    Niko's defense isn't bad. Had a few steals. Picking off balls in the paint like Pippen.
  2. Wilson A2000
    Not an Orioles fan, but I forgot they don't have Wieters, Machado, or Davis and still led the league in homers. They will be good for a while.

    Everyone knows the TV ratings are going to skyrocket, most likely beginning next year. There's no way the TV deal has to be set in stone for the next 20 years based on the poor ratings the last few years?

    He's one of the hosts of NFL AM on the NFL Network. On the radio a lot here in Atlanta. The Falcons strength in their WRs is the strength of the Bears defense with their corners. The Falcons can't run the ball, so the Bears can focus on attacking Ryan. There are no good matchups for the Falcons on defense.

    Steve Wyche said the exact opposite

    I'd rather be DC of the Bears than head coach of the Raiders unless they move to L.A. I still think Trestman is on the hot seat. Rex as head coach next year? Could Kromer be OC and actually call plays? I know he is OC now, obviously just a formal title.
  7. Wilson A2000
    Atlanta could be a good fit for him if Smith gets bounced, offense is in place already I don't see the owner wanting a Rex type of coach, but I think he would be a good fit

    Angelo now saying the "hundreds and hundreds" comment was not referring to domestic abuse. Just anything done against NFL rules? To be fair, the USA Today quote is a snippet and doesn't properly set the context, something Angelo doesn't have control over in the published article. But on Twitter, people link the hundreds to domestic abuse and quote Angelo.
  9. Wilson A2000
    Would Oakland or Jacksonville or Miami or Buffalo give him a head coaching job first? Those teams have crappy offenses and that's something Rex can't fix.
  10. Wilson A2000
    Back to Rex Ryan. Can he coach a 4-3 or is it time for the Bears to move to a 3-4? Would a 3-4 even work with the personnel the Bears have, especially Ferguson and Sutton?

    With respect to every decision made, there are good ones and bad ones (and relatively inconsequential ones). Numbers and probabilities are our best bet at figuring out which ones are which. What the hell else is there? Managerial instinct, the traditionalists say. "I saw so-and-so hit well in the cage today despite his recent struggles and I will pinch-hit him in the 8th." I don't buy that there is a psychology and sociology to the game, things we haven't figured out yet that influence how players think, but I think it's possible and one day it could be quantifiable.
  12. Wilson A2000
    I saw highlights from the Pistons game and he looked clueless. Maybe just a few bad clips.
  13. Wilson A2000
    "For whatever reason, it just got glossed over." But then later in the article he admits that the Bears and the other teams he worked for just wanted to win games and if everyone in the domestic incident was OK (sure they always were!), they wouldn't discipline the player. The McCaskeys can't be happy with Jerry saying that.
  14. Wilson A2000
    The Falcons have a horrible, horrible defense. The Bears will score at least 30. They are terrified of the Bears offense.
  15. Wilson A2000
    If there was ever two games for Bushrod to miss, this is the time. The Falcons might as well drop everyone into coverage.
  16. Wilson A2000
    6 safeties on the roster. Guessing Conte is out this week at least. Also wonder with the 2 LBs signed to the practice squad if that's not bad news for McClellin and/or Bostic. Adam Hoge was on The Game this afternoon and mentioned that early word is that Conte's concussion wasn't too severe. (the rest is him speculating, not anything the Bears have said) Don't be shocked if he's out there Sunday despite 2 concussions in 45 days. Is there really such a thing as a minor concussion?
  17. Wilson A2000
    Does Rose look timid at all or just rusty or acting just like every other player who doesn't play hard in the preseason?
  18. Wilson A2000
    Eckstein said his brother works for the Angels as an envoy between the stats geeks and Scioscia to help Scioscia understand how advanced metrics relate to in-game strategy. Do most teams have a guy like this or does the GM do it? What about the Cubs?
  19. Wilson A2000
    David Eckstein was interviewed on ESPN Radio yesterday. Said Scoscia is a great manager even though he plays small ball. Bunting might be anti-sabermetric, but it builds team confidence and team unity he said because you can see people sacrificing for the team. It's an unquantifiable managerial decision that sabermetrics overlooks. That's why Scoscia's great. Stupid baseball decisions build team unity?
  20. Wilson A2000
    Absolutely, but it would never happen. Why not? Too much of an alpha dog for Trestman?
  21. Wilson A2000
    Would you want Rex Ryan as the Bears DC next year?
  22. Wilson A2000
    who are you arguing with? Him I'm not a Bears fan but Trestman is a quality coach. Losses aren't on him.
  23. Wilson A2000
    You seemed to be talking about years before 2013. You said Eli was the choker in 2013, but before that it was Peyton. Not a stretch to think you weren't talking about their careers. Then let's argue that these losses aren't on Trestman. Who hired the defensive and special teams coordinators? That would be Trestman and he certainly bears his fair share of the blame. Trestman is a good OC, but he's a below average head coach.
  24. Wilson A2000
    In 3-5 years the GM, whoever that is, could draft well and the Bears could get a number of good FAs. How many times did the media say that after 2006 the Bears window was pretty much shut? Well it wasn't. Hard to predict what will happen, but I don't think it's necessarily bleak.
  25. Wilson A2000
    Emery got fooled. Jay is what he is. He's not going to improve much or change significantly despite Trestman's best efforts and Jay having more babies and getting more mature and seeing leadership gurus in New York City. You can improve the offense by putting better people around him, but I don't see Jay being a Pro-Bowler again, making better decisions, or living up to his ability. Jay could get you into the playoffs, but I have a hard time believing he will be the QB who will win you four straight against playoff caliber teams. Emery could have chosen coordinators who a lot of people wanted. Instead he went with a guy that no one in the NFL had wanted as a head coach for years in Trestman. Yes Trestman worked wonders with the offense last year. But his glaring weaknesses are his coordinator hires. Hires that should be gone next year.
