PrintThe site numbers suggest a lot of you are poking around today, so I thought I'd bring you a little bit of fresh news links to discuss.
The Bears have signed seven players on the Practice Squad-
The group includes quarterback Brett Basanez, defensive end Ervin Baldwin, defensive end Joe Clermond, guard Johan Asiata, fullback Will Ta’ufo’ou, cornerback Woodny Turenne and center Donovan Raiola.
Garrett Wolfe expects to contribute significantly this year.
"A lot of people forget the fastest way to the end zone is straight up the field," Wolfe said. "People make a big deal about running to the perimeter. It's always good to stretch the defense, but no matter which way you go, those same 11 defensive guys are going to be there."
And, if any of you are interested in tedious slideshows, here is one called "Meet your 2009 Chicago Bears".

If we sign Johnson, it won't be for practice squad
I do hope Freeman gets a chance but he might be head to CFL
The sun will shine in '69
He played very well
but got caught in a numbers game.

I bet
I just bet that 8th spot is so that the next cut has a opportunity to go to the PS because we will be getting another RB real quick here I could B wrong.
haha why ian johnson?!?
we’d have 4 rbs? what are we going to do with all them? we only hand the ball off to forte and the only place where garett should contribute is on special teams…he def shouldnt run the ball, we’ve given him a chance too many times
Johnson would be a great drawl play running back.
He struggles with special teams though.. like most younger players. Thats why they get cut.
I have seen a QB and it was good.
Not a good enough reason
Contrary to thought, GW is very good at draws, screens, misdirections, and of course STS.

Is that a player
Johnson would be a great drawl play running back.
who only does well against southern teams?

I was thinking that, but couldn't figure out how to say it.
Well done. +1
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
yeah, took me a minute
to think of how to phrase it.

well I guess the Vikings didn't give him a chance.. according to Johnson.
Maybe you give him a look and cut Gains?
I have seen a QB and it was good.
I was saying Ian Johnson....
in another thread… Suprised to see Rideau not on the list tho!!!
GO BEARS!!!!
I don't think Rideau is eligible anymore

That's correct
You can only be on the same club’s PS for two seasons.

If we were going to add another RB
I’d think it would be a veteran, who understands NFL offenses… and can pass block and pick up blitzes.

Jerry Angelo trades for Jay Cutler! (4.2.2009)

Rhodes makes sense....
so we know that would be a stretch for Lovie et al.
Wolfe is a luxury the Bears cannot afford.
Ian Johnson has the angry down pat. Haven’t seen much of his actual play.
What is comes down to is that Wolfe or Peterson will have to go to make room for a solid #2 RB. I don’t really care who, but I vote for keeping Peterson.
I do agree about that last open position on the PS, it screams for one of “the 53”, but for whom??
There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.
nice read....
Cutler seemed to have a lil attitude in the interview but I dont want him to be a panzy anyway.. I like his a$$holish ways!!! LOL…
Q: Do you think people forget Elway forced a trade because of how well he played?
A: You did. … So obviously, yes….
LOL
GO BEARS!!!!

My thoughts exactly.
And the stuff about “Sizzle” wanting Chicago Bears gear every Christmas when he was a kid… priceless.
On a side note, I was raised in Owensboro, KY which is the same area as Santa Claus and Evansville, IN. So as dorky as it may be, I enjoyed those towns being mentioned in the article… kinda makes it personal. ;-)
This is great
DH- Who’s the best quarterback in the NFC North?
Sizzle- We’ll find out at the end of the year.
Good man, let your play do your talking.

Solid practice squad guys
Mostly who we expected it to be.
"We're only gonna score 17 points? Hah hah" - some clown.
Yep, agreed.
Would’ve been nice to have Rideau on there, but nonetheless, solid.
Hear about the blind hooker, you gotta hand it to her.
Rex Grossman has to be a test-tube baby, cause he's not worth a f---!!!

Not eligible

Kinda surprised Freeman didn't make it
He must have really not impressed them much. I know we have depth at linebacker, but no one who jumps out as being untouchable.

ChiFan13, we'll have to look for different sources for a one-liner...
Cutler had a makeover (http://www.michiganavemag.com/MA_SP09_100_NEW.html)
Back to Stephanie from Wisconsin……
Well I guess that's a good thing
I mean the numbers of posters at least, looks like the site is taking off.
The sun will shine in '69
Thank You Harry!
Now have another Budweiser and go into a rant about how Ivan DeJesus translates to Ivan of Jesus and then on the following play literally call him Ivan (DE) (Jesus). Holy Cow!!!
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
Try this one on for size...
linky to interesting take from Detroit reporter.
Nothing new, but it puts a good outsider perspective on our Bears!
