This is a full version article taken from the I-Form article “Rushing Will Be the Bears’ Forte”

I once thought that Matt Forte would be just one running back of three to make up the Bears ground attack. But, he is quickly becoming the L.T of the Bears organization. Because – in all likelihood – Turnover-saurus-Rex [Grossman] and the extremely shallow wideout corps will not make a Patriots-esque passing attack this year.

Forte is one of two very successful Conference USA running backs (Himself, Kevin Smith) that declared for the NFL Draft early this year that should be successful pro backs. Last year – his senior year – he was a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award (for best running back) and had 2127 yards and 23 touchdowns on the ground.

And, since the release of Cedric Benson, he is the main man on the depth chart for Chicago. Not the Adrian Peterson and Garret Wolfe will get their slightly unfair share of carries while Matt Forte carries the load. Expect him to get a 1000+ yard season with 12+ touchdowns on the ground if he stays healthy.
