HuskyCaucasian Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 08:08 AM) If Trestman lets Hester play a lot of WR, then he deserves to be fired immediately. Hester is going to be released. He will not be back next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 06:03 AM) I adore this hire immediately. Agree. This is a great hire. He's done a great job with the oline with the Saints and has done a good job in other previous stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyCaucasian Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 08:36 AM) Hester will be waived. I think he has a big bonus/cap hit this year so I'd be stunned if they kept him. According to spotrac.com, his cap hit is only $2,857,523 for 2013.

Chisoxfn Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 06:40 AM) According to spotrac.com, his cap hit is only $2,857,523 for 2013. I was thinking there was some sort of roster bonus this year (not necessarily impacting his cap hit). I could be wrong. Either way that is 2.8M more then he's worth in my opinion.

DukeNukeEm Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 According to spotrac.com, his cap hit is only $2,857,523 for 2013. Yea, that can easily go towards something much more valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 08:35 AM) This was more the fact that Toub directly competed with Trestman for the job and Trestman was the better man. There could be a lot of sour grapes in that situation. Sounds like one of the guys we interviewed for HC might end up our special teams coach. FWIW Toub was just interviewed on Mully and Hanley and it didnt sound like sour grapes at all. First off, he just became the highest paid ST coach in the league, and second off, he said it was time to try something new and see if he could succeed elsewhere. He was very complimentary of Trestman and of Emery interviewing him, he said it didnt feel like a sham interview, he really felt like he was given the opportunity to earn the job.

SOXOBAMA Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 (edited) They have far more pressing needs, like resigning Melton and finding an oline. Bears also reportedly hire Saints interim interim head coach (and oline coach) as the OC/Oline coach which spells the end of Tice. Very curious what happens with Marinelli. I really hope he stays. As a outsider looking in, Besides Marshall I see the rest of your WR's a huge weakness. Hester used to be a great ST player but he isn't that good at the WR position. The other 2 are good backup role players. Your #1 weakness on offense is the tight end position, maybe you will draft the TE from ND. You can find several good OL in the draft. A team with Cutler, Forte, Marshall, Wallace and solid TE, would win tbe NFC North for the next 3-4 years The Bears made some very good moves today Edited January 16, 2013 by SOXOBAMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bears need a speed receiver, but they should be able to target a much cheaper one that can fit the bill. TE is a much higher priority. spending a bunch of money on a wideout when you invested a 2nd ruond pick in Jeffrey (and have Marshall) would be a foolish waste of money.

Is that enough? One stud, one guy who's pretty good and another who's kinda mid-range? I'm not sure, but I'm not against adding someone else to that mix.

ptatc Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 16, 2013 -> 08:27 AM) Honestly, Kromer alone adds about as much to our OL's effectiveness as signing a free agent or spending a 1st day pick in the draft. Dude knows how to coach those guys. Until he became an HC and OC, Mike Tice was widely considered one of the best O-line coaches in the league.

No one knows if he will be good or bad. Right away people either think this is the worst move ever or He will win us a Super Bowl. Much like draft picks you have to wait 2-3 years to really know.

Soxfest Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Sources tell the Chicago Sun-Times that new coach Marc Trestman is likely to retain Rod Marinelli as his defensive coordinator. Trestman and the Bears would be silly to dump Marinelli. The Bears' defense ranked fifth in yards allowed, third in points allowed, first in interceptions, second in forced fumbles and eighth in sacks. By keeping Marinelli in charge of the unit, there will still be some continuity even though Lovie Smith is gone. Source: Chicago Sun-Times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
