Manning won't guarantee Week 1 start Posted: Wednesday August 20, 2008 06:41AM ET Quarterback Peyton Manning was in the building Tuesday morning as the Indianapolis Colts went through a get-to-know-you practice session at Lucas Oil Stadium. The question that remains unanswered, though, is: Will the NFL's two-time MVP be on the field when the Colts open the regular season Sept. 7 against the Chicago Bears? Colts owner Jim Irsay conceded "it'll be close on Peyton. Only he will know if he's ready. I think there's a good chance he will be. "We know there's more rehab ahead, but he is on schedule. The anticipation is he'll be ready, but it'll be close." Manning's availabil…

Running game showing signs of improvement By Bob LeGere | Daily Herald StaffContact writerPublished: 8/25/2008 12:03 AMSend To: The Bears' 109 rushing yards (on 22 carries) against the San Francisco 49ers wasn't spectacular, but it was a big improvement over the previous week's 51 yards on 20 carries. Most important, it stanched the pass rush that overwhelmed the Bears against Seattle. "I think it definitely helped," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said. "(Against the Seahawks) we came out and threw it a lot early. Even though we had a couple runs called, we audibled to a couple passes because of bad looks. But (against the 49ers) we came out and ran th…

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.

Per Sun Times. So who is left? And will we pick up an Olineman off waivers?

I was close

I mean what are they doing? Are they planning to trade up and filling roster spots ?

Hope he continues to age. Geesh...

Delete thread por favor

I found this article rather interesting. Really shows you just how good Donald was at getting in the backfield, and how Jernigan should be looked at as more of run stuffer than a 3 tech. http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/cfb/4665...k-dt-metrics-10 With Houston potentially, or perhaps likely, moving inside on passing downs I wouldn't totally be against taking Jernigan, but I still would love Donald. Wish they would have analysed more.

Chicago Bears ‏@ChicagoBears 4m LM: #Bears have retained veteran OL Eben Britton, who has agreed to a 1-year contract. Saw this one coming, surprised it took so long.

The Bears brought in Darius Reynaud/RB formally of somebody. I think he was with the Titans for awhile. A potential KR/backup RB

Because I have to stop. 1) Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville - Donald and HaHa are gone, making this an easy pick. **Trade down in 2nd for extra 4th and 7th** 2) Kelcey Quarles, DT, South Carolina - I'm not convinced there's much difference in the 2nd/3rd round DTs and I'm not sure the Bears do either, which is why a trade down makes sense. Guys have a history of either underachieving (McCullers), injury (Easley), weight (Sutton) or something. The Bears take a healthy guy who big question mark is "How much better did Clowney make him look?" The Bears spent time with him at the combine and they love their SEC players. 3) Marqueston Huff, CB, Wyoming - This seems lik…

He says that when he watched Nix on film he seemed to be on the ground too much. That is a big no no to DL coaches because they feel you can't make a play on the ground.

Just realized that fanspeak has updated their big board after round 1: Here is my first mock with out any trades: http://fanspeak.com/ontheclock/sharedraft.php?d=xhtevf The link will show all the simulated picks for each team so you can see who was picked before / after Bears selection in each round.
