http://www.chicitysports.com/2011/08/17/ch...player-ratings/ Finally released, im excited to see where Marion Barber is at when they update day 1

Chester Taylor to the Texans might make sense for the Bears: http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...-for-bears.html This is by Sean Jenson. The Texans have their 4 top running backs hurt so they might be interested in giving up a late round draft pick for Taylor who is due 1.25 million this year. He also mentions that Khalil Bell is a core special teams player and looked good Saturday. Meanwhile, Taylor carried the ball 3 times for 3 yards. I can't remember ever seeing Taylor with the Bears and thinking anything but, "He might be a servicable running back who blocks well." Marion looked like a freaking beast. On a side note, Unga rush…

Guys, A good friend of mine runs this t-shirt company in Chicago. He helped put out the really cool Derrick Rose shirt for the Bulls last season you can check out on his site. (Also check out his MacEnroe one too...) He's got a contest going for the design of 2 Bears shirts. If you have some creative juices flowing, give it a shot! Even just ideas! I wouldn't make mention of this if it weren't legit. Please at least give it a glance if you have any interest. The links to the contest are: http://sportshirtcontest.com/dent/ http://sportshirtcontest.com/peppers/ His main site is: http://www.thinkingfandesign.com/

Looks like Denver is screwed up front and may be ready to entertain trying to pry some linemen away from other team. Quite frankly I believe there are too many DTs on the team. I think we need to act quick and send the big Toe over that way, even if its not an exhilarating haul in terms of draft picks. Between Melton and Okoye and Adams, you have a 3 man rotation. That doesnt even include Paea. On that note - if we knew Melton was going to be ready to start and that we would be picking up Okoye....we would have been much better off with OL in rounds 2 and 3 would we not? Ug.

If healthy this could be the answer we need he was a pro bowler for the saints, but little health issues in the off season. Maybe we get him for a song. But only of healthy.

ESPN CHGO is reporting that Nathan Enderle took the bulk of the 2nd team reps at practice today. The also claim that Lovie said it was based on the way they played Sat.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgMEZhkfwwY...093&index=2 YBR does a great breakdown of the offensive line. And I was saying as soon as I was watching my DVR last night that I don't think we'll see Lance Lewis starting week 2 of preseason. He is by far the weakest link on the offensive line.

In a move that is polar opposite from what the staff with the Bears do with holdouts,the Giants immediately put their star DE back with the first team when he was cleared to play and announced he would practice under the terms of his current contract. I wonder if maybe he will use the upcoming game against the Bears to solidfy his case for a new deal. The game in the Meadowlands last season should have been on his personal highlight film for 2010.

Do we take a shot? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...-buffalo-is-up/

Was watching this video and thought that since our team will be meeting Detroit twice again, this is a concern. And he already has history.... So what say you...stupid or aggressive play? http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...HP11_hot_topics

I heard about this from a co-worker of mine. Said that Lovie didn't like the rule changing the location of Kickoffs so he "rebelled" during the game the other night. And contrary to the article I believe the Bears were penalized once for this. Steltz' caused fumble during one return was nullified during the first half because of it...I believe. Is it me or do the Bears seem to have an air of nastiness about them this year? I like it. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/blog/shutdown_...?urn=nfl-wp5084

Jamarcus Webb sucks..he's a 7th Rounder outta nowhere. Get over it and end it Okoye has a ton of potential for us. Think he is gonna be huge and a steal. Gholston on the other hand looks rather lost. Major Wright will end up killing someone or himself (figuratively). Plays with a ton of passion Chris Williams truely stinks. After every play he stands next to ball and chews mouthpiece. Reminds me of the fat kid wearing the Darth Vader helmet from "Little Giants".. Typical Jerry's Kid Chester Taylor is packing his bags, in turn Barber is buyin a condo on the north side somewhere Spencer will end up being the starter at G or C. If u are drafted to C,…

http://www.chicitysports.com/2011/08/14/be...eniscus-damage/ Luckily there was no ACL damage and he should be back before the season opener.

Hear me out on this. Let's say Barber and Bell continue to shine and Taylor does a reversal...and Forte will not come to an agreement with the team. Do we consider trading Forte if we can get the right offer (I would say a 1st round pick)? I love Forte and would hate to see him leave but running backs are a dime a dozen. I remember when the Broncos had a different thousand yard rusher 4 years in a row. Thoughts?? Peace

It seems like posters on here are from all over. I am from Machesney Park, in Illinois.

1. Knox played well on ST. 2. Podlesh wasn't great, and Gould missing that cheapy is a tad scary. 3. The OL was brutal, but I liked what I saw out of Spencer. granted it was vs Buffalo's second teamers. If he isn't the starting C by week 1, I'd be shocked (move Garza to OG, bench Louis, Spencer at C). 4. Enderle was decent, Chris Harris had a huge hit, and Adams played a nice game at WR. Not that I give a s***, but Fantuz didn't touch the field and Sanzenbacher didn't catch a pass. 5. I loved the way Barber ran. Okoye was a beast tonight as well.

Whoa have never seen a back carry players like that except for Walter. Marion living up to nickname.

Bears will be televising the game tonight on thier site. http://www.chicagobears.com/cbn/PreseasonTV.asp Enjoy and see ya there.
