Time to get the meatheads all steamed up. Tim Tebow should be our backup QB.

According to Scott Kascmar, NFL Writer, Jay Cutler is now 4th in the league among active players with 13 career GW TD passes. He is behind Brady and Manning but in front of Rodgers, Eli, and Brees. He also tweeted a chart that says with a minimum of 30 total games, Cutler is 4th *ALL-TIME* in winning percentage (51.4%) in games that are "kept close in the 4th quarter and OT" (he did not say exactly what 'kept close' is).

Big day today! Draft Picks: Round 4: picks #19 (117) #26 (124) #29 (127) Round 5: pick #11 (150) Round 6: picks #10 (185) & #31 (206) Round 7: pick #9 (230) I'm glad it's raining here in Central Illinois so I have the perfect excuse to waste the entire day following the draft!

It is funny how the internet takes you down rabbit holes. First I see this article about 3 Bears players playing for the same H.S. : http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...03-85c5d4e82962 then I start reading up on Onobun, who at the time of his signing, didn't seem to draw much attention (rightfully so). However, looking at his Pro Day: this guy seems to have all the physical attributes to succeed, but only played football one year in college (and still was drafted in the 6th round), so he is still raw. With his ties to Bennett, could this guy develop into our #2 pass catching TE eventually?

Some things get posted on here related to specific topics, so might has well be here

I don't know if football players believe in the term "slump" buster but here's a random story that I stumbled onto about Lisa Lampenneli apparently hooking up with a Bear player (they claim it to possibly be McBride). I sure hope that the player was trying his best to be a team guy and break the slump because any other reason is just well, gross. http://thebiglead.com/?p=3890

A Sun Times article discusses Lovie taking over on D, and goes on to talk about Lovie being "excited" about potential personnel changes, referring to players and not coaches. This led Briggs to wonder if we might not have our sights set on some of the big names in FA on the defensive side of the ball. Now, I know many here want to add the CB from Oakland, but I personally do not believe he would even be considered. We run a scheme that relies on the pass rush, while cover two corners are not usually considered shut down caliber. So while many would like to add a stud CB, I don't see that in the plans. If we are going to make a change to the personnel that w…

According to Mulligan on 670 the Score, Jerry is Done. Not sure if its fired or retired.

Just starting this to track discussions as the draft unfolds this evening.

Cutler: 20-34, 234 yards, 2 TD, 3 INT Forte: 13 rushes, 36 yards, 3 catches, 78 yards, 1 TD Taylor: 5 rushes, 17 yards Hester: 2 catches, 35 yards, 1 TD Bears 23-20

Friday, May 16, 2008 Points of View, May 16, 2008 http://chicagobearsfanforum.com/blog/?p=246 The Bears * Rex Grossman spoke briefly to the Chicago Tribune yesterday. Among other things he expressed gratitude toward the Bears for giving him another opportunity with a one-year deal. Grossman evidently doesn't understand that he's going to get as many chances as he needs until he either succeeds for at least one year and gets a long-term contract or GM Jerry Angelo, who took him in the first round, gets himself fired. Dick Jauron was less loyal to John Shoop. * Lovie Smith answered questions from fans on chicagobears.co…

Cutler: 26-33, 285 yards, 3 TD's Forte: 25 carries, 101 yards, 1 TD, 4 catches, 36 yards, 1 TD Peterson: 5 carries, 21 yards Wolfe: 3 carries, 8 yards Hester: 7 catches, 78 yards, 1 TD Bennett: 6 catches, 63 yards Knox: 4 catches, 53 yards Olsen: 4 catches, 39 yards, 1 TD Davis: 2 catches, 16 yards Bears 37-16

Drama in the preseason? So far not a great start for the Bears offense.

Win out and youre in.

Matt Forte's twitter: chitownforte22: Made it to camp! Ready for tomorrow

Aaron Leming ‏@AaronLemingNFL 15m15 minutes ago Per sources: #Bears are close to a deal with WR Eddie Royal. Adam gets his guy....Don't hate it at all. Good WR. Had real good year with Cutler in the past.

Cutler: 20-32, 214 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT Forte: 16 rushes, 66 yards, 3 catches, 32 yards, 1 TD Taylor: 8 rushes, 31 yards Knox: 8 catches, 100 yards, 1 TD Bears 23-16

This is a big pick since we have no 5th rounder and you don't expect much from your 6th & 7th round guys. It's important we get a guy who sticks here.
