Part of the Solution - Tommie Harris
Everyone knows that #91 is a perennial All-Pro performer. I don't think debate can even be accepted on this topic. When healthy, Tommie blows up a play in the offensive backfield 3-4 times a game. Add in the ability to get down the line of scrimmage as a play moves away from him and you have the complete package. Tommie Harris will get a new deal with the Beloved and will be in Chicago for the next 5 to 7 years.

Part of the Solution - Greg Olsen
Not going far out on a limb here, but Greg Olsen is an offensive weapon on a team that has about 1.5 of them. He can run, he can catch, he can put his body in front of people, he can rap, he can speak in cliches. Everyone gets upset about his knee injury that occurred late in a pre-season game, but being a rookie shouldn't he have gotten a lot of activity in those games? He does play football, right? Sometimes people get hurt playing football.
Greg seemed to sometimes get forgotten about for large stretches of games, but that has nothing to do with the fact he is good. After catching the ball, he likes to get it out away from his body sometimes, but I am sure he will clean that up going forward. This was a first-round (albeit 31st) offensive selection by Jerry Angelo that no one can really argue with. Best player in the draft at his position and I think it will play out that way over the next few years.
Part of the Problem - Fred Miller
Let's start this off with a discussion about our seemingly deaf friend, Fred Miller. In 2007 Fred develop a keen ability to false start in all game situations, in most stadiums he played in, against whatever type of pass rush formation that was shown to him. This accomplishment should not go without proper acknowledgment.
Fred Miller - Congratulations!
Fred Miller, the man whose face collided with a metal weight propelled by Offensive Lineman So Good We Cannot Question Anything He Does (OLSGWCQAHD) Olin Kreutz is definitely part of the problem for the Chicago Bears. He was a large contributor to the least athletic offensive line in the league and routinely performed acts of general kindness by getting out of the way of defensive ends on their way to the QB-of-the-week. Fred Miller is a liability, not an asset. He cannot be trusted in any one-on-one blocking situation.
