to the 53 man roster. http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,6296293.story Peace

I thought I'd start a thread for all the players that Chicago's brought in for pre-draft visits. Anybody know anything about these guys? Defense Matt Mayberry, LB, Indiana Damaso Munoz, LB, Rutgers Danny Batten, DE, South Dakota State Nate Collins, DT, Virginia Jeffrey Fitzgerald, DT, Kansas State George Johnson, DT, Rutgers Amari Spievey, CB, Iowa Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, CB/S, Indiana (Pa.)

http://www.suntimes.com/sports/football/be...SPT-bear20.stng Bears get injury protection from Mike Brown deal Injury history cuts safety's '08 base salary to $950K May 20, 2008 BY BRAD BIGGS bbiggs@suntimes.com It's debatable whether the Bears have protection on the roster in the event veteran safety Mike Brown is injured again. There is no question, however, that the team has some protection in terms of finances after reworking Brown's contract. Brown has missed 43 regular-season games over the last four seasons -- including 15 last year after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in the opener at San Diego -- and will hav…

I was watching NFL Total Access earlier and they said the Tribune reported it. Still looking around for a link anywhere. Thoughts?

As per Brad Biggs: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/break...0,5687009.story He's a 31 year old former #1 pick who did almost nothing for years, then puts up 12.5 sacks for Tennessee last season. On an unrelated note, we've also been linked to wanting Cullen Jenkins from the Packers. Pending cost, both these guys have glaring red flags with inconsistency and health. I can't argue we need to upgrade the d-line. That being said, we spend an enormous amount of time, money, and draft picks on the d-line, with disappointing results.

Here we go . . .

Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet 30m Source: #Bears are now targeting #Raiders star defensive end Lamarr Houston after missing out on Michael Bennett. They are pushing hard No surprise here. one thing we know for sure is the Bears want the best DE they can get, which is obviously the way to go.

With Barkley's 4th start and 5th game played, all 3 QB's for the Bears this year had a large enough sample size to give a good comparison between the group. Out of all the stats, the biggest things that jumped out to me were the sacks and INTs. Hoyer had 200 attempts without a INT and was only sacked 4 times while maintaining the highest Comp% of the group at 67%. Comparatively, Cutler was sacked 17 times and had 5 INTs in only 137 attempts. Barkley has been sacked 4 times and has thrown 7 INTs in 162 attempts. Cutler was sacked every 8 passing attempts. When looking at 3rd Downs, Hoyer was again the clear leader with a 89.9 QB Rating on 3rd Downs, Cutler has…

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown...-162004609.html Pretty accurate assessment to me.

http://www.chicitysports.com/2010/07/20/ch...fl-11-released/ Thoughts on the team? I think we got rated WAYYYY below what we should be rated.

http://www.pastapadre.com/2645/madden-09-p...tings#more-2645 Arguably OT, but interesting reading for those who care. The Bears overall are rated 80 (3rd in the division ahead of the Lions at 78). Depth Charts look like this: QB: Grossman (79), Orton (76) RB: Benson (80), Forte (80), Peterson (78) FB: McKie (84) WR: Booker (82), Hester (81), Bennett (79) TE: Clark (86), Olson (85), Davis (72) LT: Williams (79), St Clair (73) LG: Metcalf (78), Beekman (78) C: Kreutz (93) RG: Garza (85), Beekman (76) RT: Tait (86), Barton (70) LE: Ogun (89), Anderson (83), Idonije (76) RE: Brown (85), Anderson (84), Bazuin (76) DT: Harris (95), Dvoracek …

Brad Biggs ‏@BradBiggs 9m .@DanWiederer reports #Bears closing in on a contract for LB D.J. Williams to return. http://bit.ly/1h7u6by More than likely another vet min deal, or near it. Believe he played for a mill last year, probably gets less after another injury plagued season. Would provide nice competition to Bostic and SMD (Greene as well I suppose). I still expect 2 of those 3 to be the starters. ****EDIT*** Done deal, details later.

Frank Smith is the TE's coach. Anybody ever heard of him? I'm hoping we get some guys with experience under Gase. Jason George is the new strength and conditioning coach.

Bears reach a 3 year deal with RB Tarik Cohen. Averages to 5.75 per year. Shows they moved on from AR for the time being.

Bears Awarded Two Picks in 6th round

1. Montez Sweat has 12.5 sacks with 3 games remaining. The Bears single season franchise leader is Quinn at 18. Sweat can pass him with 2 sacks per game for the final 3. That would give him 18.5, even though not all of them were on the Bears, it is still a single season accomplishment. 2a. Fields needs 77 passing yards to pass Rex Grossman for 14th on the franchise Passing Yards leaderboard, 85 more to pass Vince Evans, and 160 to pass Mike Tomczak (12th), 167 to pass Rudy Bukich, and 208 yards to pass Johnny Lujack for 10th. All those seem achievable this weekend. 2b. Justin Fields has tied Bob Avellini for the 5th most losses in franchise history, with one mor…

I seen this and some is okay some I wont do. What do you think? I give the guy credit its an Adam like effort to do this. That's right Bears fans, Fatstradomous is ready to kick some information on you thats guaranteed to be heavy...Its time once again to look into my crystal Let's what we got... FFW to January 8, 2024 JF1 plays well enuff to knock the Bears out of the Quarterback draft slots in the 1st Round. Bears finish with a 7-10 record which gives them the 7th overall pick. Carolina finishes with enuff wins to give the Bears their #4 overall pick. Still, (2) picks in the Top 10 of the 2024 NFL but not high enough to select Caleb W…

Thought we might share them all in one thread. Here are a few to get this started. Please add yours. @ChicagoBears @BradBiggs @ZachZaidman @Rich_Campbell @mikecwright @adamjahns @BobLeGere @bears_insider @ESPNChiBears @CSNMoonMullin @DickersonESPN
