J. Gilbert flashin his athleticism….struggles with hand placement, but looks ok otherwise.

Tinoisamoa is a big fella….ridiculously stacked. Might have been one of our better offseason acquisitions.

sorry no signal at soldier field during todays practice. heres a wrapup

bowman returned from hamstring but only for individual drills

manning was held out while hester and pace returned.

omiyale started with the 1s at left guard for the first time all camp

afalava saw time with 1s at SS wth payne at FS

cutler began 7 on 7 drills 6 for 6. His best ball was a deep one to Rideau

Devin Aromashodu got some run with the first team offense and looked good

hes a third year receiver from auburn

I’ll expand in a lengthier post later this week, but here are my initial thoughts:

1) Best compliment I can give to the OL is that I didn’t really notice them. They got beat on a few plays, but otherwise played well.

2) To my shock, the WR’s did a fantastic job. #84 had two great catches, Hester did well. About the only one I didn’t notice was Iglesias.

3) Johnny ‘Know’ Knox is really quick. I know some of us bashed him because all he had was speed, but he’s good. He could make an impact this year.

4) Kevin Payne, Nathan Vasher, and Craig Steltz looked good. Smooth, fluid, and good hands. Vasher interfered with the WR on a terrific throw by Cutler.

5) Cutler didn’t really show off the cannon. He made some nice throws tho.

6) Jarron Gilbert needs to work on his hand placement….otherwise looked decent.

7) K. Jones looked much much better running the ball.

More later….

Anyone calling themselves Jay Cutler is a lying liar.

i’m still laughing!!! i would also like to say thank you for the diligence, i know it can’t be easy. if i could wreck it twice i would…

vxmcclure23 Lovie “I like the play from our safeties, but our corner play has to pick up a little bit with two of our top guys down.”

vxmcclure23 practice ended with Corey Graham picking off Caleb Hanie in two-minute drill

vxmcclure23 tommie harris got some work but was limited. hillenmeyer held out after individuals.

And something kinda funny from me:

Allie_F @WindyCG:does that mean i finally have to learn the right way to say Pisa’s name? Grr! LOL

Reply from WindyCG: @Allie_F Pisa will be around for a while….learn to spell his name right :)

Hester had a nice grab over a CB in the endzone, where he went up and got the ball.

Not good seeing Knox limp off the field as he was doing awesome on kick returns prior to the injury.

Thought it was pretty interesting seeing the D Line men bust their asses during individual drills and Tommie is sitting there chillin and watching. I know they’re watching how much they practice Tommie, but it’s Family Day he should have done something.

Not a huge Hanie believer, but he looks like he’s improving and might be a decent #2.

Loved how Babich got boo’d when he came out in the beginning.

Very interested and pumped for this season after today.

Our TE group is going to be very integral in the offense this year. Greg Olson looks SO MUCH BIGGER than everyone in the secondary when he’s running routes… it’s awesome. And Dez Clark is solid as we know. Also, Kellen Davis is a giant at 6’7" and Fontel Mines (probably won’t make the roster again) also appears to be a big target out there.

I wanted to see more hitting in the position drills… not enough contact for my liking, as they prepare for a season of football. And, I don’t know exactly what they were focusing on in the LB drills with the makeshift line made out of garbage pails… but, it looked rather unproductive to me.

Also, there was a WR drill, where two guys had to catch the ball together… using one hand each, and catching it in a high five sort of motion, as the ball would stick between the high five… not sure what that was trying to focus on, but it was cool to watch.

I didn’t think Cutler had a very great day of camp. The one deep ball in the scrimmages was very overthrown… and there were too many passes that weren’t right on the mark, where the receiver didn’t have an opportunity to catch and run.

But one thing I noticed when I looked over the roster sheets at Family Day is that not a single member of the 2005 draft is on the Bears current roster. There are two 1998 draftees on the roster (Mannelly and Kreutz) and just about every year till the present, but no member of the 2005 draft. As a matter of fact the only thing we have to show from 2005 are 2 UFA’s (Garza and Rashied Davis) Did we really do that bad that year???
