Bearstalk

What the hell do I do with my Sunday nights now?? Go to bed early?

As per chicagobears.com: LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Seven players who were waived by the Bears during final cuts Saturday where placed on the team’s eight-man practice squad Sunday. Brett Basanez and Johan Asiata were both signed to the Bears practice squad on Sunday. The group includes quarterback Brett Basanez, defensive end Ervin Baldwin, defensive end Joe Clermond, guard Johan Asiata, fullback Will Ta’ufo’ou, cornerback Woodny Turenne and center Donovan Raiola. Basanez completed 15 of 26 passes for 221 yards with two touchdowns, three interceptions and a 71.6 passer rating in the preseason. The former Northwestern star spent the previous three seasons…

Robbie Gould has been "money" for the Bears most of his career. Now Gould is kicking in some money to assist a local youth football team make a trip for a game in Miami. The American Youth Football Organization national champion Naperville Patriots, a group of 12-, 13- and 14-year-olds, are scheduled to play a team from Texas led by Deion Sanders on the Saturday before the Super Bowl. When anticipated funding from the NFL for hotel rooms in Miami fell through at the last minute, Gould immediately kicked in $20,000 to help defray the unexpected costs for the 27 players and their families. "Robbie said, 'Not a problem, I will take care of it.' I couldn't thank him…

If the Bears promote from in, Hoke should be the man. Check out his bio. Haugh says he is definately an in your face coach which should make many of you happy. http://www.chicagobears.com/team/coach.asp?coach_id=28 If he is promoted they could promote Gill Byrd who is currently the asst. defensive backs coach. Peace

Who do you feel could be the "sleeper" in this years draft? I ask because I came across this article about DE Da'Shawn Hand, Alabama, and I am thinking he could indeed be an interesting prospect. I know a few of you follow Alabama & NCAAF so I was curious as to your take on this guy, do you think he could be a hidden gem? Is there a player you think will "fly under the radar" of NFL scouts and make an impact in the NFL?

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1844691...r-bill-musgrave He might be someone to seriously think about as the OC. I am not sure if I am sold on Loggains.

That the Chicago Bears picked up: QB Nick Hill, WR Curtis Hamilton, FB Russ Weil, QB Caleb Hanie, K Shane Longest UDFA Tracker Does anyone ele have any link that might be better? (I love the name of the kicker we brought in!)

Here's more to the story.. http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/giants/20...mas-hangs-em-up Talk about coming out of left field.. Looks like Sanzenbacher or perhaps that Summers kid might make the team after all.

They just had his press conference on the SCORE and he talked about playing all phases of special teams. Boers and Bernstein commented that he looks like a linebacker. Hub Arkush commented on a rumor that he might be Urlacher's eventual replacement. Here's how I look at it: One of our greatest areas of need was a situational pass rusher. We haven't had that since Mark Anderson's rookie year. In his rookie year, if he can fill that role, ratchet up double-digit sacks, won't that be pretty damn good?

Schefter just reported it. That means we're going for a CB very soon.

He tells us what we already knew...they sucked. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...rs-history.html

Interesting to see after the fact. Probably puts to bed any sense that the Cowboys would have taken Long over Frederick. http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2013/5/30/4...e-7-round-board

This was commented on earlier during another thread. The thought of Cutler moving out of the pocket might actually make better sense. He seemed to do better while in Denver doing this. I don't think Cutler is made to be a pocket passer. Although Jason always thought Cutler HAD to run I always was of the opinion he chose to be more mobile. With Trestman it really isn't all that much a stretch since Steve Young, who was coached by Trestman, was pretty successful as a mobile QB. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...1104-story.html

Anyone from a small school? Who missed 8 or more games in 2013? Step on up

Is this the Jordan Lynch rule??? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap300000038...s-to-10-players Peace

http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/...ok/Default.aspx Wont be immediate. But is expected

Some people in my life think I have intuition, which leads me to being called a psychic, or if I misspelled that( psycho.) I think we trade down with Jacksonville and get 33 and 64 with our first rounder. Jacksonville will trade up to grab a QB they covet. 33-Arthur Brown/LB 50-David Amerson/CB 64-Brian Winters/OG 117-Akeem Spence/DT 153-Khail Holmes/)C 188-Jasper Collins/WR

Here is a link from Windy City Gridiron, a lot of interesting trades to land more picks. I like it, dont like the QB pick, should have went for one of the good prospects in the spot they picked Martin.(before OL signings.) http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2016/3/31...ition-3-31-2016

I’m a softie for stories like this. Seems appropriate for the holiday season. Encouraging to see so many members of the team to help push the positive juju for this boy.

MJD was a very solid NFL RB, I have no clue why he is in NFL media on the official website posting a mock like this: https://www.nfl.com/news/maurice-jones-drew-2025-nfl-mock-draft-1-0-jets-land-travis-hunter-bears-broncos-raiders-pick-rbs I couldn't even get out of the top 10. He has Hunter going 7th AFTER McMillan, then with Graham and Warren on the board (among others), he has the Bears taking Henderson at 10 as RB2. Seriously, this has to be for clicks, otherwise, this is embarrassing.
