Quietest OTAs ever. The offense showed up. Ran plays, scored points. Everybody went home. Nobody complained.

I think the fact all of this stadium talk has controlled the airways we didnt notice that Logan Jones and Thieneman signed. Is Rousch signed yet? One thing got exposed, Loveland, Burden and Zavion Thomas are going to wreak the NFL.

No the stadium talk wasn’t the distraction. There just no angst-over our QB. Our new OC. The Oline. Who is WR3. Not too long ago we had Mooney as WR1. Who will start at safety. Even though he was with the second team Thieneman looked good.

Anxiety generates debate. There are a few more OTAs but from here the next big discussions will be when the pads come on

yes of course, hibernation time.

I read that Kiran is working at LT with the 2nd team. It would be great if his injury history is behind him. (Torn quad, torn calf, elbow and undisclosed leg injuries from his senior year till last season). That's a lot for such a young guy. I don't recall any player being injury free after having so many in a short period of time.

It sure would be nice to see him be a viable option. He had all the measurables for LT but needed additional strength. If he can overcome the injuries and take the coaching up, it would be a bonus since we probably will not have a shot at drafting a great prospect anytime soon.

Some pundits are saying the Bears still need another WR. Rome/Burden/Raymond/Walker/Thomas//Scott Miller||||| Loveland/Kmet/Roush/Large

WHY?

Dayo is on the field. all I got

I was good on receivers until someone named Large showed up on the list. Swift and Monangai can both catch passes.

That is going to be the 4th TE, and did leave off the RBs , my bad.

I know they are not in pads but a lot of people saying Braxton Jones gives off a positive vibe with attitude and body improvement in camp. JJ is moving well after the injury plagued season last year. Lots of people praising Sweat for his work and body improvement.

Again the official mini camp came and went with no crisis. This is Caleb’s first NFL season without having to learn a new offense and it showed on the field.

Last year they had no expectations started at 0, level 1...

This year they come in and start at level 5 or 6 because they understand concepts, effert expectations etc.

This will translate to them being a better team early on offensively and defensively.

Shemar Turner is still injured. Ben Johnson could not provide a timeline for his return...

He has 5 or 6 weeks to get himself ready. He needs to be in camp otherwise the Bears may be forced to add another player. You can figure only 10 maybe 11 d-linemen make the 53. If Turner returns healthy, could the Bears trade Dexter since Dayo and Turner can slide inside on 3rd downs?

Sweat, Dayo, Booker, Turner, Daniel Hardy.

Jarrett, Dexter, Gallimore, Lynch, Street, Van Den Berg.

I have heard that mentioned before about, Dexter isnt really a good fit for DAs defense. He has the size and 6 sacks last year. That's could get us a descent return.
