Official Bears Week Thread

He's a site better than Adam (Hanky) Pankey.

Maybe at guard. It will interesting to see how the taxi squad does tonight, if they really are worse than Murphy & Barclay.

The good news is that Bak and Bulaga will be back soon. Not a season ruining problem.

The bad news is that Don Barclay will be returning from IR

I wouldn't bet on it. They might prefer to bring back Spriggs and Murphy.

Do you mean Spriggs or Murphy? or have the rules changed again?

You can bring back 2 players off IR now, Try to keep up Blue Dog.

Murphy on something called Instagram:

Tough to hear the news this week that I'm going to be sidelined with an injury for a little bit. Had a blast competing with my teammates the first 3 weeks but I'm looking forward to watching them continue to ball out going forward. Just a little bump in the road but I'll be back stronger than ever ��������

I believe instagram is a part of the social media.

Does he seem to be saying good bye for the year to you?

Or just long odds since only two of them can come back?

I know it's one game and one bad day at the office, but is there any thought that maybe it's time to say goodbye to Randall, at least in the form of a team-imposed suspension?

Boy, he was waving his arms and gesticulating so much on that TD burn I thought maybe King had screwed up the coverage, but it appeared to my untrained eye like Randall either thought they were playing zone or that he got caught peeking into the backfield.

Anybody smarter than I am tell me what happened on that play?

heard there was a defensive call to go man and he went zone. was benched. sulked about it. was either told to go and left on his own. they're "handling it internally."

That kinda screwup would explain a lot of his weird coverages. But I have seen King do it too.

I wonder why that particular call is tough to discern.

This wouldn't surprise me. Seems like the kid has talent but is a bit of a mess between the ears. Coverage mistakes can happen, you gotta handle it better than sulking though.
Hopefully Whitt can be a CB whisperer and talk him off the ledge. The team will need him -- it's a long season, and who knows when House will be back. Hawkins got away with a few things in coverage.

Unrelated, but how stupid are the DL rules in football? Why not let guys come back when they're healthy? Player safety focused and all... Maybe let you specify whether they'll be out 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 8 weeks or season. The way it is is not very good for promoting player safety.

Its to prevent teams from stashing players for development.

Baseball has looser rules, but they have a 25/40 man roster limits controlling it. Lotta room to maneuver. You would have to add a lot of roster spots to get that kind of flexibility in football, more than just the taxi squad.
