ASHKUM BEAR

Hopefully Tayo progresses and becomes a contibutor. The team may cut Bushrod next season to cash in on the cap savings if he doesn't improve on his play lately. I gave him a little relief since Slausen went down last year. No excuses this round. The team may be best off to draft a OLT if there is one available at our pick.

Wednesday they have to release the injury list. We will know more then. Maybe Fox is being sly like a fox and our offense will be potent?

I think they will have around 60 million. Cam Chancellor anyone?

Mills was given a fair shot to start in the nfl. He couldn't succeed vs the 2nd team. I think he mentally checked out and it is better off to part. Plus moving Long is progress. Spending a 1st RD pick on a G is a luxury the Bears cannot afford.

Contract stipulations is why Houston won't go. Plus this is the D he succeeded in at Oak. Hate to see Willie go, but maybe we get a good draft pick?

Terry Williams NT Zac Dysert QB Ify Umondu WR These three I hope land back on our practice squad and not picked up somewhere else.

Fangio's expertise is LBers. NFL Network name the old Saints LB corp the "Dome Patrol" the greatest corp of all time and Fangio was the LB coach. Everywhere he has coached has churned out LB's. Hopefully he can stay in Chicago for a while and bring us another chapter in our LB history.

I think we will draft heavy offensive line and defensive backs next offseason if that helps. A lot will depend on the performance of Jay Cutler. It does not matter what QB you put behind center if he does not have protection, so they better get a line established with decent depth behind it.

Looks like the Bears may have seen enough of Leno/Mills as Kyle Long was at RT today in practice with Ducasse playing RG. I think Long will see some reps at the final preseason game to break in. http://www.chicagofootball.com/2015/08/31/...tackle/a9uo5tl/

I wonder how many teams were waiting for the Bears to cut Mundy (NY Giants). The Bears kept really quiet on his injury issue. Tim Jennings- I thought his salary would have justified him sticking for depth. He was one of the veterans last year that brought the team in for "players only" meeting. I wonder if he was considered a cancer?

I agree and think he is a lock on the roster. I just thought he would get a look with the first string. He will be a solid #2 and ST guy.

Not sure why, but Sam Acho is not dressing tonight vs Cincinnati. This is pretty much the final dress rehearsal for starters or bubble starters. Acho should still be a lock, but I don't see him starting week 1.

Hold on Nelly....I love draft day, but right now I am stoked for 2015 to play out. I actually think we can close the gap with the next draft if we hit on 3 picks. OLT, CB, and S. The rest can go to BPA to add depth.

Too bad and during an exhibition game. Next man up as they say. If the Bears can pull off a W, i dont want to hear excuses.

Great game points Bears4ever34. I think even Jay showed improvement.

That was a deep route. Other considerations is the time to get deep, where was the pass rush and where was the help over the top. Those plays happen with a good wr/qb especially with TYs speed. My draft considerations right now have CB and Safties high. Not saying with our first pick but top 3-4 rounds we need to address. I'd really like an OLT round 1.

Defense looking pretty good against one of the best offenses. I know it's preseason, but it is a good indication this 3-4 will be exciting. McPhee, Allen, and seeing McClellin in almost every play is great.

I would have preferred defense first at draft time. I will take Goldman/White over Danny Shelton DT and a Second RD WR though since BM had to go. Unfortunately White injured the tibia, which wasn't known. Just pure bad luck. In good news, it finally sounds like former first rounder Shea McClellin is shining. Silver lining found for me for the moment. I know he has drawn a lot of hate, but it is possible he found a place to excel his skills. Also, Adrian Amos moves into starting FS. Vereen couldn't hold down the spot. Wonder how long until we hear more on Mundy?

Been listening to the score. I agree the season is over for him also. Next man up. Chicago is were first round draft picks come to die.

Fire Pace! Just kidding, their was nothing on this at the time of the draft. Could be season ending, might have him second half?

So...NE drafted him, but they also traded him. Watch Groy turn into a probowl RG...just saying ?

Wow, I didn't get that memo when I entered camp. I sent a couple snapchats to a-rod ?

I did not notice from my view, I was on the southeast end on the bleachers. I seen alot of the defense lined up and the pass plays happen once the routes opened up. I think Denver moved Julius Thomas around a lot. Bennett will also eat up many looks Marshall got in go to situations. On defense, McClellin looked fluid in the middle. I wasn't impressed with his coverage though. He seemed slow at recognition and had to try close the gap. But on run plays, he shifted quickly to avoid blocks.

I will say the one player that impressed me the most on offense was Martellus Bennett. He is going to tear up the stats again. He can catch, has moves, impressive speed, and can also punish. Draft him in your ff if you have ppr.

Pace said he will start running on hard pavement next week. I would almost think by late next week he will have pads on. His biggest aspect of his game is speed. The Bears are only be cautious not to hamper that aspect. Sure it is slowing his development and we worry on that, but this is smart. Last season the GM/coach allowed Marshall to play when he should have sat a few weeks out. Marshall not 100% took plays out of the playbook. He was still a threat, but not a homerun one. By the seasons start we will have forgotten all of this.
