lasttriptotulsa Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 22, 2014 -> 10:17 AM) Bears Bills Cardinals Giants Jaguars Raiders Rams Steelers 8 teams who can be forced to have Hard Knocks. Reading around the net everyone wants the Bears. I've never watched the show so I don't know the exact format, but I'd have to think it would have been entertaining to have the Raiders do it while Al Davis was still alive.

RockRaines Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Bears are very attractive because of Jay and they also usually focus on the QB's wife and in his case she's already a well known tv personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, you thought he was an idiot. Thus, you thought he was a stupid person. Thus, you thought he lacked intelligence. /mathproofs Smart people can act dumb, dumb people can act smart, what about that is making it so hard to understand? I've had to say this way too many times for this simple concept to sink in. I have no idea is Sherman is smart or stupid, all I know is that of what I've seen of him, he's ACTED stupid and has LOOKED like an idiot. Those comments are observations, not factual statements.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Am I the only guy here who is finding great joy in watching Senior Bowl drills? I don't care how short he is, Aaron Donald (all 6 feet of him) is gonna be a beast in the NFL. I'm all in on the Bears trying to trade down and taking him with their first pick(if they don't bring back Melton or another 3T DT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Sherman touched on the "thug = n*****" correlation. I agree with him. I still think he's a douche, but there are some people criticizing him unfairly which is making me sympathetic towards him which I hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think it's weird that people keep using the word "thug", it's not like what Sherman did was considered criminal or violent. If you go look up what the word thug means on a dictionary.com, you get definitions like "a vicious criminal or ruffian" and "a tough and violent man, esp a criminal". I don't think that describes Sherman's actions as a poor sportsman. Edited January 22, 2014 by chw42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more than on any other day over the period they looked at (over three years). Richard Sherman was called a thug more than anyone in years because he was sort of a dick to Crabtree and the 49ers for about 25 seconds. http://regressing.deadspin.com/the-word-th...rday-1506098319 Edited January 22, 2014 by StrangeSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Frankly, there are thugs in the NFL. Aaron Hernandez is a thug. Not because he's black (because he's not), or because he's Latino (which he is), but because he's a murderer, and - not that there ever is a justifiable reason for murder - the logic behind it is absurd.

2nd_city_saint787 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It is my understanding that Paul Pasquanelli will be the Bears DL coach(he was previously thought to be LB coach), and Reggie Herring will be the Bears LBs coach. All their experience at the NFL level have been in 3-4 defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All their experience at the NFL level have been in 3-4 defenses. I'm quite curious what's going to happen to the Bears' defensive scheme. It would seem a 3-4 is becoming more likely, but both of these coaches have plenty of experience in 4-3 defense so I still wouldn't look too much into it. Regardless, Trestman/Emery aren't helping us figure it out. I'm sure we'll just be more multiple next year. That's basically how it is in the NFL anyway. It seems like "being multiple" has been the hot catch-phrase for coaches the last couple years, and I'm sure Trestman will say the same generic coach-speak when it comes to it.
