Bearstalk

So, as much as I despise the guy, Ray Lewis announced he is going to retire after the playoffs. http://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/ravens/...,0,959581.story Oddly enough I used him as a prime example for my teenage kid on how players that are good at what they do build up and sustain intensity for a game. Of course I realize that most players have their own routines but Lewis without question is one of the most visible when it comes to his intensity. For that I thank him and for what appears to be a dedicated player to the sport I cherish. So, why post that here on a Bears board? I heard earlier this year that if the Bears were to have made the Super Bowl,…

Former Cowboys RB coach Skip Peete has joined the Bears' staff as RB coach.

...to be their DC!

Nice eagles...

I think there will be a run on OL in the first part of the draft, and a few QBs. SO I think these will be our choices for our pick; Te'o/LB overall ratings on two sites; 10th and 16th Ogletree/LB overall ratings on two sites; 12th and 29th Etrz/TE overall ratings on two sites; 24th and 32nd Cooper/OG overall ratings on two sites; 20th and 23rd so who do you take with that first pick? It we take the best player available it (I hate to say it) would have to be Te'o, if we go by greatest need Cooper/OG a starter caliber from day one. or the best TE in the draft(also a need) I would still take Cooper because the talent at OLi…

So will all these players on the roster. at FS/SS & CB..who do you think we will keep and let go and who has the best chance of beating out some to make the team? I think Hayden,Moore, Bowman, Steltz, Frey and Walters need to be looking over their shoulders at maybe a pink slip coming. Troy Nolan 6'2, 202, 4.5 Tom nelson 5'11, 200 ,4.3 Cyhll Quarles 6'3, 212, 4.5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grzQiBmAOO0 Chris Conte 6'2, 203, Brandan Hardin 6'2, 217, 4.4 Craig Steltz 6'1,210, 4.6 Major Wright 5'11,204, 4.5 Anthony Walters 6'1 207,4.5 LeQuan Lewis 5'11, 187, 4.3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=…

Up to 123 from 120.6, per Ian Rapoport Now Mort says 123.9

I am not sure who they were looking at but suspect it was a OLB Jamie Collins 6'4 250 4.64 40 guy. A 4th or 5th type of pick.

Last night on twitter greg cossell talked about 2 WRs that he likes according to what he sees on tape. Both have mid to late rd selection type grades currently Aaron Mellette, Elon - greg likes him for his size, great hands plus athleticism at 6'2" 217 lbs. Also has deceptive movement for a big. Check out his stats and they blow u away. I would love to look at this guy in the 4th Conner Vernon- Duke-- very good route runner w/ understanding of how to use vertical stem to breakdown cushion and separate. 1 concern is that he's a bit of a 1 speed receiver w/o much burst. But very good hands and great feel for subletives of route running. He's 6'0 196 lbs and …

For those who want Chase Daniel.. RT @JasonLaCanfora: Continue to hear a strong buzz about Chase Daniel. Teams think he'll get $3M-plus a year. Lot of clubs in a shallow QB market ... Yuck. No thanks.

Emery pretty much confirms what we already knew - with these two moves, the Bears get a lot of draft flexibility and are more likely than they otherwise would have been to trade down. I hear the 49ers have 14 draft picks - might be a good place to start. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,4807079.story

I can't remember this many 1 year deals... Ever since Bennett and Bushrod I'm pretty sure every contract has been one year...

Thought this was interesting, since there were only three GMs there. Maybe a long look at Robert Woods (who was reportedly very impressive) or Khalid Holmes?

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

TO wants to make a comeback and guess who he wants to play for? TAADAA Mark Trestman. Somebody give him a gun.

Just realized that I need to figure out who my keeper will be for the upcoming season. Decisions, decisions. Here are my options and draft results from last year. To me it looks like my options are SF for a 6th, Flacco for an 11th, or Amendola for a 16th. Hernandez was my Keeper last year. I am leaning towards Amendola as he seems to have the most value at that slot. 2. Adrian Peterson (Min - RB) 3. Victor Cruz (NYG - WR) 4. Michael Turner (Atl - RB) 5. Reggie Bush (Det - RB) 6. Dwayne Bowe (KC - WR) 7. San Francisco (SF - DEF) 8. Pierre Garcon (Was - WR) 9. Shonn Greene (Ten - RB) 10. Nate Washington (Ten - WR) 11. Peyton Hillis (KC - RB…

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...2c-65332a882ead This is a good read and makes me really wanna see these guys in action.

Travis Jackson/QB was released, should we be interested? I think he also would become our top backup if we picked him up. Also Vonte Leach is said to be going to be released today. The top rated blocking FB in the league last year.
