In the Den
Bears CB Nathan Vasher is not bothered by all the talk about his possible release.
This article is a new low in journalism. It actually creates a rumor and dispels in in the same article. This one is about the Bears and Lawyer Milloy.
If the Bears had any hope of drafting Darrius Heyward-Bey in this draft it might be gone. With a near 4.3 in the 40 he might have just sprinted his way out of our range.
The Bears aren't likely to find their answer at defensive end at the #18 spot.
At least one thinks the Bears could target the reciever spot with their 2nd round pick. Could Brian Robiskie be the target?
Interview with Coach Smith at the NFL Combine.
The Bears sent 40 reps to the combine.
Recently signed QB Brett Basanez's contract numbers.
In the Vicinity of the Den
This link is less about the Urlacher for Boldin rumor that went around and more of a wake up call for David Haugh.
I don't care that the market for it is bad, you DON'T sell a Bears 85 Super Bowl ball.
Former Bears draft pick and wrestling legend may be involved in death of his roommate.
I know the ecomony and gas prices are not very good, but yes please...
Outside the Den
Marvin Harrison wants out of Indy.
In another great move by the Redskins West, Oakland releases another high priced free agent pickup. They are parting ways with Javon Walker.

Hey, where's the hotchick?
Seriously, was anybody else impressed with Brian Robiskie at the combine? All the analysts said great things about him. They said he has the best hands in the class. I thought he definitely helped himself for the draft.
Also, Pat White looked pretty good. Interesting to see how he’s recieved after his pro day.
DHB is fast. Very fast. He’ll be the second WR taken.
Hakeem Nicks is a lot faster than I thought. I hope he didn’t hurt himself when he pulled up during the drills.

I agree on Robiskie.

I agree also
We already have our speed reciever now we need height and good hand’s. Spend our 1st pick on the best available lineman.

Robiskie is not slouch in the speed department either.
and as they told us numerous times, he is a coaches boy. It might be nice to have a guy who actually knows how to play receiver.

lol
1) No hot chick today. Sorry
2) Robiskie REALLY helped himself. Thus far, him and Casey are the big-time winners.
3) Pat White looked very good at QB.
4) I disagree about DHB. You really think someone will take him before Maclin or Crabtree?
5) Nicks really impressed with his 40 time. Haven’t heard whether or not he’s injured.

DHB
I still think Crabtree is the 1st WR taken, but Maclin better improve that 40 time if he wants to be taken before DHB. I would personally rather have DHB but if Maclin if we draft Maclin, I wouldn’t complain.

I'm sure he will
His pro day is on March 5th, so I think he’ll improve on that time.

Like I said
I am only posting the hot chicks if somehow they are hooked to the Bears. Unless you have a better source than I, I don’t have many.

I wasn't

The Bears have 40 reps at the combine. LOL.
5 of them better be watching Chase Holbrook please!
With all the holes we have to fill…. I’d say we may be trading down on the first day to acquire more picks. Maybe that’s why we have 40 guys there… :)

It's time to label the Bears situation a "rebuilding campaign"
When you have the sheer volumes of holes and question marks that the Bears have, then it is time to end the charade and call it like it is. A rebuilding campaign. A visionary team would put the declining Brian Urlacher on the block and trade him for draft picks.
by BLou on Feb 23, 2009 11:36 AM CST reply actions 0 recs
Not really rebuilding
The only important piece the Bears have lost is Tait. Booker, Lloyd, and Brown all underperformed to warrant their releases. Most likely JA will address RT with their first pick and should be an upgrade over the aging Tait.

Easy, Pessimistic Patty
We’re a 1983 draft and some smart FA pickups away from being alright.

But I see his point
Why go through every season not knowing if they are going to be contenders or pretenders, injuries aside? I want the Bears to put a team out there that year in and year out make the playoffs(Colts, Pats, Steelers) not some team patched together. BLou’s right. There are far too many holes on this team and with JA saying basically he’s not going to be a player in free agency, how could they possibly fill all those holes in the draft?
by McRipper on Feb 23, 2009 12:04 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
He didn't say he wasn't going to be a player...
but a big spender. There’s a huge difference, and if JA is smart he’ll add a piece or two in free-agency. You stated it yourself- the Steelers, Colts, and Pats all are successful because of the draft not signing “big-ticket” free-agents. Just look no further than the Redskins a few years ago, and the Raiders the past couple of years.

I definately think
the Pats have done really well at signing FA’s. But I know that is only a small piece of what y’all are talking about.

Angelo
was quoted as saying “bargain shoppers if and when” with free agency. He said “if” like he didn’t even know if the Bears would shop in F.A. How is bargain shopping and the draft going to help a team that limped to a 9-7 record going to improve them with all the holes they have?

outside of pennington
can you remember any marquee free agents the dolphins signed last season? they went from a 1-15 team to winning a division that included the patriots and the jets.

Do you think they win the AFC East with Beck or Henne?
I think the Pennington signing is what allowed to put them over the top. We need to sign a FA that can solve a problem on this team either at safety, RT, or WR.

Do you think that they would have won the AFC East without Bill Parcels?

Do you think Pennington
is the reason they went from a 1-15 team to 11-5? Had nothing to do with a pretty good run defense? How about the Wildcat? That won them a couple games alone.

Only one?
spent a lot of money in free-agency last year and made the playoffs. I can think of plenty that didn’t make it. The Raiders, Jets, Browns, Saints, and the Cowboys. The Vikings were the only team I can think of (Williams and Berrian).

?
I’m not saying that spending money=playoffs. I’m saying that using the draft and bargain shopping in free agency to fill major holes (RT, WR, S) will not turn this team back into a contender. Even the positions that aren’t major holes(DE, CB, QB, either G) should really use an upgrade as well. How can a team that looked pretty pathetic at times last year expect to get better by bargain shopping?
by McRipper on Feb 23, 2009 1:48 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I'm thinking that Angelo is saying by bargain shoping.....
He means not throwing forty million dollars at a player who hasn’t proven himself yet. Maybe he is learning from his mistakes in the past.

Two words
The draft. There’s a big gap between high impact free-agents (ex. HW) and the rest. He’s not going to give big contracts to players who’s old team decided not to lock-up (for good reason).

Draft picks don't typically make big contribution in their first year
For every Matt Forte there are many more picks that contribute marginally to nothing their first year. Expecting 4 or 5 2009 draft picks to have instant impact is a ridiculously tall order.

have they ever not been rebuilding?
they’ve haven’t had both offense and defense clicking consistently since the middle of the super bowl run.

We've been rebuilding since the late 80's.

i agree with Devin47
but pennington was a bargain bin free agent. he carried a history of injury problems and mediocre QB play. it showed you don’t need to sign the biggest free agent and pay then top dollar to improve your team
