Hester has arrived

Found November 02, 2009 on Bear Essentials:
PLAYERS: Devin Hester,  Larry Fitzgerald,  Jay Cutler
TEAMS: Chicago Bears,  Arizona Cardinals

Chicago_bears_training_f377
Anyone who doesn’t think Devin Hester is a legitimate No. 1 receiver hasn’t been paying attention to the past three games. In that time, Hester has 21 catches, and only the Cardinals’ Larry Fitzgerald has more. Hester’s 21 receptions have produced 265 yards. Maybe even more impressive, in the past two games, Hester has been targeted by Jay Cutler 17 times, and he has 15 catches, meaning that he’s getting open and he’s catching everything close. For the season, Hester has 35 receptions, 10 more than the nearest teammate, Earl Bennett. Hester has 454 receiving yards, 120 more than Bennett, who is second. That puts Hester on pace for 80 catches and 1,038 yards, which look a lot like go-to-guy numbers.

In-season changes to offensive line not an option

BEARS IN BRIEF: O-line protection not much to savor

Via Inside the Bears  |  November 02, 2009
