Should I spend a big chunk to get Asiata if I am a Peterson owner? Should I go elsewhere, like Rainey? Donald Brown?

Bears cut Draughn, c. Williams, and M. Mulligan and sign Ross and Frey from Practice Squad. Still 2 spots on 53 available.

Eh, even so, public opinion if that was proven would be tough for Nike to swallow.

Antonio Blakeney reopened his recruitment and "rumors" (SOURCES CONFIRN) are that it was pressure from Nike, who is upset that Wiggins went from a nike AAU sponsor to KU (Adidas) and then signed with Adidas after. All of Blakeneys top 4 are now Nike schools. It seems like one of those "superfan tries to rationalize decisions of 18 year old kid" rumors, but anyone heard of stuff like this before? I just don't see Nike being that dumb and risking their NCAA relationship.

It was Kirkjian and definitely did not add a "available for trade" qualifier.

I just want Sale as top 3. Probably as a holdover from the righteous anger of my youth, I was really annoyed at the trade deadline when ESPN continued to say that the top two lefthanders in the AL were acquired by Detroit and Oakland. Um...no.

Was 2-0 this week. Was huge with Peterson being the player i paid a lot of money for. Big game from McFadden out of nowhere really helped.

What a bizarre game. Both QBs struggling to make throws to the flat.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 08:47 PM) im not so concerned about him replacing Tillman as much as i am concerned about whomever replaces Fuller at nickel. With him, Jennings and Tillman on the field at the same time, no pass is safe. I'm really interested to see who they pick. I still think Frey has the inside track, but maybe Hayden due to special teams.

Ugh that's rough, I was so happy when he signed on for another year. Terrible to lose him just 1.5 games in.

QUOTE (scs787 @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 06:08 PM) It'll be interesting to see if they keep Vereen in that role or if they call up Frey/Louis-Jean. I was big on Vereen in the offseason and remember saying if he failed at FS he should have a chance to play CB. I have to imagine Frey is coming up. We are down 2 cbs so no chance we walk into the game with just 3 active (I don't know McManis' injury at this point). Louis-Jean is obviously very talented but I think he is too young to trust back there. I'd prefer Frey's experience.

Isaiah Briscoe scheduled a campus visit for Mizzou next month out of nowhere. Were not originally in his top 5. Will be interesting to see if things heat up.

Bears had 4 rooks in on that last drive and held their own (got them to 4th down twice). There was also some nifty stuff, like shea blitzing and going straight up the outside which was supposed to have the effect of the Justin Smith move (pushing the offensive blockers out to give space to the end. Allen couldn't get free but I thought it was a pretty cool blitz.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 04:14 PM) People told me I was overreacting. I almost never overreact. Wrong...certainly wrong plenty of times, but overreacting is not my forte and Joey D is absolutely the worst. Opening kick-off, starting from where we did...awful. Then we have the blocked punt...uggh. Only bright side was after that we cleaned a few things up, but even then, our guys on ST couldn't get off blocks to save their lives. We had one punt of net 20 where we had guys getting blocked for what looked like literally 3 to 4 seconds down the field. It was brutal how bad and how unable to get into the coverage area our unit was. How about the 4 penalties on one punt?

Cutler will get his due, but the d and their takeaways and QB pressure won that game. At the end even the option wasn't working!

That was an incredible and gutsy performance tonight. I thought this would be just like the 2012 game. It wasn't they fought their asses off. Good job coaches, except Decamillis.

Why is clock not running? Edit It was because of a SF timeout, past self.

Damn, Kaep is tough. Gotta rush him to disrupt, but he is so good at getting free. Need really disciplined secondary and d ends to end this game. Or another big play... Fuller?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 15, 2014 -> 03:27 AM) I disagree with that decision I was thinking same but I can see both ways. They Have to go for two now. It's a 50% conversion percentage, but I imagine higher for miners with a mobile QB

Now finish this freakin drive in the end zone.

Wow. I did not think the Bears had this in them. I am very impressed by their heart.

Wow what a freaking play by fuller.

Ratliff getting evaluated for a concussion. Tillman done for career. McManus and conte out. It's not enough that we will likely lose, we have to destroy any chances of recovering this year.

Sorry we do. It is "throw two yard routes to Forte"...and success!
