It's impossible to quantify but I believe this week will prove very beneficial to the Bears on offense and defense this season. http://chicago.suntimes.com/sports/kevin-w...-physical-ways/ --------------------------------------- FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — Bears receiver Kevin White lost. And everyone saw it. Patriots cornerback Malcolm Butler, a Pro Bowl player last season, cut off White’s route by being physical at the line of scrimmage and then jumping his break inside. Because it came during one-on-one drills, quarterback Jay Cutler threw the ball away, an early incompletion that garnered cheers from the Patriots’ faithful in the stands on the first day of joint practices Monday at Gillette Stadium. White’s response, though, said much more. He won the second round by muscling through Butler’s aggression, gaining separation with his size and a cut outside and coming back to the ball for a completion. --------------------------------------- Read the rest to see how White is learning his options for dealing with various types of coverage.

Yes, White is still a rookie. But I like his response! Report

I'm personally a fan of both (although I wish Bellamy would give White #11). Sadly it looks as though Royal may soon be on his way out. Report
