Guess I'll have to wait that long.

Like I said in the the other Bears thread, the NFLN does live look-in's on the preseason games. You might get lucky and see bits and pieces.

Awesome, let's single out a 2nd-year tackle who really isn't as bad as people think he is.

 

15th is too low but that's the way the Bears (and myself) like it.

That doesn't sound like anybody here.

Erik Kramer on Jay Cutler, paraphrased:

 

"His footwork and reads look like they're improved, but more important, he's taking on more of a leadership role."

[Careless]

Why haven't we cut Taylor yet, anyway?

[UMFan83]

Wow, not a good start for the line. Cutler dropped back to pass 3 times, once the play quickly broke down and he threw an underhanded to forte for no gain, the 2nd time the play broke down again and Cutler scrambled for a first. The third time he was sacked. Also several running plays went for little gain.

 

Also Corey Wooten wa injured on the kickoff and out for the game.

[Careless]

Got to love a hold+two players being free to sack the QB on a 4 man rush

[Careless]

You don't want to be tackled by having one guy on your legs, two grabbing you by your shoulders, and a guy with a running start slamming you from the front.

[UMFan83]

Major Wright looking fairly sharp so far.

[UMFan83]

Cutler is gone from the game. Did not throw an overhand pass in his first preseason game.

 

The oline needs a ton of work. First three plays in the second series: 2 yard run and back to back sacks.

 

About as brutal of a start for the line as you could possibly have.

 

$20 million left in cap space....

[Careless]

Cutler's line for the night: 1 for 1, 0 yards, 12ish yards running.

 

Taylor with the only three rushes in the first quarter (Forte got the 0 yard pass) for 3 yards

[Careless]

And hospital systems bought all of the ad space for the game

[UMFan83]

Man I really hope the line is better than this. That did not look like an NFL caliber line out there tonight.

Were you expecting it to? Bad players after a really short practice period?

Looking for justification for not spending any money on the line besides the backup C. You are allowed to be bad but 3 sacks in 8 plays and 3 2 yard runs. The Qb has dropped back to pass 5 times and hasn't been able to get off an overhand pass yet.

[Careless]

Can we cut Taylor now?

[UMFan83]

Making judgements in preseaon games is pointless but Barber >>> Taylor

[Careless]

This year's offense: get the receivers out, have the line collapse, and the QB runs for all the yards

[Careless]

So why are the Bears kicking off from the 30?

[UMFan83]

Between his performance in the NFC Title game and his strong performances every preseason, if Jay Cutler has a bad game or two and the meatballs will be out in full force demanding Hanie.

[Careless]

lol Cutler's 1-1 for 0 is a 79.2 QB rating
