DABEARSDABOMB

The problem was it was the 2nd or 3rd fight he's been in this training camp and he was involved in 1 or 2 in OTA's.

I am glad. Send the message and also make sure people understand you have to be disciplined and hard working on the practice field. By the way, I like Martellus and I hope he responds well to this. It was necessary and I think Trestman has acted appropriately in response to the training camp fights.

I agree that a message was sent by Trestman. I think it is unfortunate, that in this era with limited practices, we had to lose out on 30 minutes of practice time. I also think undisciplined practice turns into undisciplined play and can lead to penalties.

I didn't know if it was slightly more for a wideout or what? Also, I think I had heard it depends on whether surgical or non surgical. Presume surgical has a more standard recovery time vs. the non-surgical where it is much more dependent on how bone heals, etc.

Has a timeline been reported?

We seem to have some problems in camp. Morning practice was cut short 25 minutes because Bennett decided to body slam Fuller. There have been a lot more fights reported in this years camp then I can pretty much ever remember and while I'm all for a little chippiness, this is just sloppy and undisciplined and needs to stop. It needed to stop 3 fights ago and most definitely need to stop now. Reports are that Fuller just tried to strip the ball and Bennett went crazy on him. These incidents are increasing in severity too, which is bad, because the culture is that it is okay because others have done it and it is a slippery slope. Next thing you know, we turn into the flipping Lions. Tresty certainly isn't condoning it but the leaders of this lockeroom and coaching staff need to end this stuff NOW!

He has been a total stand out and Bears had him easily penciled in as our #3. He will not be cut and this is a pretty big loss given the lack of depth behind him. Outside of Williams and Weems, no one has played that well behind our bookend wideouts. I'd have to think we'll see a roster move made and a veteran brought in, probably Earl "Fancy Shoes" Bennett. I also expect Bears to look at other camp casualties. We are talking about him missing maybe 1/3 to 1/4th of the season, if it is an 8-10 week injury. Key is for him to work hard and get back. Too bad Hixon had his injury. We had what looked to be a pretty deep WR corps, but now it is thinning out and Marshall is getting older and Jeffrey obviously had his injury issues in his 1st year. Hopefully those two guys stay healthy as they are obviously huge keys and becoming even more important given some of the other injuries to the corps.

Rodgers missed 8 weeks last year with his injury. Presume a wideout will miss more time given the fact that they will be hitting the ground more often, etc, although maybe not. I guess you have to be 100% either way.

Early reports are it is a fractured clavical. I would presume Bears are going to give Earl Bennett a call.

That is concerning. I was hoping Mills would be able to take a step forward this year. Hopefully he'll gain some speed as he continues to build his conditioning from the broken foot. I really hope we see Long back this week.

A lot of reports are indicating that he's looked extremely good. Again, hard to say in practice but still nice to hear. Seems to have a mean streak to him too.

Hyperlinked it.

You have to also add time to factor in the snap until the punt (not sure how much time that is). Also on the flip side, your gunners are going to have to battle with blocks, etc, so that will effect time to get down too.

I don't get this. In reality, Bears made him the best offer of any organization. it wasn't as much as he wanted, he spouted about how he could get more and then he couldn't. I know some say the Bears handled it harsher then they should and really didn't seem to want him, but they put more money out there (and significantly more) then any other team.

Does anyone have a ticket connection? I'm looking for 2 tickets to the Niners Bears game. I don't want to pay an arm and a leg and have hoped to get lucky on the individual game sale for San Fran but being the first game in the new stadium, obviously high demand. Am crossing my fingers someone somehow has a Niner connection (or a real good Bear connection) to get tickets at or near face.

The funny thing is, I don't live in either of those. When I bought my house, the previous owner had a dish (not sure which company but if one company worked, presumably the other worked) and most of my neighborhood uses satellite. I happen to use Uverse.

Does training camp start today or next Friday?

This is going to be a fun and exciting season! I'm fired up for football and its only July!!!

My zip is 92602.

Shockingly, my address was available. Everyone in my neighborhood has a satellite (well not everyone, but most). I'm stoked though cause with the little one at home, this will make it much easier on the mrs for me to watch games but still be able to help out a bit.

Funny...they announced that today. I thought the only way you could do online previously is if you were in an area where you couldn't get satellite or something like that.

I am hoping somehow as part of the negotiated extension, Sunday Ticket gets expanded to Uverse. If it does, I'm set. Would be great if they legacied it in somehow in their negotiations (even if it was something as simple as online access).

Back in the original days of DABEARSSHRINE, I remember Mannely having connections to Jeff, DAWEB, and putting up an interview / article about Patrick and his routines, etc. Best long snapper ever.

Playoffs or bust. From there, anything can happen. Not making playoffs will be extremely dissapointing.

I don't see what Palmer has done to prove himself. Claussen has a nice pedigree and really never had much of a chance in Carolina. I personally like the move and think there is potential for some nice upside (could be groomed into a pretty good back up).
