I hear ya. I just don't think Jerry knows how to do offense. I really don't. Cutler fell in his lap and he's been stumbling and fumbling to figure out how to take advantage ever since. Offensive line was the big bugaboo in Tampa for several years when their defense made them legit.

Don't worry about that Jerry, you definitely don't have stars at every position. Or any position for that matter. Well now, Peppers and Hester (as a returner) are stars. And Urlacher and Briggs if you stretch the definition a touch. But yeah, pretty ridiculous statement on his part. I was specifically thinking about the offensive line, it consists of 5 positions. In a more general sense the entire offense is lacking in stars. Cutler is star capable, but he's pretty far down the list of star QBs out there. Hester is a special teams star. Forte is a reliable runner, but no star. He makes a point that can't have stars at every position. It would be nice to have a legit pro bowl caliber offensive lineman, at least somewhere. And something resembling a star at WR. New England knows they can't have stars everywhere, but they have stars. Indy knows they can't have stars everywhere, but they have stars.

Yeah, I don't think he was the best. That's the point. He was targeted a lot and put up decent numbers, but in a very inefficient manner.
-
I think that supports the idea that he's an innefficient receiver who can beat you with his legs by going deep but far from ideal in an offense which requires route running, timing and being in the right place. The guy looked clueless out there many times. But with no few weapons available and his natural talent, they had to use him.

Hester is probably the Bears 4th best receiver, imo. Hopefully this is just preseason bluster. My impression of Knox is that he was not where he needed to be far too often to be considered the Bears best receiver last year. He may have ended with the better numbers, but he left a lot on the table.

Minor League Discussion & Boxes 8-7-11
jersey cubs fan replied to Outshined_One's topic in Cubs Minor League Talk
Looking forward to having no option but Colvin in RF next year, were you? If Jim Hendry can't manage to find a corner outfielder for less than $6 million that can put up an OPS around .800, he's worse than I thought. I would imagine a corner OF with an 800 OPS for $6m or less would probably be pretty hard to acquire. -

Deosn't that qualify as botching the play?
-
Are there inside-the-park home runs that don't somehow involve a play being botched? Isn't it typically an OF diving for a ball and missing it, so it gets behind him, and then the other OF is slow to back him up?
-
Which makes me think that Chris Williams is probably the most likely candidate to get replaced by Spencer. Yeah, Tice's quote about the 5 being set unless one of them proves him wrong makes me think they are pressuring Williams to improve, or they will slot Spencer into C with Garza back to RG and Louis flipping to left side. They could also decide to just slide Spencer in at left guard to keep everyone else where they are. I think they actually like Garza at C. They could, but I think that puts more guys at unfamiliar positions. Spencer is a C, Garza is a G. Seems odd to try out an old guard at center and have your new center learn to play guard when you can just put them both in their normal positions.

Mark Schlereth might. He said person, as in human, not neanderthal.

Just because he's hispanic? Geez man, that's racist.
-
5th time this year he's gone three straight days, 3rd time since the beginning of July. He went from being well off his normal games/innings pace to being right back in-line.
-
Three days in a row, five of last six. By all means, run him out there.
-
So Todd Hundley?
-
Score a couple runs and let Samardzija close it out, no reason to throw Marmol again just because Dusty is here.
-
Without this ~ we're okay.
-
Sorry his last name confused me. Let's make him Tony Camp to avoid such confusion in the future. Wait Tony sounds Italian...are we ok with Italians? From the North or the Sicilian kind?
-
Has Wood actually underperformed his discounted contract this year?
-
Ok, you can't be real. What's Castro looking at? Hot chick in center.
-
My impression is that Barney has not had much time off this year since he took over the starting role. He's played in every game since the ASG and started all but one, plus he's struggled at the plate since the break. I don't have a problem with him sitting, and at this stage in the game there's no reason to worry about forfeit lineups. Although it would be nice to prevent Dusty's Reds from overtaking Pittsburgh for 4th place. Yeah, good point. Plus DeWitt's actually had a decent (for him) last couple of weeks, albeit in a very limited capacity. Going back to the Barney point, was he the one that struggled to get down a sac bunt in Pittsburgh? Could that be the reason he's sitting, and not just the normal need for rest?

First I heard of it
