The way Mike Martz sees it, the Chicago Bears could play in the Hall of Fame game on a day’s notice if necessary. Of course, that’s not realistic and he wouldn’t want to try, but if they absolutely, positively had to? “If we report to camp and they say, `Tomorrow, you’re playing the game,’ that’ll be plenty,†Martz, Chicago’s offensive coordinator, said Wednesday. The Bears are scheduled to open training camp at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais, Ill., late next week and play St. Louis in the Hall of Fame game on Aug. 7. All that is in doubt at the moment because of the lockout. Martz wouldn’t say exactly how much time they would need, but he did say they could be ready rather quickly. “You don’t do game plans for those games, anyway,†he said. “It’s not like a regular-season game at all. There’s not a whole lot of game preparation. You look at personnel, things of that nature, and clean things up execution-wise. The preparation for preseason games, particularly the first one, is not real hard.†Source: Associated Press
What? Play the last game plan they ran? Will that also include Jay Cutler tapping out? I guess so, the other guys have to get reps.
