Bearstalk

Wanted us to keep this kid. I really question the thinking going into WR. I guess we just don't have the history for WR. I don't see him clearing waivers.

The Denver Broncos have cut T. J. Ward, Pro Bowl strong safety. I know we got Demps in FA and drafted Jackson but I have to believe we have more than enough room and cap space to bring in a 30 year old player to bolster a position we have needed strengthening since Mike Brown departed. I would prefer a pro bowl CB or a OLT that is a big upgrade over what we currently have starting. However, since the likelihood of finding either at this stage is slim to none, T. J. Ward looks mighty fine to me.

Quarterbacks (3): Mike Glennon, Mark Sanchez, Mitchell Trubisky. Grade: B- (immobile top 2 hurt the group, until Trubisky starts, then A) Running backs (4): Tarik Cohen, Benny Cunningham, Jordan Howard, Taquan Mizzell . Grade: A- (I like this group, good mix of skills, Cohen the wild card) Fullbacks (1): Michael Burton. Grade: C+ (meh, zone blocking uses one) Receivers (6): Josh Bellamy, Deonte Thompson, Markus Wheaton, Kevin White, Kendall Wright, Tre McBride. Grade: D- (w/o Meredith we have no true #1 unless White steps up and performs like his draft status) Tight ends (4): Daniel Brown, Zach Miller, Adam Shaheen, Dion Sims. Grade: B+ (Decent versa…

I have stated many times that I think the Bears will be much better than people expect. The lose of Meredith hurts quit a bite but I still the possibility of them upsetting ATL. They will stunt the Falcons running game and apply pressure on Ryan in the passing game. On offense they will power run, using up the clock with much two TE sets, just enough offense to score 20- 23 points. The key will be to have a TO advantage during the game. I say 23 -17 and Cohen scores the winning TD.

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/tre...ride?id=2552428 Seems like a worthy prospect. It appears he is quicker than Gentry but we'll see if he ever gets on the field. There is more film on him this preseason so Bears scouts have seen how much he's improved. Highlight catch.. http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...-tre+mcbride%22 http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlig...-tre+mcbride%22 From the history bin... 09/05/16 - WR Tre McBride was waived Monday to make room for Marc Mariani. There is the chance that McBride could re-sign onto the Titans' practice squad.

Langford cut today no big surprise but brace move by Pace because it questions his talent evaluation but needed to be done to make a statement to other players this is a business where you are paid well and need to perform. This is a good move in relation to Kevin White. It's time to man up or be shipped out.

I know we have low expectations, but if the team was going to make a legit shot at the playoffs, who is the key to success? If this player fails, the team is going to struggle?

We draft tonight at 8:30 central time. It is a $25 league. Let me know if you're interested. I will post the available keepers for the team in a little bit.

“He earned it,” coach John Fox told reporters Wednesday before practice. “It’s not something we handed him for any particular reason other than he earned it.” http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...82-fd0230b38256 Nice positive read

Browns Release Pryor I know many people here had interest in him at draft time. Is he worth a look? Is Jackson enough promise to not think about it? In my opinion, we have had such a hole at that position that you could never have enough competition. However, this guy couldnt stick with the Jets and Browns so that is a glaring sign haha

Pernell McPhee's in the best shape ever? That's news to Bears DC Vic Fangio http://es.pn/2wcO8il via @ESPN App http://es.pn/app

Cornerback Prince Amukamara (ankle) - Doubtful Guard Kyle Long (ankle), wide out Markus Wheaton (finger), and outside linebacker Pernell McPhee (knee) - Questionable Most are saying Amukamara will be out, which sucks vs Falcons pass happy offense and Julio.

Bears signed DE Akiem Hicks to a four-year, $48 million extension. I really hope he stays as dominant as he has looked for the life of the contract.

Marcus Mosher‏Verified account @Marcus_Mosher According to @DanGrazianoESPN, #Bears WR Kevin White has a broken collarbone. Will likely end his season.

Beautiful day down by the lakefront. Here is what I saw: - A lot more Falcons fans than should have been and some empty seats which you usually don't see for the first game. - Way too many short passes from Glennon. If this trend continues, Tarik Cohen will be a dead man. - Speaking of Cohen, he is the real deal. However good he looked on TV, he looked even better in person. - Loved seeing the fullback rush for a first down. Great play call. - Defense played well except for the two busted TE completions. Hicks earned his paycheck today. - If Glennon can't play much better than this, then they need to switch to Trubisky soon. I give him credit for t…

I think this is the end of his Bears career. Sorry to see. http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/grizzly-de...lFlowFB_CHBrand Peace

Anyone got any feedback on our next opponent? I scanned their depth chart and it appears Jacquizz Rodgers is their starting RB splitting time with Charles Sims. Quite a bit less of threat than Atlanta ran at us. They do have a good QB and WRs in Evans and Desean Jackson on the outside plus OJ Howard at TE. I think Fangio needs to flip the script from last week where the focus was on shutting down the run and we should get after the QB. Maybe we'll see more of Bullard and RRH this week? Their defense has some good players but other than Gerald McCoy I don't see any big pass rush threats. That's a consistent complaint among their fans on the message boards too.…

Alford is the new signee at WR. Not a big guy but has speed. I think they will throw him on the outside and let him run to loosen up the tight d on the run game and underneath wr routes

In his first year of eligibility Brian Urlacher has been confirmed as a nominee. He should get in regardless of Ray Lewis also being nominated.They are both HOF players!
