We have the 7th pick in the draft...if Mariota falls to us at that spot...and the Browns want him would you trade our spot for their #12 and #19 picks? If so then who would you pick at #12 and #19?

There are many reasons why the Bears could go either way on the TE issue, but I believe getting rid of Bennett makes the most sense for a few reasons. 1. He has a $6M+ cap hit next year. He'll want a contract extension/raise, again, and Miller will require much less money. That $6M+ is way more than Bennett's worth, especially considering the following: 2. He appears to be a character concern. He's one of those odd players who wants to do way more stuff than just football, similar to one of the main anti-Marshall comments. The fact that he skipped the entire voluntary offseason program doesn't gain support from the coaching staff either. 3. Statistically, …

I remember after last year's draft all the "experts" were blasting Tennessee for drafting RB Chris Johnson when they so badly needed a WR. All Johnson did was help them establish the #2 running-game in the NFL, next to the Giants, and help establish them as arguably the #1 team in the NFL. This is a copy-cat league, and we're not that far off from doing what they did on offense. Which is: #1--Establish a dominate running game. This means we'll need to add another explosive running back and beef up on our offensive line. A lot would hinge on how good Chris Williams can be. #2--Utilize the TE's: Tennessee's top WR was Bo Scaife, and they used Algae Crumpler …

Ted was on the SCORE this morning with Mully & Hanley. The interview will be available on their website soon. Highlights (paraphrasing Ted): - The fact that a player like DA comes in at the end of the year and plays very well makes you question what is going on. - Believes Lovie and Jerry give the best chance to turn around the team quickly. - Playoffs are the standard for next year. - Hanley asked if Lovie and Jerry were out of contract, would he have extended them. Ted did not really want to answer. Said he didn't want to answer hypotheticals but that money was not the issue. Overall, good interview. Peace

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

Anyone have the content to the ESPN Insider article mentioning Olsen? Olsen Article

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/904458-...ill-canton-call I think it's a definite YES!!! The man is amazing. I know his WR skills are lacking, but no one has been better in the return game.

I have no Idea what else DA can do to prove that he should be on the field from the first snap of the game to the end. He and Knox clearly are the Bears best 2 WRs and both should be starting. After seeing Hanie get clobbered on more than one play I can truly say that the one truth about Martz's offense is the QBs get hit a lot and with that being said I am worried about not only Hanie's injury but also if Cutler gets hurt because it was obvious last night that Hanie and LaFevour don't have a firm grasp of this offense and looked shaky at times.

Great news. Dvoracek and Harris in the middle, when healthy, could be one of the best tackle tandems in the league. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=4296

I will be running Fantasy Football Leagues for the forum this year. I am not sure if I will go with Yahoo or CBS but I assure you it will be free to the poster entering. Until I decide which site to use, CBS or Yahoo, the only thing I can give you for details for sure is: I like to run 12 team leagues with HIGH SCORING, in other words, points for just about everything, LOL. I usually run it with team defense/st. I usually have multiple flex positions and LARGE rosters. I INSIST ON A LIVE DRAFT!! So if you join, I hope you will be in the draft room on time!! Nothing is worse than having a team auto drafted during a live draft and selecting players …

I just wanted anyone interested to tell me what they thought of the draft I did today... 1st overall pick - Adrian Peterson 20th pick - Derek Anderson 21st pick - Thomas Jones 40th pick - Steve Smith 41st pick - TJ whos your momma 60th pick - Fred Taylor 61st pick - Hines Ward 80th pick - Bears D/ST 81st pick - Alge Crumpler 100th pick - Jeff Garcia 101st pick - Ricky Williams 120th pick - Heath Miller 121st pick - Amani Toomer 140th pick - Cleveland D/ST So, My overall Depth chart will be: QB - Derek Anderson, Jeff Garcia RB - Adrian Peterson, Thomas Jones, Fred Taylor, Ricky Williams WR - Steve Smith, TJ Housmenzadah, Hines W…

#5 Utah vs #23 Cal I believe college Game day is in Utah, should be lots of media hype. Big stage, pressure packed game against the highest ranked Pac 12 team. Lets see if Goff can handle it. Utah is suppose to have a pretty good defense too. If he plays lights out the media buzz around him is only going to get bigger.

Any doubt? DEVIN!!!! See you next season Hester. Have a safe offseason, and learn how to block as a WR!

19 days to Camp: Football Outsiders projects Bears to win NFC By Brad Biggson July 12, 2009 7:22 AM | Permalink | Comments (37) | TrackBacks (0) The game of baseball lends itself to endless statistical analysis. You could just talk numbers from now until Tuesday's all-star game about the struggles of the Cubs without even mentioning the sideshows that have dominated the season to this point on the North Side. There is a statistical explanation or trend for everything. Football isn't broken down in quite the same way, or at least it has not been in the mainstream. But the good folks at Football Outsiders are doing all they can to introduce some new tools for e…

http://network.yardbarker.com/nfl/article_..._trade/10408522 Rumor: Bears and Patriots are in talks about a Matt Forte trade Written by Brett Solesky | 26 March 2012 According to a report that has been accurate of late in the news and rumor and gossip reporting business the Bears are talking with teams to trade Matt Forte. The report comes from a twitter account that I was clued into via one of my followers. The report is simple the Bears are in talks with the New England Patriots about a trade involving Forte for a second round pick and a fourth round pick. The report insists that the trade talks have picked up in the last 48 hours witht he only s…

Placeholder for Week 1 - SEA (Waldron's offense) beat TEN in Week 16 last season 20-17 in TEN. Geno Smith was 25-36, 69.4%, 227 yds, 2 TD, 0 INT, 2 Sacks, 104.7 QB Rating. 18 receptions by WRs. SEA sacked TEN 6 times. TEN replaced Derrick Henry with Tony Pollard. If the Bears can stop Pollard, who is more of a dual threat than Henry, I think the Bears win handily.

Link. Team obviously didn't want these guys getting away if next season was put in jeopardy.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,4948801.story Coaches credited Harris w/ 4 tackles and 2 pressures after film review. Love how those stats always rise so much. Lovie said he was pleased w/ the play of the entire DL, and said Harris was disruptive. Was that everyone else's take? It sure wasn't mine. I thought were were going up against one of the weakest OLs in the game, and did very little to pressure the QB. Wale sure didn't seem to be capable of beating St. Clair. I didn't see a ton of pressure on the other side from Brown, though he got in there occasionally. But from the middle, I really just do not recall seeing Harris getting mu…
