WHarris1 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) 2nd day in a row with tweets about Bears fans I believe. I'm warming up to the idea of Sims-Walker. He'd be the DEBATABLY best receiver on the roster. EDIT: Hard to say he'd be close, I'd certainly take him, solid numbers with a below overage overall offense/QB. And f***, compared to these guys he'd seem like a big WR. Edited July 29, 2011 by WHarris1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metz Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 QUOTE (WHarris1 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 10:36 PM) 2nd day in a row with tweets about Bears fans I believe. I'm warming up to the idea of Sims-Walker. He'd be the best receiver on the roster. And a day before that he said in a Tribune article that he thinks he would be an ideal fit for the Bears.

jenksycat Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 So I admit to know very little on this...but why can't the Bears get Asomugha and just have an insane defense since the offense will suck again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want to spend half of that on 1 guy with so many other holes to fill. Even further, in a Cover 2 defense, the CB's play a lot of zone coverage. You wouldn't be utilizing Asomugha properly unless he's playing man coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could most definitely afford him, but it would be at the expense of depth. Overall, I think somebody needs to go wake Jerry Angelo up from his nap and tell him that free agency started.

I agree. With that defense, Foster keeps doing what he did last season, with Shaub and Johnson, I think they could do it this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Why did the Bears seem so uninterested in maintaining Manning? He seems like a pretty big loss as he really added something to the return game. But I am not sure if he was all that great on defense - they must really like Major Wright if they want to put him in right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The safety tandem is better with Wright at FS and Harris at SS than it was with Manning at SS and Harris at FS. Sure, they'll lose an elite return man, but that hasn't been problem area for the Bears since Glyn Milburn. With Hester and Knox, they'll be just fine.

whitesoxfan101 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 And Mike Martz officially has full control of the offense. God help us all. I still wouldn't be surprised if Sims-Walker is also brought in, but kiss Floyd goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 If the Bears sign Roy Williams I hope that he gets focused because the guy has talent. Cutler has done better with bigger WR's so if they can get on the same page this could be a good signing. Its all on Williams to perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...ams-source-says Source: Roy Williams to join Bears By Adam Schefter ESPN.com Archive The Bears are reuniting former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Roy Williams with Chicago offensive coordinator Mike Martz, his former head coach in Detroit, according to a team source. Terms of the deal are not known. The Bears and Williams have reached an agreement that will provide Chicago the type of receiver it has been seeking. Williams is hoping to play like he did in the early part of his career in Detroit, where he went to the Pro Bowl with Martz as one of his coaches. Detroit traded Williams to Dallas, which released him Thursday, freeing him to strike a deal with Chicago. In 40 games with the Cowboys, Williams had 94 catches for 1,324 yards and 13 touchdowns. Adam Schefter is ESPN's NFL Insider. QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jul 28, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) The Bears will have no interest in Roy Williams. My god.. I thought you learned your lesson Steven.
