Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 24m Pending a physical #Bears expected to sign TE Leonard Pope. Another end zone threat to throw out there. Speculation the Eldridge is being cut for Pope. Trying to cover a 2 TE set with Marshall, Jeffery, M. Bennett and Pope would be awfully difficult in the red zone.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000022...ofter-last-year It was said in a positive way in that he's saying he so much better this year. The article linked above is pretty good. But in the video in that article, about 1:10 in, they mention that Cutler said "Not everyone on the team has bought into Trestman yet." I'm not sure what the context was but that's horrible if true. Let me know if you've heard discussions about Cutler's comment and what, if anything, explains it.

One each for training camp, Trestman (kinda), and Emery: http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle...s-training-camp http://www.grantland.com/blog/the-triangle...-coach-rankings http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/953119...ager-philosophy

To kick off the season, I threw together an official TalkBears shirt! http://teespring.com/bromance And yes, I know it's hilarious.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap100000022...red-lovie-smith It was all about Jay.

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- Chicago Bears defensive end Corey Wootton left practice Thursday with a hip injury and is being evaluated. Going into his fourth season, Wootton had seven sacks in 16 games last year. wft is going on with all the injuries? They all need a shot of penicillin to get rid of that injury bug that is hanging in the air at training camp.

At this point we've lost our starting LT and replaced him with Jonathan Scott. Fair enough we keep Webb on the right side where we want him to play this season. Then we lose Jonathan Scott and we replace him with...Eben Britton at LT? At this point I see that Webb is fading from our top 3 OTs. Not saying he's lost his job yet but if versatility is what Kromer wants among his top 7 Olinemen (he said so yesterday) then at some point among these injuries if Webb was one of our top 3 OTs he'd have been slid over to LT for a day or two while Britton, or Scott, took snaps at RT. That didn't happen and Kromer and Co. decided they preferred to see what Britton could do…

I will not deny it, I'm elated with the direction the Bears are going with front office, coaching and personnel; I have high expectations for this season. http://blog.chicagobears.com/2013/07/31/of...ig-in-red-zone/ Offense comes up big in red zone Posted by Larry Mayer on July 31, 2013 – 5:45 pm The Bears defense boasts several talented Pro Bowlers. But the unit could have used a step ladder or an NBA power forward during a red-zone drill late in Wednesday’s practice. Taking advantage of a size differential, Jay Cutler threw touchdown passes to 6-3 receiver Alshon Jeffery, 6-4 receiver Brandon Marshall and 6-6 tight end Marte…

Even tho he isnt on the team anymore this is still hilarious! And about ribs! Anthony Adams Ribs Rap

I think anything negative about the Packers is Bears related and belongs on this site! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1720418...s-training-camp

Bears | D.J. Williams carted off Chicago Bears LB D.J. Williams (undisclosed) was carted off the field Wednesday, July 31, with an undisclosed injury. 2013-07-31 08:11:05 | Source: WSCR670 - Zach Zaidman Read more: http://www.kffl.com/gnews.php?id=863289-be...f#ixzz2adZ4pYTL Looks like we will be seeing more of the rookies now. Hopefully it isn't anything serious

I've gone ahead and set it to 1PPR. I also have it set for the Commish to review trades. I'm figuring I'll rubber stamp anything that seems reasonable, but bring it up to the group if anything seems weird. You can review all the settings and scoring here: http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/189065/settings Let me know if anything looks like it needs to be changed. Some questions I have for everyone else on the settings: 1. Draft Time: Sat Aug 17 4:00pm CDT - Does this time work for most everyone? 2. Live Draft Pick Time: 1 Minute, 30 Seconds - Is 1:00 too short? Thoughts? 3. Roster Positions: QB, WR, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, W/R, K, DEF, B…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...achilles-tendon Today Turk Mc Bride went down with a torn Achilles and maybe lost for the year, Also Bushrod suffered a calf strain and might be out for a few days

1. Corey Wootton looked great. I would not be shocked if he has 10+ sacks this year. 2. Henry Melton looked great as well. 3. J'Marcus Webb is horrible. On the first 4 non-run plays in the 11-on-11 drills, he gave up 3 sacks. Like bowlingtwig said, this has to become a competition. Scott did fairly well last year. 4. Kyle Long is a freak. He's strong and exceptionally quick. Now the question is, can he block consistently? That wasn't the issue today, but it remains a question due to how raw he truly is still. 5. I know it's practice, but Bushrod looks damn good. I didn't even notice Peppers out there. 6. Alshon Jeffery went from 12% body fat to 8% and it shows.…

Guess who is taking all 1st team snaps at RT. What happened to having a true competition at that position like so many were on my case saying there would be. According to brad Biggs its all Webb at that position And Scott is only taking snaps with 2nd trk or when Webb needs a breather. This is not a competition. I hope this staff knows what its doing cuz if webb blows again and gets jay hurt again there's going to be a lot of pissed off ppl for not even allowing someone to at least push Webb. What's wrong with opening things up at a position where no one has earned it.

Trestman said today that there wasn't any mental errors today. As opposed to yesterday there were quite a few. This could be huge if true. Mental errors destroyed us last yr.
