown in the Atlanta game was kind of the last straw for me. The Falcons came out in five wide and Roach had Nothing and didn't call the time out.

Helen Huntermeyer is moving to MLB

Can he replace Mike Fontenot?

[Tony]

So the third string Sam is moving back to being the second string Mike, and the third string Mike is going back to being the second string Sam. That's got to be an improvement, right? Thank god for Lance Briggs.

They're playing the Browns this weekend. That's got to be an improvement, right?

Bears at home since 2005 including Postseason: 28-9

Bears on Road since 2005 including SB XLI: 17-20

I thought the road splits were going to be a shite sight worse when I started looking this up. But my point is that TJ is right. This week should reflect some improvement.  

[Indolent Reader]

Orlando Pace plays for the Bears?  Hmm.

[SKO]

I'm just glad they didn't say they were going to "give Omiyale one last chance to redeem himself," have him flatten some shitty Brown all day, save his job, and then get his ass handed to him against Arizona. Get Beekman in now, let him get comfortable against Cleveland, have a (marginally) improved line ready for Arizona.

[Brownie]

Do teams really scheme around bad personnel and wouldn't good teams at least work under the assumption that if there are better personnel options that their opponents will eventually figure it out and switch to it? How will not telling anyone that Beekman and Harris are starting and Hillenmeyer and Roach are switching positions give the Bears any kind of edge? Was that the problem the last few years when Lovie was adamant that "Rex was our quarterback?"

Sure they do. They will probably attack a bad cornerback, a bad part of the oline, or a defensive end who can't play the run until the opponent switches up. Atlanta probably saw that Nick Roach couldn't handle the calls at MLB so they went no huddle and exploited it.

He could have just said it last week.  1 week too late, at least it didn't matter.

And did I read that Beekman played all 16 games last year?  I'll confess I didn't know that, and actually because I didn't hear his name much and didn't remember him playing--which for an O lineman (especially guards) would imply that he's done his job--I'm suddenly RETROANGRY that they apparently had decided to try to fix what wasn't broken.  Nice move, Jerry.
