Jerry Angelo is a Genius

Honestly, the Bears have the most fearsome defense in the National Football League last year, yet Angelo drafts defensive players in the first five rounds of the draft. Some fans were not happy with this aproach, thinking Angelo missed out on opportunities to draft a tight end, or possibly a receiver. Instead Angelo drafted two defensive backs with his first two picks and then, even more inexplicably he drafted two defensive linemen in the 3rd and 5th rounds--this with the knowledge that D-Line was probably the Bears deepest position.

Daniel Manning, the safety out of Abiliene Christian immediately became the starter and Mark Anderson, slyly selected in the 5th round somehow leads the team in sacks and is a half a sack off the league lead.

On another note, Rex Grossman is sickening. The touchdown pass to Rashied Davis was one of the most unbelievable passes I have ever witnessed live. If you have a chance to see a replay of this on Primetime tonight or elsewhere please, take another long look at this pass. Grossman not only is throwing off his back foot, but he is throwing the ball while backpedeling, 30 yards down the field and has to fit it into a window about three feet wide between two defenders. Every time I see this pass it boggles my mind.

Chew on this stat: Rex Grossman has only appeared in 13 games in his career so far. Thirteen. Three less than an entire season. He is playing this weel and does not even have a full season under his belt, Sexy Rexy is going to get better and that is scary for opponents right now.
