Bearstalk

Should be filled by Bellamy and Holmes. Bellamy has shown flashes of 'good' and was consistent in tonight's game. Although Holmes dropped his first two he came back with a nice TD and then a decent ( not awesome) PR. Since Holmes is a low cost low risk signing he more than qualifies for a spot especially with being able to do returns. The Bears should carry two QBs into week 1. I think Fales should be put on the practice squad or cut all together. His release is really ugly and obviously needs a lot of work. At least his accuracy was better than 'Lamezel'.

Who is our KR/PR going into this season? Kind of odd seeing Hester and Weems on Atlanta's stat sheet.

I give Emery credit for setting up some good competition in training camp at DE this year. In watching the first few games I've been impressed with Trevor Scott at times, and the last game Austen Lane made me login and scan the roster list to see who he was. I didn't think much of either when we signed them but they've proven effective in pass rush at times. I won't speak for their run defense as I haven't watched for that as closely. We'll see how this shakes out very soon but players like Washington and Bass are not on solid ground. Not much of a shock with Washington as he did little last year but Bass looked to have a spot on the bench locked up heading into camp…

Is Ryan Mundy even worse than the "Safeties" that were already on the roster. He looks about as lost as McClellin, believe it or not. I don't wanna compare apples and oranges... but look at the way Earl Thomas commands the field. runs down every play hits like a brick, and directs the show. ..

For those looking to get all the Bears games but don't care if you can't watch them live. I just got NFL Game Rewind (works on computers/tablets/phones) and it is awesome. I am actually impressed and it is much better than the NFL Sunday Ticket stream I had last year. Some pretty neat features (Condensed games, Coaches film, archived games, slow mo, etc). Archived games go all the way back to 2009 and you can watch SB games as well. I just watched the GB game from last year. That Boykin TD is still BS in my opinion, that should've been blown dead.

Reynaud and Joe Long have been cut today as well

Why in the living hell is #29 on the field at S? Our Secondary is a disaster. U drafted a guy in the 4th who was a team leader. He can't learn the speed of the NFL watching Ryan Mundy and Adrian Wilson. Let's not bring up y we didn't take a S in the first when the best one was there. But anyway. This defense is a pure disgrace. Look at our LBs..... They make me sick.

These are the guys that will be in the next wave of cuts IMHO. Who do you think it will be? Edwards Turner Roland Robertson Pegues Lynch Long Lattimore Franklin Bellamy

Not shocked about Wilson, but Nate Collins...

What I saw on defense is my biggest concern and that was confusion. The secondary even the LB's looked confused. Is this constant flip flopping with the safeties and LB's really doing any good ? By the third preseason game, shouldn't you know who your starters are ? " jack of all trades and master of none " is what I'm seeing here. Other teams will see this and use the no huddle and to compound this problem. I know they didn't scheme because they wanted to see "mano e mano " to evaluate each player. Well ... they got it and it didn't look so good. Starting with the 1st stringers: defensive DT's had couple of good plays but mostly were either man h…

If the first quarter is any indicator, we're going to see a repeat of last year. The offense is going to have to score 30 ppg to even be in some of these games. I have zero faith in Mel Tucker. Also, Briggs is done. He can't run anymore.

We're a couple weeks away from the start of the season. I'm curious how our division opponents are doing. As I scan around various websites when I find something noteworthy I'll post the link. It'd be nice of others add in as well. Today it is Nick Fairley making headlines for his eating habits. Actually it seems like there is much more going on than just a man who likes to eat. Either way, he's on their second string and on a Dline that lost Willie Young who appears to be a good player so far. For a team that has invested three #1 picks at DT and then DE they are planning on needing to blitz their linebackers a lot more this season to get pressure. I'm go…

Is this the Jordan Lynch rule??? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000038...s-to-10-players Peace

He's certainly handed out more big suspensions during his terms than anyone on record. I guess here's how I see the good and the bad... Good Got a long term collective bargaining agreement with the players that puts a little more balance in the negotiations between teams and players. Seems to have gotten players attentions with all of the suspensions. I'd say the league has cleaned up its act pretty well. Obviously there's always going to be issues just like anywhere in society but overall, I'd say the douche quotient in the league is down from when he took over. Set aside more money for retired players via the last deal. Is dealing with the co…

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2014/...-chicago-bears/ Pretty good read. Some interesting stats I was not aware of (Forte bad at pass blocking).

Since we signed Holmes who do we keep as WR this year? Marshall/Jeffery are a given..but do we keep Holmes, Morgan Williams and hold a spot for Wilson? Then you have Bellamy,Edwards,Herd,Hughes,Moss,Spurlock to round out the WR core. Me IMHO i would go with Marshall/Jeffery,Holmes, Morgan, Williams and Wilson.

Tress Way and Chad Rempel were waived and Darius Reynaud and CB Thompson were signed. So this means that O'Donnell is our new punter and Hartson is the new long snapper unless we bring in someone else. Reynaud is going to be in a battle with Williams, Edwards,Ford,Spurlock and maybe even Holmes for the PR/KR job.But i think Edwards,Ford,Spurlock will be cut. Thompson being brought in is a head shaker IMHO...why do we need him???

Finally Weems got cut, never really understood his roster spot considering he wasnt really good as even a 5th WR
