The Bears kick-off training camp in 3 days finally some football action.
Some position battles of interest.
WR
Hester, Knox,Bennett, Iglesias, Davies, Aromashodu
Hester is what he is a decent WR who'll never be a number 1 should line up in the slot really
Bennett came on well last season after a practically non existant 2008
Knox had a great season for a lower round pick & had more TD's than the above 2 combined. Says a lot about our coaching that he only saw the field due to an injury to Aromashodu.
Davies nothing more than a ST player now
Aromashodu had a great final 4 weeks of the season when he finally got to play. I'm still not convinced by him but willing to give him a shot.
Iglesias played in 1 game & caught no passes but is getting good off season reviews.
Under Martz we'll see more multi reeiver sets & personally I'd like to see Bennett, Aromashodu & Knox start. Hester back to return man & slot in 4 sets
RB
Forte, Taylor, Bell, Wolfe, Unga
Forte & Taylor are guranteed a roster spot & will split carries
The battle for the final 1 maybe 2 spots will be an interesting one. Bell had 1 great run & played OK after that. Sems slow & doesn't offer much more than Forte.
Wolfe has never been used right in Chicago but maybe that will change under an OC that actually has a mind for the game. He's ST play gives him a boost
Unga cost us a 7th rounder next season and could line up at FB or see the PS
LG
Omiyale, Beekman
the only thing I'll say on this is that Beekman has consistently outplayed Omiyale yet Omiyale keeps getting handed the job
nice one flea.
ReplyDeletewhats the thoughts on how Martz will utilise the Tight ends in training camp
Omiyale will be battling Schaeffer for RT. Beekman will battle Asiata for the LG spot if you are to belive the reports from the OTAs. Plus Tice is veryt high on Asiata.
