Urlacher is old. They have an average aged defense. Most of their guys are in their mid-late twenties. That's pretty much the average.

The Bears defense was great on 3rd down situations last season. What happened was that the offense could not stay on the field. Defense got tired late in games and that's where we lost most games.

That won't happen with Cutler at QB.

Feel free to post Bears stuff tomorrow in the thread about the Packers player ratings when they're released.

It's pretty natural to get talk about rival opponents in threads about a singular team.

Did anyone notice that the Bears' second best QB is a 45 OVR? LMAO. That'll make you think twice about scrambling with Cutler (who is a decent speed). When's the last time a Bears QB has been moderately fast (besides Kordell)?

Also, I love that they gave Forte a 99 for Stamina as he was a workhorse last year. It's always annoying when you're putting together a nice drive and your RB has to come out for a play or two.

Edit this is in response to fcb's post

I think that is a misconception. If you look at the bears time of possession stats last year, their D really wasn't on the field as much as you would think.

And yeah thats cool to talk about the packers, but all the "all our guys were hurt blah blah" Everyone can say that about everyteam. To this day, I still think that if Cedric Benson didn't get hurt (and fumble the ball in the process) in the superbowl, the bears would have won that game....

a do remember tommie harris still hasnt been able to be healthy n vasher n tillman were both hurt last season
so if u wanna talk about injuries i think the bears had many injuries on D
but i do see the packers were 20th on yards allowed per game and and bears were 21st wow big difference n bears were 16th n points allowed per game n packers were 22nd

so i dont see much difference in the two Ds
but i do know the packers are gonna try the 3-4 this year n it will take them time to get good with it so i dont see there D being that much better next year

Should be an 82. Beekman 75 - Fair Kreutz 87 - about right. 88 Garza 80 - Fair, maybe too high. Shaffer 79 - too high. Harris 92 - maybe too high... 90. Ogunleye 83 - Fair, too high if anything. Brown 78 - bit too low. 80. Briggs 95 - Fair... maybe too high. 93. Urlacher 94 - Fair. Roach 68 - Don't care. Tillman 82 - Fair Vasher 75 - Fair Bullocks 76 - Fair Payne 76 - Fair

I don't want to be a jerk, and I could also be wrong, but I think the word you were looking for was "preface", not "premise".

- Anyways, I think Cutler should be a little higher but P. Rivers is an 88 and he had a better season so it's not too bad.

- I think Forte deserves his good rating, as he was a beast last year.

-Olsen hasn't proven enough to warrant a higher rating but that could definitely change in a hurry this year.

- I also think Hester should be a rated a little higher, but don't forget that he'd probably be an 80 if they hadn't spread out the ratings so much.

- Tommie Harris should be a 90 but I'm not complaining.

- Danieal Manning isn't as fast as he should be but it won't matter much in the game as we will all have Hester on KR/PR....Although Manning can plow through people at top speed unlike Hester.
