Just read a BleacherReport article where a guy predicted Emery would let Idonije walk and replace him with Calais Campbell, the 25-year old FA DE from the Cardinals.

Izzy is a good player and a quality guy so I would be shocked if that really happened, but if it did, it would have to be considered an upgrade. Campbell is a physical freak (6'8 300) who has been under the radar on bad Arizona teams but could present opposing OLs with some real problems if they had to choose between doubling him and Peppers. 

This past year was Campbell's best as a pro with 53 solo tackles, 8 sacks, 10 passes defended, 2 forced fumbles and an INT.

Yeah, and cut bait on Wootton.

Sounds good to me.  The only problem with that is, between the money you'd be paying those two DEs there wouldn't be enough left over for a WR.

It will be very interesting to see how much churn (or not) there is on the Bears DL this offseason.

Other than Peppers, the group clearly underperformed, especially in pass situations.  But the question is, who's to blame?

Here's how I break it out:

   Locks - Peppers, Paea, Toeaina, Melton

   Probably Returning - Izzy

   Hanging by a Thread - Wootton

   Goners - Anthony Adams

Did I forget anyone?

No one has been cut yet that I know of.

But then, it is only Emery's 2nd day on the job. I assume he'll want to talk to the coaches and watch some film before he starts swinging the axe.

 I will miss Angelo, Martz, and Ruskell, but I can still see them on the AMC channel.

Tim Ruskell out as Bears player personnel director

 By Sean Jensen on January 30, 2012 10:19 AM| 8 Comments| No TrackBacks



New Bears general manager Phil Emery didn't waste much time making a big decision.

He's relieved Tim Ruskell of his duties as the Bears director of player personnel. The team described the decision as "mutually agreed upon."

Ruskell had been the interim general manager since Jerry Angelo was let go Jan. 3. Ruskell had previously been the president of the Seattle Seahawks.

Ruskell and Emery have history, though.

When he was the assistant general manager in Atlanta, Ruskell hired Emery as the college scouting director. That was Emery's first big break in the NFL, having served as an area scout for the Bears from 1998 to 2004.

Details aren't clear. But, it's believed Ruskell will collect the remainder of his contract.

One of the reasons for the move, as well, is that Emery is expected to structure his department with a director for the college and pro side, not someone who oversees both

The Ruskell thing happened a couple days ago already...  but it's such good news I don't mind seeing it again.
