Bearstalk

Amos was quietly promoted to practicing with the 1st string. Vereen, after a poor showing against Miami, is back to 2nd string. It appears this will hold through the 2nd preseason game. Jennings had a veteran day off and McManis got his snaps as the first team nickel back. That is the first time McManis has moved into that spot (with the 1st team) and sign the coaches were impressed with his play against Miami. ---------------------- I finally finished watching the Miami game and will just list some observations in no particular order. I didn't see much from Rolle and so I'm still not impressed with him but I hope it's a just a veteran laying …

Copart49 hasn't rejoined yet. We still have space for 2 more if anyone is interested. Does anyone have times to avoid for the draft? If you work on the weekend, you may have to autodraft, but I'm willing to try and accomodate people as long as it doesn't get too complicated. Looking for feedback guys.

It didn't last long, but that was a rare aerial attack from the Bears. I hope he can over his depression. I also hadn't realized his 18 year old son had died from a drug overdose. Articles like this are why my kids will watch football, but never play (outside of flag).

Dickerson tweeted it....left practice early...... no updates yet

McPhee with a sack too!

We need a RT.. Mills and Leno both suck. They should just move Long to tackle and be done with it. He's more valuable there than at guard. Good pressure on the quarterback by the defense early. Offense needs to quit shooting themselves in the foot with penalties. Decent showing so far. Let's see how the 2nd quarter goes.

Wow huge blow for GB, you hate to see players get injured. GB becomes a little easier.

Cutler looked different on Saturday, I cant pinpoint but he had a different look in his eyes. He looked to be moving in the pocket better, a couple of times he made the smart move and ran with it instead of forcing a throw. On the play were he lowered his shoulder and tried to bull rush his way into the endzone it just looked like he was trying to make a statement. Preseason or not he was going all out. Did anyone else get the same feeling or was it the beer I was drinking???

Apparently a recently chronic problem and now out of practice. Something to take note of. "Now to you Jason..." http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...-a-back-problem

Bears with a quick 3 and out, then Bengals go 70+ yards and score a (questionable) TD. I thought we stopped them on 4th, but it's preseason.

Just a reminder that our first FFB draft starts in about 10 minutes.

Bears cutting Jennings...... Kind of surprised

https://twitter.com/ZachZaidman/status/638133068407140353 We must be posturing for the #1 pick, this is getting ridiculous. Jennings cut, Mundy on IR, secondary getting really thin.

#Bears have waived DB Malcolm Bronson, TE Kevin Greene, T Cameron Jefferson, WR Jeremy Kelley, CB AL Louis-Jean and LS Rick Lovato. #Bears have placed WR Kevin White on PUP list and S Ryan Mundy on injured reserve. They also cut CB Tim Jennings and RB Daniel Thomas. #Bears also have waived WR Levi Norwood, DE Olsen Pierre and TE Chris Pantale and waived/injured WR John Chiles.
