He is eligible to return in week 4 (I think) - Presume Santos will be kicking for us the 1st few weeks, unless they plan to sign someone else. Was interesting how they made all of these moves (cut Cairo but knowing Piniero was going to go on IR). Must have been a cap / flexibility reason for doing it the way they did.

Would be huge to replace Goldman. That front 7 would be sick.

Interesting to see who they cut for Edwards on the 53-man.

Lions favored at home by a FG. Talk about a great game to bet on. The one team that Trubisky has dominated has been the Lions. I am surprised the Lions are favored by anything, but I suspect this line will crawl closer to even by game time. I say Bears 27-13.

Here it is: Quarterbacks (2): Nick Foles, Mitchell Trubisky. Running backs (4): Tarik Cohen, David Montgomery, Ryan Nall, Cordarrelle Patterson. Receivers (6): Ted Ginn Jr., Anthony Miller, Darnell Mooney, Riley Ridley, Allen Robinson II, Javon Wims. Tight ends (5): Jimmy Graham, Demetrius Harris, J.P. Holtz, Cole Kmet, Eric Saubert. Offensive linemen (9): Alex Bars, Rashaad Coward, James Daniels, Arlington Hambright, Germain Ifedi, Charles Leno Jr., Bobby Massie, Jason Spriggs, Cody Whitehair. Defensive linemen (5): Roy Robertson-Harris, Akiem Hicks, John Jenkins, Bilal Nichols, Brent Urban. Inside lineb…

So after all of this talk in the offseason, we leave training camp without an answer. If you have two QB's, you have none. My gut tells me it will be Foles based on Nagy's comments. He keeps saying it will be a tough decision, but wouldn't naming Trubisky the starter in Year 4 be easy? So if it is a difficult decision, then it has to be Foles right? That seems logical to me because if they were that close throughout training camp, the no-brainer is to go with Trubisky. So I am saying it's Foles for Week 1. How about you?

Any interest at vet minimum?

So camp is over and for all intents and purposes the season starts on Sat. My question is who will be named the QB? “It’s not easy. It’s not clear cut. We feel really good about both of them,” Nagy said today from Halas Hall. He also said that the entire organization is pleased with both quarterbacks. I know that is coach speak but I have not read or heard anything that is inspiring. And I was all in on trading for Foles in the middle of last season. So I think they go with MT and give him 6 games to succeed or fail. If he does not reach .500 they have to pull him or Foles if that is who they choose. Next is the running back. "When ask…

Sign him now. He was productive last year. Jags have cleaned house.

Are we asleep? One of our icons, BRIAN, opens his mouth and spews garbage, and there is no comment here? Is this the Bears board or do I need to be looking for a new source to link with my Bear fans?

I saw a video of the injury occurring. His left leg slipped while he was cutting. He looked to be in significant pain. I hope it's not torn.

I'm just tired of this year. Hey honey, I've been promoted to be the home game stadium announcer this year! What's that, they aren't playing any home games with fans in the stadium. Oh

So have read many stories about all the incorrect test results for many teams yesterday. Nine, ten, 12. That has to but a team into WTF mode for awhile no matter how good you think you program is. And it also will show how well do they have a handle on things. Because there is a more than likely chance that will be a reality before the season is over. So I guess a good dry run to see how things were handled and what contingency plans are in place.

We have an opening in our PPR Keeper League unless Sully (CaliBears) comes out of hibernation in the next day or two. We are looking to draft between 30AUG and 06SEP. It is a 2-keeper league (don't have to keep any), the fee is $30 via Leaguesafe and the pot is $180 for 1st, $90 for 2nd, and $30 for 3rd.

It is interesting to me that I got a Bears email from their Pro Shop and Trubisky is on the image. Why would they put a potential back-up QB as their main marketing image? That leads me to believe he will be the Week 1 starter regardless, and the team is committed to giving him at least a few games to prove himself, and then if he falters, Foles comes in. This is not a competition.

As a 70 year old fart not that big of a thing. But for all the game playing, WWF loving, 20-30 somethings in pro sports it seems like a great thing to rev up the troops.

I have read many articles that said Daniels had problems reading his calls on the DL when playing center. Which was the main reason for him moving. Not a whole lot saying he could not physically play the position. Playing center would also allow him to have help from either guard and vice versos would allow hime to help from either side. But maybe I'm wrong. My question is why does the center have to make the calls. Why can't one of the guards do that like WH playing left guard with Daniels playing center. it can't be just seeing the alignment of the defense. Any of the guards or center would see that clearly. What am I missing

C. Patterson is solely working out with the RB group. Makes sense. I see him getting 100 reps with Cohen dropping to 50. The concept that we actually run the ball more.

I seen the league was renewed. Are we all in on playing? I have a hip replacement on August 24th so if a few days later I will be a available for draft..
