Hagan kinda lost his footing. Sort of favored one foot and couldn’t get in the air.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 6:00 PM PST up reply actions  

Been noticing that our CBs in general aren't really jumping up there for the ball to contest it.

Even with Syd, he was in the right position but he didn’t really jump and the WR ended up on top of him.

by tjalorak on Dec 27, 2008 6:01 PM PST up reply actions  

Those are hard for DBs

You’re supposed to check the WR’s route and by the time you figure out he’s just going to the back of the end zone, you look up and the ball is caught

I think Hagan was thinking run on that play… then he realized it was a pass and couldn’t find how far his receiver had gone.

It helped that the receiver is 6-4.

Looked like Best was going back, but Nate’s throw was too far to Best’s left; Best’s momentum was carrying him into the wrong direction at that point.

Uh, you don’t blitz on 3rd and long.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 6:14 PM PST up reply actions  

It's been working pretty well on previous possessions.

For a freshman QB who’s starting to gain confidence, do we really want to give him time to find open receivers?

Esp. since we’re playing off of the WRs by about 3-5 feet. With that much room as long as they catch within 3-4 yards of the yellow line, it’s going to be another first down.

by tjalorak on Dec 27, 2008 6:16 PM PST up reply actions  

Bears have been playing zone coverage for years. Usually it minimizes huge breakdowns.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 6:18 PM PST up reply actions  

And considering his deep ball abilities,having an extra secondary man out there really helps.

by BearsNecessity on Dec 27, 2008 6:19 PM PST up reply actions  

I know, I know...

Theoretically it helps (of course, everything run is supposed to be theoretically helpful. ;)
