Devin Hester Carries Bears On His Back

Devin Hester is the only reason that the Bears are putting up any points this season. He’s coming off of a massive rookie season setting the return touchdown record and also being the first player to return the opening kickoff in a Superbowl. Hester already has 3 return touchdowns this year and an 81 yard receiving touchdown. He’s done this as teams kick away from him and try and discover new ways to try and shut him down. Teams focus entire special teams strategies around Hester and he still manages to get 3 returns at this point in the season. If the Bears can get Hester to be a consistent force on offence, then we could be in for something special. If the Bears stop using him as a decoy and leave him in for more than a play a drive, we could finally see a successful Bears offense, especially without Grossman as QB. We could be seeing one of the most potent players in the NFL become a nightmare for opposing teams. Do you kick away from him on special teams and leave the Bears good field position and face Hester on offense? Do you kick to Hester and let him run at you in the hope that you back the Bears up? These are the questions that will need answering in the coming weeks as Hester is integrated into the Bears offense in a hopefully more permanent way. It should be interesting to see how this turns out and if Hester can take this Bears offense on his shoulders and turn their season around.
