[CBFF] What's different about Rex

[Steve Behrens]

1) Explain the multitude of easily catchable balls that are dropped?

2) It all starts with the OL.  Nothing works w/o one.

3) I agree that the Bears have the TE's to do the job... just not an OC who
thinks so (on a consistent basis).

4) Sometimes the timetables between expectations and reached potential
aren't synchronized exactly.
