Who knew that Ian was such a Merriweather hater?

Given Lovie's comments about changing things up, it's not a surprise that he's switching out his safeties. I thought Harris was much worse than Meriweather in that game, but neither player covered themself in glory.

Where are all the folks who long and pine for Meriweather with their 20-20 hindsight????

He will be out of the league by next year, and just a memory.

No one ever claimed he was great. Every pat fan knows he was not very good, but he was the best of a bad bunch. Are you going to try and claim sergio brown or barrett are better.

I don't think even BB thought the jokers we have now ARE better than Meriweather. I do think, however, that he thought he could coach them up and that they COULD BE better than Meriweather.

Still better than what we got next to Chung. Doesn't matter though, of all the safeties we had I wanted to keep Page.

Sciz

All 3 of those safeties are sucking right now. Page missed 4 tackles last week.

I really wanted to keep Page too. Shows how difficult it is for us fans to assess players, especially those whom we don't get to see on many plays.

I actually thought Meriweather would excel in a Tampa 2 defense. Granted I have since read that the Bears don't run a true Tampa 2. Possibly the undisciplined style of the Tampa 2 or Tampa 2 hybrid just causes Meriweather to play even dumber than he did here making him regress even more. It also could be that the Bears' defense just stinks and the safety position is just being the scape goat.

I was never upset they let him go. I was am upset they didn't get a legitimate starter next to Chung, but Meriweather was never the choice I wanted. Sanders made a good play or two this past week (although he isn't lighting the world on fire in Atlanta). Would have much rather kept him.
