Asked later if he needed to take some velocity off his throws, Cutler said: "No. Whenever we need to stick it in there, it’s going to be coming fast and the receivers know it and the tight ends know it. This game moves fast and the faster I can get them the ball the more time they have to make a move. They understand that. Earl has caught my ball for a long time. It’s just something they’re going to have to adjust to." I’m loving it!
TWHS?

on a different tune...
looks like the wheels are starting to fall off in philly, which coincidentally, is the only team i was really worried about in the NFC…
it appears that philadelphia eagles DE Juqua Parker has been busted for weed… first the lengthy holdout by a prima dona rookie, then their starting MLB goes down for the season, and now this?!?!
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Don't write them off just yet...
but I agree, they are going to fall off the schedule as contenders; just fairly slowly. Their early season schedule is relatively light. Thus, when they face the Bears they may actually have something to play for. I feel the Bears game will signal their drop from contention. IMO, the Viqueens are still the “problem child” for the Bears. If the Bears go 2-0 vs the ’queens, the Bears win the division and get a 2 or 3 seed for the playoffs.

Off the subject windy.
What move has the bears made in the last fours years that you think has been the worst? Or made you really pi$$ed off?
i might've said the chris harris trade...
for obvious reasons, but seeing as how our 5th rd pick of that year is pre-season standout, zach bowman, i’ll reserve judgement. my other issue would’ve been the thomas jones trade, but for better or worse, that whole mess ended up netting us forte in the end, so… that’s off of the list. with that being said, i would have to say it was the acquistition of one mr. adam archuleta.

Yeah
the bowman for harris will be answered this year. How about letting berrain go? Letting ron rivera go? keeping bob? I think i hate they kept Bob the most. And I thought graham was ahead of mcbride in the depth chart. Or did i miss something?
was sticking to players...
and i’ll admit i was sad, at first, to see BB go, but his b!tch attitude made it easy to let go. as far as coaching is concerned, it’s definitely letting go of ron, although, i believe he would’ve been gone(HC position) by the end of 2008 anyway, so, with lovie taking over play-calling duties, i also have a “wait and see” stance on that one too.
Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.
Yeah I should've said coaches too.
I just hope they make the right changes before our whole defense starts getting old.
If you have an issue with the Thomas Jones trade...
Then your real issue should be the drafting of Benson. They could’ve traded down in that draft (as is typical of the Bears). But, instead, they stuck with the pick, in a lousy draft, and took a lousy RB, who they invested in with a $17 mil signing bonus.
Thomas Jones wanted a new contract, and he wasn’t going to get a new deal with the Bears. So, the Bears did him a favor, and dealt him.

Now he's the Jets problem
and wants another contract after receiving a boat-load of money already.

Hey ChiFan13, did you notice in today's David Haugh article
when talking about the Bears needing to sign Cutler to a long term deal because of the Manning signing, he used our line about getting him a new stylist? Guess we’re not the only ones who think he looks like the night manager at Wal-Mart.
Nice tag and link references.

hopefully someday they follow through on that last scene and make that potfest sequel. amsterdam is indeed a very cool city and not just for the redlight and pot/shrooms (but it helps)

Mort
will be reporting from Bears training camp shortly on Sportscenter. Of course they will replay the cut about 6 billion more times today so if you miss it you’ll have another chance.
I'm teaching fools some basic rules.- MR.T
Don't worry about watching it.
He basically said this season is about the Bears D(shocked by that statement). Then he talked about how Eli’s contract could work in Jay’s favor. Then he talked about Donte Stallworth(yeah that has nothing to do with the Bears). Thanks for stopping by Mort.

If anyone is at training camp
tonight or tomorrow… remember to say hi to GG and I! (gwl will be there today with his girlfriend and us too!) :D

Footnote from the Rideau link
Center Olin Kreutz, a six-time Pro Bowler, remained on the field after practice to work one-on-one with guard Johan Asiata, an undrafted rookie free agent from UNLV.
I read elsewhere in an interview with Chris Williams that Kreutz was giving him tips after he’d been beaten in one drill, too.
"The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt." - Bertrand Russell
Kreutz is in a spot in his career, where he doesn't necessarily have to worry about a rookie taking his job...
He just wants to win, before his window closes (which could be very soon). That’s not to say he hasn’t been this instrumental to helping youngsters figure it all out before. I’m just guessing… the guy wants to win!

i like haugh
but he wanted to extend orton last year, could you imagine if they did that?
cutler might be the first extension they give that the guy lives up to it.

Ack, now that you mention it, our players have recently had a habit of tanking after receiving massive contract extensions… :-(

Id rather see Rideau succeed over Bennett as #2

I'd rather see the better of the two
and I have no clue who that is…

why
i can’t imagine why one would have a preference, to win a bet?
Rideau's got good size, great hands, and is very aggressive
he’s also at 6’3 and thats always an advantage. Hester is 5’11 and I believe Bennett is 6 so I’d prefer having a bigger target for Cutler opposite Hester instead of two identical height guys. He really used his size to his advantage at Friday’s camp and was clearly Cutler’s go to guy that day not to mention he has been solid for the past week. I know they’ve both had a good camp and I’m glad they are both succeeding, just a personal preference with some good evidence to back it up.
