In the Den
More on Lovie Smith taking over the defense.
CF: Excited about the Bears - Packers squaring off in Week 1? Mr.
Negativity's not.
CF: Kevin Shaffer Q&A on joining the Bears.
The Bears have shown interest in Texas defensive end Henry Melton.
The Bears are expected to bring in wide receiver Brian Robiskie for a private workout.
I used to defend Mel Kiper when people knocked on him, but he is so late to the party nowadays I just can't do it any longer.
In the Vicinity of the Den

NFL Commish wants a 17 game regular season.
Interested in seeing how our mock draft is doing compared to the SBN blogger draft?
The way playoff teams are slotted in the draft will be changed.
Quick run down on all 6 rule changes.

Robiskie
happy Bears are bringing him in. IMHO this guy has 1st round talent (he is a beast in Madden via NCAA). expected to be a 2nd rounder… if we can get him in the 2nd what to do in the 1st? Harvin at #18 and Robiskie at #49 would be crazy but not likely… Nonetheless if we think we can get robiskie in the 2nd that makes the 1st round pick likely to go to best avail which i think will be a LB or a saftey. not so familiar with OLine talent expected to be there in the 3rd round but i think that is where we add to depth at OLine considering it is merely depth when we still don’t have decent starters at WR, Safety and SLB.

1. The fact the Bears are looking at this Britt kid at WR, who is apparently a stretch at 18 but will be gone by the Bears Round 2 pick, is more evidence the Bears will be trading their 18 pick, probably for more draft picks.
2. I don’t get those that are trashing on the Shaffer signing. He is younger, flat out better and somehow cheaper than St. Clair. I don’t think people are remembering what a revolving door St. Clair is.
3. I am incredibly excited that the Bears are still in the running for Cutler. If the Broncos took an 18 and Orton for Cutler they’re idiots. But we need to do whatever it takes to get Cutler here. It would change our franchise.
I obviously don't know as much as most of you...
but I feel good about Lovie taking a more hands-on approach with the D. He’s good at it, and I’m hoping we will really benefit from it. Of course I don’t know as many details about him as you all do. What do you all think about it?
Also, I liked seeing the fire in Shaffer:
I have always been a hard worker. The goal, obviously, is to win a starting job but no matter what happens I’m going to give everything I’ve got and show them what I am made of.
I think Lovie is a great D Coord.
And him taking a more hands-on approach is a great idea, because Bob Babich ain’t gonna get it done.
As far as Shaffer goes, I just hope he can back up his confidence.
I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious. (Vince Lombardi)
Lol...
As a noob, you can have an extra mulligan for reply button fouls :)

Haha, thanks!
Although I know that I hit the reply button before I typed it…lol. I’ll just have to start “previewing” before I post!
Thanks anyway! :)

Well yes
but you’ve been here a while. She joined just recently. lol
But, just for fun, you get two thumbs up.
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Hahaha
I didn’t mean to start anything! Lol. Don’t worry ifuwanna, I’ve always been very impressed with your use of italics. :)
And ChiFan, I’m glad I impressed you, that might be the only time I do. Haha.

I think I can speak for ChiFan here...
But it doesn’t take much to impress us on this blog. A good mastery of the English language is usually all it takes :)

Well, that's good to know
because I’m in college to be a teacher, so good grammar is high on my list. Lol.
I’m not going to lie, I was really nervous about joining because I’m still new to football and I didn’t want to get attacked. But you guys have all been really nice. So thanks!

Ahh
You won’t get attacked, and GB hit it right on the head….it’s not hard to impress on here.
But in all seriousness….wanna teach proper English skills to WCG? He needs it badly :)
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
Maybe we can work out a deal...
I’ll teach him grammar if he teaches me more about the Bears plays and game, etc. Lol. I think it could be a good tradeoff! ;)

DEAL!
Haha, I also think it’s hilarious that he hasn’t said a word in this deal-making process, even though it’s about him. :) I’m sure he must be busy though!

Cutler might be scared off by this line
While he’s not as immobile as Orton and can take more hits, I wonder if he’s feeling confident about his line if he does get traded here.
Won't have a choice though.
If he’s really this upset at the Broncos management I don’t think it will be a problem.

Umm….Marinelli will only be answering to Lovie Smith. Why in the world would an assistant head coach listen to a LBs coach? This is a perfect example of why he’s a hack of a journalist.

Honestly
if he ever leaves the Trib, I’m dropping everything I’m doing and applying for that gig in person. Not big shoes to fill :)
I'M A MAN! I'M 22!
I don't think you'd have to go that far
You could probably land the job by sending them a note by way of passenger pigeon.

You could take Morrisey's job at the Sun - Times while you're at it
Not only is he another in a long line of sanctimonious Medill Journo graduates (from Northwestern), he has a penchant for talking about things he knows less about than even sports.
Unless he switched recently,
Morrissey’s still at the Trib. Then again, maybe I missed it. But your point is well taken….I find him to be a little more knowledgeable than Rosenbloom. Rosenbloom is constantly negative, which is his right to feel that way, but if you don’t switch it up every once in a while or offer some concrete (read: NOT ludicrous) alternatives, you won’t get very far.

Whoops, meant Telander
My bad – getting my sucky columnists mixed up.
