" And a final round Chicago Sports Radio six -- the scoreboards of friends and as we do every Tuesday or Wednesday we will commit our vision he's brought -- look forward to Barrington it's. Q why they have more than 75000. Unique visitors each month that motor works dot com and by Sullivan's steakhouse great food. Great cocktails. Great value I really enjoyed listening last night you do hub and habeas Hubbell was. And it -- zero tolerance policy. Or he got over excited or nights that can take you longer shut that down and hurried."

" Yeah well."

" I'm doing exactly what he did here right and an end and we also I think we might Kyle Orton opening was going to be a period of chase him out of town nobody said the guy can't play it was just that he's limited in what he can do it and."

" You know I gotta believe that there's a ton of -- fans would be awfully happy if they can see him throwing to Brandon Marshall and and Eddie Royal here you know with. -- Marino in the backfield and one of the best offensive lines in football so hungry. Happy form but but no I would much rather have Jay Cutler look and -- the -- the president in the future than Kyle Orton."

" Yeah I you know I you're never talk about -- I mean everything about that when you watch the way to run an offense it's clean obvious passing lanes are cleaned and they're they're very early get a hand on amid the Patriot I mean it's just. -- on that offensive line not only the one would move right away love. It it's just -- pass protection do if Jake publicly QB uniform that clean enough have to run for his life could be frightening."

" Well I can't tell you aware of the Mia culpa comes in or the I was stronger whatever people know how are you want me awarded. Obviously this mcdaniels can can coach a little bit you know the end and I still think he'd be screwed up. The Cutler situation royally I think continuously be better off if he's still Adam. But no -- comes so the product on the field what this ball club is doing now I think the thing that some people are missing though is nobody has ever disputed. That -- known as one of the better 34 football coaches in the NFL and he came in there. With the talent there to do it here Elvis Dumervil perfectly suited for DJ Williams played the inside backer spot Champ Bailey is the best shutdown cover corner in the league so. That they're doing really well they bring in a couple veterans like Vonnie Holliday -- the play he made late net game -- Jack and Tom Brady I did. They're they're for real on defense and and then and so again I guess again it was a smart enough to take that the help of an outstanding veteran defensive coordinator he's running his offense the way he wants to and I -- I'm -- I'm not SM a believer I don't think there's Super Bowl contender. I. I think they probably have to be a playoff favorite at this point they had a five game that start. But I gotta give the kid all the credit in the world he obviously knows what he's."

" the thing is it is sort of remind her nose thinking about it Sunday and I've said this before about the defense is what you're saying that I figure vice anything that you say that makes me smarter. Does good looking and smarter at how big because he's sort of forget would you watch would have woman that is why Mike Nolan was a guy in the first place you know sometimes it's such a disaster when a guy because they push you forget. Dead dead leading up to that the guy I was probably held a football coach in I think he's got sort of proving that was his Bronco defense."

" It's -- a lot of guys who are arguably the best coordinators of all time. Who work cut out to be head coaches you know people forget that Dick LeBeau. Who is arguably the greatest defensive coordinator ever. Can horrible year and a half Stanton Cincinnati people forget that Dan Henning is that the genius in Miami you failed I believe twice as -- head coach there there's some guys are meant to be coordinators and obviously Mike -- as normal."

" Bears Falcons this week I am very pessimistic. Yeah. -- thought I'd today I think -- were Elkins presents challenges to managerial business there's just simply cannot say they've -- proven they can answer. These various challenges in and maybe this is how it looks from a national level and use DV publisher -- pro football weekly can give us that national perspective as well. But I've been freezing adversely this is an opportunity for the Bears to show me they're a lot better and I think --"

" That's because we're closer to a from the people nationally who haven't you know seen every play you don't get what's going on with the personal behind the scenes. Who haven't looked at some of the extra factors are the intangibles that come into it. -- what's the point taken heat if you don't call for all the way semis we'll get a set on Tuesday were already in print I take no joy in this but I have made the Falcons my -- for the week I think it's a terrible match up for the Bears and and then like you I guess I'm fifty extremely pessimistic about it --"

" Well it you know it's it's really hard I mean if -- I watched some of the niners game -- you know again I know that Matty ice can play. And we know that Michael Turner who gets it and -- hasn't been brilliant like he was was -- presents a threat. But they -- he's got weaponry and things going on there and we've seen this very defense. You don't want to -- little bit this next week's stumble little bit at that it if you stumble against this team at their place. I you don't Jay Cutler god bless him hope he can bring back but I don't know how far from me that he can bring you back to -- on the Bears play military that this is where are now that I've made the Falcons my locker and I lose more of those and I win and that's enough to know how the -- gonna do this. You -- you just touched on the key for the Bears if it went bad if you're under 500 in your lock of the week it's not a good thing okay the south Lebanon but charging anybody for -- yeah now. You're bitter I'm kidding you and -- if there's always spread involvement should be victory anyway I -- that we have points grandma and I."

