I started a rant on Facebook yesterday about the Bears. In the rant, I suggested it was time to Cut Cutler and Free Forte. I'll stand by that as in my view, both are disappointments.
I'd like to expand a bit too and play armchair GM for a bit... Really, doesn't everyone enjoy playing GM?
Lovie - you need to give back the defensive calling to the defensive coordinator. Your not doing such a good job. I know that your past lends that you are great at it. I have no doubt that your are/could be, but it appears that your mind has too many other things to do to handle that duty as well. Delegate!
Now on to the real question - how do we get the Bears to win a game (Lions games exempt - heck maybe we should includ the Lions. I'm not sure the Bears could beat them right now)without the help of Brian Urlacher.
Let's think outside the box - please try to follow along, this line of thinking is going to confuse a lot of people.
Who knows the offense better than anyone? Yes, the Offense Coordinator. So, let's have him analyze the opposing offense. Same with the Defense. After the analysis, let's swap play calling between the coordinators. Let the O guy call the D set ups. He knows how he would play the other sides offense, so he should be able to call the plays to defend against it. It works the same way for the D guy. He knows how he would defend the other offense, so if he's calling the O plays he can come up with something unexpected by the opposite side.
Special Teams - let's get over this Hester protectionism. Put Hester and Knox both back for kickoff and punt returns. They are both exceptional return guys. Hester is good at reciever, but returns are where he really excels. Exploit it!
Cutler - bench him until he decides that he wants to care and care enough to get excited. I don't care how much he is being paid. At this point paying him to warm the bench would send a great signal.
Forte - 2-4 yards a run don't cut it when your playing 2nd and 17. I like the new guy Bell. Mix them up more. Forte's running has become too predictible and complacent.
Well, that's about all the advice I'm allowed to give on my salary. See you next season Bears. This one hasn't any daylight left.
