ASHKUM BEAR

I think it also says how confident they are in Ola at the swing OT and Mulligan as the blocking TE. I just hope Mills foot doesn't become an issue.

I'm not sure how fair it is to say he sucks since he played decent in 2012 as the Nickle, led the NFL in fumble recovers and had one INT. 2013 he tore his hamstring at family night and missed the season. The minimum, we know we have a solid NB, with Fuller, Jennings, and Tillman he makes a nice vet that can fill in at any spot. Since he had little recent game tape, we were able to waive him until Wilson was eligible for IR. I'd still like to find room for Britton but like the depth at CB.

I am kind of surprised at how unprepared the Bears have been in the ST department.

Bingo! Figured they wouldn't waive him with the release of Palmer and his showcase game. Now Jimmy T, start whispering in bis ear!

I thought Fales played fairly well given he has not had the practice time as a #1 or #2 QB gets. He also played with the Bears 2nd/3rd teamers in this exhibition and played against Clevelands 1st team. He has a long ways to go to develop the touch, but the Bears cutting Palmer and playing Fales shows they are not going to waive him. If that was the case, they would've kept Palmer to play in the Cleveland game and hid Fales from game tape.

Some of us see the forest, some see a tree. I have us slated to draft S, DT, CB, and LB. Going to be another D heavy draft.

Signing Palmer to get the all the secrets for week one.

That sucks about Nate, best of luck and hope he finds a home.

I luckily havent been able to watch a preseason game this year. I'm going to pretend that we are hiding the real team for regular season.

Marquese who? Wilson might take the back seat is Holmes produces. My guess is Holmes runs a few plays if any Friday, but he should get a decent look Thurs in Cleveland.

It all depends on Holmes, I personally think this is huge. Holmes in the slot with the two giants will be hard to cover. He has to be hungry and Chicago is a great stage to perform on.

Glad to see Paea playing better too. Hopefully he stays healthy and gets another contract with the Bears. DT is thin after this season and re-signing him would allow more flexibility early on in the draft. TE is another thin posisition, so Miller would also be a nice addition longer term if he is the real deal. It's early, but how nice would it be to not have any big holes in the roster and be able to draft to upgrade competition instead of a need? At WR, i thought Williams showed he can be a deep threat with his speed and if he isn't too hurt gives the Bears a scary core.

The camp I attended, you couldn't see a whole lot. I think right now, they are more concerned on seeing proper technique and being in the right place. This coming week, they will turn it up and I think thats were we will see guys emerge. I suppose I didn't see much because Cutler, Marshall, and Jeffrey drew most of the attention. I did keep my eye on Ego n Will, them two are inseparable. Shea looked tall and lean, I seen him cover well against a TE. Fuller looked more like a vet, Not shy or timid being around the first unit.

Great read! I agree with this too. It will be interesting to see how this team comes together.

If Briggs can't hang, bring in Greene. Reports out of camp are Greene looks the best out of the group. I do think Briggs plays lights out, this is a contract year and that guy likes money.

I'm excited to see this years D, I believe coaching is a difference maker. I think Herring will have these guys ready and will make a big difference with the youth. We have McClellin, Bostic, Greene and Jones under contract for 2-3 seasons. If they can follow coaching, LB won't be a need until 2015-2016. Future picks can be used to fill S, DT, and CB next year.

They were excited on 670 the Score saying Fuller has two INT's. My thought...it's "practice"....it's only "practice" (Allen Iverson) Great to see he is making plays though, that's what we need.

Burn him at the stakes in Salem!!! The guy also said good things about the Bears. He is going to say good things about Julius Peppers regardless of were he plays, them two were teammates and had each others back. That loyalty has always meant more to Brian.

I think the Bears will play Jennings more at the Nickel myself, Fuller will get as much experience in the position he was drafted to hold down. My training camp surprise is Ego Fergusan, I believe he will challenge Paea and possibly take over with the first team. 8 Days until camp opens....

I was putting it as safe from not getting cut. Even if Vereen starts which it is looking promising, we still need depth like Conte who is on a cheap rookie contract.

A.) Mundy must have been mediocre so far in OTA's and mini camp B.) Conte is still safe

We have promise in Bostic and McClellin, Greene is right there too but a little he can use this year to hone in on WLB.

I've been to the last two Blackhawk parades and the feeling is like nothing else and a must on a bucket list. After seeing the Whitesox parade on TV, I said I will not miss another one. To see the Bears parade through town under ticker tape is at the top of my sports bucket list, well right under attending the Super Bowl game.

It would be fun to watch, but rather have them concentrating on 100% football and not trying to become a tv star. Not getting this will allow them to keep their heads that much more into football.
