Houshmandzadeh Challenges Bears Cornerbacks

The Chicago Bears will be taking on the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, and Seahawks wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh has been making sure that the Bears’ defensive backs have some fire coming into the game. This week, Houshmandzadeh talked to reporters and made it very clear how he thought he would do against cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Zack Bowman. He said, ” I feel like I’m going to get open every play, every time. But that’s not going to be the case. Those guys get paid well. I feel I’m going to win regardless, but I have to be realistic. I feel I’m going to win 95 percent of the time and they can get the other 5… It doesn’t matter who it is. It can be inexperienced, it can be Champ Bailey, it doesn’t matter. I feel like I am going to get open and if the protection is there, it doesn’t matter who it is.”

Bowman and Tillman were asked about his comments, but decided not to engage in the debate. Linebacker Lance Briggs spoke up for them and said, “I’ll take a Bear corner over Houshmandzadeh any day. He sounds like a bitter guy. He was bitter about it. Maybe he wanted to play in Chicago. If he’s going to show what he’s going to do on Sunday, I’ll tell you what: So are we, so am I. I’ve been playing against T.J. since college, so I know what type of competitor he is. The guy can play. But his personal feelings toward us, I could (not) care less.”
