The Bears fell into a comfort level after reaching Super Bowl XLI, according to general manager Jerry Angelo, and now three non-playoff seasons later they're operating under different rules. Or they're choosing to apply their rules now. It depends on how you want to look at it. Coach Lovie Smith was adamant last week that his public benching of Tommie Harris on Monday night against the Packers, and the quick hook for starting cornerback Zack Bowman, were not signs of a new era demanding accountability at Halas Hall. "It's always been our mantra but maybe more so this year than maybe in years past because coming off that '06 year having all the success we kept the football team together so maybe there were some assumptions being made in our evaluations that weren't necessarily accurate and maybe some players got into a little bit of a comfort level," Angelo said during the pregame show on WBBM-AM 780.

Practicing for a career in politics after you leave football, Angelo? :icon_smile: What a bunch of double talk BS...
