Dickerson tweeted it....left practice early...... no updates yet

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-nfl...sources-n412831 Very sad. I always remember how fun Kramer to Conway and Graham was. It didn't last long, but that was a rare aerial attack from the Bears. I hope he can over his depression. I also hadn't realized his 18 year old son had died from a drug overdose. Articles like this are why my kids will watch football, but never play (outside of flag).

Copart49 hasn't rejoined yet. We still have space for 2 more if anyone is interested. Does anyone have times to avoid for the draft? If you work on the weekend, you may have to autodraft, but I'm willing to try and accomodate people as long as it doesn't get too complicated. Looking for feedback guys.

Amos was quietly promoted to practicing with the 1st string. Vereen, after a poor showing against Miami, is back to 2nd string. It appears this will hold through the 2nd preseason game. Jennings had a veteran day off and McManis got his snaps as the first team nickel back. That is the first time McManis has moved into that spot (with the 1st team) and sign the coaches were impressed with his play against Miami. ---------------------- I finally finished watching the Miami game and will just list some observations in no particular order. I didn't see much from Rolle and so I'm still not impressed with him but I hope it's a just a veteran laying …

Can't copy and paste tweets, but it's all over Twitter. Quotes came from Pace. Just a brutal loss. I guess in the broader picture, the Bears aren't winning anything this year anyway, so get this injury cleared up and get him healthy for next year.

Say bye bye to him doing anything this year.. Not a good start for Ryan Pace and his rookie class. I knew something was up the moment camp started. Shin splints do not take this long to heal. The Bears did a terrible job of handling this, too, btw. Day to day my ass.

Alshon better stats and wasnt even. #1 option... he's in store for 40+ Guarantee

Just curious if anyone is watching the game right now? I've seen some stats flash over my Bears app on the phone. Doesn't appear to be a very exciting game. And for what its worth Cutler still hasn't had any turnovers...so far. But his yardage looks short so I'm guessing they're employing more a dink and dunk approach, which I like. Noticed that Miami scored in the first 7 minutes of Q1. I have it set to record tomorrow when it replays on NFL Network. Just thought I'd ask if anyone is watching now and overall thoughts of the performance.

https://cbschicago.files.wordpress.com/2015...-3-51-57-pm.png Some things I notice: - Guard depth does not look good, with Ducasse and someone named Jason Weaver the current backups, though I understand that Ola can play there as well. - Kadeem Carey has an uphill job making this roster with Rodgers and Langford ahead of him. This fits with what I saw last week when I was at training camp. They obviously had a plan with Rodgers and even Langford (saw him out wide blocking on WR screens). Not sure where Carey fits right now. - I like what I saw from Cameron Meredith last week and it looks like right now he's the most highly thought of under the radar WR. We'…

Your guys opinion, I'll stay out of this one, on what you think is going on. Has Cutler finally got it or is the Defense weak enough in the secondary and linebacker to let him to continue on interception free after 11 days?

A couple weeks in and getting ready for our first preseason game. Trying to summarize what I've read about the team so far. Offense: QB: Cutler no INTs or fumbles to date. One would think the addiction withdrawal symptoms would take over sooner than later causing a couple turnovers. Clausen hasn't done much but his reps have been limited so far and he'll get his best practice during the preseason games. Not sure what is going on with Fales but Carden is not an NFL QB. Will we keep two QBs or three? Oline: Bushrod is still Bushrod but on the other side of the line Mills has struggled often in camp. Leno has shown some flashes as a backup but co…

Wells was a 6th round pick in this years draft. Pats are a pretty good drafting team. Wells is freak athlete who, if coached up properly, could be a guy. Runs a 4.4. Came from a damn good Mississippi St. D. Kinda liked Groy, and the move comes with a little surprise after an Ola injury. Guess they still have Leno, Fab, and Grasu/Montgomery as backups (along with Ola when he returns).

Thought we might share them all in one thread. Here are a few to get this started. Please add yours. @ChicagoBears @BradBiggs @ZachZaidman @Rich_Campbell @mikecwright @adamjahns @BobLeGere @bears_insider @ESPNChiBears @CSNMoonMullin @DickersonESPN

Its not just the media that has restrictions but, the fans also. The security was asking fans to not record anything but you can take all the still photos you want. The rumors about Fox being a touch paranoid are true.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports Kevin White (shin splints) will resume running next week. It's the first time we've heard White's mysterious shin injury referred to as "splints." It's a painful injury typically suffered by runners upping their training or going too hard. White must have been ramping up his workouts in anticipation of his first NFL camp. Rapsheet reported earlier Thursday that the reserve/PUP list is a possibility for White, but also that he's "itching to go." We doubt a team would sacrifice its first-rounder's first six games over shin splints. Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter Aug 6 - 1:18 PM http://www.rotoworld.com/sports/nfl/football?r=1

In all his years in Chicago Cutler has had to practice against the Lovie 2 and then for two years again Mel Tucker's toothless version of the Lovie 2. Given his history I won't make a prediction about how much better Cutler will be at protecting the football but I will say that practicing against Fangio's D this camp is giving him the most variety in defensive looks/schemes that he's ever seen in camp. I can't see this hurting Cutler at all, nor the rest of the offense. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...57-21e1bad607a0 "They got after us today," said quarterback Jay Cutler. "They beat us in about every period we had. [Fangio] has done a good job of m…

How long before this guy gets reps with the 1st team at RT? Mills by all accounts has not looked good so far while Leno has seemingly played well when he's gotten a shot at LT (when Bushrod had a day off Sat). I think this coaching staff is far from settled on who our top 5 Oline are and I'm not sure I'd move Long out to RT as everyone else wants to do. We have Montgomery (a career backup C) or Grasu (a rookie) in the middle and I'd much rather have either Center covered by Slauson/Long than Slauson/Ola/Groy/Ducasse. We can help someone like Leno/Mills at RT with Bennett or just have the RBs chip that way too. No matter what we might think nobody really knows how we…

I know there are a good number of posters who enjoy $$$ Leagues in FF Therefore I would assume some might also be interested in a good Pick'em League I use to play every year at a site called 6DaysToSumday I had to skip out for a few years do to time restraints but have signed up for the games this year If anyone is interested it is the best Pick'ems I have seen, a lot of different pools to play I signed up for everything except the team pool (3 players in the weekly pool combine into a team entry) If there are any of you interested in this league and sign up let me know and maybe we can combine for the team pool option Hope this is not …
