Breaking Down the Minnesota Vikings

Here are my thoughts on the Minnesota Vikings, as currently constructed, as the Bears prepare to face them in the horribly cold conditions at the University of Minnesota.  I’m straying from the normal analysis and trying to look at this one a bit differently. I want Percy Harvin to start.  I have sung Dave Toub’s... Read more »

Monday Night May Decide Lovie's Fate

No one know where the Bears and Vikings are going to play their Monday Night Football contest.  The Metrodome roof is about a shaky as Frank Omiyale’s blindside protection and TCF Bank Stadium – the outdoor facility home to the University of Minnesota’s football team – needs to know by the end of Tuesday whether...

Three Ways To Beat the Vikings

Prevent the Big AP Run I never believe in the statistics when it comes to the Bears rush defense, especially against AP.  Peterson has had a knack for playing possum throughout a first half and then breaking an 85 yarder and breaking open the football game.  For me, this responsibility falls squarely on the shoulders...

The (Injured) Long Snapper Hits the NFC North

THE CHICAGO BEARS SIGNED TODD COLLINS and it’s a wise move.  I’d like to see Collins log some serious minutes this weekend against the Cardinals as the Bears were essentially running out the clock after Cutler’s exit from the Raiders game.  Collins also sounds like a pretty confident guy, “It’s a hard offense to learn, especially...

Audibles From the Long Snapper

Why I Don’t Mind Not Having Number One PicksGerald McCoy is waiting for Sam Bradford to sign.  Ndamukong Suh and the Lions haven’t even begun speaking.  NFL franchises are about to invest huge percentages of their salary caps into unproven commodities who most likely won’t be able to make an on-field impact until the middle...

More Audibles From the Long Snapper

StarCaps Trail Over: Suspensions UnlikelyThe entire StarCaps situation, from start to finish, has been an utter disaster for the NFL.  They have all-but begged the legal world to punish the Williams sisters while the Vikings and Minnesota court system has laughed and gone about their business.  Now the jury-less trial is over and Florio at...

Audibles From the Long Snapper

Sharper Has Knee Surgery The reason Darren Sharper has yet to sign a contract for 2010 is rapidly becoming clear as the New Orleans Times-Picayune is reporting that Sharper was on crutches following knee surgery.  I’ve been an advocate of signing Sharper for over a year but a player at that age with injury concerns...

Agenda #1: Who to Re-Sign?

Per Florio, the current crop of Bears free agents:Chicago Bears: (restricted) DE Mark Anderson, S Josh Bullocks, DT Dusty Dvoracek, S Danieal Manning, LB Nick Roach, LB Jamar Williams; (unrestricted) LB Darrell McClover, DE Adewale Ogunleye, RB Adrian Peterson, LB Pisa Tinoisamoa. So who does Jerry re-sign?  I think Pisa, Jamar and Roach should all... Read more »

A Tuesday Rodeo

I’m fascinated by the number of post-weekend football columns written around the internet and reports on television with dumb, football-y type names.  Inside the Huddle, Monday Morning Quarterback, The Blitz,The Locker Room, Four Down Territory, Two-Minute Drill…etc.  It’s all very silly.  I was thinking about what I would use for my Tuesday bit and have...
