After watching the video, I can see why Martellus might have gotten upset, but there's still no reason to do what he did. Fuller did grab him up high and spun him to the ground.

Good. Don't know if any of you were listening to the radio this morning, but they were talking about how players and coaches don't really appreciate the way Martellus acts on the practice field. His effort is underwhelming, and he enjoys taking his sweet ass time walking back after a play is over when the coaches and players are urging him to hustle back. Interesting to see how year 2 works out for him. The honeymoon is over. People get tired of you after a while when you keep doing the same crap.

Agreed. Bennett needed to be suspended for being an idiot. Getting tired of all these fights. I'd start threatening players missing a game during the regular season if it keeps up, because there is no place for it. A skirmish is one thing, players get heated, but body slamming a teammate should never be tolerated. This was one of the reasons I didn't want Bennett when we signed him. Fortunately, he's turned out to be a pretty good football player, but if this kind of stuff keeps up, he wont be a Bear for long. Good to see Trestman and Emery not taking this lightly.

Will he be cut? My guess is no, but he was a 7th round pick, and now falling behind in his development with this latest injury. He's also probably going to miss a significant portion of the season if its an 8-10 week injury.

Excellent low risk, high reward signing. This guy was Kam Chancellor before Kam Chancellor, except bigger! He's built like a tank. If he's anywhere near healthy by the time training camp is here, he's the Bears best safety, and it wouldn't surprise me if he and Vareen were starting. It remains a huge question mark as to whether or not he can even stay healthy, but if he can, I really really like this signing.

That new DL coach looks like Jerry Sandusky. :/

He will probably have to beat out Greene for the final LB roster spot, or he'll have to be great on special teams to knock one of those guys off. He's real talented, so I'm sure Phil will give him a good look before deciding on whether or not to cut him.

Thought they did a good job overall. Only pick I didn't much care for was their 2nd rounder. I also would have preferred going safety in round 1, but Fuller can still be a really good player.

Like this pick. Jim Harbaugh was quoted as saying Fales is a top 5 QB in this draft class. Polian basically said the same thing a minute ago. Sounds like a perfect fit for Trestman and this offense. Starter potential down the line. I like it.

The short arms could be an issue at the NFL level for a safety. Not ideal for covering the bigger TE's in this league. Probably nothing more than a special teams player or emergency corner/s. Although It really wouldn't be all that difficult to move up the depth chart on this team.

Not gonna lie, I don't know much about him aside from the videos I've seen. From what I have seen, he looks incredibly slow and non-agile, on top of being an off-field risk. I don't get this pick at RB. I don't see anything eye popping about him. Should have went with DAT.

Cannot believe they passed on DeAnthony Thomas. Would have been a PERFECT fit. Somebody who can catch passes, return kicks, and run the ball. So freakin pissed.

If DeAnthony Thomas is available at our next pick, the Bears better take him. Worried that he's the next RB/WR to go off the board with Archer gone.

Bears have solidified their defensive line now.

Reeaaaaaaach. They couldn't have traded down to get this guy? Ugh.. He has 1 career sack.

Two of S/DL/LB in rounds 2 and 3 is preferred. I want DeAnthony Thomas at some point. He's expected to go in the 3rd or 4th round. I hope he falls to the Bears in the 4th.

I don't think the Bears can afford him within their cap space, otherwise I'd trade a 2nd for him in a heartbeat.

Emery has said he wants Willie Young and Lamar Houston on the field at the same time, which leads you to believe that makes Houston the DT along with Ratliff and Willie Young on the opposite end of Jared Allen. Houston can be a dominant DT. You want the best 5 guys out there as often as possible.

I would look at the two 6'3 corners in this draft as possibilities. I prefer a big defensive backfield.

Now only Ward remains as a viable safety option for the Bears in the 2nd round, but he'll be long gone before that pick. Now they might be stuck with Conte. FML.

They desperately now need a safety in the 2nd round. If Chris Conte starts next year, I'm going to be pissed.

Called it, haha. I don't love it or hate it, but I think I can learn to love it. I preferred Clinton-Dix or Pryor but Fuller is no slouch. My next question is where will he play? FS or Nickel Corner?

Both guys need to get bigger and stronger, but the difference between Ward and Fuller is that Fuller would have to make that adjustment to play another position, which to me, is risking a lot with your 1st pick, especially given the failure that was Shea McClellin.

Apparently one of the Bears beat writers just tweeted at the show and said Emery was referring to the original 90 man rosters before the season that are made up of 40% undrafted Free Agents, so that would change the number quite a bit as you just brought up. Didn't sound right when I heard it but now it makes sense as to what he was referring to.

I caught the tail end of it on the radio. Did anybody else hear this?
