Comments on: Biggs: Angelo may go “All In” for 2012 http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/biggs-angelo-may-go-all-in-for-2012/ Chicago Bears Blog Thu, 23 May 2013 19:08:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: BrianL http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/index.php/chicago-bears-news/biggs-angelo-may-go-all-in-for-2012/#comment-26504 BrianL Wed, 21 Dec 2011 20:42:38 +0000 http://www.chicagobearsweblog.com/blog/?p=1111#comment-26504 Im almost scared to think about what Angelo's version of "all in" would consist of... Im just hoping he retires and George McCaskey sends Ted Phillips and Tim Ruskell packing along with him. I also dont know about O.C. I doubt Martz will be back, and I wouldnt be to excited to see Tice get promoted... but I have to believe at this point with the circumstances being different, there would be more outside interest in the O.C. position.

So the plan to go "all-in" should be for the Bears to sign Vincent Jackson (if he doesn't re-sign with the Chargers), and then to draft Michael Floyd, the stud receiver out of Notre Dame. Floyd would learn alot from being under Jackson's wing and he is an excellent blocking wide receiver, which will behoove Matt Forte. Not only would that give you a solid one-two punch at the receiver position, but then you also can't forget the extension the Bears just signed Earl Bennett to. Add the likes of Deuce Lutui (OG- Arizona Cardinals) or Carl Nicks (OG-New Orleans Saints) to the offensive line and Jay Cutler would be putting up career numbers for at least the next 4-5 years, but more importnantly, the Bears would be dominating teams with all the weapons. Now for the defensive side of things, the Bears should look into signing current Colts' DE, Robert Mathis to compliment Julius Peppers. Isreal Idonije has done a decent job being Batman's Robin, but not good enough to the point where opposing offensive lines have to stop double and even triple teaming Peppers because of Idonije. Robert Mathis is used to playing Robin, considering he's played with Dwight Freeney his whole career. And like the Colts' defense, the Bears' is predicated on getting to the quarterback, and Mathis has made a living off of it. Lastly, there was talk in this past condensed offseason that Eagles' CB Asante Samuel was not happy with the Eagles' additions of both Nnamdi and Rodgers-Cromartie. The word is that he is still upset with his situation in the city of brotherly love, and before the season, the Eagle's asking price was a third round draft choice. With Bowman, Jennings, and possibly even Corey Graham all leaving the team via free agency, why not trade for the Pro-Bowl caliber corner. He would compliment Charles "Peanut" Tillman on the other side, and he can do what Lovie Smith loves to do: CREATE TURNOVERS. If the Chicago Bears would ever open the wallet just a little more, stop being so stingy and go "all-in" by making these necessary moves, they could easily build a team, that while is up there in age, could be viable Super Bowl contenders for the next 5-6 years. ohh yeah, and fire Martz.

To move up in the first round to get him might cost us Devin Hester or Lance Briggs. I know I speak of blasphemy, but something needs to change. The NFC East the last 10 years is a blueprint of what not to do: Lurie, Jones, and Snyder can fight each other for free agent headlines. All they will have to show for it is another overrated team. Doug Baffone metaphorically described acquisition of Cutler and the current Chicago offensive talent to "buying a Mercedes and then putting 4 bald tires on it."

However, if you use it to plug short term holes, it will work. You don't go "ALL IN" in football. You build your teams through the draft and maybe pick up a good player in FA. If Vincent Jackson becomes a free agent, then of course, you can bid for him. Even NE, despite how great of an organization they've been the last ten years, have had more than their share of free agent busts.