" Just telling people young guys you consider what you're paying for this advice about how. I know the way I could see the Bears winning the game Sunday is -- cover believer out of me as far as his physical ability as far as in his ability to make no rare throws other people can make to see things on the football field now. I don't think he over the course of the season that the Bears are good enough to wide receiver. Or necessarily even in the running game. But the Falcons if they have an Achilles heel are extremely young and mediocre in the secondary. And so the all the bears' chance here is for Cutler to get into a shootout with Brian because when -- when we come back and out of the Bears. Bears defense and what might happen there. I just keep any visions of what Matt Stafford and I've been on the job on those visions for thirty minutes and now you know Roddy White is is I don't know if he's in Calvin -- league but even then next here. Michael Jenkins is probably better names in the Bears have a wide receiver and Tony Gonzales is a hall of Famer. Michael Turner showed up last week after averaging 3.2 yards a pop their first three games he averaged four point five got the ball in the end zone three times. This is an offensive machine it is a bad match up for the Bears but where it could get interesting is is you know that the Falcons can be exploited through the air."

" And the way the ball bounces and sometimes the Bears get turnovers you don't expect them together and -- times and -- that tends to be an equalizer but if I'm a Bears safety. And any given play. I've got to make a call move between one of those wide receivers are running the the deep out or dig back to the ball. In Tony Gonzales blowing right by me depending and and where and when the corners gonna handoff that wideout. What do you do I knew we -- pick your poison and eight against a lesser quarterback. Flexed like Stafford for example who misfired on a lot of those throws and exactly just that situation. You can get some breaks this guy is going to find the guy who's open he's going to fight to get it I decide not to cover."

" The only thing we'll -- the only thing but I think the most important thing you can do. He is -- take Danieal Manning and then an awful pollen and that's. The name all your longevity -- again had. And yet Kevin -- get -- all your safeties and say guys. I know we've told you this 500 times that you -- a thousand times this week. Too -- means to deep. Nothing gets behind you you keep everything in front of you and you force Matt Ryan to complete six or seven passes and put together ten play drives that is what. This is actually I just think if ever there was a game where the Tampa to -- should be the flavor of the day. Is this game you wanna play in all day long you're gonna bend but not break you're gonna give up a lot of yardage. But as long as you keep everything in front view that's the best to attack for the Bears defense on this stuff and stripped the ball and get it out -- If you can get -- I mean I don't waving at our offensive line in general for Atlanta you know two of their better run blockers in pass blockers and -- been okay well but they're not special. And this is. It certainly a tougher match up for a gloomy day and brown then then the Lions -- the packers' war. But it's not the best offensive line and never see if this is where animals and I belong nonaligned lonely because I think he beats guys he should be. And then kind of becomes invisible this is a game where you know to feel real legitimate if hillbilly minutes and even matches is one where if he wants to be a big time player he's gotta show up."

" Really his -- crazy thought Lovie Smith is clearly taking two of the more active role of defensive coordinator. And for whatever reason he was you know even some according -- Dan Pompeii Colin Hendry quote him we're losing even willing to talk about it which is amazing. But what if coming off the bye week having an extra week of preparation. Is it possible. That even with his trust in his scheme his understanding of the cover to his knowledge of how it all works. That maybe we see a twisted if ever there was a time. Ten knots. Dive by a thousand cuts say he despite everything -- saying being correct about what you can do to bend but not break to allow them to gain yards and maybe not score points. Wouldn't this be the ultimate time for a more active dedicated defense -- head coach for an extra week -- time to maybe do some little more risky."

