The Wide Receivers I will leave up to you.
Where did the 1985 BEARS OL come from?
1983 : DRAFT
MARK BORTZ
TOM THAYER
JIMBO COVERT ... I want this to sink in for awhile ... thats ... 3 in a draft.
KEITH VAN HORNE was drafted #1 in 1981
JAY HILGENBERG was undrafted in 1981
Took 3 years to put this together ...
which most talking heads in the media will agree was one of the best OL's ever.
THATS ... what DAA BEARRSSE can do when they set their minds to it.
yea, but that requires actually DRAFTING OL. Why do that when you can sign guys like Pace and Omiyale?
BEARS are a microcosm of AMERICA ... hire cheap ... pocket the difference. :smile:Quote:

McKay : I'd be all for it.
I thought you just draft 50 offensive tackles and oversized TEs and line them up on all spots on the line. Keep the D guessing.
No?
The Packers lost two starting OL in the last two weeks. They had quality backups ready to step in and contribute and they did so. The Bears starters can't even play the first series of downs in a game, when they should be well prepared for the plays that are being called, without false-start penalties and other mistakes.
that was emBEARessing last night, it is time for us to clean house, good bye angelo,martz,tice,lovie. our o-line webb,frank the lead foot. Our defence, did you see what happened once Peppers got hurt? we had nothing. Tillman probly did the best job covering megatron than anyone yet this year, but our safeties wow, never seen Chris Harris play as bad as he did that night. Please cut Frank Omyfuckinggod he does less than nothing out there, maybe martz and tice would look better if the pieces were there for them but years of bad drafts have taken our talent pool to nothing, Huge props to Jay Cutler and the new kid 18 sanzanbacer.
And that is the biggest inditement against this F/O and coaching staff. our starters play worse then GB's backups.Quote:
