Matt Forte-New Bears Running Back

[BboyxAmplifier]

Doesn't Forte lead on 3rd down conversions at the moment? He seems to be able to find a hole through almost any situation.

[streator08]

i think forte is the real deal. he hasn't been exactly dazzling but he can run, block and receive and makes a lot of big plays. jones is a good backup too.

[bearsfan547]

We have Forte ans Jones(Kevin Jones).. both great guys...don't under estimate Kevin Jones or Forte

[drkAdge]

Fote, Jones? No need to give Bears fan's wet dreams. Forte will be a stud in the NFL nonetheless. GO BEARS.

[dave9772]

they never should have gotten rid of Thomas Jones....and got rid of Benson instead...imagine Forte and Jones....

[ginn3dolphins]

yea jones was alright

wouldve been like julius and marion barber last year

i never thought benson was going to do good

[fuloran1]

Yeah, Benson had all the tools, but a 5 cent head. Just an arrogant ass with no work ethic at all. One of those guys who thought all he had to do was show up.

Forte has a great work ethic, and is just a good kid. He will be great if he stays healthy.

[echapa2009]

they have an even better combo with kevin jones if he stays healthy

[richg58921]

hes a good all around back. too bad benson didnt have the work ethic forte does.

[SpeakinAxiom]

He needs some1 to split carries with

[birdflippa408]

He does kevin jones has been getting touches

[SpeakinAxiom]

i meant like a small quick guy like chris johnson type rb

[FlippinPanda42124]

whats up with him on the sants

[lakers4life20]

saints.thats tulane in college

[herodown1]

He may not be like LT but he sure can run good, at least better then Cedric Benson

[gvillanueva24]

matt forte is da shit. lol, him,michael turner,maurice jones-drew are all gunna have a raw ass career. i like that guy hanie,he was good. he should be the 2 qb

[IllELLIOTT06]

Rookie season the likes of Vikes "Adrian Peterson", we can only hope

[meachemfan17]

good luck fort. i love you. a true louisianian. the bears got someone special. just like the saints and pierre thomas.

[thebeastlyhoodlum]

argh why didn't i start him on my fantasy team...well i won anyways but still...

[lilhester07]

well he seems to have a good mix between payton and sanders... and he backed that up when he ran all over the colt's 3rd rushing defense in the league

[dakoose]

Are you out of your mind??? I'm a huge Bears fan and was very impressed by Forte's debut, but it's just one game. You wanna put Forte in the same sentence as Walter Payton and Barry Sanders?? He looked good, but thats all. Let him prove himself over a full season/career before you start casting his HOF bust.

[bernieb07]

first of all NOBODY says he was better than Payton after one game, and Matt is a humble individual that has IT. He's a STUD RUNNING BACK, and he is a force to be reckoned with!! I'm a bears fan for life, and Matt (because i watched him at tulane also by the way) is the best back we have had since neal anderson!!!

[ILUVjuggie]

Real Talk.... Neal Anderson was always my Fav. Bears back since The Payton Era ended... I can see flashes of Forte having that kind of ability... I gotta good feeling about him

[lockup31b]

I agree, you guys remember that one year we had that quarterback that came off injured reserve and threw some bombs in the first few games of the season then proceeded to drop the snap a couple times in the super bowl.... oh yea his name was rex grossman.... *cries* GO BEARS!!!

[bananamanmanmanman]

matt forte reminds me of edgeran james when he was good

[catchfree84]

he reminds me of marcus allen...tall smooth runner

[bananamanmanmanman]

id say his best feature is finding the hole

[lilhester07]

nah that guy from the falcons michael turner reminds me of maurice... Forte reminds me of Walter Payton. He has the stride he stops on a dime and hes a powerhouse. He's just a faster version.

