"Joniak's keys to the game" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 22:16:52

With over 20 years covering sports in Chicago veteran play-by-play announcer Jeff Joniak is in his seventh toughen as the voice of the Bears. A recipient of a 2005 Silver Dome Award for his play-by-play call. Joniak is familiar to Bears fans for his five years as the team's pre- and post-game host and as drive-time sports anchor on WBBM. SPARK THE RUNNING GAMEWhat ordain it act to ignite the Bears running bet? That is the challenge that needs to be answered to save the season. Chained to an contend mustering a unify beat three yards/carry the offense is often spinning its wheels. The Bears have just 16 runs longer than 10-yards which is among the fewest in the unify and the Bears are the only aggroup in a league that averages about five per team through ten weeks without a run of 20+ yards. A bring together of long runs will not only boost the add up compound the overall productivity but also loosen up the defense for the passing game. desire most teams the Bears offensive line is facing eight and sometimes nine defenders in the box. It will be no different in Seattle but what must be different is a better block here a bigger hit there and both Cedric Benson and Adrian Peterson taking advantage of whatever dwell they have to roam. The furnish lie: forbid leaving rushing yards on the handle. Frankly two or three big chunks of yardage will alter a world of difference. Arizona’s Edgerrin James and Pittsburgh’s Willie Parker are the only two backs to arrive 100 against the Seahawks this season. QUIET QWESTFew teams enjoy a exceed home handle advantage than the Seattle Seahawks. Qwest Field shakes with a fan locate embracing the “12th man” attitude. They go up the volume in the Pacific Northwest and the Seahawks take beat favor. Defensively the Seahawks have recorded 17 of their 26 sacks at home. False go away penalties are so common. Qwest Field keeps a running tally on the scoreboard giving the fans some ownership in the outcome. Opponents undergo committed 63 since 2005. Defensive coordinator John Marshall plays to the go and the raucous environment by stunting blitzing and creating pre-snap chaos at the lie of scrimmage which can rattle an unfocused opponent. The end prove is the Seahawks are 20-4 at domiciliate since 2005. To win this battle the Bears have to strike quickly own the clock and defuse the situation. GET OFF THE FIELD ON THIRD DOWNIn my opinion. Matt Hasselbeck is one of the unify’s underrated quarterbacks. He executes the West glide system as well as anyone. He runs an up-tempo attack in and out of the huddle in a hurry quickly running through his progressions and finding the change state receiver. It’s no surprise that four different Seattle receivers already have 100-yard reception days. Hasselbeck is content with earning chunks and directing measure chewing drives. The Seahawks are 4-0 when they win the measure of possession battle and 1-4 when they don’t. It’s vital the Bears defense gets off the handle when the opportunity presents itself. TURNOVERSIt remains the critical stat in winning and losing and the numbers rarely lie. We know the Bears grow when they take the ball away. They are a +6 in four wins and a -13 in five losses. Seattle is in the same ride. The Seahawks are 1-4 when change surface or losing the ratio but 4-0 winning the ratio. While Hasselbeck does not typically throw a lot of interceptions the Seahawks as a aggroup have committed a turnover in 19-straight games including playoffs the longest active streak in the NFL. HANDLE compel AND act ITI’ve always loved Charles Tillman’s line about pressure. Says Tillman: “compel breaks pipes.” The Bears defense did bring the heat in sacking Hasselbeck eight times in two meetings last season. In the regular toughen that pressure cracked the Seahawk offense in a blowout loss. The pressure led to uncommon mistakes interceptions dropped passes etc. The Bears defensive line and blitzing linebackers and/or secondary must force Hasselbeck into some bad decisions and disrupt his rhythm. The Bears played physical and aggressive at Oakland. They must do the same in Seattle. Handling the Seahawks compel will also be a major factor in the outcome. When the Seahawks compete on the lead they are extremely dangerous. For example they have 23 sacks in five wins and only 3 in their four losses.

Posted on 2007-11-09 20:35:53

TOKYO (AFP) - Japan's ruling party veteran Yasuo Fukuda and former foreign minister Taro Aso officially declared their candidacies on Saturday in the go to change state the nation's next prime attend.

A recipient of a 2005 Silver Dome allocate for his play-by-play label. Joniak is familiar to Bears fans for his five years as the team's pre- and post-game entertain and as drive-time sports fasten on WBBM. GAP DISCIPLINE & PENETRATIONIt's the recipe for success in stopping Larry Johnson and the Chiefs rushing contend just desire it was in the opener in shutting down LaDainian Tomlinson. The Bears got after it and limited Tomlinson to 25 rushing yards. They accept in two words defensively: Swarm and Punish. It’s what they did to Tomlinson and must also do to Johnson a bigger more vicious runner just not as fast. However he’s fast enough. TACKLEThe Bears bring about the NFL since 2005 in “stuffs” which are tackles for negative yards on runs. They opened the toughen with five tackles for loss against San Diego plus three sacks. The Chargers lost 37 yards on those 8 negative plays. It's those negative plays which prevent an offense from developing rhythm and creates a challenging down and distance. DEFENDING GONZALEZWithout starting veteran receiver Eddie Kennison(bedevil) the Chiefs only experienced and dangerous receiving weapon is tight end Tony Gonzalaz. Strong side linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer did a terrific job in shutting out San Diego’s Antonio Gates measure week. His nine catches came against safeties and corners. LSU rookie first rounder Dwayne Bowe is expected to start with fourth year veteran Samie Parker but everybody else is unproven including former Chicago go star Bobby Sippio. CREATE TURNOVERSBefore safety Mike Brown had his season ended by a ruptured left ACL knee injury he intercepted Philip Rivers and recovered a fumble. In addition to lining up the defense. cook’s instincts around the ball are impeccable and it’s now something new free safety Danieal Manning must ameliorate. The Chiefs dropped several passes had three fumbles and two interceptions in the loss to Houston. IGNITE THE RUNNING GAMEGetting Cedric Benson on the right track would be to be extremely important right now. It ordain bring up his confidence ease the pressure on quarterback Rex Grossman and give the offense plays it can count on. Helping Benson helps Grossman. The domiciliate field will also help. It always gives an offense an advance. The Chiefs are an improving defense allowing only 3.5 yards/displace against Ahman Green and the Texans. FIRST DOWN PRODUCTIONWith the expected inclusion of wide receiver Devin Hester and running approve Garrett Wolfe in the game plan the Bears should furnish Rex Grossman more options to move the roll around. Five players touched the roll in the passing game against the Chargers but 8 of his 12 completions went to either Bernard Berrian or Desmond Clark. On first down the Bears averaged only 3.59 yards on 22 first drink plays while the league add up for the week was 4.89 yard/play. They ran it 12 times for a 3.42 add up and passed it 10 times for an add up of 3.6 yards.
