Like the news from around the league...
The Chiefs getting whipped into shape… and the Ryans spreading the 46.
"You win because of the quarterback. We have to get that position stabilized. We're fixated on that." -- Jerry Angelo (12.30.2008)
Jerry Angelo trades for Jay Cutler! (4.2.2009)

Awesome quote from Cory Redding on coach Marinelli..
“He didn’t want to hear about how you can’t get something done. He wanted to hear about how you’re going to get it done.
“He is a good teacher. He breaks it down to the minute details. Where is your foot supposed to be, your hands, your eyes, your body on every play. … He shows you how to get to the quarterback. Taking the proper leverage, getting up the field, working one move, having a counter off it.
“I got tired of him every day pulling me in the corner and working for 10, 15 minutes. Just working hands, hips. He did it every day. I’d get so mad, I’d start beating his arms until they turned blue. He didn’t care, he just kept going. He’s one of those old tough guys, and he instilled that in us.
“No matter how dark it looks in the tunnel, you don’t stop digging to try to see the light at the end. You just keep digging no matter what. That’s what I took from him.”
How to tell your league will fail:
Adam Archuleta was drafted
On purpose?
There is no infinity button for failing in sports. At some point, things turn. They always do. - Bill Simmons
He should be fine.
As long as they don’t use him in pass coverage. Or to stop the run. Other than that, he should be good.
"Well, we didn't block real good but we made up for it by not tackling."
- John McKay
Did you notice Lovie's quote in the Marinelli article?
He mentions all the veteran D-lineman by name and how they have improved already and taken to Marinelli’s coaching. The one person who is conspicuous by his absence was Tommie Harris. That says one of two things, either Harris hasn’t stepped up yet or his injuries have prevented him from participating to the point that he hasn’t worked with the new coach very much. Either case would be a huge red flag for the D-line with how much they have invested in him. As was mentioned in a post several days ago, Harris needs to be ready to play or I think the Bears need to re-visit their commitment to him next season.
They have mentioned multiple times over the last few weeks
that they are just being careful with Tommie right now.
Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. "Rec" comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.
True, I still find it odd that he isn't even mentioned though.
As much as Lovie likes to protect his players, I’m surprised he didn’t at least say that Marinelli would have an affect on Harris too, when he plays more during the training camp days. Also, most of the quotes from ex-players refer to him helping them prepare and study, so Tommie wouldn’t have to be 100% to benefit from that.
No worries.
And he has been mentioned:

Tommie Harris is untouchable.
The Bears management made a large financial commitment to a man with serious health issues and if they imply he has room for improvement it could cast doubt on the all-mighty Oz, I mean Angelo.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Serious health issues sounds too dire, but his knees are poor at best.