" You know again it would if you believe you have the personnel to do -- and where I have an issue with that. He has you cannot afford to have any plays in this football game. Where Roddy White Michael Jenkins and Tony Gonzales are all singled up. Or or worse yet if Jerious Norwood in the game on third down. You you've got to get help somewhere and you're gonna get that help in the two deep now he can be more aggressive up front. One thing they don't like to do nobody does and as you don't really blitz out of the Tampa two all that off and you complain without a little bit. -- and you can do -- he can do certainly is what Doug you know beer screaming for all the time which is more stomping in the line and play more games with twists up front. But at the end of the day if your -- and give these guys coverage you give them you know help over the top somebody's gonna get --"

" LB wants line stunts and baucus told Metamucil -- here's the thing you know we talked about I don't doubt that others just when he was it was -- last year when they played this game world frightened to death of Michael Turner and we figured that maybe this. Veteran Bears defense could rattle the get a little bit could give -- blocks and do things stupid but hub. -- will do anything to him I mean -- I don't know what you did you know maybe big immediately had two weeks to get ready form. But he doesn't seem to meet again though they could get oil recognize what they held he seems to recognize that."

" Split kids -- rookies anymore really -- got twenty games under his belt same thing with -- although Flacco obviously got a little rattled less. Sunday against Cincinnati but from Ryan is as advertised everything that we thought he was the third pick overall in the draft he clearly has more composed back there this year. He was last year and and and the only talk about a brilliant trade I don't know anybody who dispute I have I can't say. They got the best for the Chiefs because we'll see what that high number was actually low number two now turns in there is no best of -- yeah. The club real blood video but but I don't know anybody who doubted that taking this kid who already was really good as a rookie. Giving him a safety valve or a security blanket like Tony Gonzales I mean this team is. Is is significantly better than the team that the Bears lost to him in the dome last year."

" Florida committed talk about Tony Gonzales have a question for my also -- ask about these -- rumors that appeared to follow Spurrier is. And some other goings on Buffalo perhaps as we should get -- will do all that writer Chicago Sports Radio SIX SEVENTY The Score."

" Israel Idonije will be fun. That's great guy is gonna need to pay a terrific got to talk to -- football that we have our very own terrific. Football with a lot target -- your Tuesdays Wednesdays -- tomorrow if you you know look at what -- they'll hump. Good questions of living -- million people there's so much going on it's going to -- still -- about joining the Dolphins."

" Then yeah there was a rumor that started as they usually do -- this passes were travels now somebody exploring hey do you think it would be possible if and it becomes old like god the Bears are getting Terrell Owens and let everybody has to go through the issuing a statement that is definitely not going to happen and then I am forced to ask you. What do you know about everything that's been said regarding TO being traded bills to bear."

" You know anybody who would say never I guess missed the Jay Cutler trade -- because normally you would say this is something with the Bears. Just don't do I still hoping that Edwards who I mean. It is appeared that it didn't self before. It's not real likely scenario. Effort and I think more than that I'm not sure that the bill's trade him at all and you know and I'm not sure what the point in trading him as what are you give up for TO. Do you get out of three I wouldn't not with what I'm seeing right now maybe if you get unprofor. And for the bills are you better off picking up an extra third or fourth round draft choice and who's gonna pull the trigger on this is Russ Brandon secure enough that he's gonna survive after the year it's certainly. Looks near impossible -- Dick Jauron is gonna survive so in and Ralph Wilson obviously isn't making these decisions now. That in the last piece from the Bears fan's perspective I know it's tempting and on the guy and comes out twice a week every week and screams until the worst wide receiver Lee I get better. But you cannot ignore the fact that TERRELL OWENS has destroyed every team he's been up. The simple historical fact is that only if you only give them all the credit is certainly got to give them some of the credit for -- up every team he's been around this point. Know some of those teams have had some success. The Eagles did get to to a Super Bowl they lost it. But they couldn't wait to get him out of town the following year the 49ers we're not very good when he was there at the -- the Cowboys never even won a playoff game and so. I just I don't know I'd love to see the Bears give veteran wide receiver but I don't think that's thug wanna -- you know say all that being said about him and I don't disagree with a word you said. It but -- by the numbers when you look at what he's done over the course of his career and maybe can't you know. Did not include all the stuff you're talking about -- but he is he one of the ten best wide receivers of all time fifteen best it's a great argument Terry and I I am I have a real clear. When -- we get to the Hall of Fame question I don't think you do include any of the stuff I just talked about the Hall of Fame. I have not ever read any of the charters in many of the major sports hall of fans that say winning championships is a part. Making your teammates like he was a part of it -- there's there's he's big character cost us in the right. That you can argue about but but EI think it's gonna be awfully difficult to keep TO just on that. -- justify keeping T a lot of offense."

