Bearstalk

Looking at the way this team has evolved the last 5 seasons, I feel it is in a transition phase. The transition phase is both mental and physical. The mental side of the coin belongs to the defense. I see a defense that is no longer willing to impose its will on the other team. It used to be the other team would choke, kowing we were going to make the play that would beat them. Now, we are reduced to the QB in the opposing huddle saying, "we got this". Our veterens need to step up and become what they once were. If you look at the ages of our highly paid vets, they are far from through physically. The key to our staff and players is finding a way to get that…

1 year deal could do this for the Bears

We have to say things have been interesting so far. These are new players that could impact our roster. Now we need to add a couple of OLs and a cornerback and this could be an interesting year. Resigned Hanie/qb-rookie Enderle/qb Marion Barber/rb Hurd/WR-Williams/WR-Fantuz/WR Spaeth/TE-Smith/TE rookie Linnerholm/OC rookie Guards 000000000000000000 Carmi/OT rookie Podlesh/P Gholstein/DE Paea/DT rookie-Okeye/DT-Adams/DT resigned Roach/OLB resigned-Thomas/OLB rookie-DeCicco/LB rookie Harris/CB resigned-Bryan/CB rookie

Looking at our line we have a lot of battles for positions this year. We have centers that can play Guard we have Guards that can play center, we have guards that can or are projected in the future to play tackle and we have tackles that can play guard. Our coaches will have their hands full trying to figure out who is the best fit to play where with all the new additions(in bold). So what are your thoughts of who should be where? But IMHO Boggs, Lonergan, Brandon, Dennis will be among the first cuts we make C Boggs, Garza(C/OG)Williams(C/OG),P.J. Lonergan G Slauson(OG/C), Long(OG/OT),Britton, Brown(OG/OT), T Brandon, Bushrod, Carimi(OT/OG), Denni…

Leno has gotten better each year but is still not even average. the only difference from Leno and Whitehair is the 2" difference in arm length, otherwise they are the same size player. I looked at last years OT class and the best OT were a little taller and they all had longer arms. The one closest to the size of Whitehair was T. Decker, his arm length is 1" longer than Whitehair. So here is what I think will happen, they will stick the best 5 OL on the field at the same time. The question that needs to be answered is how good is Grasu, if he is healthy and has become a good player, I think they move Whitehair out to LT. Whitehair played the position in col…

Chicago Bears Sign WR Kris Adams, G Ricky Henry, T Levi Horn, DT Jordan Miller, TE Andre Smith, LB Patrick Trahan and S Anthony Walters to the pratice squad ....and Marcus Harrision was signed by the Panthers today after being cut by the bears and chester Taylor is now a Cardinal. And in other news Tommie Harris was cut by the Colts.

Bears | Manumaleuna agrees to terms Comment (0) Fri, 05 Mar 2010 07:07:28 -0800 Jeff Dickerson, of ESPNChicago.com, reports the Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with unrestricted free-agent TE Brandon Manumaleuna (Chargers) on a five-year deal, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Donta Rosario, probably didnt spell that right, he was a trade with Dallas for a 7th rounder. What do you think?

So this is what we will be getting this year with Marshall? Take notice of the QB throwing him the ball(Orton) and the DB guarding him(Jennings). Take special notice of all the yards after the catch moves, jukes,stiff arms, broken tackles....wow. Not to mention that he had 21 catches in one game!(NFL record) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5q6HoHYDKQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9q52pUl8vZM...;feature=g-vrec

Detroit is dead last in the league, 32nd, against the run, giving up an average of 207.7 yards per game. If we pound away with Forte, he could have the best game of his rookie season in week 5. It should be a great game for him to highlight his skills.