[gvillanueva24]

this kid is gunna be good,the bears really needed a good running back. this guy kinda reminds me of maurice jones-drew from da jaguars. i think the bears are gunna be pretty good this year. they got a healthy rb,decent qb,booker is back,and brandon lloyd looks like a pretty decent player too.and if u saw the bears-colts game yesterday. you can see the bears defense was beastin on colts. and bears special teams is one of the best in the nfl right now

[blacknight766]

He reminds me of Deuce Mcallister!

[bigbird3443]

dude is a beast

[jariece5]

he is kicking butt tonight against the colts.

[joegrizzly90]

well he real good in tha nfl guys he starts

[Thralllinian]

he better be Erik Dickerson if they want a winning season

[lsucowboys99]

he seems to do very well on the sweep plays, because he is too big ford dbs, and too fast for lbs

[flossbee]

I need this guy to do big things for my fantasy football team. Adrian Peterson type rookie season? Who knows...

[redcore85]

He appears to have good feet and instinct for breaking tackles, but whether or not he'll be fast by NFL standards (first string, not just second/third string in the pre-season) will only be proven come game time. If he's good, he'll probably get a pretty heavy workload, but he'll have to create TD opportunities himself - the QB situation does not help.

[andies32]

gmjvjhckjh

[TheAForeigner]

fast guy that can run between tackles n with breakaway speed.

[ILikeBikeCheese]

He means Kevin Jones.

[gauchebag]

haha why a rolling stones song used for this

[dragonice81]

I see the '06 Running Game back. With Forte and Jones, our Rushing attack will be much better than Benson.

[arroyoflush15]

JONES?

if u mean Thomas Jones hes a Jet

and its 08 buddy

[dragonice81]

KEVIN JONES, god, and i meant it reminded me of the 06 running attack.

[23hester5]

jones aint with the bears anymore

[noenjaxxz911]

I can see a hint of a adrian peterson(vikings) in him, he is big and even though it doesnt seem like he is quick he will burn you badly, an undiscovered underated back, kinda reminds me of a story of someoene else who played for the bears umm what was his name again o yeah WALTER PAYTON! i can see this kid rocking it big in Chi-Town!!!! Forte and the CHICAGO BEARS SUPERBOWL CHAMPS FOR '09

[goeagles86]

kid looks good. reminds me of clinton portis

[mrchitownnigga]

thank god we got rid of benson! now only we got to keep grossman!!

[ymmij2k8]

I got him on my ff team ~i hope he breaks a couple of those long ones fo sho.... anythings better than benson.

[yeahGuy15]

finally the bears get a decent running back friggin benson was shit. thank god. we are a running offense for cryin out loud!

[macanazo13]

i hope this guy is good. he looks good in a highlight real. although i will be honest with you i would rather have someone that can actually break thru a line by sheer speed and brute force. i honestly dont see that in him.

[jojojojobn]

him and kevin jones should be a good 1-2 punch

[rloebe34]

Some good music for once on youtube.. Instead of shitty rap

[catchfree84]

rap > this

[mark7341]

matt forte is so much better than ian johnson forte will be a star at the end of his roookie year

[SchoebenID]

His running style looks like Ian Johnson's from Boise State but not quite as fast.

[mbrowny733]

He looks pretty good to me, although I couldn't tell for sure if he switches hands or not when running the ball. If he doesn't, that could be a lot of why he has a fumbling problem.

[leadcharisma]

I'm not trying to hate on him, I am a Bears fan after all, he looks good but he had some really nice backside seal-off blocking on some of those runs. Hope the Bears can do the same for him.

[JohnFromChicago]

It's always good to hear from fans who know what they're looking at rather than the hype. I can't say I'm a fan yet, but I can say i have a better feeling about Forte than I ever did about Cedric. Hopefully, he'll watch some old footage from another fellow who played HB for the Bears, get over the big league jitters, and take his place. Never Die Easy - Play Very Loud! True for us all

[drkAdge]

Fuck Eli Mannning

[deranged83]

matt forte will be runnin for touchdowns while cedric benson will be bobbin for apples...good luck ced....

