Whether the Bears are the best defense or the second best you are really nitpicking about who's a better defense, oh wait you didn't even name who you think is the best defense. I will just assume you think it's Baltimore and the difference between who's better, Baltimore or Chicago is very minimal.
Jackson hardly looked rusty in the first half when he was running over the Panthers defense. He sure did look bad in the second half AFTER Pace went out of the game and our offense went into a shell though. Coincidence, I think not.

Point is, LT wasn't running no where near as well as he usually does. and jackson wouldn't fumble twice in a game, doesnt matter if he ran into his teammate, he can do better. i think jackson can still do well this year, even without pace. he seemed to get comfortable towards the end of last year.

We haven't had a real 'burner' since Alexander Wright, and maybe a Kevin Curtis (pre-leg fracture)
Tory IMO doesn't have 'pure speed' but uses his awesome smarts and routes/fakes to give him the break away.
Bruce at 35 has certainly lost a few steps, but he was never a burner either. Perhaps thats why we now find ourselves in this dink/dunk nonesense. We just don't have genuine deep threats.
Just my two penneth'

Yep, i agree. i still think daunte can burn people though, and torry can still do the deep ball. boldin and fitz are slower than holt and bruce are now, and we can certainly get it done if they can, i just wish we wouldnt dink/dunk so much
