Profiling Israel Idonije? Now? Really?
Bears DT, Israel Idonije, seen here deeply entrenched in a game of Air Golf (no, it’s very real, and apparently, the “COOLEST NEW SPORT!“), is profiled in today’s issue of the wily Galesburg Register-Mail.
The article dictates *chuckle* that the Iz has been a worthy add-on at the tackle position thus far. Which is fine. I like Idonije. He has two sacks and five batted passes through nine games.
But, in general, the Bears pass rush has been horrific. The D-line has registered only 11.5 sacks total all year. Last week, Titans QB Kerry Collins had more time in the pocket than Jerry Angelo’s wallet. Get it? He’s cheap.
The point is, and trust me, this is going somewhere, is that it’s not the right time to highlight Idonije or any other member of the Bears’ sub-par front four. Call it the equivalent of praising Gov. Sarah Palin for her choice of eyewear while the McCain campaign crumbles.
You think I’m putting to much into this? Try telling that this Sunday to Packers QB Aaron Rodgers. I bet he’ll have all day to listen.
