Bearstalk

The Bears currently have eight picks in the 2008 draft, one in each of the seven rounds plus an additional third-round selection they obtained in a draft-day trade with the San Diego Chargers last year. The Bears dealt their fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills in exchange for defensive tackle Darwin Walker, but regained a fifth-round pick from the Carolina Panthers in a deal for safety Chris Harris. The Bears also could be awarded a compensatory pick or two after losing free agents such as Alfonso Boone, Todd Johnson, Ian Scott and Cameron Worrell. -from Bears Chalk Talk on chicagobears.com So as it stands now, here's how I see our draft goin'... 1. Kenny Ph…

Nathan Vasher is "all but out of the mix" at cornerback for the Bears, according to the Chicago Tribune. The Tribune points out that Vasher's tackling skills have declined. He also isn't ideally built to play cornerback in the Bears' scheme at only 5'10/180. The Bears are expected to consider a corner with the No. 18 overall pick. http://blogs.chicagosports.chicagotribune....-the-draft.html

...or thats what PFT is reporting. I have a question; just what is he to draw for the last four on his contract? Wasn't he signed for some monster money? Anyone???

So who should the Bears be looking at if anyone? Josh David Booty, Andre Woodson, Colt Brennan, Dennis Dixon are among the big names left on the board still...

Orton: 14-25, 198 yards, 1 TD Forte: 23 carries, 141 yards, 2 TD, 6 catches, 53 yards Gould: 3/3 FG Bears 30-26 Giants 27-17

In 1999, the Packers hired Ray Rhodes and he as fired after 1 season because they knew they made a mistake. The Bears have made a mistake in the hiring of Trestman (would love him as an offensive coordinator). If things do not improve by the end of the season, he must be fired. This inconsistent play reflects directly on him. Peace

To be 2-0 coming home would be special...

Take cutler with ya

Well I suppose its time to get this going. For starters we need to confirm who is returning and if anyone from last season doesnt wish to join this year we need to find a replacement. I will also send reminders through yahoo. So for the time being if you were in the league last season just let us know what you plan to do and we can also discuss any rule changes anyone wants to propose. A few people also have a $5 credit towards this season which we will straighten out when we get all our owners. Also, anyone new and interested in a free league let me know and we can organize that, or potentially another pay league with enough interest.

SoS will be computed after this week, so these are using last week's SoS, so we may pass Dallas for 8th after the games are computed: 1. DET 1-7 (7) 2. TEN 1-6 (30) 3. CLE 2-6 (14) 4. SD 2-6 (12) 5. BAL 2-6 (4) 6. SF 2-6 (1) 7. JAX 2-5 (19) 8. DAL 2-5 (6) 9. CHI 2-5 (5) 10. HOU 3-5 (23) 11. KC 3-5 (2) We play 3 teams on this list (SD, SF, and DET), 2 bad teams (TB, WAS), 2 great teams (GB, DEN), and 2 good, but beatable teams (MIN, STL). What is crazy is we could still technically win 7 of those 9 games and no one would question those wins, and we could also only win 3 of them and no one would question the losses. Such an odd season.

PRESS CONFERENCE - ROUGHLY: TED the head PHILLIPS: "they (angelo, lovie) welcome change"? since when you idiot. YOU should be changed as the first order of business. after 8 and 6 years respectively, where has the change been? how long do you wait for change from coach and gm? until their contracts expire and your books are still in the black? "a frustrating season"?? it was a frustrating DECADE teddy boy and we are starting on another frustrating decade!!! well ted, you got continuity alright, more garbage to go along with past garbage. "our players need to play at a higher level"? hmmm how is that to happen and WHY aren't they playing at a higher l…

Week 1 - 28.3 Week 2 - 21.6 After 2 weeks, at 24.2, he is 2nd to last in the NFL, only ahead of Bryce Young. Bo Nix is at 35.7 and Daniels is at 46.8 Williams needs to step it up as QBR is a huge predictor of future success. Comparatively, Fields ended his rookie year at 31.4, Zach Wilson at 33.4, and Lawrence at 39.1. Williams PFF Grade is a 44.3, the lowest of any Bears offensive players and 2nd lowest of any player. Only Booker is lower at 42.9.

Well our O-line will be different this year for sure, but now different and who plays where is the $100,000 dollar question. The bold IMHO will be the starters with a coin flip at RT between Webb and Scott now that Carimi has been traded Boggs, Garza,Williams, Lonergan, at center Slauson, Long, Dennis, Mills, Britton at guard Brandon, Brown,Bushrod, Mills, Scott, Webb, at tackle
