Hester is getting Offensive
The Bears announced that Devin Hester is moving to offense, starting with mini-camp this weekend. Hester is just a tremendous talent, a game-breaker in the truest form; but nobody's going to miss his Cornerbacking skills. The Bears are going to start by lining him up in the slot, and maybe work him into the backfield on occasion. Whatever. Give him 5-7 extra touches a game and you're looking at another six or eight touchdowns in 2007. Just tell him right or left and watch him fly!
In other Bears news, Garrett Wolfe is the first NFL rookie to sign a contract. I wonder how he's going to fit into the Bears offense with Hester. Logically, you'd try to avoid having the two little guys on the field at the same time. But think of this for a minute... Wolfe goes right, Hester goes left, Olsen shoots up the middle. Who's the linebacker going to cover? Any one of those guys can take it to the house. And I think Grossman just soiled himself.
Finally, lock up your daughters and hide your guns because Tank is outta jail! Now he has to face the wrath of Goodell. The new commish hasn't exactly been a pushover with Pacman getting bumped for a season and Chris Henry losing out on 8 games, and neither of those guys were ever convicted. Tank's rap sheet isn't nearly as long as those two guys, though, so look for him to end up with 4-8 games.
How many days till Training Camp? Bear down.
