What exactly has Martz been doing to his Offense?
by scespy12 on Dec 19, 2010 4:32 AM EST
on Windy City Gridiron
We all know that Martz has a "fondness" for the pass, but what has been going on with his O?
Yes I realize that the obvious answer is "running the ball" but what I mean is what has this done to the offense that created the greatest show on turf?

Origins of Football (1890s to 1933)

on Windy City Gridiron
Professional football began in 1892 when the Allegheny Athletic Association paid former Yale guard Pudge Heffelinger to play in a game against the Pittsburgh Athletic Association. Heffelinger returned a fumble 35 yds for a touchdown in the 4-0 walloping. At that time, touchdowns were counted as one point. The first truly professional game was played in 1895 in

Breaking Down the Play That Ended The Bears' Season
by scespy12 on May 7, 2009 1:55 PM EDT
in Xs and Os
on Windy City Gridiron
So I thought that I'd give you guys a looksie into the play that ended our season last year.
Week 17 vs Texans....
The play started with the base Tampa-2 with the responsibilities of the base defense shown.
The offense is running an easy I formation, a very common running formation, as evidenced by the fullback and strong side TE. This formation is a power running formation with the fullback typically leading through the 3 or the 5 hole and engageing the linebacker on the second level. Kyle Shanahan sees the Tampa base and employs what coordinators call a cover -2 beater.
Inside we can take a look at the Play....

Lions sign Larry Foote..... Worried?
by scespy12 on May 6, 2009 6:20 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
The Lions today signed Ex- Steeler Larry Foote, adding to what is quickly becoming a dangerous defense.
With the addition of Foote, the Lions now have Him, Ernie Sims and Julian Peterson as Linebackers.
They also signed Grady Jackson DT and Phillip Buchanon CB and Anthony Henry CB as well as Eric King CB.
With their additions from the Draft on offense and the improvements on defense....
Are the Lions Dangerous?
What do you love about Football?
by scespy12 on Apr 30, 2009 12:19 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
I thought that since this is the slowest time of the year, we could talk about some other bears related topics. Thus, What do you love about football....
I'll go first:
What I love most is the stategy involved. I love the way teams hide coverages on defense, I love the play action pass. I love the gutsy call at the end of the game when we are down by 3 on the 20 yd line and time is expiring and we take the shot at the endzone even though if we complete and are short we lose.... thats what I love about football...
What about you?

The Cutler Dimension
by scespy12 on Apr 16, 2009 12:16 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
The addition of Sir Jay Cutler has been celebrated by this site for exactly two weeks now.
So the time has come for me to talk about what can actually do for us.
I don't like seeing Cutler in Broncos Uni now that he is a Bear.
Jay Cutler:
Born: April 29, 1983
Ht. 6’3"
Wt. 232
40yd: 4.77
Benched: 23 times
Wonderlic: 26

The Brady Rule: 2009 rule changes
by scespy12 on Apr 9, 2009 12:32 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
The NFL competition committee passed four new rules and one major clarification.
Basically they are ways to eliminate the danger in the game. I am not the snappy, witty guy my fellows are; so I’ll just shoot it straight.
Lets start with…..
Another Blockbuster?
by scespy12 on Apr 6, 2009 11:47 AM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
Follow me here.....
Every one knows that the Pack is changing to a 3-4.
Aaron Kampman is a 4-3 end.
I say we call the Broncos and offer a 2nd and a fourth and next years 3rd if they offer the Pack a second and next years third.
Kampman has said that he does not belong in a 3-4 and we are in desperate need of Pass rush at DE, Why not attempt to get a guy that had 16 two seasons ago and 9.5 last year.
He is 29 and unhappy I think if we keep it quiet we could pull this off too.
What do you guys think?
The Case for Williams at Guard
by scespy12 on Apr 3, 2009 1:33 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
I recently made a statement on another thread that I beleve that Chris Williams shoud be moved to LG.
My version of the line would look like:
LT Pace 6'7" 325 lbs
LG WIlliams 6'6" 312 lbs
C Kruetz 6'2" 292 lbs
RG Omiyale 6'4" 310 lbs
RT Shaffer 6'5" 315 lbs
Special Teams: Kick Return
by scespy12 on Apr 2, 2009 12:37 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
I figured that because of the new rule limiting a team’s ability on kick return, I could show how the Bears performed their kick return.
The basic scheme is one of two ways: the Zone (or "Wedge") and Man to Man.

The Spread Offense
by scespy12 on Mar 26, 2009 10:45 AM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
Hmmm….. the spread. I hate the spread offense. But for the sake of all things fair here goes:
The spread is an offense that takes its roots in the Triple Option (if you need me to do that too, just ask). It relies on using skills players "spread out" across the field to, obviously, "spread out" the defense. This allows the offense to open running and passing lanes in the open parts of the field.
After the obligatory HAHAHAHA LSU! to Geaux: Lets look inside......
The GreenBay game....
by scespy12 on Mar 24, 2009 1:37 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
I personally love doing this so I wanted to have everyone join in....
As of right now. pre- draft what are you predictions for the greenbay game?
All things considered as well, we have no RT, they have completely switched defenses and their secondary is 35 years old.
Heres mine....
Orton 16-24 255yds 2tds 1int 1fum
Forte 25 car 155 yds 1td
Brown 1 sack
Robbie Gould 2-2 FG
Score: Bears 34 , Pack 24
What do yous guys think?
Ron Turner's "West Coast" Offense
by scespy12 on Mar 19, 2009 11:32 AM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
I thought that since I mostly have done defenses I'd throw this one to ya'll.
And....
The offense that the Bears use is a derivative of the old style Walsh offense, the "West Coast". The West Coast is an offense that instead of the old style of "running will open passing lanes," utilizing a short and intermediate passing game to open up running lanes.
The old style used runs to open up vertical passing lanes whereas the West Coast uses horizontal passes to open up vertical running lanes.

Need vs Best available
by scespy12 on Mar 16, 2009 12:52 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
As many of you already know, picking at 18 is relatively difficult as you have the issue of "Does the team pick need or do the pick the best available?"
In our case the need is considerable; OL, DL, WR, FS are glaring needs. With the addition of Zach Bowman and Josh Bullocks to the FS corps and Frank Omiyale to the O- Line we are beginning to see that the pick at 18 is getting to be a mystery.
Excluding trade, I see the bears taking a WR in the first round but if a player such as Malcolm Jenkins or Rey Malulagaaga (or however you say it) is there are they worth the pick?
The 46 Defense
by scespy12 on Mar 12, 2009 11:39 AM EDT
in Xs and Os
on Windy City Gridiron
The 46 is a defense that stands alone, it is a base system that has roots only in the old ways (leather helmets and no forward passes). It was developed by Buddy Ryan for use by the Chicago Bears; it is named after the great Doug Plank. It is the only defense that is named after a player not the actual lineup.
Whats wrong with Kyle?
by scespy12 on Mar 11, 2009 2:27 PM EDT
on Windy City Gridiron
I am sure everyone here realizes that Sid Luckman was the last long lasting quarterback that the Bears have had.
I guess the purpose of this post is to ask why is it that Chicago Bears fans are so hypercritical of their quarterbacks?
The Zone Blitz
by scespy12 on Mar 3, 2009 11:27 AM EST
on Windy City Gridiron
Most typically seen out of a 3-4 defense the zone blitz is a pressure package that employs a zone coverage with a covered blitz. The most famous example of zone blitz base teams are the Steelers and the Chargers.
