Davone Bess smokes weed WHO KNEW

The score is reporting that the Bears have hired Paul Pasqualoni as their LB coach. All 5 years(3 years as a DC) he was in the NFL his teams ran a 3-4. He spent the last 3 years at UConn where, looking at film of Sio Moore and Yawin Smallwood, he ran a bit of a hybrid.

 

He is said to be a good teacher, and that bodes well for a team that just drafted 2 LBs, and it wouldn't shock me to see a 3rd drafted this year....Perhaps the previously mentioned Smallwood in the 2R.

I really like the Dan Dierdorf email.

The writing has been on the wall for a while that the Bears were going to switch to a 3-4 defense or at least some hybrid of it when Emery was hired. He hired a head coach who ran a 3-4 in Canada, and Emery did do his best work in Kansas City getting guys that fit their 3-4 scheme and we saw how good that defense was with the right coaching. Looking at his drafts with the Bears, you saw a lot more 3-4 guys than tampa cover 2 guys. McClellian was definitely considered more of a LB type than a 4-3 rush DE even in a tampa 2 scheme. Hardin was a big physical corner who didn't fit into the mold of a cover 2 corner. Bostic wasn't a tampa 2 MLB, he's much more of a FILB in a 3-4 scheme because of his ability to run down hill and take on blockers. Greene was actually a good fit as a WILL in the tampa 2, but the WILL and the BILB in the 3-4 are very similar to because in the 3-4, the field ILB takes on the blockers to allow the boundary ILB to run around and make plays.

 

However, I do kind of hope the Bears stick with a 4-3 base but mix in a lot of different looks and play plenty of 3-4. I believe the Bears are the only franchise in the NFL to have never been a 3-4 team. Besides, I really hate the bubbles the 3-4 defense provides and I prefer the 3-4 really only in pass rushing situations to f*** with OLine protection rules and disguising where the 4th rusher or the blitz is coming from. Personally, I love the 2 gap 4-3 scheme the Seahawks run. It's very similar to the 3-4 where you have 3 down lineman who eat up blockers and 2 undersized DE's but oversized LB's on the edge (one stand up, one with his hand in the dirt in the Seahawks scheme). I'm sorry, I can go on for days about this stuff.

 

Either way, I like the hire of Paul Pasqualini, even if he might not be a very good collegiate HC. Whomever they hire as the DLine coach should probably give us a better indication of what type of scheme will be ran. I'm gonna guess it was someone with a background in both 4-3 and 3-4 schemes as I'm definitely thinking hybrid is the way the Bears are going.

So basically you want a hybrid defense.

 

You don't get Mike Pettine.

 

Didn't the Bears come out and say they aren't running a 3-4?

 

They kept Mel Tucker.

Tucker has experience running both 4-3 and 3-4, so it really doesnt matter that he was retained. All I keep reading is "hybrid 3-4", so it seems like they keeping it as an option

Kellen Winslow was jerkin it

 

Yes, "looking for Boston Market" is incredible and what I am going to call jacking off from now on. That's really the only reason I'm posting this.

That'll be a sweet halftime show.

I'm 3-5 at picking winners so far this postseason, so might as well jinx two more teams.

 

49ers 20, Seahawks 13

 

Broncos 41, Patriots 28

49ers 20, Seahawks 13

 

Broncos 41, Patriots 28

 

I'm going:

 

Seahawks 31, 49ers 16

 

Broncos 27, Patriots 24

I'm going:

 

Seahawks 31, 49ers 16

 

Broncos 27, Patriots 24

 

I will be impressed if the Seahawks snuff out the 49ers like that, i see it much closer

 

Seahawks 24 - 49ers 20 (great sadness in the old rebuilt car community)

 

Patriots 35 - Broncos 27

 

im 4 - 4 so far this postseason, so one of these is right and one is wrong, lol

Hurt is going 0-2

 

Sqwert is going 1-1.

 

Kyyle is going 2-0.

I hope Manning wins. He seems pretty cool and I think takes a bad rap for winning "only" one Super Bowl.

 

The other game, I think Seattle will win but if it's SF, I wouldn't mind. I know Harbaugh comes off as a chooch sometimes, but when he was with the Bears, I played in a card game with him once, and he was really nice. He didn't seem like the sharpest knife in the drawer, but he sure has been a successful coach. And you should win some points for wearing $8 Walmart pants on national television.

I'm from Indiana, so I am biased towards Peyton Manning.

 

I went to Notre Dame (and Michigan State) so I am biased against that pretty-boy asshole QB of the Patriots.

 

So yeah, I have the Broncos winning.

I'm 5-3 picking the playoffs and in the bottom half of my confidence pool, boo!

 

I'm taking both favorites this week. Skittles, Prater's.
