ChiSox_Sonix Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 QUOTE(JFields27 @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 03:59 PM) I dont know if this is anywhere -- Moose signed back with the Panthers, interesting Didnt see that. That gives the Panthers a big target to distract teams from keying so heavily on Steve Smith now. If Colbert can live up to his potential, the Panthers could have a pretty decent offense next season.

WilliamTell Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Feb 27, 2008 -> 01:03 AM) Joe Flacco was recently compared to Andrew Walter and John Navarre. Bears fans still want him in the 2nd? Flacco was a stud against UNI in the playoffs, but that's Div 1-AA. Jevon Kearse was released today.

DBAHO Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Cowboys re-signed Flozell "The Hotel" Adams to a 6 year deal. My guess is he'll play 3 or 4, and then either retire or be cut. Crucial signing for the O-Line, but cap-wise we're going to have issues. And Terence Newman and DeMarcus Ware are going to both want to be paid next off-season IIRC. Could end up being a costly signing, but one I think we had to make, considering the alternatives. I know both the Dolphins and Bears were going to target him if he hit FA.

DBAHO Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Also Yahoo Sports had a report saying the Bears are pretty much certain to lose Briggs, Berrian and their top special teams guy. That's quite a bit of talent they'd be losing there. I'm not sure that team is a playoff team for next season. They'd need massive upgrades at RB, WR and OL, and to find a quality replacement for Briggs, to do so. I don't know if they can do that all in 1 off-season in a weak FA class.

They can't do that in FA. But thankfully they don't have to. They have 2 potential replacements for Briggs waiting from their last 2 drafts. And They at least have a trio of RB's, whether they like them or not. The team needs upgrades at O-Line and could certainly justify bringing in another receiver or two. Beyond that, anything else I consider to be less than necessity. I refuse to grade guys like Benson or Wolfe last year based on their performance because the O-Line was simply so bad. The team needs an O-Line overhaul, not just upgrades. If Benson fails behind an upgraded O-Line, then a RB replacement makes sense in the 09 draft once the cap hit from Benson has passed.

Four out of his last 5 games with significant touches, he got 3 yards a carry. /yes the O-Line was bad but you're giving Benson a free pass IMO.

witesoxfan Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 28, 2008 -> 10:57 PM) They weren't a playoff team last year with them. The Titans really aren't any better, other than the fact that they have an offensive line. Sure VY can scramble, but he still can't pass and he has no receivers. All you need is an OLine to be effective offensively; the 2006 and 2007 Bears provided the perfect examples for that. And Benson is given a free pass because he was really a very good back last year when the Bears' OLine played well; when it played terribly, he played terribly. It may be a coincidence, but I don't quite buy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's what Benson was averaging. 3.4 yards a carry for both of them over the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said that Peterson was the answer, but he got those 3 yd/carry games and 100 yard game when the O-Line was at its worst. Benson had less than 3 yards a carry in 5 of his 11 games, getting 100 yards once. And, for the most part, those games were with a healthy O-Line.
