To say Chicago Bears' quarterback Rex Grossman (Cannon Arm QB) had a rollercoaster season would be still

understating the matter. At times Grossman looked like one of the best in the game; then the next week Grossman could

turn into the second coming of Ryan Leaf. Rex Grossman had multiple games with quarterback ratings over 100 as well

as multiple games with quarterback ratings near 0. The Bears' return one of the strongest defenses and special team

units in the game; but it'll require improved consistency at quarterback to lead the Bears back to the Super Bowl.

There aren't many players that can get around Brick Wall Defender Brian Urlacher.

The Bears lost last year's strarting running back Thomas Jones to the New York Jets. Former Texas star Cedric Benson

assumes the role; he's not especially quick and better suited for inside runs. Center Olin Kreutz (Pass Blocker) is one of

the top rated at his position. Bernard Berrian (Speed) is a fast deep threat; veteran Mushin Muhammed (Hands Receiver)

is slower, but the better route runner and possession receiver. Note that you can use Devin Hester (Speed), kick and

punt return specialist, as a Bears wide receiver: his 100 speed is the best in the game. Hester also possesses 99

acceleration, agility, and elusiveness. Utilize Hester in short passes to offset his poorer catch and route running abilities.

The defensive unit has many standouts, including Brian Urlacher (Smart Linebacker, Brick Wall Defender, Big Hitter) and

Lance Briggs (Brick Wall Defender, Big Hitter). These are two of the best linebackers in Madden 08. Tommie Harris

(Finesse and Power Move D-Lineman) anchors a strong line and Nathan Vasher (Smart Corner) leads a solid secondary.
