Bears | Have talked to Campbell's representatives Comment (0) Thu, 30 Apr 2009 13:44:53 -0700 Vaughn McClure, of the Chicago Tribune, reports the Chicago Bears have had discussions with the representatives for unrestricted free-agent LB Khary Campbell (Redskins), according to a league source. It is not known how serious the talks have been.

So I'm thinking, "What does this team need?" A defensive player who can shore up the line of scrimmage, stop the run, let our athletic LBs make plays, and generally be a nuisance to the other team. The best fit, in my opinion, is BJ Raji. He fits the bill for every criteria above. On top of that, there are other perks: 1) He's disillusioned with Green Bay. They stuck him at NT and didn't let him rush the QB at all. He turned down a big, multi-year contract already. 2) He'd obviously give the Bears insight into the bitter rival's schemes. 3) He fits the bill whether the Bears go 3-4, 4-3, or 3-3-5. In the 3-4, he's a classic NT. He might not be ha…

If you could draft ANY player from this draft, who would it be? (Regardless of pick selection). I'll reveal mine later.

My Pick Is Javon Wims.

The Bears have done another good job at creating excitement for this seasons team. The retooled defense will have a different look for sure. The offense will be a wait and see as they made some major moves too. I like to walk the edge with my player picks: Defense Deiondre Hall DB - this guy has good length, high football IQ, and does what it takes in run or pass. I do not see him getting much time to showcase his game early on unless there are injuries. His skill set will compliment Fuller well since he w is great against the run. Donatell will do good grooming Hall and I think he will be a name we watch making plays on Sundays. Offense Eddie Royal WR- …

Looking at some players that will make the PS this year I figure 2 to be a shoe in is Kinder and Knox. He showed flashes but Igeslias have shown more. So I figure the Bears will keep Rideau, DA, Hester, Bennet igeslias and Davis. But that only if Davis sticks, If released , look for Knox to make the roster. Any thoughts?

If the typical 5 technique is 6 foot 5 and 300 lb I can't see currently on our roster who plays this. Can Goldman drop 30lb and be quicker, can Lamar Houston play this position but may be bit short. Mitch Unrein has this size but shouldn't start for us. Who is available in the draft because it doesn't like my wish is going to happen that we trade for Wilkerson.

I did!!!!!... Not sure if it was the booze or the play. I was pretty nervous with that start of the game... D was ok but damn what a way to start on O... Great turn around tho... Really excited abou this O. The weapons are there!!! Oline just give Forte holes and cutler time and we will be alright!!!!!

My guess is Orton shines big in this game. Last week was a great confidence builder and he will use a lot of 3 step drops to get em to recievers. Both tight ends will shine because of the 3 step drops. Look for multiple TD's from them. Hester will break one on a recieveing play deep. It will have to happen to keep the D honest. I think Mckie will have a real tough game. His blocking will be key in the running game and I think he will get blown up. Babitch could have a real bad called game here. He will keep 7 in the box close but not close enough, if he doesnt call this game perfect we could be in for long day.

With Blanchard release it will be interesting to see if Edwards or Palmer can be out McCown for roster spots. I am not really comfortable as McCown as the number two.

I was looking at our rosterand came across with the notion that we have alot of beef but little talent. So with that being said out of the 10 players listed on the roster who would you keep and who will you give the pink slip too? Johan Asiata 6'4 300 (G) Robetro Garza 6'2 310 (G) Levi Horn 6'7 315 (T) Herman Johnson 6'7 360 (G) Olin Kreutz 6'2 292 © Lance Louis 6'3 305 (G) Frank Omiyale 6'4 315 (T) J'Marcus Webb 6'8 335 (T) Chris Williams 6'6 315 (T) Edwin Williams 6'3 313(G/C)

Maybe the real question isn't that Jay yelled...but who should he have yelled at? Webb is a talentless hack. Shouldn't Tice have 1. known that going in 2. if he didn't see it going in, shouldn't he have adjusted for it? I get yelling at Webb. As I've mentioned in other posts, the guy seems to check out mentally. H'es like the kid playing soccer picking at the lawn instead of paying attention to the game. And for some mental lapses, he does deserve to get get called out. But he's such a Baby Huey that isn't that really Tice's failure? Between the horrific game planning (no 1st down runs, no short passes, no screens, no helping Webb) and no adjustme…

What about Lebron James? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d822d...n=Facebook_news (Only partially serious)

So it's cutdown time. Who do we bring in for a look? Here are some guys I'm thinking about: Maurice Evans/Robert Henderson, DEs, Giants (Evans - 6'2" 264 lbs.; Henderson - 6'3" 278 lbs.) - The Giants cut Evans and Henderson...they've got a surplus of DEs already, and it's not like it'd be easy to beat Justin Tuck, Osi, or any of those other guys for a roster spot. Evans has a bunch of question marks - poor 40 at the combine, got arrested once for pot possession - but his 2007 season makes me think he should get a shot. He racked up 12.5 sacks and 21.5 tackles for a loss. Henderson has the measurables, and in his 33 college starts at RE, he had 29.5 TFL and 13…

Wit the name listed below as our own FA.....who do you think we need to re-sign. My choices are in Bold L. Briggs LB UFA E. Britton OT UFA J. Cain C UFA B. de la Puente C UFA J. Feely PK UFA D. McCray SS UFA S. McManis CB UFA J. Morgan WR UFA M. Owens RB UFA T. Scott DE UFA D. Sharpton LB UFA C. Tillman CB UFA D. Williams LB UFA

Who should: Tillman, Urlacher, Peppers, Forte, Mannelly, and Briggs. Who will: Urlacher, Forte, Peppers, and Briggs. Ultimately, other teams' fans won't see the picks there for Tillman so they won't vote him in, and for some reason, Mannelly has never made a Pro Bowl. Thoughts?

I guess its who you think the NFL wants as the first game. We will be better latter in the year so I would rather we play our division games later. I think if they have the top two QBs drafted play on Monday night. They could sell the new QBs to the nation.

We have players returning from injury but there are questions about who will remain a starter. Bushrod should be close to returning. I haven't heard anyone clamoring for him to get back on the field, not even our Oline guru Jason (not that Bushrod was a favorite of his). Will Leno stay as our starter when Bushrod is healthy? I think we're going with the future here so I say yes. Grasu...I think once he recovers from his neck injury he'll be back at center. That brings up the option of Ducasse moving back to RG or do we keep Omameh at RG and put Ducasse on the bench? I think our starting Oline becomes Leno, Slausson, Grasu, Omameh, and Long. SMC..…
