Where much like Johnny Moxon, we don't want your life.
Secondary playing well this offseason - Or is the offense playing poorly? Oh dear, please let the secondary be playing well.
Bears tight end Clark not expecting a block party - Terrible headline. Clever, but terrible.
Daily Herald | With Martz now in charge, TE Olsen has no worries - And the Daily Herald arrives with it's one Bears story for the week, about 3 weeks too late for the particular topic.
Stein way is perfect pitch to bring Bears' picks in accord - Agents like him because he is polite, and rarely late. Also, he likes to get things done quickly. And that's what she said.
Sporting News-Wiltfong, Jr Style. Lester sometimes moonlights for other sites, talking about Bears-type things. While I think that makes him a dirty traitor, you should probably read it cuz it's pretty good or whatever.
No, I like to rock n' roll all night and *part* of every day. I usually have errands... I can only rock from like 1-3. But I can follow WCG on Twitter anytime.
Rosenhaus hopes to strike another deal with Bears - Apparently Drew Rosenhaus didn't get the message that Greg Olsen is soft and there's no use for him in the Bears' new scheme, because he wants to get him all contract-extended and what not.
Atogwe could still land in NFC North - If you had told me last year that the big offseason concern was going to be where a player from the Rams' defense was going, I'd have laughed in your face.
Wayne will skip Colts' mandatory minicamp, wants new contract - This will in no way affect anything. Indianapolis isn't stupid enough to not have him on the field.
Revis skips Jets' OTA in contract dispute; lengthy holdout possible - This is neither shocking nor surprising. Remember how the Bears' holdout player this season was a guy who doesn't even really have a position? At least he wasn't an integral part of the defense.
Momma's in the kitchen cooking Daddy something good, bay-bee!

Even though
Wilt is a dirty smelly traitor, he at least plugged WCG in his article, it’s not a twitter shout out, but it’s progress
There is nothing worse than hitting submit on an a great post, only to realize you spelled a word wrong
I'm always plugging WCG!
Maybe next time I’ll plug the WCG Twitter account!

The thing that Otogwe has working against him is
1) He’s not coming off of a very good season.
2) How old is he? Isn’t he pushing 30?
At this point, I could care less if the Bears are interested in pursuing this guy. I’m just not really sold on him being a very big upgrade over Major Wright or Chris Harris…
Agreed
I like the taste of koolaid along with the next guy but you can’t honestly say Atogwe is not an upgrade to a guy who hasn’t taken an NFL snap yet. Or even a preseason snap. Don’t let these articles cloud your minds, yes it is positive to hear stuff like the secondary is improving but they are a ways off from being proven.

... And Atogwe apparently has played too many at the FS position.
He’s coming off major shoulder surgery.
Last time I checked— shoulders are a MAJOR component of a safety’s game.
He’s 29, major surgery, wants a 4-5 year deal worth a substantial piece of change, plus adding him stunts the growth of a guy you drafted for the next two years (at least).
No thanks on Atogwe.

Of course he hasn't - just throwing a name out there
What I should have said was: would Otogwe be a significant upgrade over Manning or Chris Harris? For $7 million/year – or whatever it is that he’s asking for?
I agree he's not worth the money
but the Bears have already satisfied their need to upgrade the safety positions. Too bad they signed Malu or whatever his name is. Could’ve used his money to sign OJ, and also kept Williams.
Btw- he’s 29 I believe and probably his best days are behind him.

Darren Sharper is 34...
and helped take his team to a superbowl and win. I wouldn’t say Atogwe is like Sharper, but 29 is not that old. Anyway, I still think we’re better off not trying to sign Atogwe.

to futher on Kev's response...
when the comment get’s three “rec’s” it then gets engreeninated (meaning, it turns green).

Thanks, Colonel Angus.

Nope.

I was actually going for the overly obvious. But I absolutely love the simile.

Is there any point
in signing a contract these days? Maybe agents and teams should just have the players mark their name with an X. It’s obvious nothing is set in stone when there is an agreement made, and fulfillment of the said contract. Solution? Put a cap on rookie contracts.

Dan Pompei has a few things to say about our secondary:
I was able to watch the team practice during OTAs Wednesday and I thought Corey Graham did very well. It was as good as I have seen him practice. Maybe it’s the start of something.
Steltz currently is getting reps at free safety and playing the position well. I think he has taken a big step since last training camp. He came on late last season when he got a chance and has done nothing to offset his momentum. The knock on Steltz he can’t run. But he always seems to be in position, he doesn’t blow assignments and he makes plays. I wouldn’t be surprised if he is in the starting lineup on opening day.

Sport does not ~build~ character; it reveals it.
I have to say I've never seen Steltz really make any glaring mistakes.
I just don’t remember him standing out in a positive way either.

Well, he did take Charles Tillman out for the remainder of the season when he cracked him in the ribs trying to hit the ballcarrier late last sea-
in a positive way
Oh. Never mind.

Never seen him make any spectacular plays either.
Haha!?
<> I’m open to the possibility of him being the FS though.
Geaux Steltz!

Difficult for me to see Steltz starting on opening day
Harris and especially Manning & Wright have such a higher ceiling than Steltz.
But with that said, if he goes out there and wins a starting job this summer, good for him.
Just don’t be a speed bump for Ryan Grant again.
I thought that was
Josh Bullocks?
Look forward to Harris back there. As for Stetlz…who is a a present FS today we can compare his potential skill set to? I mean a FS who is not physically gifted but is at the right place at the right time.

Sounds like you’re describing Mike Brown.
When Grant destroyed Steltz
I couldn’t believe he was a pro player… disgusting play
