Cedric Benson is destroying us.
Why isn't he just running slowly into the back of his offensive line and going down with no cut backs?
-
LoL @ our first penalty off the bat
-
That was nice of us to leave Henry wide open to the only place where Palmer could throw it in the end zone.
-
Benson's big run = nice hold by the RT.
Chickenshit noncall by the LJ on that side.
Beat me to it.

Looked like a pretty blatant hold on that big Benson run. Ogunleye being held that is.
-
NO! Not Dick Stockton!

Clark is killing us
Yup. Than of course, a fluke INT by a lineman.

Outside of Hester's catch, our passing game is so off. Olsen needs to hold onto that.
Let Forte work.
-
Wow. Cutler has looked awful so far...
Mis-communication between QB and receivers should be cleared up in pre-season. Pack had 3 shots at an INT and finally got one.

This happens in all camps. Alpha males butting heads.

BradBiggs: Maurice Miller era ended quickly. He was waived after failing his physical so the Bears still have 2 open spots on their 80-man roster.

Matt Forte's twitter:
chitownforte22: Made it to camp! Ready for tomorrow

Bobby Wade??? Who put a mike in front of that pos? If I was looking for thoughts on fumbling punts, then I would talk to him. Otherwise, forget it.
Peace
Hope he has the guts to go over the middle when we play Minnesota...I mean if he gets on the field.

Unusually excited for training camp and pre season. More so than ever, I think.

North Carolina receiver Hakeem Nicks has decided to forgo his senior season and enter the NFL draft.Nicks' decision, announced by the university Monday, comes as little surprise; he wowed NFL scouts with a record-setting season that was highlighted by his behind-the-back, highlight-reel catch in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.

AP Photo/Gerry BroomeJunior Hakeem Nicks set a Tar Heels bowl record with 217 receiving yards in the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
In his final performance, Nicks caught eight passes for a UNC bowl-record 217 yards and three touchdowns in the 31-30 loss to West Virginia.
"He was a gamer," coach Butch Davis said on a teleconference with reporters. "The bigger the stakes, the better he played. We were very fortunate to have had him for the three years and certainly wish him the very best of luck. It's something we hope happens for a lot of our kids in the future."
According to Nicks, he is projected to be an early second-round pick by the NFL draft advisory board, and Davis said the general consensus from everyone he spoke to was that Nicks would be chosen on the first day. Nicks said he is on track to graduate, but will take the semester off to train for the NFL's scouting combine in February.
"I clearly think that most everybody feels pretty confident he's probably going to have a great chance to be a first-day draft selection," said Davis, who spent 10 years in the NFL with Dallas and Cleveland, and reached out to GMs and assistants on Nicks' behalf.
Nicks, who moved into the spotlight in place of injured record-setter Brandon Tate, set UNC single-season records in 2008 for receiving yards (1,222) and touchdowns (12). He finished his career having set 14 school records.
Nicks said he spoke with Davis about his decision after the bowl game, and that he valued Davis' NFL experience and contacts.

Nicks said he didn't decide until after the bowl game.
"I was still in the process of praying about it and thinking about it and still had to talk with coach Davis," Nicks said. "I was just focused on playing in the bowl game and being with my teammates."
Nicks set school records for career receptions (181), career receiving yards (2,580) and career touchdowns (21). He is the only player in UNC history with more than 1,000 yards receiving in a season. Nicks surpassed the 100-yard receiving mark five times in 2008 and 10 times in his career, both UNC records. He led the ACC and ranks 12th in the country with 94.0 yards per game.
The only three-year player in ACC history with more career receiving yards than Nicks is former Georgia Tech All-American and 2007 NFL first-round pick Calvin Johnson.

Catch the ball, Peterson.
-
freak you, Turner! The fullback blast NEVER works! YOu waste a down! You have Greg Olsen and you continue to run up the middle.
And what the freak is Tillman doing?
-
Yeah, replay made it look like Ferrotte flopped. No clue how they miss that call though.
-
LAUGH OUT LOUD!! WE JUST KNOCKED FERROTTE THE FUC.K OUT!
I'm not laughing. He looks badly injured.
I'd rather keep Ferrotte on the game than face Tavaris Jackson who can elude pressure.
-
Lol, how in the hell did he break out of that? Jesus Christ..
Because Kevin Payne was nice enough to take out Graham and Briggs who were making the stop.
-
That is an awful PI call.
-
Looked like Ogunleye was bieng held pretty bad on that 3rd down play.
-
We just extended Desmond.