" I mean when you look at you know historically and I I realized the game is change of logo and I get all that but really. You might be looking at right now for the last number of years maybe two of the greatest wide receivers in the history of the game and Randy Moss deal. It would you like him it and you know you hate him you have whatever. You know the fact is that's what you might have been looking at your monetary --"

" We're really gets interesting is that I have my issues with TO but they're not as significant or serious. As my issues with Michael Irvin who's in the Hall of Fame correct or Ray Lewis -- is clearly going in the hall of fame and who somehow has become a beloved character ideal numbers. Kind that one to make sure you know so yeah when it comes the question of the the historical perspective while we're gonna look and done what he is not. I think he's one of the ten best receivers of all time."

" It's amazing we don't know and ask you are you surprised that -- what goes also been able to do I didn't know what to make of when that deal was made if there was a lot left it'd take a little bit left in the tank -- we see that happen Obama guy is just like always so he looks like he's ninety but he doesn't look like he's ninety."

" Now and I think part of it is because well he's not a nonexistent blocker or or or of the worst blocker in the world he hasn't always been asked to do a lot of that he hasn't. Taken the pounding that some guys take playing that position and -- playing on the line. He is a phenomenal athlete you gotta remember -- he was a starting forward on the cal basketball team. In -- athleticism is there and I guesses the biggest part of the answer to me is if you look at his last two seasons in Kansas City. Thank you was over ninety receptions and well over a thousand yards vols here so it's not like that is that is the first signs -- shown up. Thank you 33 -- even more has been around eleven years so not not not at all surprised I think he's got a great situation he may do for a couple more years so speaking of."

" Tight ends and expectations. And pedigree we were discussing their recently Greg Olsen and just win do we re calibrate. How good we think she's supposed to be. And I I made a bad prediction you're making fun of your block it away by make fun of paradise and for trade jay college here -- going to be the Pro Bowl this year serving well answers I -- it for sure that that that the -- they knew for sure was he was going to be a pro ball low level one -- my for sure is absolutely completely and totally wrong. Because while he's fast and well he looks great while he's running he doesn't really run. Away from people he's not elusive in the field he certainly isn't physical -- your clock if you're not going to be physical. He got to do everything else really really really well and I don't know when it's time to re calibrate Greg -- expectations."

" Let's not yet because I. I think Dan it was a reasonable. Assumption prediction whatever you wanna call -- don't really like. Reasonable plateau and all of the same -- on that though doesn't -- same boat because I will challenge you to find another tight end in the NFL today. Who best case doesn't face man coverage and every route and in many cases being double teamed. Defensive coordinators are looking at the Chicago Bears there's no wide receivers they have to double they're taking away and -- I guess I'm saying is that there's -- offensive coordinators have played so far have agreed with you and Karrie and me they said also the guy who can hurt us too and that's the guy they're taking away. And then so until. One of these receivers emerge as a legitimate threat and every time every down. I think it's going to be really."

" Hard -- Reynolds Vinatieri who it who we were joking about how oh how hard Olsen got hit even balls he's caught Wolfe is that because rule is that because. He's first and foremost in the safeties mind when you -- I would bracket coverage and double coverage is he taking some of these harder hits because the safeties closer to a."

" That's that's part of the dentist the safety responsibility. The safety has been told that's the guy you're looking -- for the when when they the only goal of the game plan all week long who's who's gonna hurt us. That's the guy you don't want coming down the middle don't dont forget that I think with one exception may -- anyone inception of the three. Monstrous hits that come to mind were all well -- on the football field he's got taken those shots five yards over the line. One was about -- out on the sideline and goal was a seam route down the middle and that's what those safeties have been set up to do."

" That's sort of what I'm seeing the season goes on Sundays on -- a combination of hot sauce in -- for -- she -- And it may start to see things but boy I'll tell you that that some of those hits he's taken I just keep thinking how good. All my gut and we thought this guy is gonna catch seventy passes I I mean I like him to remember if he ever gets to seventy. And maybe just put what do -- be such as instant chemistry between the two nobody. They pal around they love each other you do they're always together no matter where it is your cut was it well if you know Cutler's year whether Greg Olsen is here to."

