He is already the greatest kick/punt returner to ever play the game, but the one thing that is most disappointing about the Devin Hester saga is that thanks to a franchise incapable of finding a true number one wide receiver, us fans will forever be jipped of more moments like this (Warning: loud). (more…)
It appears that his grossly increased role on offense wasn’t what thwarted Devin Hester’s kick returning prowess last season after all. No, according to Bears special teams coach Dave Toub, it was just that the special teams were young and bad. Oh…
The good news is that because of an improved, more experienced special teams, Toub fully expects Hester to revert to his old form in 2009, even if it is only on punt returns (Danieal Manning is expected to see work on kickoffs). If Toub is right, you should expect more videos like this.
I bet if the Bears knew their No. 1 receiver was off flying in crazy, acrobatic death machines, they might shit their cheap pants.
Well, actually, they do know, but — sarcasm alert – it isn’t worth the headache trying to save your only proven wideout from certain death.
The NFL has seen it’s share of players in legal trouble, so take comfort that at least one player — Devin Hester — would see the grass is greener on the other side. So much so, he’s lending his name to the fight against…divorce and name change?
No, not really. Actually, Hester and a slew of other famous athletes, including Orioles’ great Brooks Robinson, Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, and Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett, have lent their already-stuffed pockets to a new form of flexible advertising. (more…)
First, this is so late it is nearly irrelevant. HA! I said nearly…
Who knew the Bears had much of a passing game? Alright. So the question may be better phrased, “Who knew the Lions secondary was that mediocre?”
Kyle Orton looked like the bearded hero we always hoped he could become. He passed for 334 yards and unlike usual, not all passes were two-yard screens to Jason McKie.
Bears receivers combined for 13 catches with Devin Hester (five rec., 66 yards, 1 TD) and Rashied Davis (6 rec., 97 yards) leading the sudden breakout.
The defense was again awesome holding Detroit’s lame-duck offense to 185 total yards, the unit’s lowest amount yielded since October 2006.
