Opinion: Chicago Bears Defensive Line Change Name To Rush Men Under Rod Marinelli

16 Jul 2009 11:13:50 PDT

Written by Andrew Maisonneuve
The 2009 Chicago Bears defense line will get back to form and dominate in the NFL. If the Bears defensive line unit can stay healthy, which is extremely important, I believe that they will step up greatly improve their pass rush with coach Rod Marinelli at the wheel.

Written by Roman Modrowski
I don't think there is a Bears fan alive who wishes Cedric Benson were still the running back here instead of Matt Forte. He underachieved on the field and alienated a fan base off the field. But still, I think Benson has a point when he says he wasn't treated entirely fairly in Chicago.
