QuoteWashington Redskins outside linebacker Brian Orakpo went down with an injury to his left shoulder late in the first quarter of his team's preseason matchup with the Chicago Bears on Saturday night.
Shortly after Orakpo's injury, safety Brandon Meriweather was helped off the field with a leg injury.
Orakpo tried to tackle Bears wideout Devin Hester after Hester made a catch in the flat. But as Orakpo stretched out his left arm to grab Hester, the receiver spun off Orakpo, stretching his arm backward, and then turned up field. Orakpo fell to the ground and grabbed his left arm. Trainers tended to him before he was helped off the field and taken to the trainers' table behind Washington's bench.
Your dad likes guys.
I'm also hoping that Hester will finally become a productive wide receiver in his fifth season of playing the position, at age 30.

You just said it. 5th year playing the position. Other NFL wideouts have played position for 6-8 years before they even make it to the NFL. It's his time now. If he doesn't do it this year, he never will, and I'll shut up, take my medicine. It'll be fine.
But with P'Nut in the Pro Bowl it's time for a new cause. A new mission. I've got to get Devin the ball more often.

10 total receptions in 3 years of college. (http://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/devin-hester-1.html)
I can't find any high school stats (just this scouting report) (http://recruiting.scout.com/a.z?s=73&p=8&c=1&nid=9079) but little mention of any significant WR experience there.
I don't think he's ever going to be a good NFL WR, or even really a passable one, but it's at least a reasonable point being made here.

Your mission is to get more touches for the 4th receiver? If Hester catches 15 balls this year and takes 2 or 3 of them to the house because he's going to be covered by the modern-day equivalent of John Mangum, I'll be more than satisfied.

I'm fine with the Bears using Hester they way they used him in the last game. Let him rotate with Jeffery between the 20s so you can occasionally go deep to him, then let Jeffery take all the snaps in the red zone where route running is less important and "go up and get the fucking ball" is everything.

That's where I and Mr. Pex disagree most profusely. Hester doesn't seem like he'll get many snaps in the red zone thanks to Jeffery. Those are going to need to be 10 long TDs. Either way, the staff needed a shake up. I found myself agreeing with myself on nearly everything.

Agreed. Hester's TDs will be 40 yards or longer, and it will make me feel good in ways that are uncomfortable to describe. I think 5 long TDs would mean great things for the Bears, but if he gets 10, the 1985 Bears will be looked upon as significant to the city's sports history as the 1981 Sting.

He's on his way.
As long as the three receivers who aren't Marshall combine for 8 balls for 157 yards every week, I'm okay with whoever's getting them. They used everybody properly. Look at Marshall first on every single play and if he's got fewer than four guys on him, throw it to him. If he's got four guys on him, Think about throwing it to him. Then maybe go deep to Devin or Alshon. If it's 3rd down, Earl's going to be open, so don't worry about it.

Haters.
I feel Devin may come up big in this game. Could be the black Jordy Nelson. They roll a safety (Charles Woodson's old ass) over the top of Marshall, Sam Shields has to deal with Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte's there to suck in the linebackers, there's Devin Hester racing past a nickelback.
Just a feeling. A semi-legit one, though. I give it a 40% chance of it possibly happening. Or not.

Sounds good to me. I'm on that bandwagon. Let's give Devin a PR TD, 7 catches for 110 yards yards, including 2 TD catches of 30 yards or more. Add two rushing TDs, a defensive TD, another TD reception by Marshall a FG that's As Good as Gould
TM, and a safety, we're looking at a 54-0 ballgame. I could adjust to that reality. You might want to have a couple paramedics on hand at Apex's birthday bash.

I can dig it. But the only way the Bears toss a shutout in Green Beigh is if Rodgers gets knocked stupid and carted off during the first series. So throw that in as well. Happy Born-On Date to moi.
Week 2 update: 0 catches, 0 yards, 0 TDs, 1 drop.

