Bearstalk

Two years after I started watching Bears football games, the longtime coach decided to re-retire and turn the reigns over to a first time head coach and his defensive coordinator. The resulting season was an injury riddled underacheiving season for the team. The star player got injured and the starting QB got injured and on the last game of the season a game in which if the Bears won they had a chance at the playoffs and in the 4th qtr an interception was thrown in the endzone to end the Bears chances. The year was 1968, the star player was Gayle Sayers who suffered a season ending knee injury(see Brian's Song), the starting QB was Virgil Carter who had replaced Jack…

@RapSheet: The #Cowboys and DC Rod Marinelli have reached an agreement on a contract for him to stay, source said. Big one for Dallas.

Anyone see the twitter message from Bennett to Kyle Long? Marty to Long on twitter "why are you worried about who is following you on twitter? More important shit is happening in world than Kyle Long's tweets. I don't need this form of social currency maybe you do. If a follow from me is going to make you feel wealthier then u need to get out more. I prefer our day to day interactions in person. But that's just me. You have my number. Stop the bullshit." Not sure what caused Marty to tweet this. I hope there isn't a real locker room problem. As for the tweet, why tweet this and complain about social media on social media. Stupid. I love that he…

Only played 3 games, but if you look at his raw tools, off the charts. Big time arm, big body, good athlete. Dude reminds me a bit of Cam. Obviously you are going purely off the measurables and interview since there isn't a lot of film on him but he'd be the type of guy I'd be intrigued out in the 3rd-4th (no idea where he is pegged and my guess is once teams see him throw 80 yards down the field he'll climb up draft boards).

@adamjahns: “@ZachZaidman: Kevin Turks is out as #Bears director of pro personnel.” Ryan Pace starts shaking up the front office. Given the whiffs we have had on the FA front (including the mistakes we have made on our own guys), doesn't surprise me

If word gets out that he's open to coming to the NFL, there's my top HC choice. Think he'd be the next Pete Carroll.

I don't think I would want him as a HC, but he was pretty good as a DC in BUF. What do you think of Schwartz as DC? https://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/554799192447934464

If the Bears want him they better act fast, Jets and Falcons bringing him in on a 2nd interview.

So I'm sitting at the Kona airport waiting for my connection to Honolulu and had some time to think. Dick LeBeau has resigned from the Steelers but said he doesn't plan on retiring. I know he's old but doesn't seem to age. What if be was interested in being a HC? I like that he's been around awhile so he has street cred and might attract some good young eventual coordinator prospects. Most here loved Cowher and the two of them spent some quality time together. What if?

Per David Haugh. Peace

Just thought i'd reiterate the obvious...

https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/554307516868595712 I heard early reports that he was not interested, but that was before the Ravens were eliminated. I would not be opposed to him, and like it was mentioned in another thread, he does have ties to Cutler/Marshall from Denver.

I have mentioned my opinion on players on other posts, but might as well put it all in one spot. offense: QB Cutler, he is who he is, a 15-20 rated QB prone to TOs. I think the only reason he will be around is because there is not much in options. Fales, anybody here think he is a future star? I dont RB-Carey, he may have some valve going forward, but I dont think he will ever be a star. Forte is a 30 year old star, but anybody think he will still be playing at a high lever 3 years from now? TE- Bennett is an above average player ready to turn 29, we have nothing b…

https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/554261179564978177 I wish they still had Orton, it would be interesting to see what Orton can do in Trestman's system if he is hired as OC.

Just now getting to listen to some of these inteviews like Pace on ESPN 1000, and the Score. Listening to Briggs was interesting, and gave some insight into the issues that plagued the Bears under Tresman and Emery. Firstly saw no future with team if Trestman and Emery were still there. That there were things that Trestman did that made the players scratch their heads, like having to fight for team captains, vs what Trestman wanted a rotating captain system. Lack of discipline, back biting, distractions, lack of focus on football especially the timing of certain distractions. Lack of control did sound like the inmates were running the asylum. Many things …

was Garza better at G or C? The reason I ask, I thought its been mentioned that he was better at G. Why not Move Long to RT, have Mills as a back up and put Garza back at G. Then draft or sign a Center. Wouldn't that make the Oline a whole lot better, that is if Garza would be capable at performing well at G. The Bears will get Slauson back. RT- Long RG- Garza C- player to be named LG- Slauson LT- Bushrod or swap Long and Bushrod........Maybe Im wrong but Long was drafted to one day be a T.

The interesting thing is the trades we made Trade: #12 pick, 2nd in ’15 and 7th in ’15 for Bears #7 pick Trade: #18 pick, 3rd in ’15 and 5th in ’16 for Bears #12 pick and 6th in ’15 with the picks: #18- #18 – Chicago Bears (f/KC) – Alvin Dupree – DE – Kentucky This team has the look of entering a rebuilding phase. For that they need draft picks, which is why they traded back. The Chicago Bears stop to scoop up Alvin Dupree who is a gifted pass rusher that can become a complete defensive end if he gets stronger. #39 – Chicago Bears – Denzel Perryman – ILB – Miami (Fl.) Undersized but good range with keen instincts, hitting ability an…
