Bearstalk

Opinions on players selected, this draft brings foward something I am not used to see. There were two core groups with gaping needs, OL and LB. The Bears spent the first four picks selecting players for exactly those positions. There is no DE or Safety that were staples of the previous regime, depending on the 7th round to bring youth to the Ol. I like that the team this year saw needs and aggressively attacked the position. While I may or may not be excited about the players selected, Emery gets credit for not ignoring needs like the previous administration. I'm excited to see how this turns out. I think 2 Linemen, 2 LB's, and a half of a Brandon Marshall was …

From all accounts she was the original "Sweetness", may she rest in peace.

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...lb-decicco.html Liked the kid, he was a good ST player, But if it makes the team better, hey go for it.

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!

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

They mentioned this on NFL Live today but i didn't see it posted anywhere. He has had a very long recovery from his hip surgery but at least he's finally cleared for full practice.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/ I chose Halas, Ditka, Butkus & Payton....so many other worthy choices.

http://www.chicitysports.com/2013/06/12/ja...dding-pictures/ If anybody is interested, Brandon Marshall sighting!

Man will this ever stop.....I hope not we are building an O-line no matter what the cost(Bushrod) or where the players come from. My hats off to big E and the staff for trying to make the Bears champs once again http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2013/6/13...ol-a-j-lindeman

This short video gives a good glimpse into how Kromer coaches the oline. I have no clue about how past Oline coaches and OCs have done things but I do like Kromer's level of detail and decisiveness in how they have to do things, especially the combination blocks, my term for delayed blitzes and stunts, which I think we've really struggled with the last few years. http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/vid...dd-4621beb1c3ba

I'm amazed how many 1st Rd picks still have not signed their contract. I am very glad Emery kept Cliff Stein in the organization and continued to provide the resources to get all of our draft picks signed early. Detroit just got their 1st Rd pick signed yesterday and Packers and Vikings still don't have their picks signed. That's two of them for Minn.

I think anything negative about the Packers is Bears related and belongs on this site! http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1720418...s-training-camp

When I saw that Slausson used to play center I immediately craved him playing there over Garza. An interior line of Long-Slausson-Brown should be very, very solid if that's what ends up happening. When Slausson signed he said the Bears offered him the best plan for the future(or something along those lines) which was an odd statement coming from a guy who signed a 1 year contract. I'm really hoping he gets signed long term and we can see that Long-Slausson-Brown combo for years to come.

I havent been on here much lately, I have noticed the FF2 league thing and joined that but have never seen anything on the FF1 league(the money league). Did I miss something or hasnt there been anything about that league yet?
