I cant vouch for that but it just seems he knows Obumma better than the rest of us.

Mmmmmm....... that could be a good thing, or that could be a bad thing.  Its bad enough he roots for GB, but being a bud to the prez pretty much puts him on my "your not getting invited to celebrate the Bears" list.

One of the most interesting articles I have seen on the new "hybrid" type of players and new offensive schemes.  Includes video.  Just hover your mouse over the pic.

 
Athletic, hybrid tight ends are carving out an important place in the modern NFL. Which players in the 2013 NFL Draft represent the next generation of jokers?

 After years of decline ... the fuuckin trenches on OL ... must be in mind

I'm sick and fuucking tired of having the NFL nation tell us what we already know

The OL in years past has decided to blow

Wanting the Franchise upright is known to us all

A fuucking honest goddamn chance to throw the ball

A three step drop to throw it to Marshall

Time it seems is the name of the game

An OL finally that you cannot blame

For JCut if given the chance

Can toss it to Forte who will burn their ass

Bennett which one I dont know for sure

An OL for JCut will make that all clear

The Defense is sighing with a sigh of relief

The fuuckin OL is carrying this team

The fans are in an uproar at Soldiers Field

Another touchdown by DAA BEARRSSE

Because the OL made us EQUAL.

Hiber's if I were GM this is what I would do mock draft:

Round 1: Warmack or Cooper  OG

Round 2: B. Jones C

Round 4: J. Bostic LB

Round 5: C. Fuller WR

Round 6: E. Herman OG

Well after signing Slausen and reading this
Offensive tackle Gabe Carimi was selected by the Chicago Bears 29th overall in the 2011 NFL draft to help solidify the offensive line. To this point, Carimi has not lived up to expectatio...

it's not clear to me whether or not guard will be a big need.

It's also quite possible teams in front will get their heads on straight and take the guards as they are the better players in this draft.

I am not sold on Carimi at OG. I do agree that Slausen will man LG and do well.

 There are currently 70 players on the CHICAGO BEARS including :

Joe Anderson WR

Brandon Cort T

James Brown T

Blake Costanzo LB

Dom DeCicco LB

Derrick Dennis OL

Brody Eldridge TE

Jerry Franklin LB

Britten Golden WR

LeQuan Lewis CB

Sherrick McMans CB

Gabe Miller TE

Dale Moss WR

Tom Nelson S

Fendi Onobun TE

Cheta Ozougwu DE

Cyril Quartes S

Chris Riley G

Terrence Toliver WR

Patrick Trahan LB

Anthony Walters S

Aston Whiteside DE

Lawrence Williams LB

Youre probably asking yourself who are these guys and are they going to make the team ?

Or just the usual practice dummys and camp fodder ? Anyway they are on the team.

My favorite is Fendi Onobun TE , its when you order fendi on a bun at a restaurant with a side order of fries.

Ahh ... could you dip the fendi in au jus please ? And bring extra napkins.

I really hope we don't go LB with our first pick.  I think we can get by with the starters we have.  I also personally like the idea of leaving the door open for Urlacher return after draft wrapped up.  At a fair price for team.

Additionally we really need to finish the OL rebuild project, 3 years too long.  If we don't draft an OL with one of first two picks it will be a fail IMO.

Note the last paragraph...

The Packers like offensive linemen who can play multiple spots on the offensive line.

For that reason, they apparently like David Quessenberry.

An offensive lineman from San Jose State who is projected to be a mid-round pick, Quessenberry has caught the attention of Packers G.M. Ted Thompson.  According to Rob Demovsky of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Thompson and his scouts spent time at the Senior Bowl watching Quesenberry play all five positions on the offensive line.

Not bad for a guy who arrived at college as a tight end.

“I’ve been getting a lot of different feedback from a lot of different teams,” Quessenberry told Demovsky.  “A lot of people see me as a tackle, and others see me as a guard or center.  A team like Green Bay, they see me at all five, and that’s where my value is, being able to play all those positions and handle all that.  I’ve gotten real positive feedback from them.”

Thompson, per Demovsky, has taken at least one offensive lineman per year, and a total of 14 in eight drafts.  Primarily a left tackle in college, Quesenberry would be the fifth Packers offensive lineman who played left tackle at the NCAA level.

The Packers have also been pretty bad at running the ball and really not that great pass blocking either.  Rodgers gets sacked a lot for a guy who gets rid of the ball so quickly.

I am not sure I would model my O-line after the Packers.  QB and WR drafting yes, O-line no.

Well the Pack may not pick the correct players, but they don't avoid OL like they have the plague like Angeblow did.

And the only times Angelo did take an O-Linemen high he picked the wrong ones.

Personally I liked Hatleys philosphy on drafting the O-line.  He took at least one every single year.  Usually in the third round.

 Dont we know it.

 Angelo was never Hatley in a defensive minded scheme which seems to have fallen to the wayside in order to win.

 Thank God theres a future. Maybe Hatleys back in a rejuvinated form ... we'll see.
