Time to rain on the parade. Tucker is still coordinating this defense!!

If he's playing 75% of the snaps anyways, would it make sense NOT to play him on the first play of the game just to fulfill your self-imposed "pass-rush specialist" nomenclature? Is the 2014 Bears defense so awesome that Jared Allen cannot even crack the starting line-up?

Jared Allen INSTANTLY comes in as the best DE on the team. I don't know where Remy is going with this one...

Hopefully Minnesota counters and re-signs J'Marcus Webb.

I still have high hopes for Bass. Thought he showed some promise last year.

Me too but this move allows Bass time to grow some more.

Wtf they should have used that money to re-sign McGowan.

LOLQUE?

I had just told Des that he was first for the fire and then saw Littlefinger's smug bastard face...

Just breathe n let love in.

Not trying to hate on you but it is getting annoying. All the signs were there for this signing to happen so it really didn't take much to put 2 and 2 together and see that there was a really good chance that we'd be signing Allen.

NYG had no need for a pass rusher when they picked up JPP, but he was the BPA on their board and they pulled trigger. I'd say that kinda worked out for them, IMO.

Pass rush is the key people and you can never have too much talent on the Dline, IMO.

Absolutely. That D-Line is the real reason they won the Super Bowl.

I think Houston is an impact player too. Just more against the run. Love both of these signings.

A buddy of mine who is a life long Raiders fan had this to say about Houston...

"Most Raider's fans feel that Houston's "success" agains the rush was a product of them having pretty good DT's that really clogged the middle. Houston was much more effective against the pass than he was against the rush".

Take it for what it's worth... it was a different system that he will be in here...

So it's looking like 4 Years for 32 mil with 15.5 guaranteed. Contract can be voided after 3 years at 24 mil

Cool beans.

Does the fact that Houston and Izzy will probably see time inside make the secondary a bigger need than DT?

I think Allen's signing has increased the chances we go safety or CB in round 1.

Was that mentioned already? Did not read.

Sure it increases the chance but there is the inevitable fact that were still going to have to replace Izzy and Allen in the near future and were still thin at DT so d-linemen will have to get drafted regardless.

Welcome to Bears football, where the draft never works out so we have to pickup everyone in free agency.

Yes, and this has never been a winning formula in the NFL.

 

[Monsieur Tirets]

I heard that the guaranteed portion was to be paid out over the first two years. Is that correct? If so how does that work? Is the third year entirely incentive based if he's on the roster? And what if he's not?

The media gloated over the Peppers signing with GB and Denver signing Ware.

Allen had more sacks than both of those players on the worst team talent-wise and he also hasn't missed a game since 2007. I also believe he's younger than both Peppers and Ware.

I hate the "media hatez da bearz" thing but in this case it's pretty acurate. Was stuck in trafic for an hour this morning and on Sirius NFL they spent the whole fucking time talking about goalpost height and how ST rules changes are ruining football.