"It's hard being one of the top electrifying players in the league and you're not able to get your hands on the ball as much as you want," Hester told ESPNChicago.com before Friday's practice.
Your hands would be on the ball a lot more if you actually caught the fucking thing.

Yeah, fuck that noise. You had four fucking years as the featured receiver to do something, Devin. Catch the fucking ball and we'll talk.

Quote"At the same time, I think I do need a fresh start."
Hester has a year left on his contract, but seemed more frustrated with his lack of action on offense. He caught 57 passes in 2009, but just 23 last season.
"Not only this year, but the last couple of years it has been like that," Hester said. "It was really starting to show, why I was frustrated.
"I'm not making any excuses. I know some of the plays I should have made in terms of catching the ball. But I just wasn't feeling it. My mind wasn't there the majority of the time."

Seriously? Is this a prelude to his offering to give back his salary?

Had his mind been there in fucking Minneapolis, the Bears could've had the opportunity to win their first game before getting pantsed by Kaepernick a second time in SF.
Let this guy go not return punts for Philly or something.

So...
Had Hester paid the fuck attention, the Bears might have stopped Adrian Peterson from rushing for a buck-fifty in Week 14, thus retroactively winning Week 1 against the Colts before taking the team time machine back to Week 11 to get depantsed by Colin Kaepernick for a second time in his first career start?
Hestink really
is terrible.

I think he meant the Bears might have gotten a win in the Wild Card round of the playoffs before heading to SF for a little Divisional round dickpunching from the eventual conference champs. As bad as my predictions are, at least I am cosmically wrong before events unfold. Drunk, butthurt and retroactively stupid is no way to go through life.
But I don't know how the seedings would have played out with Bears getting in at 11-5. Unless they ended up in D.C. versus the 'Skins, they'd have been dickpunched in round one too. Yay?

No, no, no. The Seahawks and Redskins were locked in at 5 and 6, respectively. Had the Bears beaten Minnesota in Mpls, they would have been the sixth seed, and then the outcome of Minnesota-Green Bay would have been only to decide if Green Bay would have the week off. Maybe the Packers win that one, forcing a Bears-49ers tilt in the Wild Card round. If not, the Bears would have had to go to Lambeau as the sixth seed. Had they beaten the Pack, they would get to play Atlanta as the lowest-seeded team. Maybe they beat the Falcons, and maybe Seattke beats Colin Kaepernick, so the Bears would then go to Seattle with a lot of Huey-sized ANGER about losing to Russell Wilson at Soldier Field. So they then beat the Seahawks, setting up their triumphant return to the Superdome, where they won just once since Super Bowl XX.
The matchup with the Ravens goes well, as the Harbaugh brothers spend Saturday night drinking and watching their brother-in-law coach his HOOSIERS against Michigan on TV at Pat O'Briens, downing Hurricanes with every turnover, assist, block, point, or syllable uttered by Dick Vitale, culminating with Jim taking his brother John out trolling for hookers in the French Quarter as Jim doesn't have to worry about a football game the next game. Thus no one is there to be sure they do a bed check on the Ravens, so Ray Lewis takes Joe Flacco out killing, they both get arrested, and John Harbaugh tries to coach the Ravens against Lovie Smith's Bears still blowing a .15 during the game before taking a nap during the power outage.
The Bears win 45-11, deliberately kicking a field goal on first down at the Ravens 30, up 42-0 in the second quarter and then sending Jason Campbell to take a knee on every offensive play after that, and then allowing three field goals and taking a safety to the Ravens, thereby not soiling the legacy of DEM EIGHTY-FIVE BEARZ! So with a Super Bowl title, and the genius Lovie Smith coming back for more, and Super Bowl XLVIII being played outdoors in New Jersey (BEARZ WEATHER!!1!!!), the Bears would be prohibitive favorites to win next year, with Lovie likely retiring to a cushy TV job the following year only so SINGLETARY (or maybe RYNO, if he doesn't have an MLB managing job by then) can take over to lead the Bears like only a TRUE CHICAGO GUY CAN!
So, yes, fuck you, Devin Hester. Look at what you did!
