i wonder since the Bears are a cover 2, would it be easier to beat them with fleener and allen

graham had 6 rec for 79 yds vs them in wk 2

[HtownColt]

tampa 2 is basically a prevent defense you play the whole game so anybody that can work the seams and the middle of the field would have a pretty good day

[21isSuperman]

It depends on how they handle it. They could play cover 2 with both safeties over the top to prevent the deep pass, but if they are passive with their LBs and constantly drop them back into coverage, we can easily beat them with a short passing game. Urlacher isn't as fast as he used to be, so I wouldn't be shocked to see Fleener and Allen outrun him.

If they do go into cover 2 and play man underneath with LBs covering Allen and Fleener, they will get ripped apart, especially with their LBs getting up there in age. So I don't think they will play cover 2 very much. Probably a lot of man to man to take advantage of our young receivers/TEs

Who did the bears pick up in the draft? Answer that. I'm not worried.

Alshon jeffery and shea mcclealin

Alshon jeffery and shea mcclealin

Not scared of many players from Boise State. They play in the WAC...don't face much competition out there. But, Alshon Jeffery is going to develop into a good player I think. He's not a speed threat, but we'll need a CB who can play jump ball with him.

Hester never was and never will be a great receiver. He had 26 receptions for 369 yards last season. Not scared.

Marshall will be a threat, but in this particular week 1 game, i'm not going to be worried as I think he'll be serving suspension for him punching that lady in the face.

History isn't on Marshall's side for this sort of thing. I'm counting on suspension, even if it is a 1 game suspension..that'd be the game we play them.

10/31/04, at UCF, Marshall was arrested in Orlando on charges of assault on a law enforcement officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer

3/26/07, Marshall was arrested in the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver on suspicion of domestic violence

10/22/07, Marshall was arrested in the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area at the intersection of 14th and Blake St. for driving under the influence of alcohol

3/4/08, Georgia filed misdemeanor battery charges on Marshall

6/12/08, Marshall was ticketed for an illegal lane change, then found to be without his license and proof of insurance

7/28/08, Douglas County deputies fielded “about 11″ calls to Marshall’s home since January 2006.

3/1/09, Marshall was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly conduct after allegedly being involved in a fight with his fiancée,

4/23/11, Marshall was stabbed near his stomach by his wife, Michi Nogami-Marshall. He was taken to a hospital and was released two days later. He is expected to make a full recovery

3/11/12, two days before his trade to the Bears, Marshall was accused of hitting a woman in the face at a New York club and being involved in a melee.

my point is even if he is suspended he will appeal which holds off the suspension

[FightLikeSin]

possible, but unlikely he gets anywhere with it. He can appeal just like Sean Peyton, Roethlisberger, Suh, Benson, Pacman, etc....but I don't see it working out for him. RG1 rules with an iron fist these days.

right but even payton got 2 extra weeks with the suspension appeal

He's a coach. Suspending him just before the draft takes place, and for the entire season is still going to be a complete loss on the season. Players don't serve the same type of suspension, they don't get suspended in the off-season too often. He'll serve regular season game suspensions. So if he plays with the Bears in all 4 pre-season games...great. That has nothing to do with our Week 1 game.

Cedric Benson got an extra 2 weeks too last season

[FightLikeSin]

Cedric Benson got an extra 2 weeks too last season

yes but that was for something that happened mid season. Benson dragged out the appeal process. Roehtlisberger is really the only case you can compare this too recently. He was accused in the off-season, charged with suspension in the offseason. Suspended for 6 games, which was later reduced to 4.

Anyway, this is painfully off topic now... case and point. 99% chance we don't see Marshall in week 1
