We signed tom nelson as a FS from the Bengals, but as i was reading up on this guy here are some things that make you wonder and go hhhuuuuuuummmmm???? First off he runs a 4.38 in the 40 yard dash (Hester runs the same) and he plays on special teams as a gunner and return man in college, he runs north and south with his good speed, as a FS he breaks on the ball well and is a good tackler...do you think he makes the team????

Admittedly I've never liked much of what Jones has done on the field. Despite having outstanding athleticism he seemed to have little ability to diagnose a play and get into the right position to stop it. Now just two weeks into this camp and here's Jone's being listed as one of the most improved players. If true he along with Kwiatkoski could give us excellent depth at ILB. Jones ability to run (and hopefully cover TEs) fits better as the backup to Trevathan while Kwit's skills fit better behind Freeman. I don't expect Trevathan to get many plays in preseason so we'll get plenty of opportunity to compare Kwit and Jones. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/chalk…

Trade down with Buffalo to 21 & 22 mandatory. ALABAMA 1. Calvin Ridley, WR 1. Rashaan Evans, ILB 2. Anthony Averett, CB 4. Da'Shawn Hand, 3-4DE 4. Tony Brown, CB 5. Robert Foster, WR 6. Bradley Bozeman, C, Alabama 7. Shaun Dion Hamilton, ILB OHIO STATE 1. Denzel Ward, CB 1. Billy Price, C 2. Jamarco Jones, OT 4. Sam Hubbard, DE 4. Jerome Baker, OLB 5. Tyquan Lewis, Edge 6. Chris Worley, ILB 7. JT Barrett, QB Neither are perfect, but I actually would be pretty happy with either draft.

Instead of dink and doink lets seem them do some duck and chuck. https://twitter.com/PFF_College/status/1408418758339792897/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1408418758339792897|twgr^|twcon^s1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fbearswire.usatoday.com%2F2021%2F07%2F01%2Fbears-qb-justin-fields-was-insanely-accurate-on-30-plus-yard-throws-at-ohio-state%2F anyway.

Quarterbacks (2): Jay Cutler, Caleb Hanie. When you have an elite quarterback, it's easy to go with just two. The team will look for a third for the practice squad and consider Brett Basanez. Running backs/fullbacks (5): Matt Forte, Kevin Jones, Garrett Wolfe, Adrian Peterson, Jason McKie. It's been an uphill battle for Peterson, but he ran very well at Denver and always has been reliable on special teams. ''I just show up on film,'' Peterson said when asked how he evaluated his chances. ''If they stick me out on the field, I am going to show up. I'm going to let the chips fall where they do. I'm not losing sleep over anything.'' Jones hasn't sparkled i…

Everybody is dinged up back there...EVERYONE is dinged up. Is it they are having to make plays the front seven should be handling? Or are they on the field too long? good golly they are all hurt back there.

I was looking something else up, and this came to mind. When was the last season the Bears had 10 or more losses, and how that compared to other teams? It has been 10 years since our last really bad losing season. Only the Patriots, Steelers, and Chargers have had a longer run. 1. Patriots - 2000 (3-2) - Brady 2. Steelers - 2003 (3-2) - Big Ben 2t. Chargers - 2003 (4-1) - Rivers/Brees 4. Bears - 2004 (2-3) - Cutler/Orton/Grossman/Griese 4t. Giants - 2004 (3-2) - Manning 6. Saints - 2005 (2-3) - Brees 7. Ravens - 2007 (3-2) - Flacco 8. Packers - 2008 (3-2) - Rodgers Besides the Chargers who essentially replaced a great QB with another, we are …

Harvin takes it to the house on opening kick for the Vikes.

Another former first rounder signed, mainly a St player but can play Edge too.

Because it's funny..who is to blame for Brady leaving NE? https://twitter.com/i/status/1240483951258591232

Heard on Waddle and Silvey that nobody is giving Philly a first round pick for Carson Wentz. Also, it's rumored that we are highly interested in Derek Carr.

Huge need filled. Now let's address QB.

Just need to do a quick recognition of Robert Quinn and his historic sack total. To think his highest number (19) was achieved during the 2013 (almost 9 years ago!!) season that’s pretty incredible. And while achieving this year’s record he also logged his 100th career sack. Congratulations Robert.

What I saw on defense is my biggest concern and that was confusion. The secondary even the LB's looked confused. Is this constant flip flopping with the safeties and LB's really doing any good ? By the third preseason game, shouldn't you know who your starters are ? " jack of all trades and master of none " is what I'm seeing here. Other teams will see this and use the no huddle and to compound this problem. I know they didn't scheme because they wanted to see "mano e mano " to evaluate each player. Well ... they got it and it didn't look so good. Starting with the 1st stringers: defensive DT's had couple of good plays but mostly were either man h…

NFL Still Plans To Try To Suspend The Williams Wall Posted by Mike Florio on June 2, 2009, 1:24 p.m. There’s an erroneous Associated Press report regarding Tuesday’s hearing in the case brought by Vikings defensive tackles Kevin and Pat Williams due to the StarCaps suspensions. The AP report initially said that the league’s lawyer told Hennepin County Judge Gary Larson that the NFL “won’t try to enforce its four-game suspension” of the two players. Not true, we’re told. The league instead told the Court that Kevin and Pat Williams will not be suspended until the first game of the regular season, and that in the interim they are free to participate in a…

Over $7M AAV for 2 years.

So Brad Biggs is reporting that Eberflus may have signed a FIVE year deal, thru the 2026 season. That would mean that the Bears would have to pay him TWO years of salary to get rid of him. Please say it aint so. If they keep him after this year, and waste another year of Caleb's window, we ought to all get torches and burn Halas Hall to the ground. For those without a sense of the dramatic, of course Im speaking figuratively. https://www.sportsmockery.com/chicago-bears/bombshell-matt-eberflus-report-may-stop-bears-from-firing-him/

Some uncertainty remains on the offensive line with seventh-round pick Kirk Barton in line for a job but in position to possibly be impacted by Fred Miller. The veteran is out of town at a family wedding this weekend and continues to mull his options, likely with the hope the Bears will move up from their offer of a minimum-salary benefit deal at $830,000. Guard Chester Adams, the seventh-round pick from Georgia, got good news when he learned he suffered only a sprained left medial collateral ligament at Cleveland.
