Bearstalk

I like this draft....maybe not the players selected but the overall concept of what we need to make the Bears the Monsters of the Midway again. Fannie is getting this players like he had in SD with that great d. We got Floyd would could be the next Smith/Miller...we got Hicks and Bullard...got a LIL who played saftey (Urlacher type..not saying he will be ) a big corner....a hard hitting saftey......wow.......now all we need is a back up QB( I would sign Homer for now)and a TE.

http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-bears/ta...as-been-evident Thought this was a good read. I continue to be excited what we are trying to build on the defensive side of the ball. That said, I hope we can figure out a way to find a long-term piece at QB (looking much longer term than Jay, who is fine for the next couple of years).

IIRC Zach Miller used to play around 235lbs. Judging by this photo Miller has added some sterngth over the offseason. Housler is listed at 250lbs and is just 1" taller. He said he wanted to improve as a blocker and it looks like he committed himself to that goal. http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/pho...7c-d08bc5c212c5 One thing about Fox that is noticeable from past coaching staffs is his emphasis on players working with the trainers and the nutritionist. I don't know how many times I've seen Jenn Gibson mentioned regarding player's conditioning program but she is the only Sport Science Coordinator and Nutritionist I've ever heard of among the Front…

Anyone else drinking this Kool-Aid? http://www.scout.com/nfl/bears/story/16720...-top-10-in-2016 In the article he states our secondary was ranked 4th in the league but I find that deceiving in part due to the lack of run defense. I also don't have the much confidence in either Fuller or Porter. Yet we weren't that bad in the 2nd half of the season. Evidence for optimism resides here: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2015112602/2...3&tab=recap I think top 10 D is a realistic possibility with a little bit of luck. That luck includes someone else among the young safeties stepping up as a legit starter next to Amos. Good health among the ILB star…

JJ Wyatt maybe out for the first game. Egales QB Sam Bradford Romo is hurt will miss our game Vikings

Hester is trying out for the Ravens.....we need a kickoff/punt returner......my i would sign him if he is healthy. He can do what Mariani does ....plus he wants to retire a Bear

There has been some concern expressed to the Admins of the forum about avatars being used by some posters. There are posters on the forum who have young children who either read posts on the forum or are present when the parent is reading posts on the forum and are uncomfortable, for various reasons, for them to see avatars of a sexually provocative nature. Being the father of 5, grandfather of 9, great grandfather of 3, I can certainly understand. The Admins therefore would certainly appreciate if forum posters would consider less sexually explicit avatars. If a registered member of the forum would like to do so there is also another option. If y…

Kyle Long and Sitton are too experienced to be making these mistakes. Not all mistakes in the first 3 games are on them but clearly there are numerous issues on the Oline that need to be corrected for this running game to take off. http://bearswire.usatoday.com/2016/09/29/f...gainst-cowboys/

I got to coach a 5-6 grade football game against Roosevelt Colvin. His son looks just like him. We won 30-13.

You called it on Dak Prescott. He's looking outstanding this point. Good job. Peace

So I assume everyone has seen Bennett talk crap (again) about Cutler and the Bears, but it seems that Alshon responded: Nice to see someone step up since he literally called everyone bitches. http://www.csnchicago.com/chicago-bears/al...hen-he-was-here

I finally completed a review of the win over the Vikings with main focus on the line play, both sides. DLine: Solid play inside in this game mainly from Hicks. Either the coaches or McPhee are getting to him (likely both) because he's starting to play more violently. On his sack near the goal line he just clubbed the lineman with his right arm knocking him off balance and then just ran right past him. After some solid but unspectacular first few games his arrow is now pointing up. Unrein is still unable to get any movement in the pass rush. He's still a solid depth-type player but he's not what we need as a starter. OTOH Bullard is making progress in his pas…

I don't pay attention to the salary cap stuff. Never cared to fully understand it. What's the breakdown of how Cutler affects the Bears? If he's traded, how does that affect the team's salary cap? What if he's released? I'm just wondering if his salary will be a reason teams decide not to talk to the Bears.

Hope you guys all have amazing days!!!

So I am sure all of us have heard by now about how Cre'von LeBlanc has been absolutely dominating practices since the Bears picked him up from the Patriots (especially in the takeaway department) and we all know about his pick six in last weeks game, but some analytics point out that his actual production the past 4 weeks has been "elite". Thought it was an interesting read and I've definitely seen a lot of positives out of him (not to say he hasn't had some rookie mistakes as well). Given the major need in the secondary, would be huge turn LeBlanc into a starting corner or better yet a well above average corner. I know I have seen some recent gripes on here abou…
