Johnny Knox and Devin Hester were ok receivers last year. They both really bulked up this year if they did not lose a step they going to be much improved. As far as Roy Williams he has to challenge these guys to improve there game. IDK what everyone else is seeing but the bears O-line is looking good with those huge tight-ends we should have an awesome run game but time to throw for cutler is a different animal that we got to wait and see.

Knox is better. This year will prove it. Can someone please tell me what Martz has done lately?

——————————————————-

Martz got a below average offense with a terrible O line and really bad wide receivers to the NFC championship game, in his 1st year as offensive coordinator.

It’s funny how so many people are hating on my Bears. Especially the genius calling for a 5-11 season.

We were one game away from the Superbowl. We beat a lot of good teams last year and we didn’t lose but one core player and he was pretty much over the hill anyway.

This team isn’t going to fall off but it will be competitive in this division. Hester or not.

Knox shouldn’t worry because they’ll be plenty of opportunities in this offense. Plus, he had a ton of targets that turned into interceptions and incompletions. Increase the efficiency and there won’t be much dropoff at all.

Hester haters can go blow for all I care. If Cutler doesn’t over throw him twice in the first half (wide open twice), he has two TDs and the Bears a better chance to win the game.

@jeffrey723

Do you even have a point saying the Bears are turning into Millen’s Lions? Let’s see here…

Marinelli has helped the Bears D get back to an elite unit….win for the Bears.

Williams may be considered a bust, but his talent is still there and he had his best year in this offense. He’s a much needed redzone and 3rd down option for a struggling offense. Win for the Bears.

Martz has turned Forte into a sub-par runner and made him into an all-around threat on the ground and through the air.

That’s three wins for the Bears!

To all you morons making fun of the bears, do you realize we went to the NFC championship game? quitting or not quitting, lucky or not lucky, we were 1 TD away from a SB.

====================================

And three quarterbacks, an offensive line and a BJ Raji pick six. Besides, with the Bears buffoonery in the front office, Urlacher’s mouth that has gained the speed while he has lost in his legs, and a playing field that would insult a herd of grazing bison, you set yourselves up for abuse. Along with the accompanying hysterical comments.

BTW, it’s spelled “haters.”

As for the WRs, why dont they try fanutz in there. The dude is 6’4 and can take a lot of contact. also bennett should be in the mix for a starting gig. He developed quite a chemistry with cutler late last year

To all you morons making fun of the bears, do you realize we went to the NFC championship game? quitting or not quitting, lucky or not lucky, we were 1 TD away from a SB. the goal of a team is not to have the shiniest team in NFL. But the most competent. We may have our problems but we work well with it. How is SD with phillip rivers working out? and they play in a crappy division. or how about matt schaub? tony romo? You know what I say? Hatas keep on hatin’, playas keep on playin’

Williams may have hands of steel but Knox is allergic to contact. Dude is soft.

*eyeroll* Yeah, because the Bears are soooooo deep at receiver. Backwards team is backwards.

sissy-boy knox will cut his routes short or change his routes to avoid contact. you just can’t have that in the NFL. you can’t teach toughness and determination. to their credit, the coaches have identified this problem.

In the NFC Championship game, Sam Shields (a Packer) caught as many Chicago passes as Johnny Knox. That number would be two. That would be two more than Hester. Chicago needs options, we’ll see how this plays out.

annnnnnnnnnnnnd here is another player (looking at you tebow) whining about losing his starting job..how about going out and competing? that being said, i’d rather have the bigger/stronger williams out there too, knox gets pushed around and out of the way too easily, leads to interceptions.

Instead of Roy Williams they should have gone after DeAngelo Hall. He was one of Cutler’s best receiver last year.

A 5-11 team taking about reps what they need is a QB that can get the ball to them.

If I was Knox, I’d make Roy carry my helmet and pads after practice.

How much more work are the Bears going to put into becoming the 2007 Lions?

As a Lions fan, this excites me to see so many key elements of Millen’s Dream Team in one place.

Because recreating the 2007 Detroit Lions is the best way to go about competing for a championship.

Good luck with all that, Chicago.

Sazenbacher will emerge as the best wideout on the team.

EJ — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 16:55:09 +0000

I agree with woodg8, Hester should not start. He is by far the fastest player on the team and the best return man but, not a starting reciever. When will Chicago realize this, when he is about to retire?
Knox gives you a much better chance on 2nd and 3rd downs, and gives Cutler a better target in the redzone.

You could have 4 pro bowl receivers but u still need an O-line. Just sayin…

What the hell are they playing at

Move knox to no.2 and roy to no.1, done.

Hester should NOT be a starter

Not surprising. Bears have some love affair with Devin Hester. I think they think he’s invisible when he’s on the field.

Everybody outside the organization can see he’s not a WR yet he still listed as the #1 for years now. Everybody else gets more catches.

By: dfeltz

dfeltz — Sun, 07 Aug 2011 16:02:31 +0000

I am a die hard Bears, Knox is one of the top 3 softest receivers in the league. All he is, is fast. If the ball isn’t thrown to him, it is an incompletion or a pick, I’ve never seen him go get the ball. With that said, not a strong Roy Williams fan either. The first time he does his little 5 yard catch at midfield in the first quarter on a 2nd and 5 and he does his first down motion, I hope fans or players tackle him and tell him to knock it off.

It would be stupid to keep Hester on the field over Knox. Then again, they are the Bears.

If we are able to check the egos at the door and play with a sense of urgency, all the players will be happy because all of them are talented and we need options to be successful…..GO BEARS!
