Phil Emery Is God - The 2014 Bears

[SKO]

I don't want the Bears to draft him because Shea McClellin and Cornelius Washington are two seemingly worthless tweeners already taking up roster spots that Emery drafted for their versatility the last two years. I'd rather not add another one to the mix. Does that make me anti-ghey? Because Clowney could spend every night just diving into a sea of man meat and I'd kill for him.

Who the fuck is Cornelius Washington?

Also, won't the Bears need a bunch of tweeners to run their hybrid 4-3/3-4?

Cornelius Washington was a guy they kept on the roster for 16 games because he's a super athletic "hybrid" player who was so raw he couldn't get on the field even as the DL turned into a goddamn MASH unit. Scouting report very similar to Sam's, actually. I'd say between him and McClellin they have the "hybrid DE/LB" spot, what they really need now is some DTs big enough to two-gap but fast enough to still play 1 gap when necessary. I mean, someone should draft the guy, he led the SEC in sacks, but he's a project and the Bears really don't need another project at that spot.

Still, I feel like the anonymous comments of some front office types need to be highlighted.  There's some good ones, but this is my favorite:

"I don't think football is ready for [an openly gay player] just yet," said an NFL player personnel assistant. "In the coming decade or two, it's going to be acceptable, but at this point in time it's still a man's-man game. To call somebody a [gay slur] is still so commonplace. It'd chemically imbalance an NFL locker room and meeting room."

"Why? Not that they're against gay people. It's more that some players are going to look at you upside down. Every Tom, Dick and Harry in the media is going to show up, from Good Housekeeping to the Today show. A general manager is going to ask, 'Why are we going to do that to ourselves?'

Good Housekeeping?

Yeah, because Da Gays are going to redecoracte the locker room to make it fabolous

I really hope that there are 32 beat writers with enough guts out there to ask each GM if they are the one that made those quotes from the SI article.  I doubt that there are.

Emery on the record.

Good for Phil.  1 down 31 to go.

I say the Bears should draft him, thus moving one step closer to fulfilling Huey and I's dream of a 53 Thierry roster.

So that report was stupid and wrong: Bennett is testing free agency. Come on, Black Unicorn, work your magic.

I wanted Bennett as much as anybody but there are still options. Lamarr Houston is certainly a capable generic Michael Bennett replacement.

Yeah, you were one of only a handful of hundreds of sources indicating that the Bears had an interest in Houston.

Glad we agree that I was right.

Try to go two-for-two and tell us whether he's worth a shit.
