Laundry List of Mediocracy: Stuff Since the Bears Super Bowl

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 17:09:57 -0500

When a season opens up with as many high expectations as the Bears did, it's not hard to start the finger-pointing game when things go wrong. We have all taken the time to try and pin-point things, but that task can be a bit overwhelming. Enter Bears writer Jeff Dickerson: (an excerpt): Football is the ultimate team game. You win as an organization, you lose as an organization. Instead of simply blaming one person (Ron Turner) for the Bears being 20-22 since the Sup...

Reasons why the Bears are mediocre

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 10:59:07 -0500

CHICAGO -- Football is the ultimate team game. You win as an organization, you lose as an organization. Instead of simply blaming one person (Ron Turner) for the Bears being 20-22 since the Super Bowl, take a step back and look at the big picture: It's been a collective effort, from the front office down to the players. Nobody should be immune from criticism, because everybody played a part in this mess. Here's a list of why the Bears have been a mediocre team going on three se...

Cardinals at Bears 2009

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 06:14:33 -0500

Is it me, or does it seem that Tribune writer Dan Pompei works for the Bears’ PR staff? Recently Pompei wrote an article defending Ron Turner. And today he writes that cornerback Nathan Vasher is “born again at safety”, even though the player has been at the new position for a grand total of nine [...]

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:00:18 -0500

Clearly, the most rewarding part of penning a post entitled “The Rise And Fall Of Nate Vasher” would be seeing resiliency rewarded. And with that: just when you thought it was safe to write off Vasher for good … yes! yes! … well, he doesn’t suck as a free safety. No, no, that’s a really [...]

Getting it done

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:19:09 -0500

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- We had our first glimpse of Nathan Vasher lining up at free safety in the nickel package in Cincinnati. Judging by comments made by Lovie Smith earlier in the week, Vasher may again be called upon to play some center field Sunday against Cleveland. "It's different, I wouldn't say easier," Vasher said. "I think physically it's a little less demanding. [It's new seeing] the way routes unfold, the way the quarterback is able to manipulate the s...

Nathan Vasher's Job Officially in Flux

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 09:42:29 -0500

We've been talking about it for years now. We need to replace Nathan Vasher as our #2 corner back, but the Bears have never acted on it. We thought in the beginning of the off season that this would be the year with Corey Graham showing some good skills last year, but do to concerns elsewhere he was moved to safety, only to see him come back to corner too late to make a move to dethrone Vasher. Then Zackary Bowman stepped up and seemed a likely candidate until ...

The Rise And Fall Of Nathan Vasher

Fri, 21 Aug 2009 20:00:53 -0500

Five years ago, Nathan Vasher’s career with the Chicago Bears seemed bright and unbounded. He was a recent fourth-round draft pick, many considered him a steal, and even more were infatuated with the video making rounds on YouTube featuring him blowing up an oblivious Carlos Francis. So, how does it get to the point where [...]

Zack Bowman Will Start At Cornerback

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 17:00:59 -0500

It’s a road bump for the resurgence of Nathan Vasher, but in a telling sign of the confidence Zack Bowman has earned from coaches, he will start at right cornerback upon his return from a pulled hamstring. By all accounts, Bowman has been all over the field this summer, showing an ability to close on the [...]

Drew Rosenhaus Tweet Assumes To Ignite Boldin Trade Rumors All Over Again

Sat, 09 May 2009 19:36:48 -0500

Drew Rosenhaus’ twitter account is slowly becoming one of my favorites to follow–until it becomes my least favorite to follow. You have to admire someone, even as unabashed as Drew, who continues to find new, somewhat-entertaining vehicles for promoting his clients. Yesterday, fit somewhere in Rosenhaus’ regular tri-hourly updates, was a little blurb regarding the expected whereabouts of Anquan Boldin in 2009.

Texas legend Noble Doss passed away Sunday night at the age of 88. Doss, who played for the Longhorns from 1939 through 1941, still holds two school interception records including his career mark of 17 which Nathan Vasher tied in 2003. Bill Little has a nice write-up on Doss and watch a ...
