ASHKUM BEAR

Urlachers starting asking price is 2 years 5 million a year per multilble sources.

I will say if we don't have cap space to bring in...lets say jake long, then I think Webb is our guy. We will not draft a starter quality LT. Plus Webb will be much improved. It is his big pay day season, he knows if he produces then he will never have to worry about getting his next happy meal. I would be fine with it as long as we can draft Cooper rd1 and lets Jones rd 2. But knowing how Webb is, I wouldn't resign him and would hope we can land a LT next year.

I would consider Long, if his injury with his arms is good. Albert has a bad back, which once your back is shot it lingers. Bring him in for an interview and restructure some contracts, nothing to lose from that!

I won't say good, because im an oline guy. I wanted decastro and was pissed when we took shea and I didnt know much about him. But my intial response to you was that you said we didn't sign any oline. I took it as you forgot about the 3 guys brought in, which they were not memorial in any big way.

That is true, but then we would need another dominant DE. Too bad we don't know what Shea can do year two.

Cutting pep won't gain us much in cap, maybe 6 million and we'd still lose 8 million in dead cap. I think restructuring him is tough too, but that would be our best option. That's the price you pay for having to reach in the fa well.

Brown went undrafted because he likes the same stuff Webb likes. When he got the opportunity to play, he did well. His first two games he rated -9.8, but the next two games he rated at +2.4. I think he makes the 53 man next year. Brown was a good signing by a lot nfl experts opinions also. Rachal was terrible, but I think they were hoping he'd be lightning in a bottle. Scott was a solid. If I remember right, there wasnt much to sign in fa.

It was Alan Faneca, because I recall how some on this board wanted a probowl LG to play next to rookie Chris Williams at the time.

He did sign James Brown, who I thought did decent when called upon. I think Brown will stick and could be part of the lineup down the road. Also he signed Scott and Rachal....

The post wasn't about the other OT's, it was about how Mongo thinks Webb cost Lovie his job. We all seen how bad omg was, he used his total sacks given of 22 is not as bad as Webbs 34. I enjoyed seeing stats that said he had the 2nd most penalties or most hurries, bc all I've seen was pfft and +/- numbers as run/pass blocker. He blog just has stats broken down a little further.

So was I, thus the "lol"!

Lol, I knew I could convert you with Mongo's insight. I'd like to know where he got his info from, pretty damning stats he put up. I know Webb might be all we have to work with.....but we took care of the ones responsible for giving us little to work with so hopefully the Bears address and take care of the rest from here on out.

Lovie's Termination Please read Mongos blog on cbssportlines page. It puts in perspective of what i've seen the whole time and why I haven't changed my mind after a pft stat. You might have to scroll back to the top on that link.

If I recall, that is Lovies philosophy. Lovie used preseason to evaluate individuals playing straight forward. No stunts or schemes, but to evaluate the player as if he was on an island. That would mean the lineman blocked the defender without help.

I think he'll be taken somewhere in the 3rd. If it was between Travis Frederick C/G Wis and Barrett Jones C/G AL, I would go Frederick all day.

True, I keep wishing we could land an OLT in the draft and don't see it unless for some reason Lane Johnson falls.Next year, there will be a few and that's how I thought of this.

Would you trade our 2013 first round pick for a 2014 first round and a 2013 third round pick? Lets say Kansas City drafts the OLT Joeckel with the first pick, and then wants to be sure they get QB Matt Barkley also. They give up the 2014 first round selection along with the 63 pick in RD3. It would hurt us this season, but next year we will be loaded to get a premier player or two, and we also get the top pick in RD3. 2014 prospects?? DE- Jadeveon Clowney SC OLT - Taylor Lewan Mich OLT - Jake Matthews Texas AM OLT - Cyrus Kouandjo AL OLT - David Yankey Stan It's definately a thought to consider, especially if we think the make or break player that would get us to the superbowl is a Jonathon Cooper G. Here's how the draft could play out RD2-50 Dallas Thomas G Ten RD3-63 Travis Frederick G/C Wis RD4-113 Kevin Reddick LB NC RD5-145 Josh Boyce WR TCU RD6-180 Chris Gragg TE Ark

I would pass on Jones, the experts are exposing him and he's dropping. I'd go Reddick MLB or Frederick at C/G if he is still on the board, or even a TE if ones has slipped.

I tried the cut/trade Bush thought but his cap hit would be to great. We are stuck with Bush next year for sure. I do think we need a speed RB, maybe we should look at projected UDFA's.

I've been reading this about him for a week or two. Since he has the bad foot, I'll pass and look for the kid out of Cal later for a center. Warmack and Flucker are real deals, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with Flucker even though he projected more as a RT. I would personally rather take Cooper if he is there as we are short handed on G.

Thats fine, I never thought they would. I was using draftteks order and stated i knew it was unrealistic. Faulk is a gamble, if he stayed healthy he would've been in the top 10.

I put together a mock that I used the most recent drafttek's order. I know it's very unrealistic, but I picked from available players. So please don't try and argue that he won't be there in this round or that. I am using drafttek..... http://www.drafttek.com/2013-NFL-Mock-Draft-Round1.asp RD1 - Chance Warmack OG AL 6-3 320 RD2 - Chris Faulk OLT LSU 6-6 325 - If he never injured his knee, he'd be RD1 talent, should be ready to go in combine. RD4 - Brian Schwenke C Cal 6-3 305 RD5 - Kevin Reddick ILB NC 6-2 240 RD6 - Travis Kelce TE Cin 6-5 260

We should keep Spaeth as long as Davis gets cut. Spaeth will be on his last year and he is valuable. He was rarely counted on to be a recieving threat. If the Bears asked him do more as a WR, he can produce like he did when Davis was basically benched at the end of the season.

The oline cannot be ignored and needs the most amount of attention. I would prefer going that route through the draft. If by chance Lane Johnson is there it's a no brainer and if not, we should hope to move down.

If we sign Bushrod, we need to draft a LG in round 1 or 2 to groom next to him. Bushrod had a luxary of playing next to carl nicks and now ben grubbs, which definitely helps you look better.
