The Chicago Bears! Everything But 'BUTKUS' and 'SWEETNESS'

Having watched the Chicago Bears up till now has been very exciting with the teams new quarterback; Jay Cutler. The Bears look to improve there record this Sunday (October 18th 2009)when they play against the Atlanta Falcons, in Atlanta. I think that this week the Bears have a great chance of winning. However; I would like to say that I think our home town Chicago Bears need to step it up as a team. The team needs to learn how to start playing with "a little Butkus" in them. I have yet to see a big hit from either sides of the ball.
The Bears defense needs to strat hitting oppenents with authority as Dick Butkus did throughout his eight year career. Remind the offense that they are playing the Chicago Bears and that they are about to go to war. The defense needs to start making other teams afarid of playing them, just as Butkus did. Can you imagine if every defensive player played like Butkus? The organization would have to give them a raise just so they could pay all the fines. There would be no NFL team that would want to play the Bears.



The offense on the other hand nees to start playing with "a little Sweetness" in them. Chicago has just picked up one of the best quarterbacks in the league today. They need to start helping him out if they expect to keep winning. They need to play with the mentality of Walter Payton. The Chicago Bears have always been known as a "power house." I think that the bears need to start running the ball a lot more in order for the team to get back to that.
In order to do that the running backs start running hard and hitting the hole with a some authority. I feel that our running backs have been hitting the holes as if they were afraid of some contact. It is time to man up and start playing hard. Payton played everygame with the mentality that he was going to run over every defender.
I feel that if our running backs start hitting the holes hard and wanting to hit somebody that defenses will start packing in the middle. This will open oppurtunity for Jay Cutler to start showing off his arm.
Just because these legends are no longer playing, does not mean that the team cannot contiue on playing in their footsteps. I think once the Chicago Bears bring back the mentality of these legends, then, and only then will the Chicago Bears win the Super Bowl.
