Santonio Holmes is a Bear ... https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter There is no way in hell the Jets were going to keep him, but I think he can still be an effective player in the league. Makes that Monday night game that much more intense. Thoughts ....
Holmes will be a 3rd receiver playing along side two outstanding receivers. This allows him to play within himself and he doesn't have to be the guy anymore. Good pick up by the Bears.
Good for him. Hope he does well except when he's playing the Jets. I think he'll do well and Cutler will keep him in his place. _
Interesting considering he had a problem with not getting the ball enough here to try to get another big payday. He can't amass more than 35-40 catches between Bennett, Marshall & Jeffery. Tough to get paid with weak numbers
If the Bears run D wasn't so shitty we'd be screwed for that game. We'd need to put at least 30 points up to win with the offense they've got. Luckily, they were by far the worst run defense last year and with the ground game we've got we should be able to not only advance the ball, but win the TOP battle and keep the ball out of Cutler's hands with all those weapons. Ivory and Johnson need to be up for that one.
All Wilson needs to do is say "Why aren't they giving you the ball more?". After that, the Bears offense will be in chaos and Holmes will be benched.
Are you talking about the ground game that couldn't open up holes against the Colt's 2nd stringers? The Oline needs to play a lot better against Cinci before I am willing to believe the run game will be decent this year.
