Are the young bloods on d really better?

lumm0x · 12-16-2014, 11:13 AM

All through the game I kept asking myself if we were playing good or if the Bears and Cutler were just that bad. But I kept noticing the hustle by players, chasing down plays, fighting to shed blocks and just winning one on one match ups. That has been missing so much on our defense this year.

I fully agree if we play with that same effort and heart at home versus Atlanta they don't stand a chance. But with how inconsistent we are week to week it is shaky confidence. I really want it to continue though.

The young bloods are at least showing signs of fire.

It was a good game for them to start and get some playing time vs an ailing O.

That Fredrick guy was a good one.

I love the idea... look if you don't do your job we will put someone else in your spot.

We almost let Bush walk this year. They will keep KV around IMO. Warren laid some wood in that game so, if they continue to play at a high level, I say Keep KV in his 3rd spot with Warren and Byrd at safety. We still need linebackers that can run, not just thump. Hawthorne, Lofton, and 98 (mind went blank) are all severe liabilities in pass coverage. We need a Vilma out there.

I remember watching highlights of Pierre Warren before preseason started and being very optimistic about him. After the first couple of preseason games,I was pretty excited about him. Glad to have him back. On a different note, I think Vacarro is having a bad year. He is a very talented player and it showed last season. I like the idea of Byrd and Warren deep with Vacarro roaming around closer in. Bush can be substituted in when needed. We have talent back there, we just need somebody to bring it together. If we can grab a good cb in FA and draft a stud LB or two ( preferably without a history of injuries),I think we would be set on D.

The difference between Cutler and Ryan is night and day.

Our secondary was able to prey on Cutler's mistakes. Matty doesn't make as many.

take the bears as a ray of hope

we will see what happens against the falcons. then we will have an idea

but the young bucks looked hungry and were enjoying themselves.

The team that lost to the panties last week would have made the yogi's look like SB contenders. So I would say this was a vast improvement.
