Bears | T. Harris predicts Super Bowl Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:31:48 -0700 The NFL Network reports Chicago Bears DL Tommie Harris feels the defense has the capabilities to be the best in the league and predicts the team going to the Super Bowl.

Was watching the replay this morning and heard this too. Could've swore it sounded like Jay was expressing his displeasure. Or was it that little Harry Potter looking troll that is always following him around when the O is off the field? Either way I feel Martz' days are numbered in Chicago. http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/89782...day-night-video

http://www.chicagobears.com/news/article-1...541ab3398#start DeAndre Houston-Carson is the sleeper that is going to surprise a lot of people in my opinion.

Just a joke (mostly), but in truth an all Florida State draft would address a lot of holes on this team and isn't too unrealistic, I don't think: *Trade down in first and 5th for extra 3 & 4 1) Timmy Jernigan, DT 2) Terrence Brooks, S 3) Lamarcus Joyner, CB 3) Christian Jones, LB 4) Devonte Freeman, RB 4) Telvin Smith, LB 6) Bryan Stork, C/G 6) Kenny Shaw, WR Any other "one college" drafts that would work?

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.

Bobby Wade apparently had some information about what Urlacher thinks of Cutler: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/category/rumor-mill/

This is a tale of polar opposites. The #1 Passing team in the league (TB) vs the 32nd Passing team in the league (CHI). TB is also the #1 rushing defense. So it is: TB Passing #1 vs CHI Pass Def #8, TB Rushing #28 vs CHI Rush Def #16 CHI Passing #32 vs TB Pass Def #27, CHI Rushing #7 vs TB Rush Def #1 So in a way, it is strength vs strength and weakness vs weakness. Bears lead the league in sacks with 21. TB only has 12. TB has 7 INTs, the Bears have 4 (thanks Jackson). TB has beaten ATL, NE, MIA, and PHI, and lost to LAR. So they really haven't beaten a team with more than 2 wins. In contrast, the Bears have beaten CIN and LVR, both at …

It's still very early, but if the draft were tomorrow, how do you see it panning out? 1-Miami~~~~~Chris Long DE Virginia Miami will look to get out of the first pick to aquire more picks to re-tool. Chris Long DE, fits Parcells 3-4 defense, so they may reach a little here if no trade partners are out there. 2-St. Louis~~~Glenn Dorsey DT LSU Many people are saying St. Louis grabs Jake Long to replace Orlando Pace at LT, but they drafted Alex Barron a couple of years ago to fill that roll. The Rams defense is in a dire need of a run stopper and Dorsey is that man. 3-Atlanta~~~~Darren McFadden RB, ARK Arthur B…

14-0 Minnesota already after a 82 yard punt return for a TD and a 40 yard TD catch- both by Berrian. Go to hell, Arizona.

8th game this season that has gone down to the last minute. QB: Off day for Cutler. I'm not one to blame him for the INT as those are not even "read" plays you just have to trust the WRs execute correctly. I don't think we called that play again the rest of the game. Beyond that he was inaccurate on deep throws and generally didn't seem comfortable reading the defense. Maybe that's because nobody could get open. Regardless not his best week. RBs: I like Forte but I will take the extra $$$ and keep Carey and Langford as our 1/2 next season and bring in some more competition for the 3rd spot. Forte runs with good vision he just doesn't have the quickne…

Dude should be run out of the NFL. He should have been fired before Emery, Trestman, or anyone else.

Our Papa Who art a Bear Hallowed be thy fame Thy championships come Thy play be run At home as it is away Give us this day Jay Cutler And forgive us of our turnovers Though we pounce on those who turnover against us And lead Cutler not to another team But deliver us from Orton.

I'm thinking somewhere between 15-20. Does anyone know? Peace

The media has said it, we have said it and other players have said it and so on... The Bears OL is not what it used to be. My flat out opinion is this. Fix the OL 1st and the rest will follow. I believe the Sinclair move to OG is a start, as he is more athletic than Metcalf and Beekman is obviously useless. I don't want hear the rookie blah blah either. OG is the easiest offensive position to learn and play. For off season plans, I would start with telling Tait to tailor his workouts and film study for the right side. IMO - it was a great move placing him at LT when they did, but on the other hand a bonehead move leaving him there for three years with noone el…

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2013/...ffensive-lines/ I want better than adequate at LT but Webb deserves a shot somewhere on the line.

I'm interested to see what you would do in this situation: Ryan Clady and Kenny Phillips are off the board by 14. So are Brohm and Matt Ryan. You try to trade down but there are no takers. What do you do (and please let me know who specifically you would take): a. Draft Andre Woodson, QB, Kentucky b. Reach a bit for an OT (Jeff Otah or Sam Baker) c. Draft a RB (Johnathan Stewart or Rashard Mendenhall) d. Draft a WR (Desean Jackson or Malcom Kelly) e. Do something else I'm actually participating in a Mock Draft this weekend, and that seems like a reasonable scenario, so I'd be interested to see what people think. Personally, I'm tempted to take Jeff …

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 17m17 minutes ago John Fox says Lamarr Houston will be played first at OLB, which is what is expected. Now that is interesting.

I would say we still need to draft a DT, CB, OT, with the next two picks. Hope they can figure how to do that.
