Agree Connorbear. This could rally doom the O. If someone else goes down we may need to convert a DL to the OL. Man, how many of us screamed about the OL in the offseason and on draft day?

You gotta be right BearSox. Any back surgery is delicate and takes time to heal. Especially for a kid that's going to take a pounding every snap. Williams is not going to contribute, this year for sure. Ever? Makes me want to puke.

Didn't watch the 2nd half, by the way stoogetv.com worked! But sounds like this kid can be the 3rd QB. Now that we have that out of the way, let's fix the damn LT spot.

Me too TerraTor!

No, thank you for your time and effort Miami Bear. I've saved the link and I'll check it out for the first preseason game!

Now that is sobering!

Gotta be Brown. He is a decisive factor for our D. He keeps coming back from those injuries and he is such a smart, hard hitting player. Harris too, but if I gotta go with one, its Brown. Telling how most of the guys here are selecting players on D.

That made me go "hmm." And I agree with you Nfo. If we have Forts and now KJ and AP, Wolfe is an unnecessary luxury, taking up roster space from, say, an OT or OG. Now why aren't those positions overstocked?

So you were there, CrackerDog? You definitely got a picture of one of those asses! And man, gotta give Rex a break. Its practice, who needs that?

I hear ya, but I think Hass is going to suffer from the numbers game. He will be gone. Sad that we didn't get a chance to see what he could do.

The Trib is reporting that Nick Hill is gone. Now we have 3.

If its the short range passing attack, Orton has the edge, IMdO. Rex can clearly get the deep ball, but his pocket problems mean we would need time for that to develop. And the Oline doesn't inspire much confidence at this point.

You got that right, Connorbear. And if we have NO depth on the Oline, those 5 will really be wasted picks.

Yep. The OL is going to be key. There will be injuries and what is starting off as a haphazard group will be devestated when the injuries occur. JA has got to bring in some help before the season gets underway.

No more distractions! Now they can get on with solidifying the personnel on the field.

It's nothing they don't already know. And until they get that monkey off their back, they will be suspect everytime they step on the field. Man, Tillman is right on target. Since I started following the Beloved in 1963, I have looked forward to seeing the D on thei field much more than the O. When the O came out I was usually afraid of what blunder they could cause. With the D, I was waiting from someone's head to roll and for a turnover.

Great report Bradjock. Now, just go back every day for reports, and lay off the outdated, reduced for quick sale merchandise!

It was his back, not knee: Back spasms KO top pick Williams By Vaughn McClure | Tribune staff reporter 10:38 PM CDT, July 24, 2008

Congrats! Hope we can give you a Super Bowl win so you REALLY rmember this season!!

The Trib reports that Bradley is cleared to practice. Hope he can finally stay healthy and we can get some solid contribution from the kid.

Let the fun begin! Training Camp has started! Finally. Now I will have something interesting to follw through our Super Bowl victory!

PFT is reporting: BEARS, URLACHER AGREE TO NEW DEAL Posted by Michael David Smith on July 21, 2008, 5:25 p.m. Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher appears ready to report to training camp happily after reaching an agreement on a one-year contract extension. Michael Smith of ESPN reports that Urlacher and the Bears have agreed to a contract extension that will give Urlacher a $6 million signing bonus and a $1 million bump in salary each of the next four years. One more year has been added to Urlacher’s deal, and the final year of Urlacher’s new contract will be the 2012 season. His base salary in 2012 will be $7.5 million. Throw in a $500,000 workout bonus in 2012, and that’s $18 million in new money for Urlacher, although at age 30 there’s no guarantee that Urlacher will still be playing through the 2012 season. Urlacher had four years and $25.5 million remaining on his existing contract, and he skipped voluntary off-season workouts in part because he was unhappy with his deal. He is expected to sign the new contract tomorrow when the Bears open training camp.

I can see what you're saying LT2_3, but the part about "they have to see" is not a given with Lovie. There were a bunch of us last year that said the same thing, and Bradley was given nothing. Hass never got activated. Wolfe got very little in the way of experience. We had those games at the end of the season where Lovie could have looked at the young guys in game situations, but he just does not do that. Maybe he is not a "developer", just a "user." I do hope they give these guys long looks before they dump them and they end up producing somewhere else.

Are you drinking Kool Aide while on duty there Wesson! Man, 4 loses? I'm not even that optomistic! But there is a God and I hope you're right.
