..is currently unemployed.

Obviously ST was a nightmare and has been for quite a while(yes I'm aware we had some serious depth issues due to injuries to our starters but still...) and it has to be looked at.

Apparently the Bears low balled Dave Toub(didn't even offer him enough money to put him in the top 10 in the NFL for ST coaches) so he is exploring his options now. I just read he's interviewing for the Miami HC job but there is virtually 0% chance he lands that.

I hope we at least give him a look. Would be a GREAT hire.

hell yeah. bears special teams are top of the line. if we got him it'd be an instant upgrade.

i'm also willing to bet he'd want a stud KR to work with, which would make going after ginn jr. in free agency a realistic possibility. pilares is decent but we can do much better.

the thing about the Bears ST is.. everyone thinks it's all due to Hester, but their blocking is fuging phenomenal and their coverage is insane. They were #2 in the league this year at 5.4 yards per punt return allowed compared to our 13.3 yards allowed per punt. WOW, I didn't realize it was THAT bad hahaahaha

Special teams improved GREATLY over the year. Especially in the second half. You can make all the coaching changes you want but at the end of the day, it has a lot to do with the personnel you have on your ST units.

Exactly, If the guys on special teams are dumbfugs then their gonna make the ST coach look like a dumb fug. Its all about execution and knowing your damn assignment when it comes to special teams. The ST coach can only lead them in the right direction its up the players to believe in what he's teaching.

So you are saying the coach doesn't matter? I'm putting my application in tomorrow to all 32 teams!

Seriously, coaches do make a difference. Give Scotty O'Brien and Danny Crossman the same rosters and you would see totally different results.

I don't think Rivera makes any changes in staff, but to say Toub would not make a difference is wrong, imo.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
