Comments on: Mike Tice: If Devin Hester isn’t involved in Bears’ offense, fire me http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/12/mike-tice-if-devin-hester-isnt-involved-in-bears-offense-fire-me/ ProFootballTalk on NBCSports.com Sat, 25 May 2013 00:57:58 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: asst2regionalmgr http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/05/12/mike-tice-if-devin-hester-isnt-involved-in-bears-offense-fire-me/#comment-1798448 Wed, 23 May 2012 16:18:14 +0000 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=728060#comment-1798448 A lot of people giving thumbs down to comments regarding not using Hester as a receiver. Even comments stating he should be in the slot. All of these things require the ability to run precise routes, which is a skill he does not possess. He is a returner, the best that ever played the game, but his skill set is limited to that area. He is completely different to handle when coming at people with a full sprint and blockers in front of him. When starting from a stopped position and getting jammed he cannot produce.

Your third round pick was used to move up and snag Alshon Jeffery. Being from Carolina you’ve already watched him dominate, so I’ll skip the introductions. But now you can compare Olsen’s stats to Alshon’s. Winning!

What a meat head thing to say. He doesn’t deserve to be an offensive coordinator – people will ask him things like this. He should be the offensive line coach, he did a good job there and nobody asked him anything.

Tice the offensive genius will practically single handedly help the Vikings out of the cellar.

Poor Bears fans. I really feel for you.

No. Seriously. I do.

I’m sorry, I just can’t keep a straight face.

This guy will be fired, but it will be for incompetence, not Hester.

Aftwer watching Tice as an idiot head coach in Minnesota, you’d think the Bears would have steered clear. What do they see in this clown!?!?

Short dump passes to Hester and Forte, mid range stuff to Bennett with Marshall and Alshon Jeffery going down field will work.
If Knox comes back then even better.

Kickoffs going out the back of the endzone or knee over 50% of the time now is what weems is for. Bears offense is bigger all the way across the field this year, which should be better blocking for hester to get free for big plays. The backfield is where he would be the most dangerous no one said he had to play only wr. Tice said hester is going to be lined up everywhere. Bears finally have a real offense that is up to date not stuck in 1999 very excited for this year.

Tice knows if he can over exaggerate Hester’s involvement then opposing teams may take that into account and Marshall and Alshon will see less double teams. Also Forte will have easier time in the Flats with either one on one with Safety or Linebacker rather than both.

Think about it “why would Tice say Hester is NOT part of our game plan”. Randy Moss in New England had that monster year because of Welker’s effectiveness underneath. Same applies here.

That hit he took was brutal.

I’d like to see Marshall, Jeffery, and Bennett with Hester as the 4th receiver. Bennett catches everything even close to him.

the dude can’t catch and when he plays wr he uses all his energy on it and doesn’t return as well. Save him for returns and maybe use him a couple times a game for slants or percy harvin backfield stuff. It made sense to use him as a wr when the alternative was roy williams but not when weve got marshall.

Just look at the record books. I wouldn’t completely keep him off the field on offense, but I would certainly limit his reps. Keep him as fresh as possible for kickoff & punt returns, he’s probably the best EVER in the return game. With the addition of Brandon Marshall along side Johnny Know and Greg Olsen, they can definitely afford to do that.

Leave Marshall and Jeffery to run deep, Bennett as the possession WR and it can be an electric offense if the O-line can keep Jay upright long enough to let it loose.

Besides, if Hester could run anything besides go routes, Tice wouldn’t have to worry about this.
