The past TC showed us that Cutler had a preference for Brandon Rideau and Devin Aromashodu and during the first game Rideau was on his couch and DA was inactive I guess with Davis getting some playing time. Why would they decide to play Davis over DA?

Rex? Come on. IMO, somebody should make one with Forte and Orton on it or something.

Ced has been out the last 3 weeks. In week 10, rookie Scott gained on 33 yds but that was against Pittsburgh. Week 11 he went for 119 yds. LJ got the carries in week 12 and ran for 107 yds. This season, Ced is averaging 4.2 ypc, Scott 4.4 ypc, and Johnson 4.7. Me thinks the o-line, the qb, and the wrs make the running backs job much, much easier in Cincy. Peace

Most people gave Waldron credit for Geno's resurgence. With Waldron gone, Geno now leads the NFL in passing yards (averaging 295.5 per game), which is on pace for over 5K. He has 19 completions more than the 2nd QB and has thrown for 57 1st Downs in 4 weeks. Kenneth Walker's Yards per carry his first two seasons (with Waldron): 4.6 and 4.1. This year: 5.7. Metcalf is on pace for career bests in yards and receptions Smith-Njigba, who was critical of Waldron in the offseason, has 25 receptions in 4 games, on pace for over 100. He had 63 last year. Charbonnet, mainly a 3rd Down back, is on pace to quadruple last season's receiving numbers. Seattle …

Amobi Okoye, DL, Houston Texans Draft Pick: 10th overall in 2007 NFL draft from Louisville Career Statistics: 59 starts, 15.5 sacks and 165 tackles A lot of draft pundits were shocked when the Houston Texans spent the 10th overall pick of the 2007 NFL draft on this 19-year-old Nigerian, who was considered a physical beast but extremely raw. It isn't that Okoye didn't play decently in four seasons with the Houston Texans; it was more about the fact that he failed to grasp the nuances of the game a…

Today, Mike Mayock had a 150 minute conference call and said 4 players deserve to be the #1 overall pick: Warmack, Cooper, Johnson, and Joeckel (2 guards!). Thoughts? To me, this makes me really want the Bears to either take Cooper at 20 or trade down a few spots and select him. He can play G right now and has the versatility to be the C for the next 10 years.

Every year, Mike Mayock releases his top 5 lists of the top 5 prospects at each position. This year, he has interesting ones, like Barrett Jones as the #3 C, behind Schwenke and Frederick. http://m.nfl.com/news/0ap1000000139744/

Mike Mayock, who's analysis I respect when it comes to the draft because he seems to be extremely thorough when he explains why he likes prospects, has the Bears selecting Chandler Jones at 19. Mike Mulligan who has shown over the years that he can have some insight into Bears picks was the lone panelist from the Score round table discussion of the Bears draft plans that also picked Jones.Pompeii,Biggs, Zaidman and Matt Bowen all believe that Mercilus will be and should be the pick.

I personally like how Mayock breaks down players and prospects on the NFL Network. Here is what he has to say on some of the Top OL prospects. Posted: 01/10/2008 Michigan's Long leads a strong senior class of OTs By Mike Mayock | NFL Network http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d...mp;confirm=true The senior offensive line class is a study in contrasts. The interior offensive linemen are unusually weak, while the tackle position offers quality and depth along with some interesting wild cards. Ben Liebenberg / NFL.com USC's Sam Baker must demonstrate more consistency and toughness if he hopes to become an elite prospect. 1. …

McBride can feel like a 5th-round pick now Trumaine McBride figured all along he would be a fifth-round draft pick. At least he’s been compensated like one. The cornerback was the Bears’ biggest winner in the NFL’s performance-based pay system that rewards players for being on the field. The system adopted in 2002 provides the highest payouts to players who play the most and earn the least. As a seventh-round draft pick, 221st overall, McBride received a signing bonus of $55,250 for his four-year contract with a base salary of $285,000 last season. The payout received in performance-based pay? In excess of $200,000 according to two league sources, meaning McBr…

Just saw this - Id never heard anything so direct about the McCaskeys before. We surely suffered as a result for many decades, I hope Warren is strong enough to keep them at bay.

In preparation for the Senior Bowl, McClellin asked his agents Bruce and Ryan Tollner of REP1 Sports what he could do to improve his hand punch. They hooked him up with mixed martial arts trainer and television personality Jay Glazer and his partner, former Ultimate Fighting champion Chuck "The Iceman" Liddell. "He comes in looking like Richie Cunningham," Glazer said. "I told Chuck, 'Let's have some fun with him. Push him. Scare the hell out of him. Get your crazy eyes going and let's see if we can make him cower down.' We took turns on him in a Greco-Roman drill that is body on body work." Some of the other draft prospects Glazer has worked with have waved the…

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/...er-on-thursday/ Wouldn't that be a 3rd time for him?

http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...=espnapi_public Well at least he is motivated.
