http://www.profootballweekly.com/PFW/NFL/N.../wwhi112008.htm “He’s gotten really soft, leaving big cushions and whiffing on most of his tackles,” one team insider said of Vasher. “He at least used to throw his body around and provide some run support. Worse than that, he’s no longer making any plays to speak of (with only one interception).” Another declining defender who was particularly exposed against the Packers is NT Dusty Dvoracek, who we hear could be losing more than a little playing time to Anthony Adams, who many close to the team believe should be on the field a lot more after being inactive is seven of the 10 games this season. Said one daily te…

PFW did a piece looking at the players drafted at each slot in the top 10 in the last 10 years, and throwing in their two cents on who the top bust was. Hey, its a slow time of the year. Drafted 10th Basically between Jamal Reynolds and Mike Williams, w/ the edge going to Reynolds. Agree w/ this. As bad as Mike Williams has been, Reynolds was worse. Reynolds was never productive, and is now all but out of football. Drafted 9th. They give it to Ted Ginn. Disagree w/ this one. While this was not a bad group of players, I simply have an issue w/ declaring a guy a bust of any sort after only his rookie year, particularly a WR in an inept offense. …

More props for Goldman and Amos... http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...ae-480e845a0bd2

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...ments_Container Everyone on this site should check out this piece. Really good stuff from Gannon. Dang it, I really want Rich as our QB coach after seeing his quotes and comments. Just makes a ton of sense.

https://twitter.com/#!/caplannfl/status...489335177748480 Emery is currently with KC, so maybe that would give us the inside track on someone like Dwayne Bowe?

I caught the tail end of it on the radio. Did anybody else hear this?

Nice to see a GM chat with fans for an hour. I think he put to rest any further discussion of us transitioning to a 3-4 D, at least for the upcoming offseason. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...93-4aa1a6a8225d

That has the Bears written all over it. They need more big fat guys in the trenches, especially with Ratliff out for a while. Don't think you can just rely on Eddie Goldman.

Caught this nugget out of a David Haugh article:

...and another one's gone. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/HeadLines...L&hl=140875 Bucs re-signed SS Jermaine Phillips. Terms have not yet been disclosed. Phillips received little free agent interest, with only the Chargers and Seahawks sniffing around. Instead he'll return to the starting lineup at strong safety in Tampa, with Sabby Piscitelli staying in a reserve role. Mar. 5 - 6:14 pm et Source: Tampa Tribune

Cutler 22-33, 241 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT's Forte 19 rushes, 39 yards, 4 catches, 42 yards Hester 5 catches, 59 yards, 1 TD Bennett 5 catches, 47 yards Olsen 4 catches, 74 yards Knox 3 catches, 19 yards Eagles 41-16

...are gonna kill this team. It's gonna get ugly the next 2 weeks. Yikes. Peace

after watching that game last night, I think we are gonna get our tails handed to us..

In reading today's articles about JA's interview it seems he's changing his strategy a bit from what he's done in years past. Recently we've taken players who fell a bit due to injury. Of course everyone knows what happened with Williams last year. In the past we've taken Bazuin who I believe had a bit of an injury pre-draft that was aggravated in camp. Of course we took Harrison in Rd 3 and Bowman in Rd 5 who both fell due to injury concerns. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://blogs.suntimes.com/bears/2009/04/an...ss_2009_nf.html "Angelo on drafting players with medical c…

https://www.nfl.com/news/phyllis-george-female-sportscasting-pioneer-dies-at-70 One of the classy ones. She was more than just a beautiful face in the 70's. Just loved the broadcast teams they had in a lot of different itinerations. Howard, I. Cross, Dandy Don, Jimmy the Greek and a bunch of others. MNF and NFL Today was worth watching just to see the highlites of the games you could not see anywhere else. She was always one of my favorites, period.

Does anyone have a site or a listing of the old Bears legends? For instance, something like... Mike Singletary - MLB - Baylor - 6'2" 245lbs Mike Ditka - TE- Pitt - 6'2" 245lbs (I made up the ht and wt on those examples...)

The Bears have the 25th pick in the 2026 draft. Pass Rush is an issue, no starting Safeties, and a question mark at LT. They need at least 2 starters from this class.
