round up the usual suspects.

The problem with scaring up a new OC as I see it is that all they can offer is a two year deal which is what's left on Lovies deal. It almost has to be someone who was recently fired or you bring in a guy like Bates and pair him with Tice. Tice can run the line and the running game while Bates handles the QB and receiver positions and calls plays on Sundays.

Whoever it turns out to be he needs to realize TE's are more than just spare OT's used to bail JWebb out of hot water. I truly believe Kellen Davis could be a much better all around TE than Greg Olsen will ever be. He just needs to be thrown to often enough to show it.

It's a good day. I'm just glad the two biggest stumbling blocks to the Bears success are now gone. There is little out there that wouldn't be an improvement over those two.

Nice to see you back in action, soul. For a bit there, you had me worried. I was thinking that you had gone off your meds or something

I wish Gary Kubiak had gotten fired years ago so we could have him as an offensive coordinator. I like the zone run schemes, and with Matt Forte, that would work beautiful for the Bears, especially when the weather gets bad along the shore line of Lake Michigan.
