Open forum for projecting fixes for whatever we need to fix. TEs: under control Burton Shaheen Braunnecker Horsted Saubert Holtz Raymond. Since the position was a disaster this year but have cap restrictions. I see Pace redoing the room. I think Burton ( if healthy) is listed #1 , Braunnecker gets cut, Shaheen comes back but will get cut before the regular season. Holtz and Horsted showed enough to be 3 and 4. The big Question is can Raymond play. Idk. In the draft there is no clear star but 8 prospects that might be good. In GBND report ( I like evaluation of players) Kmet/ ND is the only one that is e…

Winston was released today by KC. He didnt play well last year, but was one of the better RTs two years ago in Houston. May be able to add him for a reasonable price.

Rough season for the Bears from an injury standpoint. He will be the 13th player put on IR. I think they lost over 60 starts to injury this yr as compared to low 20s last yr. Obviously, injury was not the primary reason for the Bears downfall this yr (coaching, personnel moves, inept play) but it did play a part. http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...earnt27.article Peace

There are reports that OT prospect Mike Adams tested positive at the Combine for Marijuana.This is after being arrested in 2009 for possessing drug paraphenalia and add this to the receiving improper benefits suspension and we have what should be a guy with major character issues. He should not only drop out of the first round but he should be pulled off a few draft boards all together.

Here is a up to date list of prosopects the Chicago Bears brought in or went to visit. WHAT DOES IT TELL US? 5 DEs on that list. 4 projected first rounders. North Carolina linebacker Zach Brown (?/?). Notre Dame linebacker Darius Fleming (4/13). Vanderbilt defensive end Tim Fugger (4/?). Oregon State cornerback Brandon Hardin (?/?). Alabama linebacker Dont’a Hightower (4/18). South Carolina defensive end Melvin Ingram (4/18) +West Virginia linebacker Bruce Irvin (3/?, 4/?). South Carolina receiver Alshon Jeffery (4/?). Eastern Washington safety Matt Johnson (4/?). *Montana defensive back Trumaine Johnson (4/?). Syr…

He is literally awful...

NFL suspended G Terrence Metcalf four games for violating the league's policy against steroids and related substances. Dan Buenning will now be forced to serve as Chicago's top backup inside. Charles Tillman had a sling on his left arm after Sunday's game. It's possible Tillman re-aggravated the shoulder injury that he suffered in Week 4. He'll be evaluated early this week. Bears reserve CB Trumaine McBride suffered a shoulder injury Sunday. Lovie Smith revealed after Sunday's loss that nickel back Daniel Manning has a pulled hamstring.

This move seems to have backfired on Poles. A waste of a 4th round pick and roster spot. Allen has been a liability and for some reason Caleb has targeted him a ton. He has 30 receptions on 56 targets with several drops. Kmet has 32 receptions on 37 targets. So 2 more receptions with 19 fewer targets. Allen also missed 2 games, so those numbers would be even higher if he didn't. It almost feels like Caleb feels obligated to throw the ball to Allen even though there are much more efficient options. Allen should be the 4th option, not the 1st or 2nd one.

With the shortened week, this is more about seeing what a few guys can do. Gordon and Velus Jones in their first action, Jenkins at RG and Borom at RT, Robinson and Ebner. Can Sanborn and Coley have another standout performance? With only 6-10 plays for the starters, which will probably equate to 4-7 passes for Fields. Seems like a small sample size but it will be nice to see if the updated O-Line with Jenkins at RG will hold up a little better for Fields.

My patreon guys say it is official! Lets see how long until the mainstream media agree

http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/...ing-sua-cravens Could be had for at worst for the Bears a 3rd rounder according to this article. Given the concern, it probably would make sense to start with a 6th as an initial offer. I bet the Bears and Skins could meet in the middle for the Bears early 4th rounder. It's a risk, but it could be a huge reward and the ILB of the future. We already know he can play in the NFL. The same can't be said for most 4th rounders.

Today the Seahawks have signed FB Eddie Williams to their 53-man roster today. It was confirmed that he has been signed and TE Dominique Byrd has been released to make room for Williams on the roster. Yes the same Williams we cut

Desmond Bishop went down holding his knee and couldn't put any weight on it. McCarthy said postgame that they'll be "lucky" if it's nothing serious. (Bishop led the Pack in tackles last year)

According to Zack Zadman on the score, Tice will not interview for Oakland job. good thing just happened.

James Anderson - Strong Side LB http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7837 http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...9000d5d81c1a8ad http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...9000d5d81a74a47

Guys I have a question that I have been torn with all week in 1 of espn leagues. It is a non-ppr league. I have Clinton Portis and Ryan Torain but Laurence Maroney is also available. I need 2 start 1. I know none of them are good options.

I know it's a bit off the wall but what if??? Saw today that Mike Wallace does not intend to sign his tender with Pittsburgh. How about a trade with Forte? The Steelers need an RB and the Bears need another "flashy" WR opposite Marshall and me thinks Wallace would fit the bill. Just sayin.

01a - David Terrell: say what u like 01b - Anthony Thomas: always liked him, but not much of a player 02 - Marc Columbo: never started a game for Bears probably, of course now with Cowboys 03a - Rex Grossman: showed his true colors (Bad rex) 03b - Berard Berrian: probably best WR weve had in 10 years, let go to rival 05a - Cedric Benson: biggest RB bust all bears time (seabass) 05b - Mark Bradley: injury prone before during and after draft (vagina) 06 - Devin Hester: best return man of all time 07 - Greg Olsen: i think hes a star 08 - Chris Wiliams: injured, untypical player bears should target (baby huey) great job staff

Just changed the entire future of the NFC North with one play. Played the game of his life tonight. 3 sacks, and multiple pressures. Hats off to him. Hopefully this gets him going. He may have just revived our playoff hopes by knocking Rodgers out of the game. Somewhere Phil Emery has a smile as wide as the Grand Canyon.
