1. Evan Rodriquez. Did a great job blocking. Didn't look like a rookie. Not sure if we'll miss Clutts if he keeps this up and continues to get better. 2. Kyle Adams. One grab. Big grab. Make the most of your opportunities! 3. Wootten. The Favre killer punched one loose from Luck. One of the lone bright spots in the pass rush. We need more of this Corey! 4. Podlesh. Good kicks. 5. Gould. Is it fair not to give him props when all he does is just make kicks? Robbie rocks. 6. JT Thomas. great special teams play! This guy wants it! Love watching him play! If these guys and others keep it up...their efforts will be a huge part of our overall …

A good article on draft and trade values: http://www.windycitygridiron.com/2013/4/17...ft-value-charts Just like what many of us have said, the 49ers look like prime candidates for our pick if they want it. They have the picks and the value is good for both teams. One interesting one would be Miami with 42 and 54, would they be willing to do it, and would we be willing to drop 22 slots for #54. We would then have #42, #50, and #54, which actually seems like a really sweet spot in the draft for value vs performance. To me that would almost be like getting 3 new starters, and even possibly 2 OL.

Marcus Cooper 1 defensive snap. Markus Wheaton 1 offensive snap. Adam Shaheen 9 offensive snaps. WTF is this coaching staff doing? Peace

How about Fitzmagic and Ehlinger in the draft for next season? Leaves us the first pick for OT. I heard an interview with the Longhorn, seems pretty heady and smart. I’ll admit I watched next to noting in terms of Texas’ games this year.

I want a fast RB to compliment Montgomery, and hopefully someone who is better than Cohen at the combination role. Enter from Memphis Antonio Gibson..

I really like the new format where each conference gets an extra team. This prevents a team like the Redskins with a losing record from bumping a true playoff team like the Bears out of the dance. I also like that only the Conference regular-season champ gets a bye. That makes more sense as does a guaranteed home game for the division winners. Of the 6 Wild Card matchups, two are divisional games (Rams @ Seahawks and Browns @ Steelers). The Browns will have to beat the Steelers in back to back weeks to advance. All the games seem fairly even but the Bears are the biggest underdogs at -9.5. All the other games are between 3.5-6.5 pts. TEN @ BAL is a rematch (TEN won …

Here it is: I would like to see Redman and Shipley on that list come to Bears. Shipley kinda intrigues me.

OLB Khalil Mack, CB Kyle Fuller, returner Tarik Cohen, and FS Eddie Jackson. The biggest challenge will be getting Akiem Hicks into the Pro Bowl. The last I read he was way back in fan voting but I have to think players and coaches will close that gap. http://nfltraderumors.co/2019-pro-bowl-voting-leaders/

Smart move - just shut him down. https://www.bleachernation.com/bears/2019/12/21/akiem-hicks-ruled-out-for-sundays-game-vs-chiefs/ Peace

From last season, the Bears lost this much production from their passing game (Mooney, Tonyan, Foreman): 53-603-2 This is what they gained from adding Allen, Everett, and Swift: 198-1868-11 That is such a massive jump in production it would make the Bears have a 4500 yard passer with the difference (145-1265-9) added to last year's passing totals. For rushing totals, they go from: 109-425-4 to 229-1049-5. So 120-624-1 difference there as well. Adding over 2K yards of offense and 10 TDs cannot be understated.

1 year for $10 million?!?! Yikes!!!

It seems most if not all of the 2nd year QBs have struggled at some points during this offseason. We will see who is legit when the actual lights come on, but at least from a Fields perspective, he is not the only one who had a bad day or two this offseason. Lance: Jones: Wilson: Lawrence seems like the only one that has had a decent camp throughout, which is good for him. It makes sense going from Urban Meyer to Doug Pederson.

Illinois came back from being down 31-10 to Michigan State in the 3rd quarter and won 37-34 after scoring 27 points in the 4th. HC Lovie Smith was carried off the field by his players as they became eligible for their first bowl game since 2014. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/ncaafb/lovie-smith-carried-by-illini-players-after-comeback-win/ar-BBWwuzr?li=BBnb7Kzy

The Panthers have traded QB Teddy Bridgewater to The Broncos for a 6th round pick(191)

Payne and Wolfe out for the game and other tidbits. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=6295 Peace

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...otash03.article Some of his points can be argued. I thought the paragraph about the Bears not being able to recognize talent was well written. Benson over TJ, Mark over Alex, go down the list...I thought they were goofy decisions (except Rex in Orton's sophomore since Orton obviously wasn't ready). Nor was I in favor of ANY of those early contract extensions, lol, which says more about my philosophy. As it turns out, I misjudged Lance's talent and yet I was right anyway since playing hardball with Lance worked out for us.
