lostfan Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Nobody used to be able to throw to the middle of the field, now it's basically free completion territory. They can't stop 3rd and long anymore. Urlacher and Brown used to dominate that area, Urlacher is never placed anywhere near the ball anymore though.

GoodAsGould Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Dec 22, 2008 -> 08:45 PM) Gotta love the cover 2 when you can't rush the passer. Everytime its 3rd and long we always run the cover 2 and seemingly it always gets beat, like it kills the defense. I dont understand why Babich keeps doing the same thing, it absolutely murdered is this season especially the atlanta game. I almost prefer them to be 3rd and short.

My friend (Packers fan) asked if we were running a soft zone. I said no, we just suck, and forgot how to defend that area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our run defense has gone downhill ever since Dusty has been out, the plus thing is our pass rush has gotten a little better. But on a side note.... If Babich and Orton are in their current roles next season something is definitely wrong with our front office and head coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on a side note.... If Babich and Orton are in their current roles next season something is definitely wrong with our front office and head coach. I'm fairly certain Orton will be back. I'd settle for just drafting another QB though, it's one lesson I learned as a Bears fan (don't count on one guy long-term, always have a backup option in case that doesn't work) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't believe he's escaped so much blame from the media this season. I'm not a Rex fanboy by any standards, but there's really a double standard there. Orton was treated as the savior of this franchise for a few weeks at the beginning of the season. But if Rex was out there doing what Orton is doing right now the stadium would be up in flames, it's pretty silly. Orton's earned himself a full season's worth of starts to show what he can do, but he should not be cemented anywhere, and hasn't earned the privilege of excuse-making. Bottom line, Orton's not the answer, no matter how much some fans managed to convince themselves that he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
