Bearstalk

Espn radio in Chicago is reporting that Ja Marcus Webb was carted off the field at practice but there is no word of if he is injured or not.

Was checking out another website and caught a glimpse of an interesting topic of discussion. With the possibility of C. Johnson (Tennessee) entering the trade market, should the Bears consider loooking at it with Forte as their "bait"? My vote is NO as I am a fan of Forte's and like his long term value. I see Johnson similar to A. Peterson (Vikings one) where he is a different style runner that will probably hit a wall soon. I don't see Peterson lasting a lot longer...at his pace. Forte on the other hand has not only been, injury free, but improved himself this year physically. And he has other intangibles (receiver out of the backfield) that are good to have.…

Well the Bears look good. And it appears they are going to be deep. Some of these UDFA's are pretty good. Going to be hard picking who stays and who goes.

Remind me again how the whole phenomenon of everyone cheering while he sings it starts again?

After giving the loss some time, I'm ready for a rant. I'm not doing this out of anger, at least right now not out of anger. Talk to me later in the season, and that may change! But, there are just some things that I need to rant about for a moment and get it out of my system. Much of which, many of us have already mentioned. A good lot of posters/viewers here will probably not agree with me or call me negative, but just be warned...I will be critical. But, I will also mention some positives... So, here I go mouthing off again... 1. Martz - WTF? Seriously, this guy is out of freaking control. He is a loose canon that has not only been given the keys to the …

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...rn-their-checks Great observation...maybe Tice should too!!!

He had a huge game and it is clear he is Cutler's favorite target. He just needs to stay healthy. Peace

Who should: Tillman, Urlacher, Peppers, Forte, Mannelly, and Briggs. Who will: Urlacher, Forte, Peppers, and Briggs. Ultimately, other teams' fans won't see the picks there for Tillman so they won't vote him in, and for some reason, Mannelly has never made a Pro Bowl. Thoughts?

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...medium=referral Looks like the team will be without Moore this weekend after spraining his ankle in practice. Graham may fill the Nickle role which, IMHO, he did pretty good in last week. Speaking of Moore. Read he was fined for the dust up with Stafford. Hope there is more to come, all things being equal. And looks like OT Jordan Black could be signed next week. Not bad.

He made two critical mental mistakes (KC and Denver). I'll take Bell over him as a backup. Peace

I was just on Facebook and a Chicago thing I am comnected to call Chicsgo Hoody threw an interesting idea out there for the next GM Da Bears should hire, Not sure it would happen however, I kind of like the idea of bringing back Da Coach as the GM. Imagine the intensity around Halas Hall with Da' Coach back in charge of something so important. Something tells me Lovie would not last the 2012 season and who knows who Da Coach would bring in to take over. Just something to dream about in my opinion. What do you think?

http://www.chicitysports.com/2012/01/07/ch...nd-mock-drafts/ Do you agree with the areas of concern? Who do you want us to draft?

According to PFT there is a possiblity that SH could be a cap hit. Old , but could he be Ruben Brown?

Apparently, Wimbley was the Bears top target in 2011 FA. However, he was resigned by the Raiders prior to the Bears getting a chance. This is pure McClure and the speculation is the Bears will be high on him again this year. They think he's the perfect compliment opposite Peppers. Probably will cost between 5-7M a year. I know we've talked about him a lot but I figure at this point, he deserves his own thread. I assume he will be release by the Raiders shortly!

Since we got Marshall....I think our focus in FA should be with Nicks from the Saints and Winston from the Texans. With those two we could have a great Oline for Cutler. Some same Winston is a RT...so put himthere and move Gabe to the left. I would be better than Webb right? So where does Nicks play LG..then move Williams to RG...let them (Spencer,Williams) fight it out. Or you can line then up this way...sure will be better than last years line!!! Winston - Nicks - Garza - Williams - Carimi Carimi - Nicks - Garza - Williams - Winston

There is news that arguably the worst OT in the league has signed with the Seahawks.Have fun Matt Flynn.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfp-...all_for_nothing This is hilarious, to think that no one contacted the Dolphins about Marshall except for the Bears. I can think of at least 5-6 teams that would've taken the "risk". The best part is that Miami would have just released him. That would've created an even bigger firestorm and would've been a horrible move. The Dolphins would still be on the hook for the rest of the guaranteed money and would've had a residual cap hit. That would've went over really well in Miami. It seems like Ross is just trying to save face and show how good of a negotiator management is by getting 2x 3rd rounders for someone th…
