Bearstalk

The Preseason finale is in 3 days! So we get Hard Knocks on Tuesday and Bears football on Thursday. Obviously with the quick turn around, I can't see the Bears playing any starters. So it will be curious to see how the team handles guys like Velus. If they don't suit up, they are basically on the 53-man roster. So we should know who the bubble players are on Thursday night.

The Texans signed Clemons so I would say D. Manning will be getting cut. Any takers for a 31 year old Manning?

According to NFL Network Drew Stanton has taken his "Dougie" to Indy. Terms of the deal have not been announced.

Julian Edelman was a solid NFL player but, does he deserve a NFL documentary before Hester?

It was announced on NFL.com that 13 players have accepted invitations to attend the draft. An impressive list: Table inside Article Name College Position Terrion Arnold Alabama Cornerback Jayden Daniels LSU Quarterback Marvin Harrison Jr. Ohio State Wide receiver J.C. Latham Alabama Offensive tackle Laiatu Latu UCLA Edge rusher Drake Maye North Carolina Quarterback …

http://www.chicagonow.com/blogs/league-of-...conference.html I especially love this comment below: "I could see them re-singing him. Because the status quo is not acceptable, but everything is okay. Which is why we need to make major changes, but not a massive overhaul. Because even though Lovie and Jerry have been really bad at their jobs, we trust them because they got us to the Super Bowl. So, to recap: everything is just fine. Major changes coming. But nothing major."

Will sign tomorrow.

OK, I need to flip the switch a bit and need to vent some positivity. There's a reason we are all Bears fans. Also, there are a lot of things many of us would like to see happen to the current team. I encourage anyone interested to join me in this therapeutic exercise... I'm going to give the five reasons I'm a Bears fan (in no particular order) and give five things that I think the team must do to improve this or next season (that are within the realm of possibility.) Five Reasons I'm a Bears fan: 1. Blood. My family is simply from Chicago. Marquette Park to be exact. 2. The history. There's just too much. From virtually starting professional f…

Saw this on twitter: Trade Bagent and Braxton to the Saints for Banks Jr LOL and while we are at it - we should trade DJ for Fields to fill the hole at QB2. LOL

Most years I get to watch the entire combine. Either live or recorded. This year I didn't, so I don't have as good of a handle as normally. So... Which guys have risen on your personal charts? Mid round guys who might have moved to bottom first. Nobodies who are now mid round guys. And also the late round sleepers. Who's the guy the Bears should get with a big surprise?

3-0 baby! And the defense doesn't have a damn thing to do with it. Our offense has done the work as our defense totally underwhelmed me. Through this start, the offense is leading their opponents in yards, points, 3rd down conversion % and time of possession. The defender was supposed to be a strength, but is has not shown yet. Whether it is the long drive or the big play, they keep getting gutted. A few things I have noticed: The pressure is there, but nobody is getting there! The result is this; QB has time to make reads and throws. DB's can't cover forever. In the run game I've noticed 3 things. Aside from Hicks, the d line is getting turned at the poi…

That is a lot of money for an RB. He is now the 6th highest paid RB, behind McCaffrey, Kamara, Elliott, Cook, and Henry. I never saw him in that group. GB is at least $12M over the cap, so expect a lot of restructuring or cuts before Wednesday.

Jay glazer has a cool video report on bears at foxsports.com

So my brother scored some tix to the Bears/Vikings game in Nov. Now the question is...where the heck can we tailgate?? I see that there are passes on sale on Ebay but holy smokes they want a pretty penny for those lots now! isnt there a lot off of I-80 by McCormick place that you can pay as you get there??? Any other suggestions other than underground? thanks!
