Scary news, hopefully, they can save his leg. Artery damage is no joke.

Link, sun times.

I cant believe there hasnt been any action taken to try and shore up the extremely large gaps. Are we waiting for the 3rd preseason game cuts or what? ta what would it take to get Jason Peters maybe? hell with the way we draft id give up all our picks.. somethings gotta be done or we wont score a friggin touchdown all season

Here is an interesting nugget from Pat Kirwan. Interesting to see what the players think about Orton... http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=4759

Changes I would make for next yr: 1 - Olsen moves to WR. Let's face it, he cannot block and I don't want to see him try anymore. Thayer was saying Kellen Davis has improved. Keep working with him and draft another blocking TE. 2 - Draft a blocking FB or get the best one on the FA market. They come cheap and can normally play well even at the twilight of their career. McKie is gone. 3 - Sign at least one o-lineman in FA. Not a project but a proven vet that is considered in the top 3 available. Draft 1 to 2 more. Get rid of Pace and get road graters. 4 - Move Williams to LT. Lose Pace. Tell Omiyale he is competing for RT (Do not simply give hi…

good riddins' D Manning.... Thoughts?

Kinda forgot about this guy, but the talent is there. From the looks of it he has a very poor work ethic and that is what kept him out of the league last year. Bears WR coach Curtis Johnson seems like a guy who might be able to get the best out of him because he won't put up with his BS. Maybe the year off will be the kick in the ass he needs and he'll come back hungry and willing to put his talent to good use. In his 2nd to last year he had 971 yards and in his last year he had 8 TDs, so again, there is some talent there, all that remains to be seen is if he is willing to use it.

I was bored and started looking ahead to the FA available next off-season and I came up with some #1 WRs and some potential OLineman: WR: Colston Bowe Garcon (Could be a numer one...I think he's passed Reggie Wayne) OLine: Kalif Barnes T D'Brickeshaw Ferguson T Derrick Dockery G With us having so much under the cap, I know Forte and Urlacher will take a pretty hefty chunk. I think signing 1 WR and 1 OL (either T or G) along with a drafting at least 2 Oline and 1 WR will benefit this team now. That's what we all want to see.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,4087922.story Max Komar??? IR??? Practice Squad??? WTF? I'm sorry I'm usually not this critical but are you joking? You have a guy that is playing his mind out (Forte) and is still waiting to get a decent contract... Despite it and the team is once again leading in sacks (gotten) and you sign a FA, currently IR practice squad guy? Angelo you are a baffooon.

1. Joseph Barksdale, LSU, OT ---Barksdale projects as a RT in the NFL which would be my biggest need. I'm not willing to give up on Chris Williams yet. 2. Jeremy Beal, Oklahoma, DE ---Beal has been pretty good this year and we need help from Peppers. Anderson has been bad and Idonije isn't much better. As much as I'd rather see them take an OG or C, getting to QB's is pretty damn important. 3. Jon Moffitt, Wisconsin, OG ---Moffitt is a mauler and Garza has been terrible. BEARS TRADE TOMMIE HARRIS THE GIANTS FOR THEIR 3RD ROUND PICK 3. Stephen Paea, Oregon State, DT ---Paea is an underachiever so far but a steal in round 3.

Per an NFP piece written by his former agent, Ricky Williams came very close to declaring for the draft after his junior year. The Bears reportedly preferred Williams to Curtis Enis, and this agent thinks they would have drafted Ricky had he declared in 1998. ...so instead of going to Ditka in New Orleans, he could have easily been a Bear. What do you guys think?

According to Fangio there may be some depth on our roster. I've somewhat written off our depth at safety but there is a glimmer of hope there that Bush finally knows where he should be going. RRH has buiked up over 290lbs and it sounds like he's much more comfortable inside. We'll see when the pads come in next month. Between RRH and Bullard I think we'll be ok at DE even if replacing Unrein isn't a high bar. https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/talking-points-five-things-learned-from-bears-defensive-coaches/

kffl.com reports that Hanie will be on the 53 man roster. Glad to see it. Now, what about the Oline?

Looking at the way this team has evolved the last 5 seasons, I feel it is in a transition phase. The transition phase is both mental and physical. The mental side of the coin belongs to the defense. I see a defense that is no longer willing to impose its will on the other team. It used to be the other team would choke, kowing we were going to make the play that would beat them. Now, we are reduced to the QB in the opposing huddle saying, "we got this". Our veterens need to step up and become what they once were. If you look at the ages of our highly paid vets, they are far from through physically. The key to our staff and players is finding a way to get that…

it's time to clean house starting at the top and working your way down to the parking attendants. 1. the entire coaching staff is DONE. i have had my fill after watching this unbelievable performance today. it is so inept i can hardly find words to express just how bad it is. no matter how good or bad our players are talent wise this game showed just how really incredibly bad coaches they are. it was like lifeless animation watching this team play uninspired football today. lovie... just what are you watching out there? please realize i don't need a lunatic coach like ditka by any means at all, but this poor excuse of a HC is in freakin limbo!!! after seeing th…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ The Bears announced they had agreed to terms with former third-round pick Lorenzo Booker, who has been with the Dolphins and Vikings.To make room for Booker on the roster, they released running back Alvester Alexander, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Wyoming.We just paid Forte, we signed Bush, and bell signed his RFA tender....so why do we need Booker in camp?

With Blanchard release it will be interesting to see if Edwards or Palmer can be out McCown for roster spots. I am not really comfortable as McCown as the number two.

I hope we aren't about to give him big money. He wasn't really all that great last year. If this is more just bringing a stabilizing veteran who can help teach some young safeties while we clean house, fine, but lets not tie a bunch of money up in Rolle. We should be aiming higher, imo.

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...e-tag-an-option I remember someone questioning if Jay has bought in. Here is a part of this article that kind of talks about it. “I’ve said it before: I’m convinced that Jay is a franchise quarterback,” Emery said. “The rest of that as far as where we are going in the future, we’ll work out that in the offseason. Certainly I’m pleased with Jay. I think he’s grown in certain areas. When he’s been healthy and been on the field this year, he’s been playing at his highest level ever during the course of his career. "I think he’s improved in the leadership area. I think his demeanor has improved. I think the time off…
