Devin The Dude Should Shine On Offense This Year

Devin Hester should be the main focal point of the offense this upcoming season. He can only get better as he'll have game experience as a receiver going into training camp this year. It also gives him another year to learn the playbook. Obviously he struggled to grasp the playbook last year, and the Bears were forced to run the same 3 or 4 plays with him whenever he was on the field. Even with a limited amount of plays to work with, Ron Turner should have done a better job utilizing him. It seemed like every game the first two plays the Bears ran with Hester on the field were the end around and the fake end around. It NEVER worked because it was so predictable. The play could be effective if they didn’t try it every game. Ron Turner is a jackass! He had the most dangerous weapon in the entire league, but didn’t know how to use it.

With another year under his belt learning the playbook, Devin Hester has a chance to become one of the premier receivers in the league. His ability to cut on a dime can get him separation from even the best cornerbacks in the league and his breakaway speed lets him easily outrun anybody on the field. The only question mark that still remains is his hands. He dropped some easy touchdowns this past season, but I’m sure his number one focus on the off-season (aside from learning the playbook) is improving his catching ability. Once his hands become more reliable and Turner realizes that Devin Hester needs to STAY on the field, he could easily be an all-pro receiver.

The only two other things that Hester needs to do this off-season are pick a new get-hype song, and a new touchdown dance (which will probably match up with whatever song he picks). If he continues to have Soulja Boy play before his kick returns I don’t think I would be willing to go to any Bears games this year. That is the most annoying song of 2007 and it continues to annoy in 2008. Now I don’t actually think he would want to have that played-out song as his anthem this year, but you never know because it was such a tradition during last season. I mean it did have thousands of old white people doing a dance and rapping along to a song that they didn’t actually understand, which is funny, but still I can not stand hearing that shit anymore. Devin, if you do use “Crank Dat” as your song again, at least let it be the Travis Barker remix which is actually bearable. But better than that I suggest using whatever this summer’s anthem will be (hopefully something by Bun B).
