3rd and 3 and we are running WR patterns 15 yards down field. How about a slant or some hooks or curls?

IMO, a well placed quick slant is the highest success rate on 3rd and short, especially if they're giving you a cushion. The Rams used to run it all the time with Bruce/Holt/Warner and Bulger.

Still alive..G-reg is fantastic

The Bears are 1 stud WR (and a better O-Line) short of having a pretty dangerous offense. When Olsen is your top receiver, teams can relax on the pass and take away the run. Anquan Boldin would be awesome, with an improved Hester and the TE duo of Olsen and Clark.

He's worse than bad. You can tell he was waiting all night to say that Blagojevich joke. Either that or he thought of it at halftime and wanted to use it right away.

Kornheiser is bad, embarassing, a joke, uninformative, etc....Serves no purpose.

 

That block in the back on Jamar was weak. The guy made the tackle first. You can probably call block in the backs on every kick or punt.

Huh? How could it not make sense? He has no touch on his deep ball, and it sucks. All true.

Well, when referencing a quarterback, usually "touch" means taking a bit off a throw. When talking about deep balls, Orton needs to put more on it, not put touch on it. He underthrows a lot of guys deep. Putting touch on deep balls would be more like lobbing one in or something, which he doesn't need to do. The trajectory is fine, the distance is not.

That's all semantics. What I'm saying his he can get the distance on deep balls, but that's about it.
