WHarris1 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 1, 2007 -> 03:14 PM) Darius Walker has a better chance to make this team than Wolfe IMO. I highly doubt that. The chance of a 3rd round pick getting cut is real real low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Wolfe is getting cut, he was drafted to be a receiving back on 3rd down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fotop Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Frankly, much like a few others here...I don't get the fascination with Wolfe. Fast? Yes, but not blow your socks off fast. Productive? Yea, but against arguably 2nd tier competition. Basically any positive said about him can be followed with a but. To me, that's not a good sign. Factor that in along with his size, and one's gotta wonder if he can hack it in the NFL. Obviously I trust Angelo when it comes to later round draft picks, maybe he sees some Warrick Dunn in Wolfe? Who knows. All I know is I would have grabbed someone like Pittman or Lorenzo Booker (who I believe was taken right before the Bears pick).

An UFA is the favorite over a 1st day pick to make a team that has 2 returning tailbacks? Outstanding.

Who knows. All I know is I would have grabbed someone like Pittman or Lorenzo Booker (who I believe was taken right before the Bears pick). Wolfe is going to be exactly what Angelo wants, IF he stays healthy. Like I said, Wolfe's fate is based hand in hand on if Benson is what the Bears think he is. If Benson is really good, Wolfe will be a steal pick, if he's not and Wolfe has to carry it 20 times....forget it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The will put him back there, and let him run in the open field. He isnt hester, but he can miss some tackles and turn it into a good thing.

Who knows. All I know is I would have grabbed someone like Pittman or Lorenzo Booker (who I believe was taken right before the Bears pick). Angelo explicitly compared him to Dunn, in fact. I didn't like the pick, but then, I didn't like the Hester choice, either. I'm willing to trust Angelo on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will like him more than Jones if he does do that monkey shake Jones did after every catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted May 2, 2007 Author Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm sensing that the Bears' Adrian Peterson will get 500-600 yards this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, he didnt return a kick off or punt ever while at Northern Illinois He was recruited originally as a kick return guy, and returned kicks in 2004 until our starter at the time, A.J. Harris, got hurt and he took his job. He's never returned punts though, although that's not releveant with Devin on the team. QUOTE(RockRaines @ May 2, 2007 -> 09:17 AM) Great. The kid will be hurt very quickly. He'll be banged up a lot, but he'll play. Anybody that signs liability waivers before games is willing to play through pain. He missed 4 games (I think it was 4, but either way it was only about a month) with a complete MCL tear. He's not going to get hurt getting 1/10th the touches on the Bears that he did here.

chimpy2121 Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Larry: I have seen conflicting reports. Did the Bears sign undrafted free agent Darius Walker? Mike L.
