Balta1701 Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 The Bills are starting to turn in to the Bengals. Buffalo Bills fullback Corey McIntyre was arrested in Florida on accusations he fondled himself outside a Port St. Lucie woman's home. The incident allegedly happened about two months ago, but the 29-year-old McIntyre was arrested Thursday and charged with exposing sexual organs. The charge is a misdemeanor and required a warrant for his arrest, which led to the lag time before McIntyre was jailed. A spokesman for the Port St. Lucie Police says a woman claimed the player knocked on her window during the act, then fled. Police later spotted him on a bicycle. McIntyre's agent, Brett Tessler, says his client is "guilty of absolutely nothing" and looks forward to proving the accusations false. The player is free on $10,000 bond.

lostfan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Someone please explain all the things wrong with this quote. Linebacker James Harrison said he'll pass on the invite from President Barack Obama. "This is how I feel -- if you want to see the Pittsburgh Steelers, invite us when we don't win the Super Bowl. As far as I'm concerned, he [Obama] would've invited Arizona if they had won," said Harrison. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30774814/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Since I'm getting more into the Bears mode I thought I'd share some thoughts on the team, specifically.. offense. Yes Cutler is sexy and will be a damn fine quarterback for us, but I ask myself (as does every Bears fan out there) Is Ron Turner the right guy calling the shots/plays as the offensive ordinator? Can he stop being so predictable, and also develop more of a game awareness? Personally most people know we can do alot better than Ron Turner and hell... fans from other teams even agree to that. I would love to see Shanahan (who is brilliant in game awareness and understanding) to be a coach of any kind (I.E. offensive ordinator/HC) in the future for Cutler, but I'll definitely give Turner the doubt for this season to see what he can do for Cutler. I found an interesting post/thought from a guy (name/or what he calls himself.. Coach Zamboni, who is well respected) on his thoughts about Turner that I'll paste here (though I shoulda lied to take all the credit.. but I'm not like that. Turner has tried year after year, every year he's been here, both tenures, to turn our offense into another encarnation of the Sid Gillman/Don Coryell offense. Think San Diego with Dan Fouts/Dallas with Aikmann. I honestly think it's the only type of offense he knows. This offense is based on deep, timing pass patterns and bombs. This true "Air Coryell" uses these timing pass patterns to set up the run, NOT running first, then play action to setup the pass. Run and then play action was the foundation for most of the "Old Guard" NFL from the 40's through the 70's. In this "new" offense Gillman created for the AFL, the concept is to tire out the secondary with a precise, fast passing attack for the first half, score quickly, score often, score on any play, build up a lead...then turn the run game loose in the second half to both protect that lead and exploit that tired secondary, especially CB's and Safeties. Al Davis, who was an assistant to Gillman at San Diego Chargers (1961), took this offense with him to the Oakland Raiders and used it with Daryl Lamonica, and taught it to John Madden (who also studied under Gillman), who also used it with the Raiders. Davis also taught it to another assistant, Bill Walsh. Another Gillman assistant, Chuck Knoll, took it with him to Pittsburgh and implemented it with Terry Bradshaw. Yet another Gillman assistant who used it was Dick Vermeil, who originally unleashed it at UCLA. As this offense was being developed in San Diego, the HC at the cross town college team San Diego State, Don Coryell, became fascinated with it, and began going to the Charger practices to watch and learn. He brought his assistants with him to schmooze and learn from Gillman; Joe Gibbs, Al Saunders and Ernie Zambisi. Coryell took the Gillman foundation, expanded it even more and brought it into the NFL when he went to the Cardinals, as did Gibbs, Saunders and Zambisi. Zambisi taught it to his assistant, Norv Turner. This offense was originally called..."The West Coast Offense", because...duh...all the coaches were from the West Coast of the US (California). In 1969, the Cincinnati Bengals drafted Greg Cook, a rocket armed QB who might have gone to the Hall of Fame. Paul Brown hired Bill Walsh away from Oakland to install the Gillman/Coryell West Coast Offense with Cook, and he was sensational his first season with it. Unfortunately, Cook tore up his shoulder the next season (and ended a short and oh so promising career), and Bill Walsh's West Coast Offense was suddenly neutered. His backup was ex Chicago Bear Virgil Carter, who didn't have a big arm, but was extremely intelligent and deadly accurate with a shorter game. Walsh wondered if he could take the deep VERTICAL Gillman/Coryell offense, and rotate it 90 degrees into a HORIZONTAL passing game, using the same concepts of precise timing patterns combined now with a shorter 3 step drop by the QB. The