Around SBN: Kobe Bryant Isn't Up To Speed On Jeremy Lin, 'Linning'

Bears News and Notes - 10/31/2008

*** First, have a good one, especially if you have kids.

*** Devin Hester is anxious to get the return game going.

''I've put all the pressure on myself and say that it is my fault that the return game is not the way it was,'' Hester said. ''At the end of the day, I'm the one with the ball in my hands, and I've got to be the one to figure it out and pick up the slack. If something breaks down, that's why they rely on me to spark the return game.

''I've got to be the one to step up and make big plays. It hasn't been the way it's been, so I take some of the blame for it.''

*** Kyle Orton doesn't  play favorites, just likes an open  man.

Orton is on pace to pass for 3,814 yards, which would be only 24 shy of Erik Kramer's 1995 franchise record. Olsen projects as the leading receiver with 677 yards. Typically when a team's top receiver has that low of production, it means the quarterback has been climbing out of the clown car on Sundays. You've seen the drill.

Orton said he can't even identify a favorite target. He's a fan of the open receiver.

*** It might be surprising to hear, but Brian Urlacher misses Roy Williams.

"He got us fired up every week, I'll tell you that much," Urlacher told the Detroit media via conference call. "He was fun because he always was running his mouth. But I'm sure he's not too mad to be where he's at right now."

Urlacher misses Roy Williams....

And I miss Urlacher. Where exactly have you been lately, #54?

I'm not going to even bother trying to update this sig everyday anymore... that's what the standings column on ESPN is for.

Finally!

Tillman and Vasher are both probable, I hope they’re on the field Sunday.

I think the irony is

In the game we least need them both back (orlovsky, anyone?), they’ll both be back.

Hopefully this will allow them to get back into a game rhythm for TEN, GB, and beyond…

call me a pessimist but...

i think the days of Devin the Ridiculous are over. I don’t know how, i don’t know why. I just don’t see that little explosion that he has that no one else does.