[DaBears1070]

with 2000+ yards

[DaBears1070]

Jsteezie- you know matt forte is the 7th NCAA single season rusher of all time right? thats pretty good.

[jack473473]

2;20 -2;30 it looks like all day adrrian peterson

[The1orangeDude]

ya he does but y they on the saints field?

[jack473473]

because tulane is in New orleans

[The1orangeDude]

but dont they have there own stadium

[jack473473]

lol idk y they were playing there i just cant wait untill he runs for 145 yards against the saints

[giancarlochavez9]

ya man thisll b da 3 year in a row weve beat them!

[giancarlochavez9]

theyre to poor to afford another field. lol

[The1orangeDude]

lol

[KenTheMan407]

this dude look pretty good

[chitownboyz]

this stuppid ass song

[fffcccf]

3:55 two future bears starters making very good plays...THE BEARS ARE GOING BACK TO THE SUPERBOWL

[jsteezie420]

the bears are gonna be awful this year. they have no wide receivers, a rookie running back who went to Tulane (hmmm) and do I even need to get into Sexy Rexy

[RedArmy8]

The Bears will not be awful. They aren't gonna go to the the Super Bowl, but they still play in a weak division with a couple pretenders, with the defense back at full strength and the game's best special teams corp they will compete. Mel Kiper also compares rookies Marcus Monk and Earl Bennett to Marques Colston and Hines Ward. And who cares about where Forte went to school? Ben Roethlisberger wnt to Miami OH, and Willie Parker went to UNC.

[daveydenero]

its rex 3rd season as a starter he deserves 3 full yrs like any other Q.B. alex smith, eli,boller,etc.

[giancarlochavez9]

isnt it a coincidence the three u r comparing rex to all suck?

[daveydenero]

Newsflash eli just won the superbowl fuck face

[dukeofcrash]

so did trent dilfer, but I wouldn't want my starting quarterback to be like trent dilfer.

[wlawson09]

Eric Dickerson went to SMU, Barry Sanders and Thurman Thomas went to Oklahoma State, Terrell Owens went to Tennessee Chatanouga, Randy Moss went to Marshall, Steve Largent went to Tulsa, LaDainian Tomlinson went to TCU, Steve Smith went to Utah, Jarred Allen went to Idaho State, do you want me to continue? it doesnt matter where you go to college, its how you perform. every dumbass who has ever played football can tell u that.

[superman3105]

dude nabs ur crazy to even compare peterson from the vikings to forte no one has the combination of size, speed, power and elusiveness that peterson packages together. Forte has the size and the power so it seems and has the makings of a good back but don't compare the two when its not close. if forte breaks the single game rushing record then maybe we can talk but just maybe

[Russian2323]

song is sick what is it??

[knashash]

Stray Cat Blues - Rolling Stones

[CTMOVIEMAN]

Welcome to the Bears Matt, Keep your nose clean, dont drink and drive in a car or on a boat. The Bears drafted a little RB from the south some time ago, and not many had high hopes then... But then that RB became the best RB NFL has ever seen. Lets see what ya got, good luck and hit that hole hard and leave nothing left and this city will love ya. Oh yea dont hold out,, ok? lol

[nabs307]

If he holds out..I will be pissed!

[ajty1]

da na na

[rh086654]

He Runs a lot like Robert Smith used to on the Vikings

[gordomarley]

im a saints fan but i go to tulane and matt forte is THE MAN. i watched this kid run the ball last season. i have a feeling he's goin to do great in the nfl. the fact that most pple critisize his ability bc hes from tulane & C-USA, we'll only give him more motivation to show wat he's got.most players that come in from a big time college think they're off the bat going to be as good as in college. matt forte will be great man! good luck to yall!

