Latest developments on the Bears from the Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times, credit going where credit is due. Sophomore DT Stephen Paea is turning heads, likely earning the starting nose tackle job in 2012. In 2011 at the night game versus the Vikings, I watched Paea enter the game for the first time as Minnesota [...]
Here we are, August already, and as always I can’t help thinking it’s going to be December before we know it. I’ve been away for a few days, so here’s catching up on a few themes from early in camp. I thought it was funny when I read that Viking owner Zigi Wilf stated that [...]
It’s upon us! How does everyone feel? It’s always hard to believe each July after seven months of football starvation when a new Chicago Bears season dawns. I love that football is here-but I hate knowing another Chicago winter is right around the corner. Here are some camp-eve stories. Wow-Young MC wants Jay Cutler to [...]
Dan LeFevour-QB-Central Michigan-Round 6 2010: It’s hard to call any sixth-round draft pick a mistake, since the vast majority of these players aren’t expected to go onto great NFL success. And Dan LeFevour was a record-setting college quarterback. But there are several reasons for this. Late in the 2010 season it was revealed that during [...]
Catching up on the Chicago Bears’ activities in rounds two through four of the 2012 NFL Draft: The second and third rounds of the draft were gambling picks for the Bears, according to the Chicago Tribune. In the second they took 6’3″, boom or bust receiver Alshon Jeffery from South Carolina. In the third, they [...]
Surprising pick, to me, with more heralded names still on the board. With the 19th pick in the first round of the NFL draft, the Chicago Bears selected Boise State DE Shea McClellin. My first reaction is I hope McClellin is a lot closer to JJ Watt (Houston Texans first round DE in 2011) than [...]
Chicago Bears receivers Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett will be signing autographs in Rockford, IL this Saturday (4/21/12) for charity. Please check out the details on the Facebook event page if interested. Share
No use in me manually typing the 2012 Chicago Bears schedule here, since it can be obtained from a thousand other places online, like on the Bears website. My initial thoughts: – Glad to see another opening day at Soldier Field, which I thoroughly missed from 2005-2009. This year the Bears host the Indianapolis Colts [...]
Today the Chicago Bears added an additional year onto often-disgruntled linebacker Lance Briggs’ contract, which results in a new three-year, $17.5 million contract. Profootballtalk breaks it down here. As they note, the market for linebackers is down as it is for running backs, so Briggs should be happy with what he has gotten. Anyone wonder [...]
One of my personal concerns since the Bears haven’t made any major signings on defense has been the state of the cornerback position. Top corner Charles Tillman made his first Pro Bowl in 2011, and the hope is that despite the beating his body has taken over his nine-year career, he will continue to perform [...]
