Great. Had high hopes for Wright to be a big boost for us at the start of the season. He'll come back but the time he will miss in training camp will hurt.

You know Kurt Warner's gotta be right at the top of the list if the Bears are in contention if/when Cutler goes down.

 

I don't think he'll be coming back. And if he was, he's not going to drag his almost 40 year old body up to Chicago to play at Soldier Field in December.

I've heard Josh McCown's name thrown about. He is with the UFL now, but could walk away from that. He also has experience with Martz. Edited by Wilson A2000

Rather have McCown than Collins. Whoever, they bring in is probably going to play at least a quarter this weekend. McCown knows the offense. Plus, Collins is going to be 39 in November. McCown is only 31 and is at least not a statue.

Heh...these guys know that there's no opportunity for a starters job here unless Cutler goes down in a heap...why would they want to come here?

 

Meanwhile, the O-line is still a concern for me...

 

No changes to the lineup were made at Monday's practice, although what is believed to be a minor leg injury sidelined right guard Lance Louis, leading James Marten to replace him.

 

Good lord, we'd better not have any O-lineman get hurt...we've got no depth behind them....who is James Marten?

Depth isn't a problem. Got plenty of bodies to throw in there. My issue is that they have talked all summer about getting their best 5 players on the line and getting them some time together. Yet, we were told in the beginning that Asiata and Beekman would battle for the LG spot. And Louis would battle Garza at RG.

 

Asiata, Beekman, and Garza have all taken reps w/ the 1st team at LG, with no injury excuses. And now Garza, Louis, and Marten will take 1st team reps at RG which I suspect may not be because of injury due to Louis' poor game Saturday.

The o-line is the biggest concern this season. We again will be a one-dimensional offensive team due to the lack of run blocking on this team. At this point I'm trying to figure out if I should spend $300 bucks on the direct tv package since I live out of the Chicago area.

It's not the run blocking i'm concerned about. It's the Jay taking almost all 5 and 7 step drops blocking. This team will absolutely try to throw to set up the run.

I watch the Bears win or lose, so I'm all in for the DirecTV package regardless.

 

But yeah, it could be a chore watching this team if the OLine can't block and we wind up watching Jay run for his life while our backs can't get any running room.

18 career passing yards.

 

also known as the 2nd most passing yards on the Bears roster.

 

That, unfortunately, is not a selling point.

Matt Gutierrez is the QB brought in per Brad Biggs. Former Patriot backup.

 

Alright! Former Michigan man. Was Chad Henne's backup until he transfered to Idaho State.
