Other teams using unremarkable LBs at MLB doesn't mean that having a remarkable one doesn't enchance the D. Replace Urlacher with Roach, and our D is subpar. Put Roach up against Graham/Gronk, and he'll get beat. We don't have an elite defensive line yet.
And I think that having Urlacher pushed Lovie to get the Bears job. He knew he'd be perfect for it.

You could say that about every position on the field. In this scheme, MLB is one of the least important positions to fill. It's essentially just a 3rd safety.

All in all I don't think the Bears O-line was bad. The first couple of drives were terrible, but after that I thought Jay had plenty of time and the run blocking was better than most of the preseason. However, the Colts aren't really stocked with run stoppers.

I didn't get to watch much of the game. How did McClellin look?

Tim Jennings had a great game. As did the entire defense. Tackled well, pressured, and covered well.
Totally deflating how poor the offense played tonight. The offense line didn't block, Cutler made horrible decisions, receivers dropped everything, Forte didn't pass protect well.
It seemed the middle of the field was open for Forte as a receiver - yet Tice didn't take advantage of this. Frustrating.

He had a sack early where he just blew by Newhouse, but after that I don't recall hearing his name or seeing him much.

Well that sucked. A road loss to a tough team on a short week isn't the worst thing in the world though. Hopefully the extra time can be used to work on the flaws on offense or something...
Blegh. At least we have no more Thursday night games.

I have not posted in a while thanks to moving, but at least I get a nationally televised game.
Also, what is the word on Forte? We need him in the passing game to succeed in this one.

I heard yesterday that he would likely play.

Could this defense possibly be better than the '06 unit? Maybe even the '85 unit?

Fewest points allowed, tied for first in turnovers forced, multiple defensive scores...it's looking pretty damn good right now.
And Tillman is balling out of his mind these last 3 games. If JJ Watt wasn't a being a terminator, he'd have a shot at DPotY.

It is a very inspired defensive effort. And the D-line depth has been wonderful to watch. I love watching Peppers play, but I am thrilled that we have been able to get pressure with other players as well.

Shea McClellin
I like the Shea pick. It was a little high for my liking but we need more speed off the edge. He can play the run and the pass pretty effectively, and we need a young gun to learn all he can before one of the greatest DE of all time decides to hang the cleats up. He has the raw tools, he just needs time and direction.

Can the Gabe Carimi experiment at RT end after the season? For the love of God he is awful in pass protection.. BEYOND awful.

So Rachal just upped and quit the team after being benched. What a loser.
