I don't have HBO at the moment but I'd definitely opt to get it if it means I got to watch the inner workings of the Bears. Maybe we can see why the Bears like Tucker so much lol.

Could disappoint in '09 Chicago Bears Why the pessimism? Believe it or not, the Bears had the third-worst pass defense in the league last year ... at least yardagewise (241.2 yards per game). They were fifth overall in stopping the run, which is a pretty wide gulf. Even with the arrival of Jay Cutler, I'm just not sure if the Bears offense is going to be significantly better this season since he doesn't have any reliable receivers to throw to. In other words, we could be in for more of the same. And oh, by the way ... Chicago only registered one special teams touchdown last season, which is certainly far less than we're accustomed to seeing from them. Worst-ca…

If 2010 is an uncapped yr, FA goes to 6 yrs from 4. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...,1209508.column Peace

Apparently, since the Bears practice at Olivet Nazarine University, if the Lockout starts leading to a delay in the start of the season/end of training camp, the Bears may be forced to either break camp early or else find a fully new camp location. The Fall semester starts August 27th.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfp-...all_for_nothing This is hilarious, to think that no one contacted the Dolphins about Marshall except for the Bears. I can think of at least 5-6 teams that would've taken the "risk". The best part is that Miami would have just released him. That would've created an even bigger firestorm and would've been a horrible move. The Dolphins would still be on the hook for the rest of the guaranteed money and would've had a residual cap hit. That would've went over really well in Miami. It seems like Ross is just trying to save face and show how good of a negotiator management is by getting 2x 3rd rounders for someone th…

We'll let you get open and catch the ball, but we're going to try and tackle you when you catch it.

Any info? I see it on the scroll on ESPN.

The Bears waived 14 players Friday, including guard Johan Asiata, fullback Eddie Williams, wide receivers Andy Fantuz and Onrea Jones, and linebacker Chris Johnson. The group also included nine undrafted rookies: Linebackers Tressor Baptiste and Deron Minor, cornerbacks Antareis Bryan and Ryan Jones, tackle Josh Davis, punter Spencer Lanning, defensive end Jake Laptad, center Alex Linnenkohl, and receiver Jimmy Young. The only player waived Friday who has played in a regular-season game for the Bears is Asiata, who appeared in the first two contests last year. The Bears still must cut 13 more players by 5 p.m. Saturday to reach the NFL’s 53-man roster limit…

Bears terminate contracts of T.Harris, H.Hillenmeyer, and K.Shaffer, per everyone's twitter.

The Bears need to cut at least 37 players to get to 53. Here is an updated list I will keep as current as possible throughout the next few days: Bears’ cut list (24): QB Tyler Bray RB Ryan Nall RB Josh Caldwell WR Tanner Gentry WR Marvin Hall WR Jordan Williams-Lambert WR Thomas Ives TE Ian Bunting TE Jesper Horsted OL Marquez Tucker OL Joe Lowery LS John Wirtel DE Jonathan Bullard NT Daryle Banfield DE Jalen Dalton DL Jonathan Harris ILB Jameer Thurman OLB Matt Betts OLB Chuck Harris OLB Kylie Fitts CB Doyin Jibowu CB Clifton Duck CB John Franklin III CB Stephen Denmark

First I heard this on a Brad Biggs tweet that last summer the Bears declined an offer to trade for Shea McClellin to the Texans.New Bears LB coach was with the Texans and is familiar with Shea. Wonder what the offer was.

Some fairly impressive numbers from the Bears defense. In general, they are clearly better than last year and have improved even more since players got healthy and the acquisition of Sweat. Both Sweat and Edwards are playing at Pro Bowl levels. #1 against the Run (79 yds/game) #3 Interceptions (13) #9 Total Yards Allowed (318 yds/game) #11 Turnovers (20) #16 Passes Defended (50) #19 Defensive DVOA (last season they finished #32) #22 against the Pass (248yds/game) TJ Edwards #2 in tackles (125), also has 2 sacks, 2 INT, and 1 FF Jaylon Johnson #7T in interceptions (3) Montez Sweat #12 in sacks (9), (4g, 2.5 sack…
