" Very broad broad view buys it doesn't Sunday's on the bench UN -- casino it was cage. -- quarterback guys police to the bears' problems right now very interest in -- it -- hall will start with what Jerry Angelo told the bears' team website. Earlier today -- do we need to look at some personnel yeah we do there's some of that going on the as you'll -- Sunday so. After practice today. Lovie Smith met the media and how we can go you were -- Smith had no problems telling us that he was not gonna make a change with the offensive line a week later -- question posed directly to Lovie Smith but very different answer."
" Okay. I'm not gonna talk about anything and personnel or. MES pretty clear. So. You guys that if that's all you wanna talk about -- and stuff and just talk about. How."
" She was asked that question later on why you won't discuss personnel changes and he said he wants the opponent guessing just like. Everyone else."
" Wow. That's that's a kiss my ass look bad is -- love me which is very interesting that I. I do you think Jerry West is -- a little bit -- said -- Hey we've not voted to remove might move some guys around here Lovie."
" Yeah you might be kept it they've been Jerry descended from the throne I think the entire building -- these. Very angry that they lost by 35 points the other day so Cincinnati so yes you're -- so be I I don't know exactly how this -- but I wanna give you an idea what everyone else is saying -- and let's make our decision -- that Ron Turner offensive coordinator no one has preached more. More patients with all the newcomers -- Bashing this thing together allowing it to gel much -- the offense won't -- offense as a whole then Ron Turner but six games in. Following a 35 point loss to Cincinnati. I ask turner if he's patient he's being tried out there."
" We've we've got to put on ourselves that's frustrating thing that's apparent for mr. west again we're doing a lot of good things I really like this team we got a good football team when we stopped hurting ourselves. Will be consistently good. -- that needs to stop -- of the you know who. -- tender him an album doin' you know his touches interceptions that you see here in the turnovers and some some little things and so mistakes and things like that sometimes guys trying to do too much like you don't you don't have to do it was just just execute. Get the situation and -- got to do. Religiously were really do more sometimes I can tell if you there was less so on the that's a frustrating thing and it's gonna come he's had to keep working and keep preaching to keep working it. And number what's his versatility and everybody. -- genuine emotions or we'll -- not disappear."
" We -- guys that are sent fifteen penalties combined over the last two games they've got seven turnovers combined over the last two games both losses. And the opponents have you stole second turnovers to score 31 points."
" So Ron Turner's frustrated."
" And Lovie. There's always say anything about it did you replay that Lovie cut injury wracked at. Okay. I'm not gonna talk about anything and personnel what. The US pretty clear. So. She has that if that's all you wanna talk about. Stuff now stuff."
" I think it can mean that's pretty clear she's saying it's it's pretty clear that I'm not gonna talk about it or it's pretty clear that there's going to be some personnel change no."
" It's pretty clear at what he meant is that it's pretty clear he's not going to talk about -- that was my -- Right so basically they each. If personnel changes are coming if you go off of what cheering Angelo told the bears' team website. Then there are obvious areas that you look at I think if you got to start with both lines both offense and defense because. That was the major. Major area of concern. Last -- and also the offensive line has been listen if it's taken them a little bit of time to to. To come together and it really hasn't happened. With the exception of some flashes and in that Detroit -- so with that being said. Obviously everyone's gonna point to as the specific area left guard. I don't think it's fair to put everything on -- elf Orlando Pace hasn't played well this entire season orders Olin Kreutz Olin -- played well -- had his struggles Chris Williams has struggled as well so that you can make a change if you want and and you've been in there I'm told -- he's been taken some first team reps may be. The saudis to get him ready I don't know who's gonna end up starting on Sunday at all I know is that one change is not enough if the other four guys don't step up to twelve out on the other side of the ball Tommie Harris a full practice today on Wednesday in full pads first time all season. Declined to talk to the media. Declined to talk to the media as the Bears were coming off the field and the -- flash uninteresting about that is that you don't -- he goes off the other day. And basically. You know puts together ground rules and the fact that he goes out of practices so. In all likelihood Tommie Harris is -- be -- starting at the three technique and in what kind of changed teammate next to -- does Marcus Harrison gets the call at the nose tackle position would you stay with Anthony -- so -- are some -- changes you can kind of pick -- after -- your -- another one could be flip -- Hunter Hillenmeyer and Nick -- at linebacker may be playing around in the secondary in the if neither is."
