And Robbie Gould, please shut up. So you have to make some field goals this year in order to get paid? Cry me a damn river.
-
He's hurt again? I'm shocked.
-
Ellis has talent. A few years back, he had around 6 sacks, and in his rookie year he had close to 5, IIRC.
-
It's times like this where I miss a player like Clutts.
IIRC, Clutts didn't even play FB for Houston. He was mostly a ST player there.

Has anyone hear ever heard Mayer talk? It sounds like he shoved 40 marbles in his mouth and tried to speak.

You keep saying Weems is not a WR then what is he? Yes he plays st but he is a WR read the BOLD below
Bethune-Cookman University [edit]
Weems was a stand-out wide receiver/A-back at Bethune-Cookman University, located in his hometown of Daytona Beach, Florida. He played under fellow Bethune-Cookman alumnus and former head coach, Alvin Wyatt from 2003-2007. Weems left with his name in the records numerous receiving categories throughout his four-year career at Bethune-Cookman. In his senior year, he added special teams to his portfolio, serving as the kickoff and punt return specialist for the Wildcats.
Atlanta Falcons [edit]
2007 season [edit]
Weems saw action in the NFL for the first time in the season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. He did not post any stats.
2008 season [edit]
Weems' first career reception came with a 4-yard catch in the first quarter of the Falcons' week 12 match-up against the Carolina Panthers. Later in the same game, Weems provided a key block for a 7-yard Harry Douglas touchdown run. His first career fumble recovery came on a Minnesota Vikings muffed punt in week 16 of the 2008 season.
2009 season [edit]
Eric Weems in 2009.
Weems won a job with the Atlanta Falcons as a punt returner in 2009 when wide receiver Harry Douglas was placed on the injured reserved list with a season ending knee injury. Weems ended up returning both punts and kicks as the season progressed. Weems scored his first career touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys in week 7 of the 2009 season, he caught a 30 yard touchdown pass from QB Matt Ryan. Weems scored his second career touchdown against the New York Giants in week 11 of the 2009 season, he had a 4-yard touchdown reception.
On the night of November 16, 2009, Weems was arrested in DeKalb County, Georgia for suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. Shortly afterward, Weems released a statement saying “Unfortunately, I was involved in an incident on November 17, 2009. I am embarrassed about the situation and I sincerely apologize to the entire Atlanta Falcons organization and our great fans.” No specific action was taken by the Atlanta Falcons or the NFL.
Weems finished the 2009 season with 6 catches for 50 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also rushed 8 times for 53 yards, Weems returned 48 kicks for 1214 yards and 27 punts for 270 yards, Weems fumbled 3 times losing 2 of them, he also recorded 10 tackles.
2010 season [edit]

Weems returned his first career kickoff return for a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on week 13 of the season. The 102 yards was a franchise record for the Atlanta Falcons. He also returned his first career punt return for a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers on week 17 of the season. The 55 yards was a career high.

Weems had a notable contribution for the Atlanta Falcons in the 2010-2011 NFC divisional championship game against the Green Bay Packers. Early in the second quarter, Weems fielded a kickoff two yards deep in his team's own end zone and ran virtually untouched for 102 yard TD kickoff return. The 102 yard return was the longest play in NFL postseason history.

Chicago Bears [edit]
2012 season [edit]
On March 14, 2012, Weems signed a three-year contract with the Chicago Bears as an unrestricted free agent. Weems played in all 16 games with one start at the wide receiver position. Weems caught 2 balls only for 27 yards. He returned 13 kickoffs for 231 yards and 1 punt for no yards. Weems fumbled once and recovered 2 fumbles during the season. He also made 8 tackles. The Chicago Bears finished the season with a record of 10-6 and did not make the playoffs.
If I'm reading this correctly, you want us to believe Weems is a WR because he caught a few passes for the Falcons, and in his first year in Chicago, he had 2 catches and fumbled one of them?
Yes laugh all you want but you laughed at me when i said we needed bigger WRS last year too..... then we got Marshall and Jeffrey.YOU said that the Bears needed bigger WR's? Man, if only millions of other people didn't think the same thing!
Speaking of that, those big WR's really helped the offense last year, you know?

