He played 13 games for Houston this year. I would think we should at least get a 4th or 5th rounder. Thoughts? Peace

Jordan Pryor, Swope, Matt Scott, Tyler Brey, who is it gonna be

The battle for LB is clearly going to be the most competitive position battle in training camp. I put the battle for safety spots right behind it because I think the talent at LB is better overall. We have Briggs as the only player slotted to a role. After him we have D.J. Williams, SMC, Bostic, Greene, and toss in UDFA Christian Jones. Reggie Herring was very complimentary of SMC and Bostic when he recently stated either could have started for him at MLB in Dallas or Houston. DJ says he's not going to the bench without a fight. ESPN's Michael Wright doesn't even have Greene making the final cut with the team preferring Jordan Senn's special teams abilities…

Do you think we have the best d line in the league ? for me our weak spot is the second DT starter. The Vikings have a great line too but their weak spot is the LE. the Giants have a great one too but how will they play without Strahan ?

Archulletta is on the books for 730K this year. Do we keep him as a cheap backup or is he worthless to us? I have my opinion, but...

Ok, so I was thinking about our Left Tackle situation and thought I would take a look at the last five years of teams that made the Conference Championship games (20 teams) and see how many had a Pro Bowl Tackle. Out of the 20 teams, only 9 had a Pro Bowl Tackle, and one of those was an Alternate. So more than half of the teams did not have an Offensive Tackle (Left or Right) on their team that year. Going further, only 3 of 10 teams that played in the Super Bowl over the past 5 years had a Pro Bowl Tackle. This is sort of the reason why I would not go OT in the first round unless someone drops to us at 19. I think guys like Martin and Adams may be reaches …

Redskins Special-Teams Standout Rejects Contract Offer Posted by Aaron Wilson on April 30, 2009, 12:11 p.m. Washington Redskins reserve linebacker and special-teams ace Khary Campbell has declined the team’s contract offer of a veteran minimum salary and is holding talks with other NFL teams, according to David Elfin of the Washington Times. Per the report, Campbell, who led the Redskins in special-teams tackles over the past three seasons, has made up his mind that he’s not going to accept the offer and will be moving on. “That wasn’t something I was going to accept,” Campbell told the Times. “And they drafted two linebackers. They did what they had to do,…

I touched on this in another thread, but wanted to throw it out there. I think most here (though not all) would like to see us consider OL in the 1st round of the draft, particularly if one of the key OT prospects fall to us. But this is what is bothering me. If our two key FA signings before the draft are both OL (Omiyale & St. Clair) how likely is Angelo to then take an OT in the 1st round of the draft? IMHO, signing Omiyale and St. Clair does nothing to take away from our needs on the OL. Both are solid depth, and players I would not mind in a competition for a starting job, but neither are players I want to enter camp as the set starters. Yet if we…

Bears wideouts produced biggest day since '04 Posted: 9/17/2009 2:57 p.m. Jay Cutler has been widely criticized following the first four-interception game of his NFL career Sunday night in Green Bay. But the Bears quarterback helped his young wide receivers post big numbers in the loss to the Packers. Earl Bennett (7 receptions for 66 yards), Devin Hester (4-90) and Johnny Knox (2-82) combined for 238 yards, the most by Bears wide receivers in a game since Nov. 24, 2002 when Marty Booker (10-157), Dez White (8-106), Ahmad Merritt (3-24) and Marcus Robinson (1-3) generated 290 yards in a 20-17 overtime win over the Lions.

The Bears on Thursday signed undrafted rookie free agent Vince Vance, a guard from Georgia who participated in the team's rookie minicamp April 30-May 2 on a tryout basis.

They gave out some interesting grades for some Bears. Several offensive linemen made their top 4 for Week 11: Leno the highest graded OT, Massie 4th: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/933157093095411712 Whitehair the highest graded C: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/933126895025221632 Shaheen the top rated TE: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/933096774763294720 Josh Sitton, 3rd highest G: https://twitter.com/PFF/status/933089394788937728 DI Mitch Unrein, 81.0 overall grade and highest rated defender https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-r...hicago-bears-24 I have no clue how they grade, but it is clear that they apply no context to…

1 We fire Lovie and the staff 2. We signed CB LeQuan Lewis and let DJ Moore go Lewis is bigger and faster and with special teams ability as a return man. 3. We sign Martellus Bennett TE (can catch & block)and cut Davis and Spaeth who were not good at either 4. We sign Jermon Bushrod LT to replace Webb and move Webb to RT 5. We re-sign Melton & Collins at DT and cut Toeaina 6 We re-sign Bowman in case Hayden leaves(nothing major here)still looking for help at this position 7. We sign Turk McBride just in case Idonije and Okoye dont come back (played for the Chiefs) http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...93-9efbe2fad27e …

I have to start this giving Bear Sox a little credit after I read a comment he made... I'm sure at least some of you are Madden geeks, like myself. Heck, I'm so bad that I only own a system for only that game. Once I started playing in college, I couldn't stop. My question to those of you who are in need of help, like me, is do you do any of the following: 1. Update your roster to the latest team, creating whoever you need? 2. Play with the Roster as if you were GM and create your own line-up making trades,etc that you'd like in a dream scenario? 3. Go for broke and create either an all-time Bears team or the '85 Bears team? As there's not …

Last year at this time I was giving JA all the praise in the world, and I still believe the 2006 draft was what you expect & hope for from you general managerevery year. The top 5 players (Danieal Manning, Devin Hester, Dusty Dvoracek, Jamar Williams, Mark Anderson) if healthy could all be starting, and you have a bon-a-fide superstar in the mix in Hester. As great as 2006 was, 2007 was awful. It's seriously made me wonder what the hell JA was thinking: #1 TE Greg Olsen--Helluva a player, but Matt Millen could have even made this pick. Angelo lucked out in what was arguably our greatest need, fell this far due to the fact so many teams drafted TE's the year …

not a good sign but i did see on twitter the interview went bad.

during preseason? I loved the guy for 4 years but hes just going thru the motions anymore.. its a a shame.....

...Between Trestman and Lovie...? I'll start with draft choices and free agents from Emery within the respective years. How about the balls to start two rooks on the right side? There's more but I want to see your thoughts! I like what I'm seeing and hearing about the new staff.

He needs to sit down with Marinelli and look at these two websites: This is one of the ways in which the Bears' defense gets exposed http://smartfootball.com/passing/how-do-yo...-count-the-ways This is almost exactly how the Lions got their second passing TD: http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle...the-dig-pattern

how much room is there to really go after free agents? there will be some interesting players out there.

It wouldnt surprise me since Angelo wanted him the whole time, but it seems we picked a guy with injuries or offfield issues at every pick?
