Hillenmeyer is the choice. Roach has problems getting players into position. Unexceptable to not only play your position poorly, but to also affect the players around you, which is why the first move made this week was Hillenmeyer for Roach. Even though Frank Omiyale is a damn (I don’t know exactly what it’s called, but you know in Saving Private Ryan, the beach scene, when the door opens on the boats. What is the door on the troop transport boats called? Because that is what Omiyale reminds me of. A door that opens and let’s a bunch of angry people into a place you don’t want them to be.) Anyway, give Beekman a chance. He couldn’t do much worse.

Jeff– Yes true, doesnt really matter..I just think Roach has a better chance than Hillenmeyer from that position. Briggs is really our only hope in stopping AP once hes through the D-Line.

Scott — Adrian Peterson will run over Roach or Hillenmeyer, doesn’t matter–did you see him steamroll that Steeler DB on Sunday? Wow.

Speaking of Adrian Peterson, is our SP ready to go? That’s another change I hope to see. Give AP the ball, at least a good handful of plays (pass or rush), and maybe he’ll break some tackles (unlike Forte).

The secondary is a major problem. Even if they make it to the playoffs (which I doubt) their pass rush isn’t effefctive enough to create mistakes which our safteys and corners can capatalize from. I hope they work on the defense in the offseason if they want to be taken seriously in this league

I really think all these changes can benefit, but I still think that our secondary is a major issue. Tillman and vasher are not what they used to be. I do partially blame that on our weak pass rush. I hope in the off season they seriously address the defense

Well Rob you get your wish pretty much. Hillenmeyer is being moved back to MLB (confirmed by the Bears)…and Beekman is starting at LG apparently (Thank god). While I think Hillenmeyer is the smarter player and able to get calls out better than Roach, to me Roach is a better run stopper than Hillenmeyer, which also scares me with the Vikes is that Hillenmeyer will simply just be ran over by Adrian Peterson.

Brad…As much as I would take a guy like Aaron Kampman…The Packers and Bears making a trade? The apocalypse would happen. But I agree with your point on the 2010 draft. We’re not going to find any real immediate talent at the O-Line or D-Line later in the draft in my opinion. To me, JA is going to have to spend money to sign some free agents next season.

Hey it’s understandable Roy to have the thoughts that we all have, especially after a game like sunday’s. It just shows how passionate we are and that we actually care about the product on the field. We all blog week in, week out on here and discuss the state of the Bears unlike other people who are “Bears” fans for one day of the week for a 17 week period.

Why not trade Lovie to the Redskins? It’s happened before (Gruden to Tampa Bay). Snyder might just go for it, as Zorn’s days are numbered. Maybe we could get WA 2nd round pick.

Also, the Bears only have to eat Lovie’s contract to the exetent he is not paid by someone else if they “cut” him. So if he sat out the entire two years, yeah, that’s $5 Mil/ year. But if some hires him as a head coach or coordinator Bears only pick up the difference.

It’s really too bad that JA couldn’t try and trade for a guy like Aaron Kampman instead of a Gaines Adams, the guy is dying in GB’s 3-4. Unfortunately it looks like 2010′s draft had been basically mortgaged away.

I hear you Harry. If they don’t get a lot better on both sides, yes that might happen.
