I like Roach
I think it will just boil down to how healthy Pisa is though on opening day. Roach is solid but a healthy Pisa should definetly be starting. Unless Roach just blows Pisa out the water in training camp, but i don’t see that happening.
Do you like him better than Pisa, Briggs or Urlacher?

So, once again Earl Bennett is being asked to learn all three receiver positions, the others only one.
Might that indicate that he’s the only one the Bears consider intelligent enough to learn three at once, rather than too stupid to learn one as others have suggested?
Can we please not beat this horse up again.

I was just making a point to the blockheads who were dissing Bennett for not getting on the field his rookie season, when it was due to the Bears asking him to learn all 3 WR positions.
I wasn’t casting any aspersions to the intellect of the other receivers. Actually, they seem a bright and talented group, and I expect a lot from them this season.

Oh my bad
I must of read your post wrong. Yeah i totally agree. Bennett not seeing the field his rookie year was not his fault at all, just inept offensive coaching.
by Chitownproduct on May 21, 2010 1:24 PM CDT up reply actions
superb use of sarcasm, well played
the argument that Bennett never made it onto the filed because he was so confused is just too funny.

Where do you get that he's learning all positions again?
I didn’t see that anywhere. And no, I doubt he’s the only receiver competent enough to learn other receiver positions. He’s probably the one guy who doesn’t have a set position like the others. Suggesting their not smart enough is pretty lame.

I did read that somewhere I believe it was in the Trib.
But I don’t think it has anything to do with the others being to dumb to learn the positions.
Adrian Pedestrian!! Now that's funny Mr. Bayless...
This is all I found
Bennett, who is coming off knee surgery, also has the capability to step up at multiple positions.
I don’t think that necessarily means that he is being asked to learn all the positions again.
by PolishSausage.Ditka.Bears. on May 21, 2010 10:56 PM CDT up reply actions
Exactly, the pertinent line FTA:
Most of the receivers, with the exceptions of Earl Bennett and Rashied Davis, have been learning just one position. Eventually, some are expected to be given a second.

Bears using a variety of WRs with first team. Aromashodu, Hester, Knox and Bennett have all seen practice time with Cutler.
The message here is:
follow Twitter now that mini-camps and training camp are on the horizon if you want news fast.

I like that the Bears are going to 2-a-days
Finally Lovie, when hes really feeling the heat, decides to push his players and not let them go through his soft one a day practice. Although, to be fair I guess, now it’s two light workout practices a day instead of one, so is it really that much better?
"I was interviewing George Halas and I asked him who is the greatest running back you ever saw. And he said, 'That would be Red Grange.' And I asked him if Grange was playing today, how many yards do you think he'd gain. And he said, 'About 750, maybe 800 yards.' And I said, 'Well, 800 yards is just okay.' He sat up in his chair and he said, 'Son, you must remember one thing. Red Grange is 75 years old.' - Chris Berman

On a different note
NFL network voted Devin Hester the #1 return ace of ALL TIME, Gale Sayers was 7

Where’s R.W. McQuarters?lol

Haha Rdub was actuall pretty good.
I will never forget how aweful Bobby Wade was though
Do or do not there is not try-Master Yoda

I usually like and agree with you. Don’t start ruining that by bashing McQuarters.

I think the Flyer
needs to have a press-conference to gloat about how he’s the best and not Sayers.
''I'm really not a Facebook or Twitter guy. I'm a prime rib and baked potato guy.'' - Sweet Lou
As good as the 2 years were that Hester had,
I don’t see how you can call him the best of all time when he went from being great to terrible. In my opinion, 2 great years followed by 2 terrible years = average at best.
Say he had the best 2 year stretch ever, but he should not be considered the all time best when his performance has fallen off far enough to be beat out as a KR by both D. Manning and J. Knox.
Hey don't shoot the messenger
Take that concern to the NFLN

I am angry, but it's nothing that a Super Bowl title or
complete coaching/front office housecleaning won’t fix.
These are my sentiments exactly
Playing against your own team is tough, because it’s hard to know if the offense is good and the defense sucks, or vice versa. Or if just everyone is terrible.
I can never really grasp how anyone is doing because it all went to crap when the season started, after it seemed like the offense was doing well in TC. It’s all a big tease in my mind.

As per Sean Jensen's observations
It’s hard to read too much into what takes place during a minicamp in late May, two moths before training camp.
Then wait until we’re a butterfly short of the preseason Buddy! Then proofread your work before you post. And this guy gets paid to write. Just Sayin’
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
