Apologies and latest thoughts

1st to my blogging fans.....I apologize for having a longer lapse between my entries.  I know, haha, some of you are waiting on the edge of you seat for every word I may write, lol.....yeah sure and now I will get over myself!!  Life has been busy and my store is taking off, so I won't complain about that and thank my lucky stars for it's fortune.  Now back to the Purple Crew;  latest news out of Chicago has some undisclosed (of course!!) Bears players not too happy with the fact of Jay Cutler not only not knowing who Sid Luckman is or was, but in his live press intro, he openly displayed the attitude of "whatever" toward the Bears icon.  Not good when it comes to the respect trait toward those that have come before him in the grand scheme of Bears country.  The reason I put this competitors thought in my Purple Crew speal is because the Bears ARE in our division.  Now, do I think Cutler will be able to impact the Purple's success?  Heck NO......the Bears offensive line isn't anything like what Denver's was or what our's is and with players such as JAllen, Culter will be seeing a lot of turf face to face.  Yes, Cutler is a mobile QB, but some of the DEs he will be facing are just as swift.  It is this bloggers opinion that Cutler will be lucky to get away with his health. 

Now for some Purple chatter.....it is good to see that the Purple Brass are looking at extending AWinfield.  It is a good gesture with his talents and efforts on the field.  There has been talk though of them tryng to address an extenstion for AP this year and quite honestly, I think it is too early for that.  As well, it could be taken as an insult for AP, cuz we all know the money he is going to be worth when his time comes.  He has 3 yrs left on his deal and the Purple does not have the cap space to offer the $100 or so million deal it is going to take.  Therefore, I think they should leave well enough alone on that one.  My next point of discussion is regarding whether JSullivan is going to be able to cut it when it comes to Matty Birk?  My personal take is NO.  Even Matty B had his growing pains when 1st taking over at center when taking over for Jeff Christy back in the day.  Our OLine is stout and for the most part solid.  Sullivan has said MattyB was an exceptional mentor and for his sake, I hope he was and Sullivan soaked up all the knowledge and mentoring he could.  Cuz now it's his show and he will be having to make all the calls for the OLine.  Sullivan, more power to ya and we are all pulling for you to be able to tow the line on this one......

On the TJack versus SRosenfels front; I am just hoping for the best.  JGarcia was recently quoted in a media wrap as saying he wasn't sure what the Purple is thinking, but it's also NOT his problem, so onward and upward on that topic.  Myself, I think the Purple Brass may have jeopardized the '09 season with that move, but I will also hold off to see how things unfold.  I think even Chilly knows this season HAS to end in the playoffs and maybe even past the 1st round for him to keep his job.  I think it also safe to say that it can't come down to the last game of the season, the Purple Crew needs to wrap it up before that for him to keep his job.  Also, if Chilly leaves, then also bye bye to TJack.  In the sense of being positive from pro to pro, I offer good luck wishes to TJack, but damn is the deck stacked against him.

Til next time blogging fans.....later....
