Bearstalk

All the guys we've taken at tall. Some similarlity to Seattle's structure of tall vs small. 6'3" for White, 6'4" for "Oscar" Goldman (sorry had to throw in a Six Million Dallar Man reference for us old guys...), and 6'3" for Grasu I'll be curious to see if this possible trend continues.

Hey Guys, My extended family and I are going to visit Bears training camp for the first time this year. I'm really excited. Of course as a newbie, I don't know anything about it, how it works, if you have to get there early, need tickets etc? Also, are there any must see or do attractions or restaurants etc in the area? I know some of you guys have a lot of experience in this, so any tips or info are greatly appreciated. Thank you! Kyle

I posted this in the pinned thread. I sent emails to an admin about this but no response so I will post link here: Bearstalk.com Chat Room Still works, we need not to go running to another forum to use their chat room when we already have our own. For some reason it just has not been linked on this site. Maybe my email system is malfunctioning? Maybe a spam filter is snagging my communications? I do not know, but it is frustrating.

Is Arthur Brown the only one so far that has been reported to have a pre draft visit? I cant remember seeing any other names posted. Anybody have anybody else?

Below were what I found most interesting: http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2015/01/07/dur...-gm-cap-issues/ This is code for...cap is going to go up pretty significantly...see my comments later on Cutler, but really this means we could definitely be in a position to take on Cutler's dead money (now...with the assumption we are building more towards 16 / 17). To be frank, if we aren't going to contend and if we add a young QB to the roster, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. We'd have a young QB on the cheap so really outside of the pick going to QB (when it could go elsewhere) we really aren't any different off financially than we would have been a…

First of all Merry Christmas to everyone ! If our Bears continue to win and go into playoffs and play well. ( and who knows the super bowl ) Many teams will look at the bears during this time and just maybe consider they like who we have on our coaching staff. It seems every year winning teams not only lose players but coaches. Martz (head coach ) , Tice ( head coach or Off. cord ) and Toub who deserves to upgraded to DEF. or Off. cord. (somewhere ) job come to mind. You know all three will jump at the chance if offered. My question is how will this affect our Bears ?

INJURY REPORT AND IMPLICATIONS Detroit Lions (0-7) at Chicago Bears (4-3) By Michael Nudo The numbers for Orlovsky have been good (AP Photo/David J. Phillip). BEARS OFFENSEcolor> vs. LIONS DEFENSEcolor> The Bears are hoping to have wide receiver Brandon Lloyd (knee) back in the lineup after the bye week. Lloyd was establishing himself as Kyle Orton’s number one option before he injured his knee. Rookie offensive tackle Chris Williams (back surgery) should have enough practice reps under his belt to be ready to contribute. If they slide him in at all, he’ll face the one player having a decent season for the Lions in Dewayne White (5.5 sacks). The Be…

I LOVE this team, and I can foresee a deep playoff run in our near future, if not a Super Bowl berth. - The offense is clicking on all cylinders. Kyle has gotten us to this point with better-than-game-managing play, and because of that the run will start opening up for us. -The defense is loaded with veterans who will not tolerate playing second-fiddle to the offense, especially after so many years of high-level play and being the pride of Chicago. Read the cover story on www.chicagobears.com today. Tommie Harris and that D-line KNOW they haven't been getting it done. They will not allow it to continue. I believe it has nothing to do with Babich, or Lovie, o…

http://www.chicitysports.com/2009/08/04/cu...rings-optimism/ Article on how Cutler has impacted the Bears so far. Looks at John Clayton's article where he gives the Bears a bunch of love. What do you think about think? Also talks about training camp and how Zachary Bowman is going to be a beast!

If we really had our team together ........coaches.....we should have been in the playoffs last year with a 12-4 record. We lost four games last year and gave away the other six. But its was the first year of the Fox era...so it will pass. Now with who we play this year and some of the guys we picked up I fully believe that we will finish at the worst 10-6 Bold = a loss that we should have won. 1 9/13 vs. GB L 31-23 2 9/20 vs. Ari L 48-23 3 9/27 @ Sea L 26-0 4 10/4 vs. Oak W 22-20 5 10/11 @ KC W 18-17 6 10/18 @ Det L 37-34 (OT) 7 Bye Week 8 11/1 vs. Min L 23-20 9 11/9 @ SD W 22-19 10 11/15 @ StL W 37-13 11 11/22 vs. Den L 17-15 …

The Bears have signed practice squad RB Armando Allen to their active roster. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. they also placed RB Lorenzo Booker on IR and waived LB Patrick Trahan.

Pace admitted that he was trying to trade back into round #1. When this broke, it was around pick #25. I assumed it was for either an o-lineman or edge rusher, the two most glaring holes , which are also the most important next to QB. There were no o-linemen or edge rushers taken at the end of the draft. That means there's a good chance that the guy we were targeting is still available. Any guesses who it might be? If he's still there, I'm sure we are offering a 2nd and 4th rounder to jump up a few spots.

I just now see that the Offical Bears Site is offering for sale the new "Traditions" items mentioned earlier on the forum by another poster. Bears Online Pro Shop Some of my favorites:

From the always reliable profootballtalk.com POSTED 3:52 p.m. EST, March 3, 2008 WOODY GETS WOODY And so it continues for the New York Jets. The team owned by Woody Johnson has signed Lions free-agent tackle Damien Woody to a five-year, $25.5 million contract, according to Adam Schefter of NFL Network. Per Schefter, Woody will receive $11 million in guaranteed money.

Tribune is reporting it is a knee sprain. Bears will know more in another day or two. My personal feeling is he doesn't miss anymore than a week. I wouldn't even be shocked if he could play as early as next week. Sounds like there isn't any ligament damage but until they do the full medical exam after swelling goes down you just never know.

Watson vs Mahomes in KC. Watson wins the game but throws 2 INTs and 1 TD, but runs for 2 more. He ends up with a 77.5 QB Rating. Mahomes only has 54.3% Completion %, throws for 3 TDs, but also has 1 INT and 1 fumble lost. He ends up with a 96.5 QB Rating. Two of Mahomes' passes accounted for a 1/3 of his yards, so his remaining 17 completions went for 175. The biggest difference was Watson had a running game, Hyde had 26 carries for 116 yards. Neither QB had a 300-yard game, which is actually shocking based on their averages. KC has lost two straight at home; when is the last time that happened? Mahomes had a crazy throw deep into double coverag…
