Chicago Bear’s Josh
Beekman to Raise
Awareness in the
fight against Drunk
Driving at NFL
Games. |
| |
Today Chicago Bears
Left Guard Josh
Beekman announced a
project to raise
awareness
surrounding the
ever-increasing
problem of drunk
driving at and
around NFL stadiums.
“I’m 100% for
tailgating and the
NFL experience with
family, friends and
loved ones. I
encourage fans
across the United
States to enjoy the
season and support
their favorite team
but hope this
campaign will help
remind fans to
designate before
they drink.”
With pre-game
tailgating,
festivities and
cookouts during the
NFL season drunk
driving is a common
occurrence at
stadiums across the
United States. It
has been widely
reported that for
the 2009 NFL season
the league has
recommended that the
32 teams limit
tailgating to 3.5
hours before games,
and also do a better
job of monitoring
and enforcing rules
against excessive
alcohol consumption
in stadium parking
areas. |

Bears Versus
Seahawks Film
Review: Offense |
| |
Continuing with our
long winded weekly
film review wrap ups
we are going to
start by analyzing
the Bears' offense
this week. Led by
Jay Cutler and
getting help from
receivers Devin
Hester and Earl
Bennett the Bears
were able to drive
down the field
pretty consistently
and come away with a
win.
Off the top of our
heads though it's
apparent that Matt
Forte is still
struggling, although
through no fault of
his own. Lay the
blame squarely at
the feet of Frank
Omiyale and his
missed blocks or
inability to block
anyone period.
I'm going to key in
on Omiyale and count
how many times a
block is missed on
his side of the
field or as a result
of him. Every bit of
failure in this
running game seems
to be a direct
result of his play.
The O-Line is only
as good as it's
weakest link and
right now Omiyale is
the weakest on an
extremely high
level. |

Brown "should be
good to go" to face
Seahawks Sunday |
| |
LAKE FOREST, Ill. –
Alex Brown’s
immediate future
looked bleak when he
was helped off the
field by two
teammates late in
Sunday’s win over
the Pittsburgh
Steelers after
spraining his ankle.
Veteran defensive
end Alex Brown ranks
sixth in Bears
history with 39.5
career sacks.
But a day later,
coach Lovie Smith
said that the
defensive end
“should be good to
go” Sunday when the
Bears (1-1) visit
the Seattle Seahawks
(1-1) at Qwest
Field.
Brown was injured
with 4:11 left in
the fourth quarter
when he was twisted
to the ground by
Steelers left guard
Chris Kemoeatu while
rushing the passer.
The eighth-year pro
had one of the best
games of his career,
registering two
sacks and two
tackles-for-loss
while also
pressuring Ben
Roethlisberger into
throwing an errant
pass that was
intercepted by
Charles Tillman. |

Just rolled in from
Green Bay and want
to get some reaction
to the wild
season-opening loss
up. I won't call it
rapid reaction
because nothing
after the three-plus
hour commute back
from Lambeau Field
is going to be
rapid, but hopefully
it will make a
little sense. We can
continue the
discussion through
the day. For
starters, Jay Cutler
Twittered about two
hours ago, maybe
when I was winding
my way through
Sheboygan, "Rough
start to 2009
season. 15 games
left, plenty of time
left. We will get
better, I promise
you that." Sounds
just about like what
he said in his press
conference
afterward, verbatim.
On to our 10 points
before the head
meets the pillow:
1. Cutler couldn't
have been much
worse. The guy who
drew rave reviews in
preseason for making
plays on the run and
being accurate when
he was on the move
was, well, terrible.
As veteran Packers
reporter Tom
Silverstein said
after the game,
"Brett Favre was
back.'' He made
those types of
interceptions. Just
didn't look to play
with much poise,
especially when the
game was so close.
It's one thing to
make bad decisions
trailing big. The
Bears were never
trailing big. |
