Tucker known for getting most out of available talent
MOBILE, Ala. — "Relentless equals high velocity, nonstop." That coaching slogan sure sounds like it could have come out of the Rod Marinelli book of wisdom. But it didn't. It is the motto of the new Bears defensive coordinator, not the old....Tags: Mike Munchak, Barry Alvarez, Lovie Smith, Football, National Football League

For better or worse, coach and GM tied together
Bears general manager Phil Emery and new head coach Marc Trestman celebrate birthdays just a day apart from one another. That's one of the nifty — dare we say synergetic? — connections between the two men. Sadly, they weren't born in late...

Not that Phil Emery cares, but ...
Did Jimmy Johnson tweet anything else today? Hey, don’t laugh. There’s more information about the Bears coaching search coming off a houseboat in Miami than from the offices in Lake Forest. But until we see white smoke coming out of...

Johnson and Marshall incomparable
Forget Calvin Johnson versus Charles Tillman for a minute. Let's pit Calvin Johnson against Brandon Marshall. Viewed strictly on the field, who would you rather have? Start here: Most teams in the NFL probably would love to have either. "Either...

Mannelly in game for long haul
The game against the Lions on Sunday could have been the last one for a Bear who has been around forever and has his name listed prominently in the team record books. But the Bears decided they wanted him back. Whether or not the Bears will take the...

Defense gives fans reason to cheer
Most fans go to Bears summer training camp hoping to be entertained by spectacular offensive plays. Jay Cutler lofts a deep pass to Brandon Marshall, Devin Hester or Earl Bennett and the crowd goes wild. Matt Forte bursts through a hole and races 35...

Cowboys can't stand up to Bears blitz
As a rule, the Bears' defensive scheme may be the most predictable in the NFL. But coordinator Rod Marinelli and the boys stepped out of character a bit Monday. They blitzed on nearly 23 percent of Tony Romo's dropbacks, mostly in the first half. It was...

Bears not shoddy in sack department
Sacks have been the source of much consternation at Halas Hall this season. But they also have been the source of much consternation in the offices of every Bears opponent. It hasn't gotten much airtime, but the Bears can give nearly as good as they...

Bears defensive coordinator isn't one to crow
When the Lions and their fans look at how dominating the Bears defense and its scheme has been, they have to think, "That should have been us." In 2006, Matt Millen hired Rod Marinelli as head coach of the Lions. Then in 2008, the Lions became the...

Cover-2 succeeds because of way Bears coach it
The Cover-2 defense is boring. And it lacks creativity. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that about the two-deep scheme the Bears still lean on in their game plan. Sure, they have become more "multiple" with coordinator Rod Marinelli in...
