A Big Reason Behind Defense Issues

[car5nc]

Not a single first round pick on the field vs. the Bears ( w/ Gamble out). Lack of talent, plain and simple. Our offense is loaded with first round Picks.

Bart Scott and James Harrison say hi.

Yeah, where you're drafted isn't always the best indication of talent level though I agree that there's a major lack of talent.

[Mr. Scot]

Charles Johnson and Greg Hardy are pretty good for third and sixth round picks.

I get what you mean. Missing Beason, Davis and Gamble all at once hurts, but I don't think the round a player was drafted in is always the best indicator of how good they are.

Oh. Are they on the Panthers now? Sweet.:rolleyes:

Most of the holes are things we all knew ahead of time, yet were not properly addressed in the offseason. DT and CB in particular were both obvious holes and discussed to death. How we went from using the 2nd lowest amount of capspace to the 3rd highest and barely touched these positions is beyond me.

Rookie DTs do not help.

[chknwing]

well going by this logic, Julius Peppers was Drafted in the 1st round, and he was a non factor.

...and despite the offensive juggernaut, we have yet to score 30 points.

it's the panther fan mentality

every starter needs to be like a top 15 draft pick

Uh we scored 10 or less points in half our games last year. I'm fine with 20+

It's better than 10 a game!:)

The Bears offense that ran over us...

RB Matt Forte - 2nd round pick

C Roberto Garza - 4th round pick

G Lance Louis - 7th round pick

T J'Marcus Webb - 7th round pick

T Frank Omiyale - 5th round pick

WR Johnny Knox - 5th round pick

FB Tyler Clutts - undrafted

The Bears do have a few first rounders on offense, but the only one that's actually one of their own selections is G Chris Spencer, and he missed a good portion of the game with an injury. The others are Roy Williams - on his third team and considered by many to be a bust - and Jay Cutler, who was traded from the Broncos and has generally underachieved since.
