Everybody knew that the second time around Fred Miller project wouldn't go far, but in the end it didn't go anywhere. The Bears have placed Fred Miller on the IR.

Taking his spot is Brandon Rideau.

“I feel like I’ve been working hard enough to deserve this opportunity,” Rideau said Saturday as he prepared to travel to St. Louis for Sunday’s game against the Rams. “It’s a great opportunity and I just want to take advantage of it.”

With Marty Booker ruled out this Sunday's game it is possible that Rideau gets to see some playing time.

What an absolute waste Fred Miller was...

And they had to cut a rookie RT to make room for his pathetic a55. Garbage. Absolute garbage. Could’ve just stuck with the rookie and tried to develop him.

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

I agree with the Fred Miller waste part

But which rookie are we talking about? Barton?

I'M A MAN! I'M 22!

OMG ITS THE FUCKING END OF THE WORLD

give me a break, this teams problems are way worse than a rookie right tackle being cut for fred miller

His stats are as good as Fields -- that's the sad thing

I didn't know Booker was injured

Good move though, I liked what I saw out of Rideau in camp and I hope he gets on the field but I doubt we will since we haven’t seen Bennett yet.

Fire Ron Turner!!!
Fire Angelo!!

Pathetic is oh too kind

The bears are playing with no heart. They could get beat by the Rams today and would anyone be surprised? The coaching is horrible in every way, The players don’t believe in the coaching staff. What happened to some of these guys? Hester looks like a fool on returns and is long overdue to be replaced by Manning, who I predict will do well today if they actually give him the chance. Also, they should sit every ASS who’s not playing to their potential. I’m glad Rideau get’s a shot today (again, I’ll believe it when I see it) they should also play Bennet. Get the kids in and see what they can do. There is a complete void of leadership on the is team starting with management, the coaches, and down to the players. I have respect for Orton and the Browns Mike and Alex, but the rest need to prove themselves all over again.
