AZ54 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Couple impressions from the Sun Times arrival photos. Is it good or bad when the ice man arrives first? Jarron Gilbert is a little bit too light to play DT in this league. I know he's a rookie and he is what he is this year but he'll need to add some weight in the next offseason to reach his potential. I'm not saying he can't contribute this year just that to handle a lot of reps he needs more bulk. Payne looks a bit more stout than last year. Nobody will believe Brad Maynard when he tells them he plays in the NFL. Marcus Harrison put on the PUP due to weight issues, and we're talking about 14lbs? Not making sense to me seeing as the best way to work off the excess weight is to workout. He had his knee scoped during the offseason and said he had a lot of personal issues to deal with this offseason. My guess is that he's not just overweight he's out of shape and the Bears want him working out before getting into contact drills. Plus it's good to send a message like this. He's got some competition now and needs to understand he has to earn a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flea Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Patrick Mannelly looked more like a homeless guy with his duvet over his shoulder than a professional football player gave me quite a laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clnr Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Joey LaRocque is released. That makes the roster 78 at the moment. With McGee expected to sign on as camp leg (both Punter and Kicker) that still leaves one open spot. So, what position will the Bears address? WR (i.e Matt Jones) or FS?

Too bad 'La Rock' was cut but he was going to have a hard time making this team. Peace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clnr Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yeah! Liked him. 7th rounders that makes the team is always a good story! Just found out that rookie G Conley was released after failing his physical. So the roster stands att 77 now. http://www.chicagobears.com/news/NewsStory.asp?story_id=5958 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingtwig Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Too bad 'La Rock' was cut but he was going to have a hard time making this team. Peace I like Joey as well but of course kinda figured he wouldn't make the team. We have plenty of good LB's right now so they are going to have to excel at Special Teams to make it.

bradjock Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Too bad 'La Rock' was cut but he was going to have a hard time making this team. Peace He was a solid special teams guy . . . why would we keep him through all the OTA's and dump him as soon as he reports? Agreed he wouldn't make the team, but it seems like there are far worse players then "La Rock' who haven't been cut yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed he wouldn't make the team, but it seems like there are far worse players then "La Rock' who haven't been cut yet. I think they decided that he would not make the team with Pisa, Hilly, & J Williams all on board. This way he has a chance to sign on with another team. I like the fact they are giving him a chance to find a new home before it is too late to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Hochuli 3:16 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 To start, I think Iglesias, Knox, and Rideau all looked fantastic today. Cutler was a bit off but he probably had some nerves + it was his first practice as a Bear. Olsen looked outstanding. Danieal Manning had hamstring cramps and barely participated. Forte looks stronger + a new tattoo on his right arm. Briggs and Urlacher 11-on-11 drills with the first team offense Cutler Cutler and Hester Forte Hester Cutler Breaking the huddle after drills The WR's Cutler and Bennett Hester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunga Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 First play in the 11 on 11 scrimmage...guess what happened. Fumbled snap. G Alex Brown signing after practice: Tommie Harris in on the autographs too: Greg Olsen: Tommie Harris & Matt Forte Marinelli, Ogunleye, and Dvoracek (who amazingly didn't get hurt) 11 on 11 Forte is tackled by Briggs: Peanut gets a fresh ice pack strapped to his back: I think we need to sign a new tight end!

azbearsfan Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Thanks to everybody who is putting up pics, video, and giving eye witness reports. Its much appreciated, especially here in the AZ.

BearFan2000 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Just remember a homeless guy that makes millions just to kick a ball. Sign me up. lol. He certainly has been worth the money and probably one the the more forgotten guys on team. I can't recall a single bad snap on a punt (though in the past we have practiced that a lot in game situations), FG or extra point. He's one of if not the best long snapper in the league. I'm glad we have him here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
