    you have to figure he comes back to Earth eventually -- he's still just 5-8, after all, and therefore exploitable by taller receivers -- but he's playing terrific football right now.
    Your Chicago Bears: still learning about this newfangled thing called the "forward pass."

    Yes, he has been playing extremely well so far, and I dont see any reason that his height would prevent him from continuing playing at a high level. Peanut is usualy matched up against taller receivers, for obvious reasons. As happy as I am with DB play thus far, I also realize that pressure from the front 7 plays a big role in allowing that to happen.

    Completely agree but I'm enjoying hi play right now. He's been terrific, especially on slants which have traditionally KILLED us. We are definitely doing different things in coverage this year, although I'd argue we started adding wrinkles somewhere around the second Detroit game last year.
    The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

    Nice to see him get the NFL Defensive Player of the Month! I hope he keeps it up. I agree the Bears are playing the slant much better as of late. I'm glad they are tweeking the D some.
