im sure you have your reasons for hating turner, and he may indeed be worthy of being fired. but blaming him for the lack of running success is stupid; the bears OL is really really really really really really really bad
This is pretty much true. Although the lack of understanding what the O-line is good at and what they suck at is the play callers responsibility. Kruetz has been horrible all year, but at least half of Forte's carries rely on him getting a good block. Early in the year Omiyale was getting blown up on most runplays, but almost all of the runs were going to the left.
The Bears o-line needs alot. Still waiting to move Williams over to LT and Omiyale over to RT just to evaluate what they need and maybe improve, but why not just keep talking about how every game is a must win and how Orlando Pace is an all time great.
Also I'm pretty sure I'm going to spend all of next year rooting for the Bears fail to ensure that Lovie and Angelo are gone.
I can't wait for the yearly well we are banged up, but won't use that as an excuse. We will just keep drafting undersized guys in the fifth round and then bemoan about how unlucky we are they can't stay healthy.
