DABEARSDABOMB

Uh oh. Hopefully it is minor and not a ligament tear.

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/ex-nfl...sources-n412831 Very sad. I always remember how fun Kramer to Conway and Graham was. It didn't last long, but that was a rare aerial attack from the Bears. I hope he can over his depression. I also hadn't realized his 18 year old son had died from a drug overdose. Articles like this are why my kids will watch football, but never play (outside of flag).

It's preseason. Just don't get hurt. The nice thing is, I have full confidence in who we have in charge (head coach / OC / DC and GM).

I also think of all OC's, we finally have one who will leverage Jay's legs and athleticism, move the pocket, roll him out, and dare I say it, use the rushing attack and play action to our advantage. The big question that remains is can the oline be healthy and can it protect him and open up some holes for our backs.

He hasn't even been healthy. No one knows one way or the other, but reality is he's a guy coming off an injury, who is already hurt. That isn't a good thing.

Fabaluje's injury was asthma related. Ola's sounds serious.

From what I've read, Bears seem quite pleased with play of the rook, Ego, and Ratliff (plus Jenkins is here too) so I'm not sure whether we'd see them bring in McDaniel.

Hard for me to get down on Pace for White getting hurt. He didn't have an injury history. That said, despite Fox being very odd around any specifics of the injury, they still indicate he is day to day. That said, I would hope White is in camp by the end of the week. Will be critical for him to get as many reps as possible.

A lot of reports that foster has looked really good (as has Jones). I've seen more positives on those two then Shea, but it is training camp so who knows. Fox, Pace and Vangio have no bias on Shea so if they didn't see talent in him, he wouldn't be out their. We will see what happens.

Glad we have the staff that we do.

Good post and I agree with you that I'd probably be a lot like Jay if I played in the league. He's loyal to his friends but given what he's gone through you can see why he's going to be a very reserved person.

I think jay hates the attention he gets and just wants to live his life in private. He seems like he's a pretty normal parent and guy and other then his wife's stupid stance against vacinnes she by all accounts is a really good and involved mom (especially when you consider she's a celebrity).

Only thing I would switch to would be the throwback uni's we sometimes wear. otherwise I think our uni's are awesome.

Wasn't that his last playoff game that he completed? He played fantastic leading up to the NFC championship game.

I like this. Pulling from some winning organizations and Ravens drafts have been strong, hopefully this guy was part of the reason why!

I am glad the Pats are out on the offensive today. This whole situation has been totally botched by Goodell and his stooges.

Agree w/all parts except for not picking up Shea's option. That wasn't an indictment on Shea the football player, you just can't guarantee someone the amount of money that option was going to give him. If Shea plays well, Bears will work in-season to sign him and under almost all scenario's it will be for an amount cheaper then that option. I hope he gets paid more then that option cause it would mean that he went totally ham and won like a DPOY award, haha.

We'll see if Bostic shows some instincts. At least he has the athleticism but he's also hurt (bad back). Those two picks were pretty awful and had we hit on those, Emery is probably still around. I think our LB play was the worst in football the past few years.

He was bad, bad, bad.

Total bummer. Jags had been making a lot of good moves. Hopefully Fowler gets better quick and can recover and be the player the Jags thought he could be.

I'm okay with it (as long as we are talking too tired vs. hurt)...lets them know that the NFL is a big step up from college. Good learning lesson for them.

I wouldn't give Stein the credit, except for the fact that we operated this way even before the most recent CBA which for all intents and purposes put an end to rookie holdouts. It wasn't that long ago where you would consistently see top picks holding out and / or going down to the absolute wire. The new slotting system makes that go away but pre-slotting system Stein was as shrewd as it got and was always ahead of the 8 ball in terms of getting our guys signed and in camp.

Solid move. Hopefully Collins supplements him shortly

I'll be pulling for him too...if for no other reason that when the Bears make the superbowl with him as the safety and the game is played in san Diego...I will send you a PM and expect some family tickets...don't worry...your beer and food is on me!!!