" I'm not you know I'm not sure where is that I think it's probably around 8910 catches I'm not right not seventy yet I think that. He -- there is the chemistry. He's got the ability they've had the bye week to work on some things. You do is is now and then if you give yourself scouting that's what you do in the biweekly you got one quarters he's not the way. You know what defensive coordinators are doing to take him away from it and tonight come up with some new wrinkles -- one of things I'd like to see him do that I don't think I've seen once this year the."

" His line them up and H back in front of in front of Matt Forte."

" Feel they've started in there than they flex him out yeah I mean never -- when the ball is snapped he's not there right dale Golan -- for the long way the other."

" I -- Miller runs and swing routes out of the backfield would become a safety don't do some things to get the ball in his hands."

" Force defenses to cover him differently and then you'll find more openings on the football field --"

" Let people stuff killing him for five minutes and well 40 my god anyway tomorrow you will be your belong to the American people. I -- is it is that you shouldn't be anyway and W your guy Dick you're on I know you love them and you think she's a wonderful coach but if he -- he's not showing interest here. Well Alou yes and I got to rub it in doesn't make."

" Marleau is -- and I guy he is he's a good friend and I do love means an outstanding human being I do think he's a good football coach but. The way this business works is when you do what his teams have done this year he's the -- has got to take the fall he knows that and and I think it's unfortunate because this -- second shot he probably won't get a third shot this is going to be his legacy."

" But the bottom line is that you know you look at what happens with these teams they had the New England Patriots beat and that I got on him that was around Leodis McKelvin. The different situation if they win that football game -- a look at Tennessee Titans they could easily be three you know is no 13 now weeks four weeks five they're quitting so."

" Momentum as a whole bunch of it then. And that's why I'm probably underwriting the Bears this week and they've got pretty good momentum but in the case the bills and Dick Jauron clearly this is the -- responsible and does not survive."

" It does seem strange because you know I think that deflection in the first week. Somehow has enabled good -- the fairy dust to keep being sprinkled on the Broncos that -- was the most improbable. If you know it is going to be picked up until. I mean that was a game there was all -- an -- game to watch within the last minute -- was compelling and the next thing you know here's a tip follow a guy -- 87 yards and you're going. War Hoffman and you know what -- fascinating about it when -- right we talk about just no fairy dust -- intangibles how this happened because of that kept doesn't occur. Then the Bengals are five and Allen were equally stunned. I think about it I always dug in here leg. There's so little separates -- skins and -- point -- trying to -- there's so few games there's only sixteen games. It's what you don't have a 162 to sort of spread everything out and say well. It is not enough time to recover in a baseball team can go through a bad couple weeks. You -- you can't. Do -- just as a percentage did you did you get these one bad game especially when you throw in the injury factor when you throw that the polarization. Of these rosters. -- with so with people making all the money a handful do make all the money you lose a star on offense -- a different team well and that's and that's why the ups and downs from season to season so dramatic in this sport the Tennessee Titans on Sunday night talent lies. I still closer to a thirteen and three team than an 015 team but the reality is that our -- five they're probably gonna finish five and eleven this your best case. But are very capable of bounce right back next year -- 1240 -- I know use the term momentum which I really don't generally believing game to game. I just think some years things work out right that's what this veteran trying to say did in my in my own simple confession that's on trying to say I know I actually looked a little tape."

" Late last week of the Broncos skin and and one from week one and that that first game and then from. From week four. And they're the same players they're playing the same scheme. But they've got a swagger and they and they got a body language and chemistry now and in so maybe momentum is the wrong word but there's no question in my mind that winning breeds winning in this league."

" Playing harder you can India and he is it is good again upon my business that was what football is a sport were actually playing harder can make you incrementally better mobile for a touchdown pass against Jones went to a defender he and I know yeah. I mean that can't kick bullying kids coming out of the tipped ball -- and not let up in the air that -- look at the."

" I get the better I guess the better word the momentum -- confidence community NFL team playing with confidence and then they're much better than their ability and when a team has no confidence like the Tennessee Titans right now they can have all the pro bowlers they want to can't win for Formula One of the best coaches of this generation -- we will be included a moral my friends take you having a neck until."
