[My Take]



More football news and happenings from around the league; here’s the latest I am hearing, reading, and following with my take on things and how they will impact the coming fantasy week……

Player Notes From Across My Wire...

Mike Martz finds work in Chicago....
The reunion of the former Rams coordinators (Marts & Smith) in the windy city could be a good thing for quarterback Jay Cutler as well as running back Matt Forte. The recent signing on of Mike Martz as the team's new offense coordinator could also signal change is coming.

Like former Dolphin's head coach Don Shula did nearly 27 years ago, the Bears head coach Lovie Smith could be looking to develop his offense more around the talent he has under center, rather than ask his quarterback to adapt to the team's running philosophy of the past.

Let's face it, you don't sign on Martz to call run plays and when you have a quarterback with Cutler's arm strength who has the ability to make any throw on the field you don't ask him to just hand off. The Bears have some young talent at the wideout position, but don't be surprised to see them seek some veteran skill at the position and focus on revamping the line in the offseason.

The change could also bode very well for Forte who has already shown great versatility as a pass catcher and runner. If the team builds around an offense similar to what Martz ran in St. Louis, Cutler and Forte could be very popular fantasy prospects in 2010.

Chicago may not be the likely place for 4,500 yard and 30 touchdown passer, but if Brady can set records in the Boston cold, why not?

More Notes....


Vick done in Philly?….
The signs appear to be there and the rumors are now swirling that Michael Vick could be exiting the city of brotherly love. It makes sense that the team only brought in Vick as insurance for McNabb Now. After Kevin Kolb successfully displayed his ability to play in two starts this past season, it sure looks like he could supplant number five sometime down the road.

If Kolb is the future, Vick becomes a rather expensive commodity coming off the bench for 4-6 plays per game. While there have been no reports yet, it would make better sense for the Eagles to invest their long-term future in Kolb and try to trade Vick this off-season. Right now reports indicate there are a few takers that could show interest, including the Bills. With that said, it sure does sound like he's leaving.
