Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings laughed when he heard about Detroit Lions vice chairman Bill Ford Jr. referring to the Bears as "thugs." But not because he knew Ford was joking. "What was he watching?" Jennings said in reference to Sunday's 40-32 loss in Motown. "I don't know. Calling us bullies? I don't think anyone in this world would probably agree with that. We're far from it. I wish we were." Don't sell yourself short, Tim. The Bears do steal footballs like bullies steal lunch money. But let's just say this defense could use Nelson Muntz ("The Simpsons") and the O'Doyle family ("Billy Madison") on the defensive line. Every week, we're asking the Bears defense when it's going to pressure the quarterback and how it can better execute the simplest of defensive techniques: the tackle. http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/stor...looks-get-back-basics-shut-new-orleans-saints
Bears MUST start getting more pressure on the QB. It is a huge achillies heel. Although he was a little better, Peppers has been AWOL for the first quarter of the season. Wootton has regressed and McClellin looks lost. Now with Melton gone, the line is quickly becoming a real weakness. Someone better step up against Drew Brees or it's could be a disaster.
