Be aware of their screens and "dump offs" to Forte and don't let Knox get a chance to get his hands near the football because he always seemed to come up with an unbelieveable third down catch against us at some point in the close games we had last year.  We need to establish a running game and keep their defense off-balance.  IF we can protect Aaron, the Bears can just pick their poison!  We have far too many weapons with SPEED to receive the ball.  We need to jump on them quick, build a decent lead and keep them one dimentional.  And I trust in Capers to be at least a few steps ahead of Martz.  The guy can flat out "scheme!"A lot of "ifs" for this game, but it's the penalties, dropped passes, missed tackles and turnovers that we MUST avoid in order to take of business!  I like us in this one, 27-13.</blockquote>
