Bears release Chester Taylor

Matt Forte seemed to do just fine with the same O line. Don't confuse poo pass blocking with being the same on run blocking.

Forte only ran well out of two back sets (which skewed his overall numbers). When forced to deal with strictly the O Line and the TE's he was slightly worse than mediocre. Let's also take into account he is a much better back that Taylor was, even compared to when Chester was in his prime.

As far as Taylor, in 2009 in Minny he averaged 3.6 yards per carry. This last year? 2.4.

Barf.

Cardinals are hurting for a RB.

I would say Taylor is a better option than Tiki Barber or Clinton Portis at this point.

it wouldn't fix the fact that their Oline is not very good either. Warner's quick release just made that unit look better than it really was

23 seconds in. :D

This is a Mike Martz offense, man... "two back sets" are just about the rarest verbiage in that scheme.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