.3 seconds is an eternity in the NFL. That's 10-15 feet of movement from a defender.
I don't know if it's THAT much. An average MLB runner can run 15-20 feet in 1 second. I doubt a defender, who typically run backwards or side to side, can run 10-15 feet in 0.3 seconds. I do catch your drift though and I agree. 0.3 seconds is a lot.

Prediction: Carimi beats out Slauson for the starting guard spot. Slauson ain't that good. Carimi has talent.
Uh yeah, Slauson is good.
-
He sucks. Go away.
-
Someone, go check on Wesson, and QUICK. He thought he was Deion Sanders!
-
PFT has a daily team Mt. Rushmore voting going on. Today, it's the Bears.
-
Because of a foot injury. He is still an option.
Nothing says "still an option" quite like not even being able to participate in rookie mini camp.
I doubt he's an option. Hester, Anderson, Weems, Marshall, Jeffery, Bennett and Wilson all have a better chance to make the team over a UDFA WR who didn't even practice in his first chance to practice.
-
I know its just rookie camp and all and u can't read much into anything. Kyle Long has been at RG past couple days and then he's at RT today. Just thought this was interesting since most believe he will start at LG
He was at RT today because of a shortage of guys. He'll be a RG, and that's what I've thought all along.
BTW, apparently Michael Ford and CJ Wilson have done well so far, but again, it's just rookie camp so take it FWIW.
-
Harrison failed his physical.
-
Somewhere over Dwayne Bowe?
Corn on the Kolb?
-
You might want to read the stories about Kyle Long's visit to Halas Hall and who he spent the most time with. I think Kromer's opinion on Oline prospects was extremely important to both Emery and Trestman.
Oh, so the offensive lineman spent time with the offensive line coach? That's strange. I'm surprised they didn't let him spend time with Jon Hoke.

Always have the Blackhawks to watch
3 down, 13 to go.

Nope. I would be a moron to judge kroner based on a player he has inherited. I'll judge him based on what he does on OUR line as a whole. What he's done in the past doesn't matter. Its what he does with us
What do you mean, "player he has inherited?" He was a coach in NO and they developed the hell out of their OL, and he should get a lot of the credit. De La Puente, Bushrod, and Nicks all turned out to be good or great players. Even here, he's going to "inherit" players because he's going to have little or no say in what OL they draft or sign. Essentially, Trestman and Emery are going to draft players and it'll be his job to get the most out of them.
I agree in that I could no longer care about what he did in NO, but I'd be more optimistic with his track record than someone who was the OL coach where they had a poor offense and/or a poor OL.

As for Unga, I don't think he's ever been active. He's been on IR or a practice squad player.
Right now we have an 80 man roster. That means 27 of these guys won't be on the team. I'd be shocked if Unga wasn't one of them.
Unga was active for a game last year.
-
I pretty much agree except for two things:
1. Are we thinking Long will be the starting LG or RG? Slauson initially lined up at LG during mini-camp.
2. I wouldn't completely count out Carimi. If he's healthy, his talent is superior to Slauson. No team was willing to give Slauson more than the minimum. Why does everyone think he's that good?
In short, I think Carimi, Long, and Slauson will battle for the 2 guard spots, and it will be Webb vs. Scott at RT.
Carimi has been a Bear for 2 years. He was horrible at RT and wasn't good at G. Slauson was a damn good G last year, especially in terms of pass blocking, playing for a bad offense. Slauson > Louis
-
You must love Webb more than me lol.
One things for sure this year is there's not gonna be any favoritism on the line so whoever gets the RT position will have earned it. If it is indeed Webb I don't wanna hear anyone complain.
Oops. I definitely meant Bushrod at LT.
-
My guess is that the starting OL is Webb-Long-Garza-Slauson-Webb, and I don't think I'm the only one who feels this way. To me though, Scott should hold the tiebreaker. He was pretty damn good at RT last year, and I don't want Webb to get the job just because he's young.

Hub Arkush is an expert?

If this story is a non-story, someone wouldn't have posted the story and tried to convince everyone that it's a non-story. Follow? This is marijuana, not crack/meth/heroin. Give me a break. When you get an urge, don't do it. Plain and simple.
Training Camp Surprise

They signed Tony Fiammetta for a reason- Unga sucks and Fiammetta can actually play FB.
