Week 4: Eagles at Bears, 7:15 central on NBC

[Soul]

If the Packers have to go with Flynn for significant games this year, then this division is wide open.

 

Even with Rodgers, it's looking more & more like teams are starting to confuse him more. Although I still think he's at least a serviceable QB.

 

I'm very surprised to find that we're in first place today, so that's a good thing .500 record or not.

Devin Hester - On kickoff and punt returns what's with the running backwards and sideways?

he's learned the "don't get hit at any cost" return technique from Deion Sanders

Well, I don't blame him, facing those madmen on special teams would give me some apprehension to but, with the Bear offense maybe he could stick to sideways.

Special teams isnt giving him enough of a hole to start a return. One he gets going, he has enough time to juke and if needed accelerate to full speed (like what you saw on that kickoff return)

 

I think the Special Teams misses Ayenbadejo. That man was a human wedge.

Yep. He is missed.

Is Idonije getting any time on special teams?

 

That tandem is really missed.

Actually, when they do a straight up kickoff, he's getting some room. He hasn't broken one yet (though almost last night), but I don't think it's because he doesn't have holes. It's more with them kicking short, kicking OB, then kicking over his head cuz he's playing up (like they did last night on the one where he ran backwards...).

 

Hester's always gonna be that way. What makes him exciting, makes him a risk.

I haven't seen Idonje out there since the opener. He's worked his way into a starting DT. I don't think he'll be out there anymore.