philosophy was the same...using the pass game to wear down the secondary (but now tire the LB's, which should really open up the run game in the 4th Q), but instead of quick scoring, it was geared to duplicate a grinding run game...get first downs, move the chains, methodically move the ball and then eventually take whatever points you could. Wash, rinse, repeat to win. It was this offense he developed with Virgil Carter and Cincinnati that he took to San Francisco and made so famous with another smart, weaker armed but precise QB, Joe Montana. Unfortunately, the media continued to call this new offense the West Coast Offense, but Walsh always thought it should have had a new name, either the Walsh Offense of the Cincinnati Offense. This "fork" in the West Coast Offense created a coaching tree of new disciples to Walsh and his new WCO, with the same focus to the horizontal game, not the original vertical game...Mike Holmgren, Jim Fassel, Sam Wyche, George Seiffert, Dennis Green, Mike Sherman, Andy Reid, Jon Fox, Steve Mariucci, Mike Shanahan, Jay Gruden, Bill Calahan, Brian Billick, etc... If you've followed Ron Turner closely in his tenures here, you'll see he doesn't run the modern Bill Walsh WCO, he runs the older Gillman/Coryell version, with an occasional use of the Walsh offense tossed in. His QB's do deep drops, the WR's run deep patterns, and he takes shots downfield to score at anytime...classic Air Coryell. You really need a big, rocket armed QB to run this type of offense, along with a monster OL. Blitzes and deep zones can shut it down, not to mention get your QB injured (Kramer, Grossman). Grossman got killed by blitzes used to counter it, and Orton wasn't that accurate deep. (I always thought those two were better suited for the Walsh Offense or a Spread, but Turner insisted on forcing them deep. Another example to me of Turner trying to fit the player to a system instead of building a system around the player's strength...and possibly reaffirmation that Turner just doesn't know any other offensive system). We now have, what I think, is the perfect QB for Turner's system, Cutler. The only thing preventing me from embracing this upcoming offense, is the fact I just think that RT is a very stupid coach. As standup comic Ron White says, "you can't fix stupid". IMO, and I've stated this many times in here, he just doesn't seem to know how to use game psychology, field conditions, game clock and his talent that efficiently (facets of the game that Walsh and especially Gibbs were brilliant at)...and it doesn't matter what offensive system you run, it won't be that successful if you don't understand those crucial fundamentals. CZ PS...it was Buddy Ryan's 46 Defense that completely shut down the original Gillman/Coryell WCO, and it was the Walsh WCO that easily exploited the 46 and caused it's demise. Ahhh...I so LOVE the different, evolving strategies/systems of this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurcieOne Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thought this was interesting... maybe a full-time replacement for Hunter/Roach? Worth a look: Free-agent outside linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa is scheduled to arrive in Chicago Wednesday morning to visit Halas Hall, according to a source close to the player. The St. Louis Rams released the 27-year-old Tinoisamoa, their leading tackler last season, on May 8, as he was scheduled to count $4.25 million against the salary cap. He was drafted in the second round in 2003, when Bears coach Lovie Smith was the Rams' defensive coordinator. Tribune.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dasox24 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Well, it's officials. Great pickup for the Bears. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=5854 Bears land free-agent linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa By: Larry Mayer | Last Updated: 5/29/2009 4:41 PM * LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Even after signing defensive lineman Israel Idonije to a two-year extension and agreeing to terms with seven draft picks Friday, the Bears weren’t done. They capped what just might be the busiest day in franchise history in terms of signing players by agreeing to terms with free-agent linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa on a one-year contract. Tinoisamoa spent his first six NFL seasons with the Rams after being selected by St. Louis in the second round of the 2003 draft, eight spots after the Bears chose cornerback Charles Tillman. Playing for Lovie Smith and Bob Babich in St. Louis in 2003, Tinoisamoa became the first rookie to lead the Rams in tackles with 121. He also had four interceptions and four forced fumbles. The 6-1, 240-pounder again topped the Rams with 135 tackles last season, but he was released May 8 presumably because he didn’t fit into new St. Louis head coach Steve Spagnuolo’s defensive scheme. The Bears, on the other hand, like quick, undersized linebackers. Tiniosamoa visited the Bears May 20, speaking with coaches, touring Halas Hall and watching the team’s OTA practice. The 27-year-old reportedly also was being pursued by the Bills as well as the Patriots before New England signed linebacker Paris Lenon on Wednesday.
