Bears Will Use Mark Anderson At Both DE and DT

Bears defensive end Mark Anderson was surprised when coaches asked him to rush the quarterback from the defensive tackle position last week in practice. "The first thing I thought was that I need to put on like 20 more pounds if I'm going to be down there with the big boys," Anderson said with a laugh. The Bears threw a new wrinkle at the Packers in last Sunday night's season opener by lining up the quick and athletic 6-4, 255-pounder at tackle next to Tommie Harris in some passing situations while keeping both Adewale Ogunleye and Alex Brown in the game at end. "I went down there [in practice] and worked out a little bit, and we ended up using that package in the game and it was a pretty good package," Anderson said. "We wanted a lot of pass rushers on the field, and it worked for the most part." The Bears were pleased with how Anderson performed and could continue to use him inside. "First off, you need to be able to do a good job to stop the run and get them into some third-and-long situations," said coach Lovie Smith. "And they you're looking for your best pass rushers. Mark is one of our best pass rushers. "We haven't used him a lot inside, but if a guy can rush outside and he has that type of ability, it's a different look for an inside offensive lineman who's used to blocking a little bit different type of athlete."

We need to mix it up a little more. We don't want to become too predicatable.

I liked how active Anderson was last week but from what I could see, most of it came down field, after the fact, when he was at DT. He's just too light for the inside IMO.