[fritobandito94]

how the hell did he get outta that pile at 45 that was skill ...cant wait til next year...beara r gonna kick som ass

[JohnPierce321]

GREAT TUNE.. what is it ?? need it on my ipod

[brave89ulysses]

This is a great song choice, anyways With Benson out Forte will get a chance to start and i have a feeling he'll do just fine

[fffcccf]

Forte was also the senior bowl MVP, he averaged 4.6 yards against LSU in 07 and was relatively lightly used avging around 160 carries his first 3 years, before carrying the load last year and producing a 2000 plus yard season. What's good about this is that he will be durable, and fresher for a long pro career. Forte has a great work ethic as im sure most of you have heard though we may have another cedric problem with him....he is often out at 3...4 in the morning.......doing wind sprints ppl..

[superman3105]

nabs307 ur absolutly crazy u must have a few screws loose if you think forte is even close to adrian peterson he played at a smaller school and is no where near the back. Its not just size and speed and speed wise forte aint even close but he doesn't have the imma punish u mentality AP has he'll be good forte will but no AP

[asong1588]

forte > peterson.

[nabs307]

Superman3105, Forte played in a small school that's why he didn't get the same attention that Peterson did and you must be blind not to see the comparation!!!!!!!

[nabs307]

By the way thank god for BUSTON I mean Benson, "HIT THE ROAD JACK AND DON'T COME BACK NO MORE NO MORE HIT THE ROAD JACK"

[CTMOVIEMAN]

i second that,., see ya Benson... He came and left just as fast as the TV show Benson.. You had to be drunk to watch both anyway..,

[nabs307]

Matt Forte is a little taller than Adrian Peterson from the Viqueens....almost same moves and same speed....

[geckosethpe]

First off...NO back will ever be "sweetness" like our Legendary #34. Second, Forte is NOTHING like Benson. As stated earlier, he comes from a small school and is PROUD to put the "C" on his helmet unlike Benson was when we drafted him. Forte realizes the tradition of running backs here in Chicago and I hope the offensive line can open up some lanes for him, thats where the skill takes in.

Lets not forget that Payton regularly benched 500lbs and ALWAYS worked out in the offseason.

[JohnnyTruant612]

I'm looking forward to Bourb.

Hopefully Forte blows up the comp.

GO BEARS!

[Luis0eric]

with benson gone i just dont know if forte can take the load, he shows potential but then again he hardly played vs quality teams...but then again payton was almost the same...only time will tell...HOPEFULLY...GO BEARS!!

[Beezer311]

Benson was just waived, it looks like it's Forte's job to lose now.  Go Bears!

[BeardedCatPharoh]

Walter Payton also came from a small school

[itsaysmoops]

With the Bears, scoring touchdowns will be his "Fortay" :) hehe...

[Esoto826]

lets just hope he doesn't end up like benson did when he first signed his contract with the bears. Hegot lazy cause he knew he was going to be the starter and wasn't going to be challenged anymore.He only started working hard when thomas jones was there and took over the starting position. Once thomas was gone he ran like his feet were in mud and he ran into people more than he ran through them.

[nerrad127]

forte is the complete opposite of benson. His attitude is amazingly great.

[BearsDkills]

yeah i don't think we have to worry about Forte being anything like Benson. Forte is from a small school out to prove himself to the NFL for being passed on early and his attitude is great, he's a nice guy.

[TuffGong420]

'Bout time we got some speed in the backfield.

& It looks like he'll take on defenders along the sideliness

like my boy Sweetness!!

[creedgaming]

This very well could be the next devin hester of the bears , not with speed but with godly running back skills , definitely has the potiental

[gunit094]

come home forte

[pacman725]

they said as of right now benson will be the starter but forte will show him wrong in preseason they should cut benson he fuckin SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[19770326]

Bears will be better than people think

[BearsDkills]

I agree.

[DehHYPE]

haha hella pushed that guy infront of him

[Jononutoob]

Hes got speed and toughness. Thats what we need.

[blktooth5150]

what the hell happend 45 sec. in?

[jessemos456]

he will be awesome
