Mike Brown Looking Good

There is not question that Mike Brown is a fantastic football, maybe even HOF caliber.  When he is on the field the Bears a much better team.  The problem of course is he can't stay on the field.

Based on current practices and camps he is looking very good .

But based on the Bears’ early-June minicamp and subsequent OTAs, team insiders tell us Brown’s future looks very promising. By all accounts, the team’s all-time franchise leader with seven defensive TDs (four interception returns, three fumble returns) has never looked better. Brown had interceptions on each of the final two days of the minicamp and provided a constant playmaking presence, always working his way into the middle of the action. “He has looked exceptionally good,” one longtime team insider told PFW. “And the overall defense just looks so much better with him out there. More than a few players have been talking about the big difference they think he will make if he can stay healthy.” Meanwhile, change is in the air at strong safety, where Brandon McGowan appears to have taken the starting job away from Danieal Manning — for the time being, anyway. “They don’t seem sure of what to do about Manning,” the insider said. “Is he the nickel cornerback? Is he a safety? Mostly, he’s been on the field so far when the defense has gone with three safeties.”

No doubt this means nothing.  He could be playing great and still get hurt first game of the season, but here's hoping.

Hunter Hillenmeyer on 670 The Score AM radio picks Bennet as his favority Vandy

When Hunter was asked who he thought on the Bears had the best college career he picked Earl Bennet from Vanderbilt, not #1 pick Chris Williams. Bennett is the all time SEC leading receiver. I think Bennett as the Bears 3rd round pick was a good snatch along with first round caliber DT Harrison. Hillenmeyer also said that #2 pick Forte is hard to catch and he is a smooth athlete looking very comfortable in his expected premier rusher role.

Mike Brown

One of the saddest things in sports is when really talented players with a lot of heart can’t stay on the field due to injuries. I hope everything goes Mike’s way this year.
However, the key to the Bears defense this year will be if they can deep the rotation of 4 defensive tackles healthy all season. Harris and Dvorak in particular. When they’re busting down everything up front the rest of the defense will perform just fine – thank you.

Knock on wood!

It sure would be nice to see him play the majority of the season. The Bears defense can be #1 in the league with him in there. He certainly is a difference maker and a playmaker.

Mike Brown...

Mike Brown may very well be my favorite player on the Bears. He’s AWESOME—in my mind, the best safety in the league. The injuries he’s sustained have been terrible. I teared up watching him get hurt in the Chargers game last season. I hope Mike Brown makes a remarkable comeback and has a career year—no one on the team deserves it more than him.

Bear Down, Chicago Bears!
