Offensive Line Not Playing Well...Get Rid Of A Defensive Lineman...Hmmm
So where do we start? Sunday night, the New York Giants hosted the Chicago Bears and it was probably one of the ugliest games in a long time. The first half alone the Bears gave up 9 sacks, and got their QB, Jay Cutler, knocked out of the game. He was apparently diagnosed with a concussion, but let's not get it twisted. We all know that Cutler was getting his brains beat in and we could probably say the coaches felt it not the right move to insert him back into the game. So we move on to the second half, and here comes Todd Collins, and there goes Todd Collins. He was then knocked out of the game not before he threw his first interception since 1997. So it's obvious that the O line is, in the words of former Bears receiver Tom Waddle, hot garbage! This is something that needs to be addressed, and after coach Lovie Smith showed that he is no longer afraid to bench players who are not performing up to par, you would think this would be addressed. It wasn't, and instead, the Bears decided to get rid of a Defensive lineman, Mark Anderson, who in his rookie season recorded 12.0 sacks, and has only had 9.5 since then (4 years later). Ok, so I can see why you would release Anderson, but at this point in time, you need an O lineman, why would you pick up another defensive lineman in Charles Grant who was last playing in the UFL for just a short stint. This problem with the offensive line needs to be rectified if Jay Cutler wants to see the end of the season. He will not be playing this upcoming Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, Todd Collins will be taking the reigns.
