I was thinking about this. Can you imagine Bill Belichick having a dance party in the locker room after regular season wins? How do you expect he would deal with players underperforming? Can you even imagine him calling only 7 run plays in a game? I was wondering about Nagy giving his playcalling duties over to the actual OC, and then he could focus on... what exactly... Team culture, birds eye view etc? If anything is true it's that our culture is not pushing these guys to play well. It's WAY too permissive. Pace has done a decent job stocking this roster. He missed on Trubisky. He's made some other bad calls too. But by and large, he has do…

http://chicagobearsfanforum.com/blog/?p=260 The Bears * Brad Biggs of The Chicago Sun-Times blogs that Bears RB Cedric Benson has lost only four pounds between last year and this year, something he clearly doesn't believe: Slimmed down running back Cedric Benson is listed at 216 pounds, down four from last year's list. If he's 216 now, he wasn't 220 last year. Well, whatever he weighs now and whatever he weighed then, if the weight loss is all flab then its all good. * From Pro Football Weekly's Whispers Column: Injury-prone Bears WR Mark Bradley, who is recovering from early-May arthroscopic surgery on his right…

Agent: At least two teams interested in Burress by Staten Island Advance Friday May 15, 2009, 4:02 PM Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for former Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress, reported on his Twitter page that at least two NFL teams are interested in signing Burress. (AP) Former Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress has drawn interest from at least two NFL teams his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, reported on his Twitter page on Friday. Burress, who is embroiled in a legal storm following an accidental shooting inside a Manhattan night club, was released by the club in April. "Ran wind sprints with Plaxico Burress," Rosenhaus wrote on Friday. "There are at least 2…

Bucs decide to "move on" from Antonio Bryant Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on February 25, 2010 4:17 PM ET The Bucs have decided they don't want to sign Antonio Bryant for the third time in as many years. Speaking Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine, Bucs coach Raheem Morris said the team has decided to "move on" from Bryant and go in a "young direction." The news isn't a shock, but we are surprised that his agent only found out from a reporter, according to Stephen Holder of the St. Petersburg Times. The two sides supposedly never even got into contract demands. We think Bryant has the best mix of talent and age of any receiver on the market. Tampa, mea…

Picture of the hit, still looks brutal: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,7798460.story Per Rotoworld: The brace: http://lockerz.com/s/180054663 I doubt he plays in 2012 or ever returns to form after something like that. Ouch, video:

I know Preseason numbers mean next to nothing, but it is nice to see some stats like this: Sack differential 14 - 4 Turnover Ratio +9 0 pts allowed in 2nd half (entire preseason) 6 straight shutout quarters to end preseason I was actually surprised to see the Sacks differential and Turnover Ratios so positive, so I compared them to the last 5 years with regular season comparisons. 2014 Preseason: Sacks 5 - 7 Turnover Ratio 0 for the season: 39 - 41 and -5 2013 Preseason: Sacks 9 - 13 Turnover Ratio +5 for the season: 31 - 30 and +5 2012 Preseason: Sacks 9 - 11 Turnover Ratio +2 for the season: 41 - 44 and +20 2011 Pr…

He's here tonight and tomorrow which is interesting and I'm sure Jason is happy to see this. I expect somewhere in this trip he'll spend some time with Eddie Jackson. As a player I view him as better in coverage than Amos but not as good at tackling. HHCD had his fair share of coverage lapses too but he's a better playmaker when the ball is in the air. In that sense he always seemed to be more of a FS than SS and Jackson is not leaving that role. If Pagano wants multiple inside-the-numbers coverage options behind his blitz schemes he'll have them with HHCD, Jackson, Skrine, Roquan, Floyd, and Trevathan. What he's looking for in his next contract is hard to gue…

Blah. Meh. Whatever... It showed nothing. We did what we were supposed to. We didn't really show we could move the ball agasint a horrid defense. The D had some turnovers, but most were gifts other than a couple really nice plays by D. Manning. It was nice to see Forte score and do OK, but I wasn't impressed. Here's a few observations from my couch... 1. Anytime Walter gets a tribute of any sort, I get a tear in my eye. Darn dust. That man is why we are Bears fans. 'nuff said. 2. Cutler is one tough SOB. The team is giving him no help, he's getting pounded, and still mans up and plays hard. Kudos. We need to HELP this man play... …

I don't much about the guy or if he will be any better.. but I did like his press conference..

I remember this play so well. It was awesome.

I never knew dude was such an interesting character and had so many interests out there besides football.

Knee injury - see the bottom of the article. Peace http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,6379081.story

Had a pretty good team when he coached up in Minneapolis. Although this was probably my most favorite memory of him.

Redskins Special-Teams Standout Rejects Contract Offer Posted by Aaron Wilson on April 30, 2009, 12:11 p.m. Washington Redskins reserve linebacker and special-teams ace Khary Campbell has declined the team’s contract offer of a veteran minimum salary and is holding talks with other NFL teams, according to David Elfin of the Washington Times. Per the report, Campbell, who led the Redskins in special-teams tackles over the past three seasons, has made up his mind that he’s not going to accept the offer and will be moving on. “That wasn’t something I was going to accept,” Campbell told the Times. “And they drafted two linebackers. They did what they had to do,…

Cleveland took Robiskie and Massaquoi, so does that mean that Edwards could be had with a 3th this year and a 3rd next year maybe?

He looked a LOT better tonight. He got some decent blocking and looked to go vertically instead of trying to run around everyone and get tackled for -3 yards. He was aggressive going down the field and looked like the Hester of old. I expect him to break one against Houston, and if I'm the Bears, I put Hester out there returning kicks NEXT to Danieal Manning. Side note...we need to play Soulja Boy again when he is back to return.

We probably all saw this one coming. I just hope they don't spend a first or second rounder to replace him or Forte like they did Marshall last year. He's near the top as all around TE's go despite an off year.
