Saints home opener is here! I'll be at the Dome drankin dome foam playin through from the night before. Urlacher may or may not play (prayers to him for losing his mother this week). Should be a good game either way. Hopefully our 2ndary can step their game up. WHO DAT!
I'm more worried about Matt Forte running all over us than Cutler shredding the defense, gotta get some penetration and show we can stop the run. I want to see more Ingram, and more play-action on 3rd and short.
well, if we aren't down 14-0 in the first, you just may. i can't wait to see what Ingram can do as a Saint, baby!
Forte doesn't actually run the ball well anymore. He is basically their best receiver. Like a Reggie Bush on steroids kinda deal. That worries me more, because our OLBs will have to make tackles out in space. I'm not looking forward to that.
I read an article about a month ago that said the Bears had beefed up their O-Line this year and put more of a focus on running between the tackles. They thought it would help with Cutler's play action and keep him healthy. I realize Forte didn't have many rushing yards against the Falcons but think that he & Marion Barber could improve that element of their offense as the season goes on (hopefully not this week).
Word is that Urlacher is going to play. He's on the practice field with the Bears today. He could have the game of his life. I hope not......
Forte is a Slidell High / Tulane alum and local boys always seem to play well when they come home. I want to beat the hell out of these damn bastards from Obama/Oprah-land.
FINALLY get to play the bears in the dome. it's gonna be an interesting matchup with the way that atlanta was handled by chicago. i think our defense needs to make a statement this week to set the tone and build our swagger for the rest of the season. we also MUST stay on the right side of the turnover battle as chicago thrives on them. i realllllllyyyy hope we lay the wood on em at home, and i hope we kill their fans with kindness after the way some of us have been treated at soldier field. on a side note for all you fantasy football players, i posted a new thread in the fantasy forum on who to start and sit. if anybody could sling some of their expertise my way, i'd appreciate it and would be more than happy to lend mine. /threadjack
