As before, I'm following: Brad Biggs, Jeff Dickerson, Greg Olsen, Matt Forte, Vaughn McClure, David Haugh, Fontel Mines, Dez Clark, Tommie Harris, WindyCG and ChicagoBears.com. All links *should* open in a new window!
Be advised: Anyone calling themselves Jay Cutler is a lying liar. (Helmet tip: Roger_Ledger!)

Don’t scare me like that! Pat is the MVP of the team, thank god he’s ok.
I'm teaching fools some basic rules.- MR.T
At least Biggs said what was wrong and that he was okay
Dickerson just said “Signed new snapper, Mannelly missed practice”.
If I wanted to be evil, I would’ve done that one. LOL :-P
Afalava is playing SS now?
I thought he was at FS? Payne at FS scares the hell out of me. But, Steltz anywhere on the field really scares the hell out of me, so I’ll take it.

Haven't you heard?
That the Bears safety positions are interchangeable? Yeah right!

Mike Brown barely got a job
Let’s not forget how often he got burned in coverage last year.

UHHH HUUUH
LOL should I considered that a reasonable response?hmmmm lets think about this ok a Free Safety roams around the field in coverage.thinking what the offense is going to do.He doubles WR’S TE’S he has to be smart and instinctive.Ok a Strong Safety helps the run game hard hitter doesn’t have to be a smart player just physical rough tough hence (Strong Safety ) ok since we understand what the positions means lets look at what we have.We have Craig Steltz Kevin Payne Bullocks and Al Alfalva.Now if we had Brown at FS and Payne at SS are secondary would be natural.Brown no need to explain we all know how good of a player he is and Payne would be at his natural place.A hard hitting safety and a smart safety but now we have every witch player moving around every witch way.
Commas are your friend.
D. Manning is the Bears FS, and it has been said that he’s playing well in his dual role. He excelled as the nickel last season, and Lovie was quoted as saying that the nickel is a more difficult position to pick up than FS. He’s certainly the most physically gifted defensive back the Bears got, so naturally you want to have him on the field as much as possible.

Not just commas, either.....
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." - Bertrand Russell
When you're running a zone defense
you still have to play coverage. It’s not a run-support-only position. Of course, it’s hard to do either when you’re on IR.

MBrown was a fine player
but even he could not make plays from the sideline where he was way too much of his career. Letting him go was the smart move, they need a guy who can play a whole season.

He played what 14-15 games last year? it’s not just his skills and the knowledge it is all the intangibles he brings to the table
think with your head not your heart

Fontel Mines
I’m disappointed that he didn’t tweet “AAAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!” after yesterday’s practice. :)

ESPNChiBears Looks like another beautiful night for football. Will tweet early and often.
BradBiggs You really can’t go wrong with the wisdom of Greg Blache and his view on rookies http://bit.ly/YQZZp
ESPNChiBears Greg olsen on espn 1000 at 5:25.

It is!
I just feel Fontel’s pain…I tore my left ACL about a year and a half ago…it sucks, big time

Ugh, poor Fontel
ESPNChiBears Fontel mines torn left ACL. No word from bears on any roster move.

Well, if there's any bright side for Fontel
This might help him keep a paycheck, and stay on the Bears Injured Reserve.

Yep, Timmy's been preaching to random MidWestern football teams.
Did you not see the news helicopters? :)

Apparently that plan involves not walking.

YOU'VE BEEN ON A ROLL!!!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

Somehow I feel this problem will work itself out shortly.
With the 2’s, jarron gilbert lines up at left end with harrison and dd inside. Bears need gilbert inside this season though
