It was a long time ago

but I seem to remember that it is a long haul from the airport to the city. I suspect he was worried about missing his next flight if did any sightseeing.

I may be old but I... oh d*mn, I forgot what I was going to say.

Best from Team Report

The Bears have changed starting safeties 41 times since Lovie Smith was hired as head coach in 2004.

Wow just wow

That's more than starting QBs we've seen right?

Sparta??? This...is... BEARS MADNESS!!!!!!!

I think so, how sad is that?

Just call me Mr. 3000.

Jason Fox would be a good pick.

No Chance for Otogwe?

Then we should take good hard look at Deon Grant.

Deon Grant is a strong safety

we don’t need more of those.

Technically, yes we have quite a few, we still need a good one though

I don't agree

Payne showed that he can man that position, as well as Afalava.

Who said their was NO chance for Atogwe

There is still a small chance for us getting him

The Bears should

trade next years 1st and this years 3rd to move up in the 1st round and get Eric Berry by any means necessary…..He has speed, good tackler, ball hawk and will be our Safety for years…It would be nice to have an Ed Reed Troy P type of player back there

Kobe isnt good....He's just better than your favorite player

by EmmCeee on Mar 23, 2010 8:57 PM CDT reply actions

As much as i'd love to have Berry

I think jettisoning more draft picks is the farthest thing from “the answer” that we could posisbly do.

In the even that the leaders on this team figure out how to have a good draft(see: 2000) the ramifications of new players is so much more than not having those picks to develop and play for a long time.

combining youth, enthusiasm, and ability is something that only that draft can do.

Sparta??? This...is... BEARS MADNESS!!!!!!!

I was throwing it out there

I really dont want to give up any picks but if they had a chance to get Berry without giving up everything I would definitely consider it…It would be nice for someone to take Manning and give us a 2nd round pick. THAT would give us an opportunity to take 2 quality players and fill need spots.

Wonder if the Bears are interested in Vernon Gholston

next year, or maybe even this year somehow, with the Jets, guy was like 6th over all and is only 23. floundering as a converted LB in the NFL, but was a monster in college with his hand on the ground.
