@mm: "I think we have a nice gem of a replacement for Tank riding the "injured 
reserve" list this season with a stubbed toe or sumpin' in Dusty Dvoracek. 
Did anybody see the stats on that guy from last springs draft? Sounds like 
quite a monster at DT again. I couldn't figure out why Angelo took him with 
Tank and Harris in the middle, but maybe Angelo had some foresight into the 
lifestyle of Tank, and played another one of his shrewd middle round cards 
again. If Dvoracek plays anywhere near his potential and especially his 
weight lifting regiment, Tank could be very expendable.

Which are part of the risks you make in a draft choice these days...and 
possibly why Tank went in the second round when some boards had him as a 
first rounder...and why maybe you draft another tackle in Dvoracek a year 
later...ahh...the fun of being a GM in the NFL.
I do realize this...if Tank continues this disdain for the law he appears to 
have...his football playing days may be limited to a real life bit part in 
"The Longest Yard 2".

    @rushdoggspam: "The other good thing with Dusty is he played next to Tommie Harris in 
college, they probably know how each other is going to play and understand 
where each other will be.

My guess is that the Bears decision on Tank will go something like this.
The Bears will try to help Tank by getting him professional counseling.
It would be in his and their best interest to try and help him reform.
He is a family member of the Bears organization, that they want to see
him do well with both his personal life as well as his Football
carrier. 
The loss of Tanks friend Posey, was a tragedy. The Bears must know if
Tank is truly a thug. I don't think they would have drafted him if they
knew that to be true. Is it possible that his choice of friends was
poor, and some of them could be a bad influence on him. Just wander how
much of an influence Posey had on him. Did Posey talk him into going to
he night club, as Posey had much less to loose, outside of his life,
which neither would have considered.
Hopefully Tank will see the light and realize that the path he is on
will only lead to his own destruction."
