  1. Furcal is risky...He sucked all of 07' and was injured almost all of 08'. I wonder what kind of contract he is looking for.
  2. The Cards are definitely trying to sell high with Ludwick. I doubt hes a Cardinal next year.
  3. I read a columnist type suggest it, I haven't read anybody saying it will happen. I don't think it'll work. It's fine for Miami when they are using one of their 2 RBs, but Hester is a little receiver, he's not going to be able to do the same things. And not to be a pessimist about it or anything, but has Hester made anyone miss a tackle all season? Frankly, Hester just doesn't seem all that dangerous so far this year. I mentioned it a few weeks ago. He seems as if he's lost a step or two. He seems to always get a big burst of speed up the middle when he breaks a big one, but this year he's constantly going to the sideline and running/being pushed out. He's definitely not the same. I wonder if any/how much of that is because Ayanbadejo is gone. I disagree, I really don't think hes lost a step. I think it basically boils down to less holes being opened up where he can use his burst. Hes pushing everything outside cause theres nothing open in the middle, and good coverage pushes him out to the sidelines, which is what we've seen. The blocking just isn't as good as it has been, which definitely can be attributed to losing someone like Ayanbadejo.
  4. this would be nice, hes still cheap too isn't he?
  5. When I read about Williams coming back it caught me a little off guard cause I just put him out of my head after his injury in preseason. It is optimistic for him to see the field against the Lions...however it appears he will have 2 weeks of practice in him...which seems if hes ready to go then thats a good enough amount of time to at least see a couple snaps. Hopefully the bears can blow the lions out again and let him see a drive or two. He knows all his blocking assignments, its just a matter of him getting playing time. Hes not gonna help the Bears on the bench, if they think the upgrade from St. Clair to him is worth the risk they need to put him in there. Even if its an incredibly slow process. Let him get in there and make some mistakes, to see Garza pushed out of the starting lineup is an upgrade worth gunning for. Forte running 30 times a game for 3 yards a carry is tough on him, it would be nice to see more holes opened up. As for Hester, he does seem to be making less people miss. But its just not easy for a returner to do what he does every year. has there ever been 2 consecutive seasons put up that compared to Hester's? I doubt it, its hard for someone to keep that up. The more important thing is that he hasn't lost a step, and his role as a receiver is growing. The way he intimidates the opposing team kicking to him and the possibility of him breaking one is still worth his regression as a returner. I still see him returning 2-3 for TD's this season, hard to complain.
  6. From what I hear people are expecting Williams will be able to play in this game. I don't know what people have been saying about this, if its true its probably been talked about on here at some point. The emphasis on the o-line being a cohesive unit that benefits from familiarity would suggest that Williams being inserted isn't likely to happen. However if he can play him stepping into the LT position and St. Clair going back to G replacing Garza seems like it could greatly benefit the team. Just haven't heard many official updates and I wonder how he feels and what the chances of him playing are.
  7. What a fantastic haul for the Lions. Too bad Millen won't be there to make those picks.
  8. got it
  9. unbelievable right now
  10. we wait
  11. im on my 2nd pint of labatt blue with 2 waiting in the wings
  12. ive been thinkin about shaving my coinpurse
  13. I eat shrooms too
  14. I love how our deep lineup that should be more slump proof are all dead all at the same time.
  15. the best way for me to deal with this is for them to be blown out...then i can just detach myself from the emotions. ill shake my head in disbelief and just laugh later
  16. Damnit, didn't you know that posting stats that favors the Cubs always jinxes them? Don't you know that jerkin it to anime is the #1 cause of death for kittens and other small animals? I don't jack to anime that often oh alright, its probably me then
