Bears 2010 preseason thread

[Wilson A2000]

How'd they score already?

The usual converted on several 2nd and 3rd and longs, no pass rush to speak of.

[Wilson A2000]

Soldier Field does have the most slippery turf in the NFL. They should go to field turf next season.

[Butterscup1679666578]

this is stupid. players dropping like flies.

[Butterscup1679666578]

That was a great play. Great pressure on the QB and nice job by Tillman finding the ball.

[Wilson A2000]

Forte 89 yard TD rush. Wow no one was close to touching him there.

[Butterscup1679666578]

holy cow Forte. never seen that speed from him.

[Wilson A2000]

All hell breaks loose when the long-snapper goes down.

[salukifudd]

I know there is no way to do it, but can we keep Olsen off the field on running plays? He was holding on Forte's TD run, but it wasn't called. Really wish we were able to trade him.

He can't catch either.

You can find a hold on every single play if you're looking for it.

[Butterscup1679666578]

Seriously, there's no better long snapper on the team than Clark? This is brutal.

[Wilson A2000]

Ahahahahaha at Clark's long-snapping. Might as well go for it on every 4th down on opponent's side of the field now.

He can't catch either.

 

Hence, the wish of being able to trade him.

[Wilson A2000]

Can the Bears just do the underhanded snap like you did as a kid? It's preseason so the refs shouldn't care.

Not sure, but do you know how bad of a blocker he is? If you have dvr watch Olsen, after Forte breaks away Olsen throws his hands up and looks for a flag, dude is the worst at blocking.

Not trying to get on your case, but teams don't waste a roster spot on a backup long snapper, if Patrick is down they will sign someone. But it sounds like Patrick will be fine, so no worries.

[gflore34]

Thus far Cutler has been sacked 3 times and how many was it vs SD? 2 or 3? Preseason or not that's a problem.

Yeah, I would like to see how Williams is "grading out" in this game.

[gflore34]

Another 3rd and long converted, looking not too different from last season.

I understand that, but you'd think with a roster of 80+ guys, someone would be able to snap it better than Clark.

Yes, I know he's terrible at blocking. But the idea that he can't catch is pretty absurd.

Unless we get pressure up front, get used to it. Love when we bring in a nickel and that player blows.

[gflore34]

I don't get it, when you need 8 yards, why in the world would throw the ball 6 yards? That was a staple of Turner offense - throw the ball short of marker.

That comment was "tongue in cheek" by Wilson. The point is having a TE that is completely useless in the run game and is not a difference maker in the passing game blows goats. I wish Olsen was quick enough to be considered a WR.
