I just drafted my FF team and of course I had to ask you guys....

Update: Standard Espn league... Snake style draft pick #1

Am I just a homer or do I have a Chance?

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 Latrobe, Pennsylvania between the YMCA of Latrobe and the Jeanette Athletic Club. Players made between 10 and 25 dollars for the game; the YMCA won 12-0.

Tuesday Ea sports announced the Top Ten players in the Major catergories...

This is Espns Link.... (Pops of course)

Only one Bears player makes the top ten. Sizzle himself who appears to have a less than 90 Rating. His Rating is an 87, Although he was third in passing yds and Tds.

Anyone think we got snubbed?

 So I thought that I'd give you guys a looksie into the play that ended our season last year.

Week 17 vs Texans....

Video

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....

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?

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 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.

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…..

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?

I recently made a statement on another thread that I beleve that Chris Williams shoud be moved to LG.
