"The 1st team unit looked like this: LT Frank Omiyale, LG Chris Williams, C Roberto Garza, RG Lance Louis, RT J’Marcus Webb" Somehow, the OL got WORSE. http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2011/07/30/bea...st-day-of-camp/

As per PFT. I'm still pissed we didn't go after a difference maker. That being said, I know we'll use a chunk on Forte, and I have this dream scenario where we want to put the franchise tag on Roy Williams, Okoye, and Gholston, but we can decide who to choose. Is there anybody else we need to pay anytime soon? That being said, here's what PFT says: "The teams with cap space, a day before all teams must be in compliance, are as follows: Buccaneers ($ 29,560,000); Chiefs ($ 28,431,000); Jaguars ($ 28,000,000); Browns ($ 27,620,000); Bengals ($ 27,164,000); Broncos ($26,542,000); Bills ($ 23,460,000); 49ers ($ 22,570,000); Bears ($ 19,300,000); Seahawks ($ 16,3…

I've heard from numerous sources, that the NFL and NFLPA signed the new 10 year CBA. But I haven't heard when the opt out's kick in. Anyone know?

Push Drills showing Match ups is excellant, Gohlston looks like monster. http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/mul...lip=Y&rn=13 Ack just checked the link, Not good, Go to Chicagobears.com and watch the push pull drill, Sorry bout that. Update: They took it down. Hmmm wonder whats up.

Tommie Harris being interviewed after first day of practice with Colts. Says good things about Lovie and Coach Marinelli....hmmm another NFL'er liking his coaches. Say it ain't so. Take care Tommie and good luck. http://www.colts.com/sub.cfm?page=video&am...91-4d70a92b4825

Do we have any takers? I hear he came to camp overweight. He played for Tice, and I can see bringing him in to take Omiyale place as the swing tackle and get him into shape. He is 32 years old as per article I read.

A source with knowledge of the numbers has shared them with PFT. Leading the way are the Bengals, with more than $41 million in cap room. The Jaguars have more than $34 million. And the bronze goes, surprisingly, to the Browns, with more than $30.4 million. The others are: the Buccaneers (more than $30.2 million); th…

Nick Fairley injured his foot during practice and is in a walking boot. The team doesn't know how severe the injury is and there is speculation that it could be a possible stress fracture.

Harris to Indy. Sad that the injuries killed his career http://www.chicitysports.com/2011/08/02/fo...eal-with-colts/

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,4080152.column I like what I am reading. I was wondering how he would outwardly deal with all the "goings on" in his life as of late. It looks like we have an idea and perhaps, an answer.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/...sive-line-help/ The Bears should still be looking for offensive line help Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on August 2, 2011, 5:51 PM EDT Getty ImagesThe Bears poked around the offensive line free agent market over the last week without acquiring any tackles. They have moved J’Marcus Webb to left tackle and rookie Gabe Carimi has reportedly looked like he belongs at right tackle. They are also trying to replace Olin Kreutz at center, where they say new pickup Chris Spencer will have to earn a starting job. Yes, the Bears offensive line remains a big concern. Yes, it sounds like they are still looking for he…

At least IMHO. Cut loose the following C Taylor, Omyale, Harrison, Sign Justin Blalock Line the looks like this Carimi, Blalock, Spencer Garza Webb Swing tackle C Williams I would fell much better about that then anything we got now.

When do we sign Leonard Davis?.... ANyone hear of any new rumors for Bears Oline?
