Da Bears - The Trumaine Event

A major reason why we got satellite was so that I could see the Bears games without static. Since we got the DVR option, I've been recording the games and watching them (with no commercials or timeout delays which is brilliant) to try to glean some positives.

As you may have deciphered from the title of the post, this week's standout player (IMHO) was Trumaine McBride. He's filling in for Nathan Vasher who ripped his groin a few weeks back. He wrapped a receiver and knocked a pass down on one play, got in on some solid tackles, then tipped a pass in the end zone away from the receiver and into the hands of D. Manning to seal the game.

I think Charles Tillman is my favorite current Bear. He's really good at his position, he's pretty funny in interviews, and, according to Waddle and Silvy (AM 1000 radio hosts), he's the best ball puncher in the league. After P-Nut, there's not a lot of other positives. Trumaine is making a case.
