The move would not surprise me. AP has consistently done his job, but we have 3 guys that the staff seems to like at RB, and, as you pointed out, we have a passle of players that are showing skills on STs. He's good in the lockerroom, but we know that coaches like to go with youth. Would be sad to see him go.

Agree, and if we can get the DL to produce this season it is going to be one bitchin' D!

Only getting him after being released, and only to be the no. 3. I like what Hanie is showing and, oh God please, let him watch and learn for a long, long time.

AGREED!!!

Good questions and analysis Nfo. IMdO, Hunter has an edge simply based on his backup role to Url. McClover is probably seen as insurance in case Williams cannot come back. I does raise questions about STs and Davis's chances to stick. Right now I'd say Davis should be concerned.

Yep. Take the injury settlement and move on with your life. Too bad, the guy really had a great motor. I wish him luck.

I hope he stays just healthy enough to remain in the lineup. He has shown over the past several seasons that he is quite adept at running a team into the ground. He also has shown that he can get the head coach fired and set the team back as far as QB development. Oh yeah, and I want to see Briggs pummel him in both the games we play the Queens.

Agree Pix. As far as Matt Jones, IMdO, we have a ton of possible WRs already on the team. If the coaches can't get production out of these guys, we need to boot the coaches, not go after Jones.

It also seemed to me an inocuous statement when I read it. And I agree, Hester should be more adapt at breking these things up given his previous status as DB. Just media trying to find something to hype, IMdO.

As I stated in the thread "Not Convinced", I had my doubts that the guy was really in good shape. Now it's gonna be frustrating to hear the "day-to-day" stuff on him. Who are they hiding this all from? And why give the guy a BIG contract knowing that he's not fully recovered?

Great information NFO.

I dunno flea, they look big enough to me!

The Score just reported that Joey LaRoque is gone. So Hilly is still in the mix.

Agree. If Cutler can get the job done and Url can lead the D as he used to do, then BFD!

I envy you guys. Seems like a great opportunity to see the players up close and also see them working to get ready for the season. When I retire and move back to the States one of the things I'm putting on my agenda is TC every year.

Dusty is one of the odd men out on the DL. He is most definitely on the chopping block with TC ready to start. If he's gonna stay, he needs to have one hell of a camp.

It's hard to believe that this was something that anyone knew about beforehand. From the articles I've been reading--see Brad Briggs, SunTimes--the Secondary is one of our big questionmarks. Though Peanut was lauded as our anchar back there. That tells me it was not previously known, not outside of Halas Hall, at least. But hey, we've got the coaches now on D so they will be abe to work out the pecking order. And Vasher needs to get back to form this season or else.

Brad Briggs writes in the Sun Times that Marinelli feels Harris is "Ready to Go." BUt Marinelli's statement was: He SEEMS PRETTY healthy?????? Doesn't fill me with alot of confidence. And if Harris is not back we better be looking at another anchor for the DL.

If Lovie has the D working we will be a beast. IF. I do believe, though, that the team is hungry to get back and finish off the big dance this season.

Almost. Just a bit longer. Be patient! You can tell it is getting closer by the increased number of posts here. About time! LOL

Back at ya! I really miss this holiday. Just another Saturday here in the middle of winter. About 48º and threatening rain here. But hey, we are just that much closer to the start of TC! Happy 233rd to ya all!

Agreed. We spent a good chunk for Cutler. I think we can do well with the WRs we've got now, and, if need be, get someone later who gets cut in TC. But let's not mortgage the future for one WR that may just end up being more trouble than he's worth.

Thanks DBDB. Now all is right with the world!

The deceased's family has agreed on the restitution, so that's the end of that. But Stalworth is going to have to carry the fact that he is partially to blaim for the death of someone. He will get on with his life, but I'd think there will always be that fact in the back of his brain for the rest of his life. Sad all the way around.

JA and the Bears have had quite the offseason. Now, Lovie needs to put the pieces together and win the Super Bowl!
