The Chicago Bears
By virtually all measurements, the Chicago Bears should be better in 2011. They enter the season with fresh playoff experience. Their once-hot-seated leader, Lovie Smith, is now one of the five highest paid coaches in the game after signing a contract extension that reportedly pays him in the neighborhood of $6 million annually through 2013. The Bears offense is better acclimated to Mike Martz’s system and has three new key contributors in wide receiver Roy Williams, running back Marion Barber and first-round rookie right tackle Gabe Carimi. And the defense is the same defense that ranked fourth in points allowed last season. |
