Bearstalk

Blast the list all you want, but here's a list of reasons why the Urlacher move was bad: 1) It hurts the clubhouse. Urlacher was an undeniable leader to the team. 2) It hurts with potential free agents. Urlacher is a respected figure in the NFL and his opinion has weight with other players. 3) His leadership will be gone on the field. Now the Bears will have to transition to another play-caller who doesn't understand the calls or personnel as well. 4) The Bears are hindered in the draft. Where before they could flexibly target a LB, now they pretty much have to get one in the first two rounds. 5) A majority of the fanbase is not happy. Like it or not, …

Bears sign blocking TE Steve Maneri to a 2 year deal. Fun fact: he's Blake Costanzo's cousin.

Jj tweaked a hammy. Then ran the 40 in 4.85-4.92 any chances he falls and is he worth the injury risk My man Rambo ran 4.52 i read

Looks like this guy might be doing some volunteer work at PFF lol Just gotta hope I can come up with 25 dollars to buy an NFL rewind subscription. This site really needs a catch all thread, I feel dirty posting this in a new thread but I thought it was fantastic news and something Jason would love to hear. Gonna piss a lot of people off by there being no real news here lol

1 We fire Lovie and the staff 2. We signed CB LeQuan Lewis and let DJ Moore go Lewis is bigger and faster and with special teams ability as a return man. 3. We sign Martellus Bennett TE (can catch & block)and cut Davis and Spaeth who were not good at either 4. We sign Jermon Bushrod LT to replace Webb and move Webb to RT 5. We re-sign Melton & Collins at DT and cut Toeaina 6 We re-sign Bowman in case Hayden leaves(nothing major here)still looking for help at this position 7. We sign Turk McBride just in case Idonije and Okoye dont come back (played for the Chiefs) http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...93-9efbe2fad27e …

We have the following on the roster, so who do you place where and draft to fill a need? The bold are starters right now LT Bushrod,Brandon LG Brown, Riley C Garza, Williams RG Carimi, Pieschel RT Webb,Dennis

If it was me I would have taken the one year deal....got on the field and played 'lights out" and made them resign me again earning the money!!!!

Would done that in a heartbeat

RT @RapSheet: Speaking of the #Bears: They still want to re-sign DE Israel Idonije and are trying to do so. Must fight off the #49ers to make it happen

I heard they signed him for one year, at MLB

Round 1: LB Arthur Brown - With Cooper off the board at 20. This is a no brainer Brown is a team leader and fantastic athlete Round 2: Trade Down late for a 3rd OT/G Kyle Long - Pedigree and all. I dont think he gets passed Philla in 2nd, but who knows Option 2: OT/GDallas Thomas - Very versatile can make our Left side top notch Round 3: C Brian Schwenke Impressed at Combine - 31reps Round 4: WR Kenny Stills Super speed and played for a winning school Round 5: LB Zavier Gooden Crazy speed 4.47 and reps 27. Great Athlete Round 6: CB Steve Williams Please Dont scrutinize the value of trades, just for shits and giggles

RT @seankjensen: BREAKING: #Bears are expected to sign former Buffalo Grove and Notre Dame safety Tom Zbikowski, according to sources. Yawn

We are signing guys to our roster to help out on special teams and in the secondary. but some of the players we have gotten have some experience in the punt/kick off return area. So is this a sign for Hester to get his act together or be replaced? We have the following Tom Zbikowski http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHfyjYU8oTA...A09067C76C8F102 Tom Nelson Lequan Lewis Eric Weems Earl Bennett has done some returns as well

The draft will fill some of our roster spots, but other than the first two rounds, how much will you be able to count on them for major contributions. We still have some roster spots to fill that has to get done. We still need a backup QB. I think McCown is the logical choice, due to our comfort zone with him and he will be cheap. Also Campbell could come back but after paying him 3.5 mil last year , I dont see him playing cheap. Unless its a high draft pick, I dont see us getting our #2 in the draft. Other possibilities, Kolb, Grossman, and Brady Quinn. conclusion: Campbell will cost to much and didnt look good last …

As per PFT. Althogh he's visiting with the Cowboys and Lions. The Dolphins are also interested. Offensive guard is one area with have not addressed in free agency. (which leads me to suspect we plan on starting Carimi at guard). It would be huge if we could add Moore to stabilize the line. Although he plays at RG which means we'd need to move either him or Lance Louis to LG (assuming Louis resigns.)

DT Melton, Collins, Paea DE Peppers, McBride, McClellin, Ozougwu, Whiteside, Wootton COMMENTS: We have only three tackles on the roster with the loss of Toeaina, so I see us signing or drafting one,or do we resign either Idonije or Okoye and I see both Ozougwu, Whiteside both getting cut at DE and picking up a FA to fill that spot SLB Briggs, Franklin, Trahan MLB Costanzo, DeCicco WLB Williams,Thomas, Wilson COMMENTS:With the loss of Urlacher, Roach and Hayes we need help here. Picking up Williams was good but is he the replacement for Urlacher or Roach i say Roach, so we need a MLB, I say Franklin,Trahan and Wilson get cut. Is t…

Since Emery is suppose to be a draft guru and is willing to trade down. Here is a list of draft possibilities: ( Last years draft as of now doesnt look very good but I think he was handcuffed with Lovie in his ear) SF picks 31 34, 61 74, 93 128, 131c 157, 164 180 222, 237, 246c, 252c With there highest pick being 31 and having a solid roster to begin with I see them trading picks to get a higher quality pick going forward. I would say 20 for 34-74-128-180. That also works out on the draft trade chart. Buf 8 41 71 105 143 177 There is dire need of a QB and at #8 that is to high to grab one of them. So I think at 20 t…

http://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dspro...&genpos=ILB Kiko ran a 4.74 and didnt lift. However, he was said to be impressive in all LB Drills

Another LB. Good depth and fits the scheme. 275 tackles from 2010-2012 (2 years).