Our next pick should be either Swoope Stills or Collins at speed WR

With Jerry firing the DB coach already it's safe to say where he thought the problems are this year and I agree. But with that loss we need to get players and a coach that can really help this defense in the secondary. In FA these three guys stand out to me as players we need to turn the corner in the D-backfield. Nnamdi Asomugha, UFA, Oakland Raiders Asomugha’s numbers don’t overwhelm other than his eight interceptions in ’06, but the big reason that he has only 241 career tackles and 10 interceptions is because opponents attack the side of the field that Asomugha isn’t on. He has 40 passes defensed over the past three seasons prior to ‘08 and he’s one of the NFL…

I'm an optimist and viewed the OL as getting better. With the injuries involved, it was terrible . Swiftly gives the stats for the line in his video. We were tied for 5 th (50) in the league in giving up sacks. Had we not had a mobile QB, that total could have been much worse. We were 26 th in the league in PBC, ( pass blocking efficiency). We had the worst PAK in the league, 60.4% of the time Fields was under pressure on passing plays. We had a mobile QB , I can't imagine what that would have been with a typical pocket passer. We were 6th in the league in false starts 24. We were tied for 4th in holding penalties. 19. All those stats sh…

Players go Plaxico with wide acclaimby Brad Biggs, The Chicago Sun-Times , Chicago Sun Times add this RSS blog email print Jerry Angelo's door remains open when it comes to adding a veteran wide receiver. Bears players would like to say ''come on in'' to Plaxico Burress. The general manager has not ruled out anything, and in an offseason like none the franchise has seen, everything is in play eight weeks before training camp. That includes Burress, the former New York Giants receiver who remains without a team while the NFL waits to see how his gun charge proceeds in New York courts. Burress could be the final piece in a vast reshaping of the roster over…

Bears | To have easiest 2009 schedule? Mon, 02 Feb 2009 09:10:31 -0800 Kevin Seifert, of ESPN.com, reports the Chicago Bears' 2009 opponents had a combined .414 winning percentage in 2008, lowest in the National Football League.

Watching NFL Total Access this AM Terrell Davis states in a very positive manner that the Bears will lose this Sunday and our season will end. Guess we should just rest our starters and mail this one in.

Interesting to note that the Bears have 9 losses, with 7 coming against playoff teams, and 6 with teams projected to have 10 or more wins. We did not lose to a single non-playoff team in regulation (losing to DET and SF in OT). 6 of our losses were within one score or less (8 pts). Of our 6 wins, only one was by more than 5 pts (scary). So just as easily as we could've been 12-3, we could've been 1-14. It is nice to know our schedule will be heavily in our favor next season: Schedule

Stinger got me on this site, and I now also follow Dan Shonka on twitter. He's the former NFL scout who runs the site. He posted a mock earlier and well, I don't really know what to think..... 14 Stephon Tuitt DT Notre Dame 51 Jeremy Hill RB LSU 82 Phillip Gaines CB Rice 117 Stanley Jean-Baptiste CB Nebraska 156 Caraun Reid DT Princeton 183 Kadeem EdwardsOG Tennessee State 191 James Gayle DE Virginia Tech If the thought behind the SJB pick is to play him at FS then I'm a little intrigued, if not then I'm not a fan. 2R RB is very meh to me as well. I'm a Mundy "fan" but I think something really intriguing would be replacing Hill with B…

After watching the Pats win yet again, it made me think there there might be a silver lining to our last 10 years of sucking... Granted, we had lightning in a bottle for 2006. But our lack of QB really doomed us...along w/ losing Mike Brown and Tommie Harris for the most important game. But in a broad brush stroke, from 2007-2016...the Pats really have dominated. And they probably will continue to until Brady/Billichick retire in 3-5 years. Sure, some other teams have won in the meantime. But the landscape has been really owned by the Pats to the like we'll probably never see again. We never want to suck...but given that we did and do, it might have n…

Here is a thought I will throw out there, what if we offered Jacksonville a 4th or 5th round pick for Luke Joeckel/LT They signed Kelvin Beachum to a 5 year 45 mil deal. Luke is an athletic player but has lacked in strength. I doubt Jack will have two expensive LTs on the roster. I suggest a trade,preferable 5th rounder but we have 2 4th rounders. Is is worth the chance to give him a new team and motivate him? He did not have a good year but was rated higher than Leno. Is it worth a 4th round pick to get a potential LT
