I thought they needed another QB prospect to groom but it appears they like Blanchard a lot so that derailed the pickup. I think they need another DT and that still could happen. With training camp approaching there will still be some cuts. I think the possibility exists Idonije still comes our way. I think most of the roster is set with a few fringe players to be added and subtracted. I think the possibility still exists that Hester and Weems could be gone. They only do one thing and with a tight budget, ,may not be enough. I think our WRs are on the roster, with the first 3 set and the 4th and 5th will be filled by our prospects. Who will be cut? Obvious…

I am getting sick of the media mentioning how many targets Marshall had last year, and how Cutler was zeroing in on him compared to other QB's. So what about Stafford to Johnson or Luck to Wayne, who had as many targets as Marshall? I rarely hear those two QB's mentioned. Andre Johnson, AJ Green, Larry Fitzgerald, Stevie Johnson, and Victor Cruz all had a high percentage of their teams targets, yet none of them seem to have the negative stigma put on them about being targeted too much. An interesting note is that Marshall led the league in targets in 2007 and 2008, yet I don't remember stories about him being targeted too much by Cutler back then. To me, I co…

The Bears signed Maurice Jones a CB, kind find much about him, but is a rookie, UDFA player. They did this after Dropping Andre Fluellen/DT back to the old drawing board with the DT position.

It is funny how the internet takes you down rabbit holes. First I see this article about 3 Bears players playing for the same H.S. : http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...03-85c5d4e82962 then I start reading up on Onobun, who at the time of his signing, didn't seem to draw much attention (rightfully so). However, looking at his Pro Day: this guy seems to have all the physical attributes to succeed, but only played football one year in college (and still was drafted in the 6th round), so he is still raw. With his ties to Bennett, could this guy develop into our #2 pass catching TE eventually?

URL just announced on who say that he's decided to retire. God bless all the memories

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/n...hilles/2350547/ I hate to see players get injured, but this will definitely hurt the 49ers, and will have some fantasy impact as well. Maybe Carimi was trying to avoid an injury by not participating, good call mate!

Does he belong in the pantheon? Does he belong in the HoF? Let's make a quick comparison... Player A: 12 seasons, 179 games, 19 sacks, 7 INTs, 0 TDs, 12 Fumble Recoveries (FRs), 1488 tackles*, 2 DPOY, 10 Probowls Player B: 12** seasons, 180 games, 41.5 sacks, 22 INTs, 2 TDs, 15 FRs, 1358 tackles***, 1 DPOY, 8 Probowls Player C: 9 seasons, 119 games, ??? sacks, 22 INTs, 27 FRs, 1020 tackles****, 2 DPOY*****, 8 Probowls Which player is better? A case could be made for any of the three. They're that close. Player A is Singletary. Player B is Urlacher. Player C is Butkus. It's sort of an apples to oranges discussion considering defensive sch…

With all the off season moves we made IMHO we have the chance to be a really good team from position to position. I think at maybe the secondary will be our only weakness. QB Cutler, McCown, Blanchard Cutler will start of course but McCown is not scare to throw the ball and the staff seem to be high on Blanchard RB Forte, Bush, Allen, Ford, Unga, Forte is the starter and with the new staff will be more involved in the passing game than he was last year, Bush will be the short yards guy Unga gets cut, and Allen and Ford will fight it out for the 3rd RB spot WR Marshall, Jeffery, Bennett, Anderson, Golden, Fields, Lenz, Wilson, We…

I've seen all the quotes from Steve Young, Gannon, and others about how great a role Trestman played in their development. Those were all good to hear in terms of QB development. But this quote from Jim Harbaugh really gives me a good feeling we have the right coach. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...t-me-everything ----------------------------------------- San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday that new Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman "taught me everything" when they were on the Oakland Raiders coaching staff, and he still uses many of Trestman's techniques. "Everything wouldn't be an overstatement," Harbaugh said Friday on "Th…

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/chalk-tal...d0-394fa8a6cdcf Will Lance Briggs be moved to middle linebacker to control the defense? Seriously? SERIOUSLY!? These are the questions he gets? These are the questions he answers?! If the question was sent from someone on this board...

Interesting to see after the fact. Probably puts to bed any sense that the Cowboys would have taken Long over Frederick. http://www.bloggingtheboys.com/2013/5/30/4...e-7-round-board

I thought they did a good job, didnt always agree with them, but worth checking out,especially around draft time.
