Bearstalk

Just wondering if we've seen the last of Lance Briggs?

Bears get their first look at RG3, first sightings of Cutler and Forte on the field this season, Chris Williams and J'Marcus Webb supposedly splitting time with the first team at LT.

If you post on or view the boards at FF, then don't answer say who these 2 are- I sort of stole the idea from there. Which would you rather have after 2 years, and why? I'll tell you who they are in 2-3 days or so.

here is a little bit of a different take on assessing the current team and moving forward. Here is the 53 man roster, go through it as if you were a gm and decide who you think should stay, and who you think should go, and why. The idea is not to tell us who you would replace them with, but rather why you think they should no longer take up a roster spot. 95 Adams, Anthony* NT 97 Anderson, Mark* DE 20 Archuleta, Adam SS 94 Ayanbadejo, Brendon LB 73 Bazuin, Dan* DE 67 Beekman, Josh G 32 Benson, Cedric* RB 80 Berrian, Bernard WR 16 Bradley, Mark WR 55 Briggs, Lance OLB 96 Brown, Alex DE 30 Brow…

Last week, Jerry Angelo promised that the coming offseason would bring greater dedication to offensive talent and a close examination of the offensive game philosophy the Bears have displayed under this current regime and the previous 60+ years. Face it, Ron Turner ain't leavin'. But I can handle him sticking around if he can change his offensive scheme to be more aggressive and Lovie's "Get off the bus running" attitude has to bend more as well. The flavor of the day in the NFL is to be a "Pass first" offense. The top two teams in each conference (NE Pats, Indy Colts, Dallas Cowboys, and GB Packers) are ranked 1-4 in the league in passing. New England, the "Perfect…

Who are you most excited to see? For me it is White and the revamped defense.

Early reports are GB is making a play to get him...God please no!!

My guess, Landon Collins.

I just heard on the "Tirico & Van Pelt" show that Arizona is now considering "2nd round pick and other options" for Boldin. Not sure what kind of contract he is looking for though...

Christian McCaffrey is killing it, definitely a first round lock. Hopefully more RBs go in the first, which would be helpful for the Bears 2nd round pick.

Take it for what it is worth. Clearly the Bears and Ballard are interested. I think the Bears are lined up to meet with Ballard on Wednesday and are meeting with some other GM candidates today / tomorrow. My guess is by Friday Bears will introduce their new GM, if not sooner.

Here is a true evaluation of the season so far from Bears Beat Writer David Haugh with the following link: Link I may not have said it exactly this way in my previous posts however, David does get to the heart of the matter in regards to this team going from a Super Bowl participant to last place in the NFC Central Division a season later. Based on what David and I have seen, the Bears have quite a lot of holes to fix in order for this team to turn around once again. Notice that he does blame both Lovie Smith and Jerry Angelo for this mess together while not mentioning either one of them specifically. See what you think about what David has to say. I t…

Given that we still have Ron "The Burner of Hope" Turner....maybe it's moot. But would you want Norm? He did do some nice things with Vince Young last year...not so much this year. I think I'd make the swtich personally. What are your thoughts?

This is a very creative offense. They bring out just about every formation, the wishbone, the wildcat etc.. Their unique running style makes Chad Pennington look like a Pro Bowler when he's really just like Kyle Orton if you think about it. I wish the Bears would develop a clever offense like this, that keeps the defense on their toes. Bring that OC over here

unlike urlacher's skank, this one for some reason doesn't strike me as that type that is trying to get rich quick. Broken promise? CHILD SUPPORT | Briggs makes $7.5M a year, his child's mother says she gets $250 a week December 17, 2007 BY STEVE PATTERSON Staff Reporter/spatterson@suntimes.com In the latest chapter of a soap opera-like saga, Chicago Bear Lance Briggs is facing a nasty legal battle that could soon turn nastier. Brittini Tribbett, who has a 3-month-old baby with Briggs, says she's sharing a room with their baby at her mom's house, has turned to family for help buying diapers, and faces unpaid medical expenses and other bills -- de…

Here is part of a comparison of two names linked to the Bears. Overall Potential Ogletree: The potential is there for Ogletree to not only be one of the best ILBs in the NFL, but overall one of the best LBs in the league. He is one of the most physically gifted athletes I have studied in quite some time. He can fly around the line of scrimmage in pursuit of ball carriers; you can use his speed and quickness to rush the passer either from the middle or outside. In coverage, Ogletree patrols the middle of the field like a ball-hawking FS, showing the ability to make a play on the football. You can match him up with a big, athletic TE and feel comfortable that…

I lost a lot of respect for him after running his mouth on the radio during the whole Brandon Marshall thing. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0904-story.html

On PTI today, report saying Bill Cowher told Bills no but would want to coach the Bears or the Texans...... Please make this happen and Stoops to ND and i will be a very happy football fan everyone wants Lovie gone how about Cowher

I want Paxton Lynch as our back up to Cutler

Apparently the Bears scheduled a meeting with Ashton Jeanty right out of the gate. Some may read this to mean that we are very interested in drafting him, and we probably are. Doesn't mean we would pick him over other players we'd also be interested in drafting at that spot. But I also take it to mean that it increases the idea of someone trading up to get him if he is on the board when our pick comes, seeing that we have interest.
