    So far we haven't seen anything that indicates Jaramillo has much to do with it. I think The Ballpark is a much bigger factor. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/news/051207galarudy.html Not meant to sway you in any way, but it gives you an idea of who he is, I guess.
  2. David
    Levine reporting that the Cubs are interested.

    It was a strange move to demote Joshua in the first place, given the fact that, if anything (at least from what I remembered reading on here), the Cubs offensive numbers improved after the change. Maybe they had this in mind.

    I know, it's Rogers... but this is the one hitting coach hire that would actually get me excited. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-14-rogers-inside-baseball-oct14,0,346410.column

    That's why actually exactly why Toub told him to run it that way.
  6. David
    it could be, if the players who replace him are decent enough scorers who play significantly better defense and you get the ball in the hands of a better player (although he wasn't yet better last year) more often as a result of it. the jury is still out on whether that winds up being the case, though.

    The Niners also moved up after beating up on a terrible team.

    There's nothing wrong with being pass first when you have Jay Cutler at QB. In fact, you're doing yourself a disservice if you're not. That said, have to get better at using the pass to set up the run.

    Now, can we stop all the nonsense with the blitzing and stay in Cover 2 for however long we continue to generate consistent pressure? I hate, hate, hate how blitz happy we've been. The middle of the field has been wide the hell open.

    Well, FWIW, he's only averaging .1 ypc less than last year at this point... big plays are part of that just like the short ones are. I've never understood why people try to pull out the big plays and say he's only averaging 3 yards or whatever outside of the big ones (or whatever - not saying you're doing that but just putting it out there). My point being that the run game wasn't all that good last year and his overall production this year so far as a runner isn't that far off what he was last year. He's solid, not great, at running the ball. The fact that he's solid at so many facets of the game is where his value really lies. And yea, if our line was better at run blocking his numbers would obviously be better.

    They don't seem to care right now...Orton has proven capable enough to run their offense it seems. I bet most would tell you they'd rather have Orton than Cutler. Cutler has been awesome the last 3 games, but he's had 3 game stretches of awesomeness in the past only to see a leveling off. I think Cutler is legit and what he shows is an improvement over last year, but the jury is still out a bit. The jury is not still out at all. Especially not within the context of comparing him to Orton.

    I can't believe you have never been to a game. Are you tailgating to get the full day experience? Regardless, have a great time. Thanks. No tailgating. Friend lives in a building pretty close (like LSD and Randolph) so we're going to take a cab from there. Will probably get there early to check out as much of the stadium as possible.
  13. David
    Thanks... It's actually my first football game, period... Noon on Sunday can't get here soon enough
  14. David
    Going to the game this weekend as of a little while ago... My first Bears game ever... can't wait
  15. David
    Pretty sure he was asking, "Really?" about what he put in bold.
  16. David
    I am. Why take away any snaps from this young WR corps when all we've seen of them is good performance and progress on a week to week basis? I don't want an old and bad WR who used to be good on the roster. And I don't want to hear anything about veteran leadership and taking the young guys under his wing, because that couldn't be any further from the type of guy Marvin is.
  17. David
    They're going to look to sign Marvin Harrison to replace our #4/#5 WR?
  18. David
    lol now Morrissey, who, if you haven't been following, bashed the trade when it happened and has looked for any opportunity to criticize Cutler since, is comparing Cutler to Tom Brady.... http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/chi-30-morrissey-jay-cutler-sep30,0,315321.column
  19. David
    Yea, I have no idea why they would want anything to do with Marvin Harrison at this point.
  20. David
    What's your issue? The headline? Cuz I'm sure David Haugh didn't write that. If you're saying that's an anti-Cutler article, I disagree strongly. Agreed. Haugh is a huge Cutler fan and there was nothing really idiotic about it. And Haugh is awesome. I can't blame the out of towners for not knowing that, though. You get a much better feel for who these guys are when you see them on local TV all the time and you hear them on the radio everyday.

    Just to continue looking at how the Broncos WR are doing vs. our maligned corps. I think this season will be a pretty interesting case study for this, since a swap like this is pretty unprecedented. Hester 13 rec 187 yds 2TD Bennett 13 rec 168 yds 0TD Knox 9 rec 159 yds 2TD Marshall 12 rec 128 yds 1TD Gaffney 10 rec 146 yds 0TD Stokley 6 rec 157 yds 1TD Royal 6 rec 42 yds 0 TD And don't forget how Stokley got half those yards and the TD. We'll get even more of a look as the Broncos start to play some real teams and we start to play some crappier ones.

    All blue was awesome... that green thing looks like vomit

    They play the Falcons on SNF after the bye on October 18th. They play the Bengals the week after that. After that, you won't see them until back to back national games on Thurs night (11/12) vs. SF and on SNF (11/22) vs. the Eagles.

    Hey. He was traded for Ken Griffey, Jr. One of the greatest players of our generation. He's got to be good if the Reds got Griffey for him 10 years ago. And yes, OMC, this would be the ultimate Cubs move: Sign a guy who used to be good a long time ago but is worthless now, and then the front office crows about the big-name FA we signed and how they're trying their damndest to win. Besides successfully taking a flier on Jim Edmonds at league minimum, when the hell was the last time the Cubs have done this? If anything, their most recent MO has been to overpay players coming off the best years of their career. I wouldn't be able to argue with that. Your Cubs melodrama reaches insane proportions sometimes.

    Seriously... WTF responses in this thread? Cameron would be a nice addition assuming he isn't paid something insane. EDIT - I see that this has been mostly straightened out in the rest of the thread...
