Not so sure those weren't zone blitzes...
Blitzing doesn't automatically mean you go to man, especially in a 34.

There were zone blitzes, but the majority of the time it was man.
Regardless, Ball isn't playing FS (LMFAO), And Jennings is just another anchor Emery left tied to us.

Hahahaha He was never even spoken of until we signed him. Nobody saw that signing coming and if it was seen coming then Mr A.Lemming would have let us know about it. Quit acting like you know any more than anyone on here because you don't now carry on. At one time it was actually tweeted out that he signed a one year two million dollar deal with Carolina and that was not true and then nothing was heard about him until he signed with us.

Stop acting like just because you heard nothing means nobody was talking about him.
Regardless, your assumption that he may play FS was not only foolish, but just plain lazy.

Aaron Leming (@AaronLemingNFL) tweeted at 9:49am - 27 Mar 15: Alan Ball had been a top target for the #Bears since the start of FA. Patience has been the name of the game so far for Pace.*

I really, really like that approach from Pace. Yes, he'll lose some of his targets in FA now and again, because some other team was desperate (or stupid) enough to dish out that big contract. But at least we'll probably never be in big salary cap-trouble, as Pace seems to get most of the guys he wants to the contracts he wants to give.

Alan Ball as I stated earlier: Not a starter, solid depth, good special teams.

They just gave him 3 mil. You don't pay that for depth. The Bears want him on the field.

So now explain why the bear swooped in and out bid Carolina to get him? Did Pace just pay 3 mil for a special teamer that doesn't return?

Yea, me too. Especially because earlier that week it was reported that Panthers had signed him for 2 million. So I figured we gave him that or even less.

I love how Lemmings comes in after the fact a player has signed to announce his inside info. Oh, man, thanks bro.

So now it's irrelevant for a Bears beat reporter to report, that the team's GM is showing great patience in his free agency-actions? Oh, okay.

I expect a big rebound year out of Jennings this year. No player degraded more than Jennings other than Briggs, and I believe it was more Tucker and the malaise than loss of skill on the part of Jennings. I can see him having a come-back player of the year season coming up.

In a system that is totally wrong for him? Don't put money on it. More likely the Bears try to hide him best they can.

So just a reminder. We paid Alan Ball the same amount of money Peanut got from Carolina. Seriously.

You do realize the Panthers tried to sign Alan Ball BEFORE they tried to sign Tillman?

Which confirms that most of the GMs in the NFL dont know what they're doing.