" Office employment anywhere that they really likes that guy named Julia you know. I know you can make -- change to be bristles like maybe that's for the Bears are going to do but is -- enough is a layman anywhere practice going anywhere that they actually like that there. The least bit excited about as we go ahead here because you know if you look at this thing and start thinking about what's gonna happen how are we going to get better. A little bit about the judges -- getting better in general as we look ahead this year in -- way ahead how do you do that is there anybody they have they really --"
" Yeah they they they signed Kevin -- from Cleveland used to tackle can play left and right they also have the ability to and -- between and there are those that cute guys that that they like Kent and and talked about in terms of the death but ultimately you gotta look at at Orlando patient and work through his problems and using some veteran savvy get a little better -- you have to -- the Chris Williams. It looked like begins to -- can you see some consistency at right tackle and to me. Unless that changes the Bears -- gonna have some difficulties listen there -- much better passing team now. In large part because of the Jay Cutler some of the best -- offensive line which was a poor pass blocking off offensive line last year but guys -- They struggled with the run game. Because of it I think and that has to improve a little bit. I think you might see Jason McKie a little bit more in their I would like to see Desmond Clark a little bit more in there just took to make sure that they establish the run because in order to win the you gotta stop the run and you have to be able run the ball and then their other things that you do off the -- but back to meet basic football the Bears had difficulty with the."
" That's what people have asked this question and I think it's a good one. Win. Do we stop seeing Greg Olsen used as an inline blocker when it is clear it is something he is not good at doing. Can they use him as a tight ended too tight ends and on the other side or simply insert him day as a wide receiver essentially. -- what you want but don't ask him to."
" Do things he can't do then I think that the best answer would be immediately that's what you would like to see put players in a position where they can succeed doing what they do best. And I think following that loss to to Cincinnati's path again that was the kind of ones like an earthquake in this building where it -- the foundation a little bit so I think everything is being evaluated and people don't wanna see that very fair point and you would like to think he can be. Begin seeing that this week against Cleveland because the next four games guys. Will decide the bears' season three of the next four homes at Cleveland this week obviously a very winnable game and in the three games. Following the Cleveland game. Are all against teams that you're gonna have to fight for for playoff position in Arizona and home. At San Francisco and in the Sunday night game against Philadelphia and in all likelihood the ten remaining games. If you look ahead and -- Lovie Smith likes to break down in the quarters but we're gonna go step further than that the Bears have to go basically five and one at home you would think how. Probably three to one on the road the rest of the way. Is this team capable of going eighteen to over the next ten games -- that's what I think if you're gonna need if you wanna get -- play well I don't I don't think they are. I don't know I don't see how. I mean get -- did you think they are either cable donate don't know not get. Not like this I mean a stranger things have happened but at least we taking it in major shift in what we've seen from the offensive -- and the defensive line for them to be in a position to even do that. Plus -- quarters after the Browns you've got to do what other Cardinals before and guys Eagles and the Vikings. I mean I don't know you don't is very possible that I mean if they did football's wacky NFL football particularly really wacky. I don't I don't know what -- lose all four of those games but I wouldn't dismiss an -- it. Well I think -- Lovie Smith even talked about just say they're 500 team and they played that way so. Anything can happen. -- they are. When you look at the record overall their feet and two at home over the last two years including two and no this season and in the NFC I think they're they're the only team that hasn't played three home games so far at this point this season breath but they're also for any on the -- of the last two years including one in three this year so did you need -- they need they need to go out and be able went on the road. The rest of the way they're gonna be able to do with it helped out by six home games over their final ten foot yeah. To be able win on the road I noticed exhibit please make. -- by the way. Played a strong safety and his sophomore year at Texas didn't know that because you know he's always been known as the interceptor the cornerback on the alternate and opposite Charles -- so there is some experience but he's got out there playing safety will be interesting to see they want playmakers out on the field pressure apparently -- the mold Fernando -- game without one play 15."
" Flat out quit questioning slighted in -- know -- in the transition from college to the pros do a lot of college tackles and end up playing guard to. -- is believed to be an easier position to play even tackle rather than moving guards -- we've seen guys move from the edge in. It is theoretically. Kevin -- their swing tackle. Could he be a possibility if guard he's a veteran play tackle for a long time so I don't think there's been any thought to putting okay fine but it just because that was our choice to fight Zach thank you got it to."
