Bears Oompa Loompa play

[blueline]

According to Trey Burton the play, when originally put into the playbook , called for Burton to make the throw. He told Nagy it made him too nervous and was keeping him up at night.

 

[Valuist]

Took some balls to have a 5'6" guy throwing the ball on that 4th down play. Cohen can do a lot, but probably best if he doesn't throw any more passes this year.

Oompa Loompa play?

The Bears are having fun.

The handicapping tip: Find professional teams with a college spirit and college teams with a professional attitude.

 

[blueline]

A trick play they ran earlier in the season was named Willy Wonka play

 

[blueline]

Nagy has said giving plays 2 word names helps players remember them

 

[John Kelly]

Nagy's no dummy but the players are sometimes challenged.

They also can’t convert short yardage without a gimmick. Akim Hicks scores the 1-yard TD earlier.

I was watching red zone uesterday

A lot of unusual plays


The Cohen gimmick, old dirty bastard throwing a TD, bears running the fridge, and I saw an offensive lineman catch a TD in a different game

Oh and onside kick was actually recovered

 

[John Kelly]

Onside kicks this season were 3-for-38 before the Bears pulled it off yesterday.

A gorgeous bounce and clean recovery for the Bears.

 

[SlipperyPete]

They need to come up with different methods for onsides recovery.

The current rules make them very difficult.

How about drop kicking the ball high into the air, make sure its shorts. And the first wave of the kicking team should go scorched earth on the receiving team.

But then again if it would work, they would make it illegal for being too violent.

NFL these days...........

 

[John Kelly]

I love the way SlipperyPete thinks.

I like the one-man onsides kick.

Kicker kicks it and recovers it.

He can practice all day by himself.

What else do kickers do?

 

[SlipperyPete]

yes it should be the kicker that tries to recover it.

Just roll it forward slowly or pick a direction( seeing how the defense lines up)

If its deemed too dangerous on the kicker, have a position guy practice it

 

[SlipperyPete]

Just think about how hard trying to recover fumbles are. It would pretty much be the same thing

The new rules make it all but impossible to recover them. Teams must line up 4 min on each side of the K now, no running starts either. Now the K tapping it exactly 10 yards is the best, followed by a pooch K just over the front line and make someone not used to handling the ball make a play.

 

[yisman]

yes, after the new absurd rules were implemented, the recovery rate dropped significantly

Play against Rams called Santa's Sleigh

 

[John Kelly]

Nagy's fabulous.

He said in the preseason the Bears have more than 1,000 plays.

Outfoxed Sean McVay tonight and yet McVay is getting all the pub.

 

[blueline]

Santa's Sleigh was not practiced until 2 days before the game.

 

[John Kelly]

Teams that play with great joy cover pointspreads.

The Bears this season are 9-4 straight-up and 9-4 against the spread.

some things starting to bubble up regarding Burton's injury.....was it psychological...apparently people inside the team are really at a loss for an explanation for a guy whp practiced all week and was fine....was supposed to be a key cog in the offense against a team that plays a lot of zone
