Not very sharp corners
In their press release for Sunday night’s nationally televised season opener at Green Bay against the Packers, the Bears list their starting cornerbacks as Trumaine McBride and Nate Vasher on the “unofficial depth chart.”
Good thing it’s “unofficial,” because if the Bears are forced to line up with McBride and Vasher covering Greg Jennings and Donald Driver all night they’ll lose by 4 touchdowns.
It’s too much to expect Charles Tillman to play in this game since he practiced on Monday for the first time this season. But Zack Bowman claims to be 100 percent recovered from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for three weeks during training camp and in the preseason.
If Bowman’s healthy, he better be in the starting lineup because he’s bigger, better, faster and tougher than McBride or Vasher. If Bowman seriously aggravated the injury in the preseason finale – he left after feeling tightness in the hamstring -- Corey Graham should be in the starting lineup. Unless the Bears just want to get the Packers overconfident for the next time they meet, at Soldier Field on Dec. 13.
Butter knife?
Beach ball?
Charlie Weis' belly
Lovie's round head
Tommie Harris' IQ...
I don't know what's wrong with Bob's comment. Only a fool would think that the Packers wouldn't go after McBride each and every time he's on the field. . .that guy is lucky to have a job right now the way he played in the pre-season where he should have had a one-way ticket to the UFL. . .
Who doesn't think this game is going to be a shootout? Unless one of the QB's get hurt, it's going to be a 35-31 type game with these two defenses: The Bears with a questionable secondary and the Packers playing their first game in a 3-4 vs. a star QB (Cutler) who has faced that Defense he entire career. . .
McBride is one of the weakest DBs in the NFL
If our front four can generate some serious pressure in Mr. Rodgers neighborhood, we might have a chance of beating our "rival," (as in dog food,) to the north in this the first true test of the new season. Otherwise, the only shot we got is if J-Cut can carve up the GB "D", and/or Special Teams scores at least one TD. It could be ugly, or it could be like kids at the company picnic...I see visions of Linebackers dancing in the end zone! Ours, of course! GO BEARS!!! I don't care if it's 7-6, just go up there and beat them Hicks in the sticks!
"if the Bears are forced to line up with McBride and Vasher covering Greg Jennings and Donald Driver all night they’ll lose by 4 touchdowns."
Corners are a concern but Bears fans remember this statement from Mr. LeGere.
I agree with him... McBride and Vasher would get torched.
