Bearstalk

Does anyone know what the Depth Chart will be for tomorrow's game. I am kinda wondering at WR specifically and does any one know if Dusty D will play tomorrow. I am assuming that KJ will play tomorrow.

Rex Grossman needs good showing vs. Seattle An interesting article but mistitled in my opinion. It has far less to do with the title than it does with 10 topics of discussion that the author makes on issues for the Bears to face, only 1 of the 10 being Rex vs Kyle. My favorite point of the 10 mentioned:

I was looking for the DEVIN HESTER YOU ARE RIDICULOUS Joniak call as a ringtone, and I found a site where you can make ringtones. www.cellfish.com I was wondering if 1. anyone knows a site where it is and 2. if not, can you make one for me? I'll PM you my number if it needs it to send the ringtone to. I'm not exactly high tech so I don't know how to make them. Thanks guys!

TALKBEARS CHAT ROOM

PFT is talking about Miami's QB situation. W/ Pennington added, and you have to believe Henne is a lock, that will leave one spot for two other QBs, McCown and Beck. McCown was signed in the offseason, and got some bonus money too. Beck was a 2nd round pick in 2007. One is likely to go. They make some points why Beck could be on the block, or cut. It could be McCown, but I think there is enough logic to make Beck a reasonable choice. Anyway, I know all here have fallen in love w/ Hanie, but if Beck were available, what are the thoughts. I don't know a ton about him. He wasn't very impressive as a rookie, but was a rookie, and on Miami. He was a 2nd rou…

Status of Bears rookie Williams up in the air Article from the way we hear it - PFW:

Article about the wrap up session in training camp I would have loved to have seen this: KJ must have hit Okwo like a Mack Truck to knock his mouthpiece out. I liked what I saw in Forte last week and like what I am hearing about KJ. Could be a dynamite duo!

Conditioning has Rex Grossman optimistic about 2008 A good article on Rex and his attempt to win the starting position at QB. I must admit, I admire his work ethics mentioned in the article. He is definately attempting to do everything possible to turn his career around. Will it be enough? Did he wait too long to work his butt off? Time will tell, I will be anxious to see how this translates on the field this Saturday. Unfortunately, I have a fantasy football league draft at 6:30 PM Central for a league at work so I will have to watch a recorded version after the draft is over. Therefore, I will not be able to be on the foum to comment during the game and …

http://www.charlestillman.org/ Feel free to send him your well wishes if you so choose...I have. There is no news on his issues on ths site.

I swear it seems like Tillman has missed 1/2 of camp, and all that is said is "he was excused for personal reasons". Articles say no one is talking, and frankly, the papers are not making an issue of it, almost like they know what is up themselves, and are showing respect. While I am not trying to be disrespectful, what the hell is going on? Reading the camp report from last night, I saw where Tillman was once again excused for personal reasons. Living in Dallas, I get little local stuff, and was wondering if any of you living in Chicago have heard even rumors what is up. Privacy is one thing, but this isn't a guy missing a couple practices. I really think…

I've been thinking about our OL almost exclusively, this off season. I'm thinking we have some highly tradeable talent on this roster that we can utilize to upgrade the OL. The reason I'm talking trade is because I want a rising player, not a cap cut or scrap heap player. Here's a look at our tradeable players. D. Manning - will not hurt us to be gone. Cap friendly for whoever may want him. R. Manning -Obviously already on the block. Cap friendly for us and may fill a huge need for a deprived team. A. Adams - Looking good for us, but we are deep. Cap friendly for both. I. Idonije - Again, we are deep. Buffalo still may want. Cap friendly again. A. Og…

There may be those looking at the give and take between Nfoligno and me thinking we hate each other. I suggest you read between the lines. Obviously Nfoligno is dumb as a box of rocks, but I think he and I both agree on one thing... We're just having fun. We'll need a sense of humor this season fellas. Let's always remember this is a sport, something we enjoy, something we really care about... But it ain't life. No matter what happens this year, let's try to keep it fun on this site.

Alright, who has 09 already. I want to get reviews before I go out and spend 50$ for it. I like 08 a LOT better than 07, but wanted to make sure the trend continues. Also, what'd they end up ranking the Bears for this season? And Grossman's rating, I'm just interested in if they brought it way down from the 08 season.

Zach Zaidman (sp?) who is the SCORE Bears reporter and WBBM's sideline reporter during the games believes that the Bears will keep on 2 QBs on the roster and try to get Hanie on the practice squad. His thought is the roster spot that is eaten by Williams will be used to keep another offensive lineman and thus the Bears will only be able to keep 2 Qbs on the roster. Peace

The 2009 draft started today and we had the #1 overall pick. From everything you have heard about, what you expect is our biggest weakness, etc., who would you take and why?

well isn't it obvious he'll be 1 or the other

I just wanted anyone interested to tell me what they thought of the draft I did today... 1st overall pick - Adrian Peterson 20th pick - Derek Anderson 21st pick - Thomas Jones 40th pick - Steve Smith 41st pick - TJ whos your momma 60th pick - Fred Taylor 61st pick - Hines Ward 80th pick - Bears D/ST 81st pick - Alge Crumpler 100th pick - Jeff Garcia 101st pick - Ricky Williams 120th pick - Heath Miller 121st pick - Amani Toomer 140th pick - Cleveland D/ST So, My overall Depth chart will be: QB - Derek Anderson, Jeff Garcia RB - Adrian Peterson, Thomas Jones, Fred Taylor, Ricky Williams WR - Steve Smith, TJ Housmenzadah, Hines W…

from cnnsi.com Cowboys, Bears scouting Simms For 20 minutes, he was a football player again. Not a rehab case. Not a disgruntled employee. Not a trading chip. Chris Simms had an entire field in front of him and was anxious to put the past behind. As auditions go, this was a keeper. Simms was effective by most standards, and pretty darned impressive when you consider it was his first extensive playing time in nearly two years. He completed 8 of 10 passes for 60 yards and a 91.7 QB rating on his three possessions, and he drove the Bucs to one touchdown and one missed field goal. For Simms, the results are probably incidental. If he continues to play well, maybe anot…

http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/10/...rankings-no-25/ He makes some good points but I don't think this reflects reality. We have a shot at the playoffs in my opinion. I guess we'll see...

I just thought it was funny that majority of the voters believe that grossman will take an edge after Saturdays game. Orton completed 70% of his passes for 56 yards and rex completed 50% of his passes for 44 yards. The td was more of wolfes ability than rexs performance. Also how many of rexs plays came against the KC defensive starters. We will see who pulls ahead now that rex will be playing some defensive starters. I thought Kyle did a good job, and will not be surprised if Kyle does pretty good coming of the bench.
