I know I have said this before. If one can't be positive at the start of training camp I think it will only go down hill as the season goes on. But I don't understand why this team has not gotten a true LT no matter the quality just as a camp body. They have a bunch at almost every position but not one LT that has played a game or even taken a snap in the reg. season at the position. What am I missing? OK you'r going to wait till camp cuts and then pay more for those who get cut, They should of signed someone long ago. Before they signed Butt, Hardy etc.

So I sent a simple email to the Mr. Hicks care of the Bears a few weeks ago, just telling him that he has become one of my favorite players in the past 60 years. I enjoy watching him and his interviews and told them I thought he seem like just a big guy having fun. In the mail today was an autographed photo. For an old fart it made me feel like a kid and made my day.

4.45 40yrd at 6'6 251lbs Any takers? Opinions?

Much of this has been hit upon, so forgive my rant... 1. WTF w/ stopping running? Forte was on fire, then we ge pass happy. Martz better figure this out in 2 weeks. 2. Why does Smith do things that constantly piss me off? THe time out... Just when I want to give the guy a chance, he does something to annoy me. 3. Our O line was garbage. Omiyale was blown up more than Quagmire's sex doll... Webb too. And Garza... Just piss poor as we watch Cutler get pounded at least 6 times. 4. Jay, please throw the freaking ball away sometimes. You know your line is ass...play smarter. Also, no more lame duck passes in the red zome that even I could pick…

After a day of pondering the game... 1. Hester is such a joy to watch! So glad he's back taking kickoffs like so many of us have been screaming for... He is a difference maker there. 2. Cutler had a big boy game. He made a bad mistake in the red zone, but made up for it with pretty much flawless decision making other than that. The playaction to Kellen was a thing of beauty. 3. The D looks good. They are oportunistic. Pretty much the pedigree that Smith was hired on. I still worry about the big gaffe by the safteies that led to a TD and a PI. I still would like a little more pressure on the QB... But overall, these guys are playing good defensi…

Manning to only play a half, and Jacobs is inactive. Thoughts?

Per Twitter NFL - Jason LaConfora Dont know much about him, but starter for 4 years Will be released after not accepting deal restructuring this year $6M

Zach Zaidman Verified account ‏@ZachZaidman #Bears OL coach Dave Magazu says C Hroniss Grasu is now over 300 pounds. The team wanted him to get bigger.

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...admires-jeffery The Marshal Jeffrey combo could be deadly. There are not many teams with two shut down corners that can hang with these two when it comes to height.

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…

Packers | Father arrested for forcing son to wear Packers jersey Thu, 17 Jan 2008 00:13:19 -0800 The Associated Press reports Mathew Kowald was arrested Monday, Jan. 14, after restraining his 7-year-old son for an hour with tape and taping a Green Bay Packers jersey onto him. Kowald's wife told authorities about the incident. Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until Wednesday, Jan. 16, when he pleaded no contact, paid a $186 fine and was released. Kowald's wife has filed a restraining order. Kowald told the Portage Daily Register that the incident started as a joke. His son challenged him by saying he wouldn't root for the Packers. Kowald said the boy was…

3. Chicago Bears Kiper: Malik Hooker, S, Ohio State | Watch highlights Safety is a clear need. I had gone with Jamal Adams here, but Hooker is more of a center fielder-type with deep range and great speed. He has some Ed Reed in him as a playmaker. In his first season as a starter, he had seven interceptions in 2016, including three pick-sixes. McShay: Jonathan Allen, DL, Alabama | Watch highlights Stick with the tape on Allen. He's still our No. 2 overall player, even after mediocre workouts. Allen's quickness and power help him constantly push the pocket as a pass-rusher, and he had 22.5 sacks in the past two seasons. The Bears could use a solidifying forc…

From NFL .com I seen this kid play , He looked dang good and would be a tremendous pick up for the Bears to spell Forte. .

The Titians are a good football teams this year, but they can be beaten. We have to get them out of there mind set of being 8-0. We have to first stop their running game, which we can do sinse we have been good against the run all year. But the main key this game is to move the LB'S back from the line and let them play normal. This will take away some of those short passing lanes that are killing us. Also with the WR the Titians have we need to play more bump and run and two deep double the outside WR. This takes away timing and free passing lanes. The second thing is the Dline needs to rush Collins....he is no V. Young when it comes to running. Now the offense needs…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ Bears’ hope for Hester: Catch more passes, return fewer kickoffs Posted by Michael David Smith on April 10, 2012, 7:39 AM EDT Devin Hester may be the best return man in NFL history, but that doesn’t mean that’s his primary role in Chicago. The Chicago Tribune connects the dots with the addition of Eric Weems and Devin Thomas, two players with experience as kickoff returners, and notes that last year Johnny Knox averaged more yards per kickoff return than Hester, and says it all adds up to the Bears making Hester an integral part of the offense at wide receiver and cutting down on his kickoff returns. …

Looks like we are really going to have roster spot battles this year in camp for the starting Oline and Dline positions, as where you pretty much knew who was going to be where last year. But something is in the ari this year!! I say the bold ones are locks and everyone else..........well lets go training camp!!!!!! AT DT you have these 7 players in the mix. Cameron, Ronnie 6-2 304 Old Dominion McCargo, John 6-2 307 North Carolina State Melton, Henry 69 DL 6-3 295 Texas Miller, Jordan 96 DT 6-2 315 Southern Paea, Stephen 92 DT 6-1 300 Oregon St. Pressley, DeMario 68 DT 6-3 301 North Carolina State Toeaina, Matt 75 DT 6-2 308 Oregon …
