Angelo the impressed?

In Jerry's very first question he discusses with Larry Mayer about the progress of the Bears rookie receivers during OTAs, and how their plethora of running backs have faired so far. There are many questions surrounding Garrett Wolfe and "our" AP, the most important being will they show enough to make the final cut at the end of training camp. JA seems to be pointing to the possibility of keeping four running backs on the roster for the upcoming season.

Kevin Jones is really back in true form in terms of his quickness and speed, and we’re seeing more cutting ability than we’ve seen in the past. That’s a real good sign for us; to get the tandem of Kevin and Matt Forte going as well as Garrett Wolfe with Adrian Peterson.

This looks to be good news, because we all know Forte can't handle the burden like last year. Actually, reading this excerpt gets me real excited to see the Bears regain a formidable tandem in the backfield.

In addition, Jerry touches on a very hot topic in regards to Plax and the possibility of him becoming a Bear. The rest of the questions deal with the defense's health entering training camp.

I expect a healthy Jones will do a good job this year

KJ has showed coaches during practice he has his elusiveness back.

I think halas hall is going to get their money’s worth and a lot more from K Jones this year.

You forgot to mention Plax.

COLD, WIND, AND SNOW BABY!!!

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

Good Post!

Jones is one of the biggest bargains, The Bears have had during Angelo’s tenure, IMO. It is no big secret in todays NFL, that you must have at least two productive RBs’ in order to have a successful ground game through out the season. Kevin Jones when healthy, has every bit the talent (maybe more) that Forte has.
