Bearstalk

I know as a dad one of my top responsibilities was to ensure my son grows up loving the blue and orange!

I know it's short notice, but Bennett will be on the Pete Holmes Show in 30 min (11pm) on TBS. Replay airs at 12:30. Not sure if anyone else watches the show but I personally find him hilarious. Holmes + Bennett should be gold. For those that miss the show I'll try to find a link tomorrow.

Just heard on the radio...

More good news. OTAs and no hitting but still to have a bigger, stronger, and apparently quicker Wilson out on the field with Marshall and Jeffrey could turn into a great combination for us. http://espn.go.com/chicago/nfl/story/_/id/...r-chicago-bears

Was just thinking about how we have great optimism each year for our team. Over the last decade, has any team had better propaganda than what comes out of Halas Hall? Some years I'm full on kool aid, others I call BS. This year, I'm excited!

It is only OTAs... http://www.csnchicago.com/bears/jon-bostic...rs-no-1-mlb-job

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...b4-8f804c803c64 “The Bears need safety help, and Vereen has the potential to be the answer for them,” Brandt writes. “He’s a very good athlete with speed and strength who started at both safety and corner for the University of Minnesota in 2013."

This offseason I'm most curious about our new defensive scheme. Reading this article, along with Bostic's quotes, makes me wonder what differences we'll be seeing after a nearly a decade of the Tampa 2. Some of the board members have experience or knowledge of football well beyond my limitations. I'd like to hear thoughts on what changes we'll be seeing in our run fits (to use their term), or should be looking for players to do as I expect execution won't be perfect early on. Any ideas on what our LB assignments are now versus the old "get in your gap" of the Lovie 2? http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...ml#.U5Mu2MY8icM

Good Morning All, A quick question...does anyone know how to find out quickly all of the players who have worn a given number on the Bears? I have a number 20 jersey, and I know Steltz wears it now, and I believe Thomas Jones and Thomas Sanders have worn it in the past, but with the net being what it is, I would have thought I could quickly go somewhere and find a list... Google has not resulted in anything helpful.

Make sure you are sitting with a bottle of something to ease the many emtions that will flow http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap200000035...-bears-get-an-f

If we get it I will be there(I dont have a life and I do stupid stuff) Who's going?

All I can say

Hey Ladies and Gents , I will be heading down to training camp in July. I've not been down there in along time. Has anything changed much ? As far as, fields , seating , parking, prices etc. I'm really looking forward to this year.

Since lemon and a few others already started off on the conversation in other thread, I figured, why not go all in... Who is on your all-time Bears team? This assume that the guys are at their peak form while on the Bears and playing right now. Here's the list you can copy/paste: ************************************ QB - RB - FB - WR1 - WR2 - WR3 - TE - LT - LG - C - RG - RT - DE1 - DE2 - DT1 - DT2 - OLB1 - OLB2 - MLB - CB1 - CB2 - S1 - S2 - K - P - KR/PR - ************************** I'll reply for my picks.

Sounds like the D line gained some insight. "Stephen Paea coming out & saying he's learned more in 3 weeks than his whole NFL career should speak volumes about this new coaching staff" Also seen Brock Vereen got first team reps at FS and looked good. Conte better be paying attention.

Heard on NFL Network that Bennett and Houston had "a little scuffle" during OTAs today. Video didn't show much but Bennett looked pretty ticked. Probably nothing but worth keeping note of. Kinda reminiscent of the "12th power ranking" discussion we just had here recently.

With the draft complete, let's now look at the schedule and see how this is going to play out. To me the first half of the season is going to be what makes or breaks this team. There are some really tough games, but if we can get thru at 4-4 or 5-3 at the bye, it looks like we can make a sustained post season run in the second half. Week 1 - BILLS (WIN 1-0) - Bills used a lot to get Watkins, but they still have QB issues Week 2 - AT 49ERS (SUN NIGHT) (LOSS 1-1) - This is going to be a tough one in their new park, we can actually win this but right now they have the edge Week 3 - AT JETS (MON) (WIN 2-1) - Another tough game, but I think all around we are a bette…
