Ghost of Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 He talks about our blitzes like you CAN make big plays off of them. Thing is--did anyone(other than Green Bay, and that was cuz Taylor was out) have big passing plays off us last year that had to do with blitz pickup? Sure, Pinkston got his usual long catches, but was any of that blitz related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntotoro Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Sure, Pinkston got his usual long catches, but was any of that blitz related? Smoot fell down on one of those plays. Can't remember what happened on the others or even how many big gains he had against us last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 This is going to look like the freakin' Alamo when the Bears offense is on the field versus our defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeythetapeworm Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 After reading that article, I'm starting to feel kind of giddy about this game. The D should plant Orton into the ground, and I suspect our running game will make quite a statement as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollywood2k3 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 He has confidence, even if it's misplaced and foolish. He's going to be in for a long day next Sunday.Yeah. That worked well for Steve Spurrier against good Defense... :laugh: Add a rookie QB and he's going to realize he's in a little over his head facing our D. EXACTLY!!! He's gonna find out REAL quick that this is the NFL and the things he's gonna see and the pain he's gonna feel is gonna be VERY real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adarsh1 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I think we'll win, but I like this Orton. He seems real confident and that's good for a rookie QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfara Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I have liked Orton a lot in the past but he seems really inconsistent...just look at last yr, two months into the season he was the leader for the heisman and Purdue fell off the map and he looked mediocre the rest of the yr...the one thing i think he has going for him is the success of Drew Brees who was a similar QB at Purdue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Vet Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 "Raucous" FedEx Field? Let's hope so! That is funny - I thought the same thing.....FEF only gets raucous when people yell at you to sit down and stop cheering....... __________ But on a positive note....imagine this: Lavar comes from the left on a blitz. ST comes from the right on a blitz. They get to Orton at exactly the same time. They will hit Orton so hard he will be compressed into a: Remember....second only to Oxygen - the human body is made up of huge amounts of Carbon.

Warhead36 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 The Bears sure are trying hard to put up locker room bulletin board motivational stuff for us. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cou-!@#$DALLAS-gh Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 What the !@#$ is wrong with this kid? I guess being in that Purdue offense means he has the answer to what no other NFL team could come up with last season. He wont be singing the same tune when he gets rocked my Lavar sunday. Thats for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riggo44miami Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 This, to me, is the best part: “The preseason games he showed a lot of poise and he played well and he picked up a lot of different blitzes and saw a lot different coverages, and he did a great job with it,”. Yep, every team shows every blitz package, and coverage schemes in preseason games. Truely, he has no idea what he is getting ready to face. I am almost concerned for his health. Almost....... :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarpon75 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 The Bears sure are trying hard to put up locker room bulletin board motivational stuff for us. Thanks guys. I would like to see Adam Schein's and John Riggins'quote from todays show posted on the bulletin board.They basically called the Bear's defense as being =to ours.They gave their starting recievers the edge, a slight edge to our o-line, and basically called Orton and Ramsey even.Schein said he smelled an upset.Schein said,he couldn't believe the Skins were 6 and a half point favorite.I know it is not the same as the other team saying it but it should still be pretty motivational.

NoCalMike Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I know it is encouraging for a young QB to be confident, but this guy is talking like he has already seen everything the NFL has to offer when it comes to defense and blitzing.......Somehow I think he will be thinking different on Sunday......(Yes, THIS SUNDAY WHOOOOOOOOOO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 While college success doesn't necessarily translate to the NFL, Orton has to show confidence in himself and his teammates if he is going to be the leader of his team. I don't see his statements as brash at all. Every one of Purdue's regular season losses was by 3 points or less and the loss to Andrew Walter and Arizona St. in the Sun Bowl was by 4 points. The kid had a great senior season at Purdue and faced the best the Big 10 had to offer in some hostile venues during his junior and senior seasons. Last year he was blitzed like crazy but was still successful. New Offensive Coordinator Ron Turner faced Orton while he was the Head Coach at Illinois and knows Orton's strengths and weaknesses. This is a plus for the Bears and is probably why Orton was successful during the preseason and is now the starter. He also operates well out of the shotgun so expect to see it quite a bit from the Bears. The key for the Skins will be to disguise blitzes and coverages and force him to make changes and audibles at the line. It will be important to take away his hot reads and slant lanes and make him hold the ball longer than he wants to. Tight coverage will help that because his receivers were usually wide open in college. Our D will need to get to him early and rattle him a little bit because if he gets into a rhythm he could be dangerous. I expect a lot closer game than many on the board because the Bears will be conservative and throw a lot of short passes to negate the blitz. Effective tackling by our D will be important. Since Chicago will be running a modified WCO, YAC will be a killer if we don't tackle. The Bears will make every effort to control time of possession as will Gibbs. I'm thinking 17 points will win this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parlett316 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 I just called my Cowboys friend and told him Bears fans were saying they are going to put up 38 points against the Skins. He said, "The Bears aren't going to put up 38 points in the first 4 games!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinthePRF Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 A detailed view of Orton's thought process on the first 3rd down play from the line of scrimmage: Thought one: "Third and six, not too bad." Thought two: "Ha, Arrington stepping up to blitz, just as I predicted!" Thought three: "He looks a lot bigger than he does on tv." Thought four: "Safety cheating over to Muhammed? Damn, who else is out here with me?" Thought five: "Note to self, remove crap from underwear at halftime." Thought six: "No brain, I'm not audibling to a run." Thought seven: "My cadence is a little raspy, note to self, water soothes a dry throat." Thought eight: "Wait, where is the left corner? Where did the MLB go? Do they have to many men on the field?" Thought nine(snap): (Blank) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
God Help Me, I'm in Texas Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 “I’m not going to be surprised by any blitzes or really anything they throw at us so it’s just getting the ball out of my hands and getting it to good players who can make plays and try to score a lot of touchdowns,” he said. ok, rook.

BlueTalon Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Hey, good luck this weekend, guys! I'm hoping you win (I picked the Redskins to win in the Survivor pool I'm in.)
