Bears Extend Idonije For 2 years

guy incognito — Fri, 29 May 2009 17:00:22 -0000

Well, I'm glad that's done with. Idonije gets a 2 year extension worth about $7 million.

Good move by the Bears...he has played really well, and is incredbly versatile on the line. Good use of the money we have available. I think he's a much better investment than 'Wale, who I really hope we don't extend, or resign. According to the article, it looks like we've also signed most of our draft picks...top 3 picks still have to sign, though.

pat williams - apparently out 2-6 weeks

guy incognito — Mon, 15 Dec 2008 23:27:42 -0000

his shoulder is jacked up - broken scapula. espn said he's out 2-6 weeks. so, it seems he won't be in for the last 2 games of the season. maybe that means "the burner" has a chance to run wild next week, though kevin williams is still a beast, as is allen. with two major running teams coming up, i'm slightly more optimistic about the chances the vikings lose out. though we still have to win 10.

so...about the williams wall

when are we going to find out if they are actually going to be suspended? i don't think they're really guilty of anything steroids-related, but they did violate league rules agreed upon in the collective bargaining agreement. metcalf did his time earlier this year for a similar situation. i think the league needs to revisit this stuff as is, but for the time being, the rules are the rules. if they actually didn't play last weekend, i'm pretty sure minny would have lost to detroit.

bowman's season done?

guy incognito — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 01:26:06 -0000

this is getting ridiculous. bowman, after getting a lot of dap for his work on sunday, might be out for the season with his bicep injury. good god, our secondary is getting beat to hell. every freaking year this seems to happen. our secondary can never seem to stay healthy. i hope all our DBs are healed up during the off week. if not, man, we're in serious trouble, considering the fact that our d-line cannot pressure qbs at all. though maybe babich will use the bye week to finally scrap the cover-2 in favor of more physical coverage.

Gio called up

guy incognito — Tue, 05 Aug 2008 20:41:14 -0000

According to this article, Gio's en route to the big club. While I would have preferred to have him stay down just a little bit longer to keep working on his control, he has been dominating AAA at times. I suspect if Meyer didn't have to pitch last night, he would have gotten the start Thursday. Instead, looks like it's Gio's debut. If Eveland gets his control back, I wonder if he comes back up (and Gio goes down) in a few weeks. Well...let's see what the kid can do Wednesday.

orton gets the start next week

guy incognito — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 21:53:57 -0000

it's orton's turn now to start. smart move...we need to see if kyle has progressed much to be either a legit #2 (ours, or to trade) or compete for the #1 job next year. i hope opening up the playbook for him will allow him to play much better than he did as a rookie. orton was one of the best QBs in college at purdue and carved up good defenses regularly. hopefully his mediocre stats before were mostly a result of a) being a rookie, and b) having a majorly scaled back playbook.

grossman - no surgery needed

guy incognito — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 22:12:24 -0000

whew...at least he won't have to spend the offseason rehabbing from surgery. though it seems certain that he's done for the year. bring on orton - season's over, we need to see if he can at least be the #2 next year. i also think grossman returning is a lock...nobody is going to give him a big contract. we lose nothing by giving him a short, incentive-based deal.

vasher out at least 1 month, tillman out 2 weeks

guy incognito — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 09:39:33 -0000

sun times article drops this gem. i had no idea tillman was hurt that badly...ankle injury. man, this game absolutely killed us. harris might be out a month, we lose both CBs, our QB gets dumped, and our SS breaks his hand. well, i guess the move to griese makes more sense, at least for the short term, now. we absolutely cannot have our offense hurt us at all with turnovers for a few games. i hope backus and johnson both are out this week for detroit, or else our defense is in a lot of trouble.

did we get anything for kennedy?

guy incognito — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 20:38:23 -0000

haven't seen anybody come our way from arizona. does that mean no deal was reached and we basically gave him away? as maddening as he had been this year for us, wouldn't he have been a type b free agent, considering how good a reliever he had been for us the past 2 seasons? we could have at least gotten a decent draft pick had we sucked up the cost of keeping him the rest of the year.

chavvy's real injury issue?

guy incognito — Thu, 07 Jun 2007 14:36:38 -0000

did anybody catch this article, mentioning chavez having a nerve problem, not tendinitis? maybe this explains why he's been swinging the bat much better the last few weeks? the article is really encouraging, pointing out that they've been able to treat him much more precisely for his woes. on the other hand, it means the a's medical staff missed yet another diagnosis for about 2 months w/ chavvy - i know, its tough to pinpoint things sometimes, but they consistently miss things. does this mean the old chavvy is back? because that would be fantastic.
