NFL.com Blogs: Blog Archive Favre’s return seems obvious to everyone - I want him back. The league needs him back. I do not want there to be any avenue for the Vikings to have any excuse as to why they don't perform in 2010. I want them to have all the best players they possibly have, so if when the Bears defeat them, they can tuck their tail between their legs and return home like the Bears did early last year.
Bobby Johnson retires as Vanderbilt's head coach - There appears to be no truth to the rumor I just made up that he did it so he could watch Jay Cutler's rise to superstardom uninterrupted.
Here's a video interview with Dan LeFevour:
And here's a look at Earl Bennett's offseason:

Can we put the TO debate to rest now, Cutler doesn't want him and that's good enough for me.
And Cutler doesn’t think that group, which includes Devin Hester, Devin Aromashodu, Johnny Knox and Earl Bennett, needs the addition of Terrell Owens.
From ESPN Chicago article
If Mike Ditka punched you in the face, you'd have to fight off the urge to thank him.
he’s a T.O.ol
In the 8th grade Mike Ditka won his school's Science Fair with a model of a working volcano. There were 17 other working volcano's made that day, but only one named Mount Ditka.

Who Mark Schlereth?
He’s a douche too.

Like Cutlers statements this far
Keeps it positive, continually praises his receivers and Martz. Not like he is going to say, “yep they suck” but still good to hear.
Hopefully they will all gel and Martz can tweak throughout the year to maximize players understanding levels and his system.
Its funny I was going to bring this up. Sometimes Cutler has this smartass insincere way he talks to the media. Last year and right around draft time when he talked about the WR you could tell he thought they sucked. Lately when he talks about them he doesn’t give off that vibe anymore. Now he could of been talked to about it or he could really believe they are a capable bunch of kids now. IDK which
Since the face been revealed the game got real
WR depth chart from Biggs?
Projected depth chart entering camp
Hester, Iglesias, Davis Knox, Armoashodu, Bennett
Inglesias as #2 or am I reading that wrong?
I was figuring on paper Hester, Aroma, Knox (slot), 4th TBD. But I know Martz will shit them around obviously.

Let me fix that for you, the other way gives me a bad mental picture.

It'll be interesting to see who the no. 2 receiver will be out of the bunch.
I think we can all agree that Hester will be a starter, but the second receiver will be interesting to see.
My bet is that it’s Earl Bennett as he has been said to be the best route runner on the team by every sports analyst in Chicago. Also, if you look at his production towards the end of the season, you will find that when a big play was needed on 3rd down— Cutler found Bennett to move the chains. I think he is built in the mold of a Torry Holt and can effectively get off the line.
I am excited about Pre-week 1 to get a good look at this group.

I don't think it matters who's the 1 or 2.
Bennett and DA are Jay’s favorite targets to throw to. Those two are QB friendly; meaning they put themselves in position to make the tough catches and go after balls. That’s one thing I dislike about Hester and Knox. The ball has to be placed in the perfect spot for them to catch the ball. I’m hoping that changes with Martz teaching them and Hester working out with Isaac Bruce.

Ditto!
Jay likes DA, but during “crunch time” he looked to, and threw the ball to, Mr. Bennett!
The numbers speak for themselves. Not only receptions, but receptions for a First Downs.

Bennett will make the tough catch in traffic
Cutler trusts him to do so.

Word is
that his ankle isn’t making the progress he’d like. Knowing Favre, it’ll be good enough to play on, but here’s hoping he’s a little slower than usual so we can see him get drilled. :)
Training camp hasn't started yet
It’s the excuse, don’t think he can play the hold out “can’t make up my mind” routine again. He needs it to be “slower” than normal so he can miss training camp but he will be ready come gamedays.
You sir, are clairvoyant. Saint Brett, the mighty warrior, will struggle onto the field by the third preseason game and save Viking nation.
So it is written, so shall it be done.
I'm hoping too...
I might be going to my first Bears game at Soldier Field for my 21st bday…and they’re playing the Vikings that weekend. :)
You could say it has the poetential to be an "arresting" weekend.

#2 WR
I think it’s DA. Good chemistry w/Jay and he can use the good performances at the end of last year (MIN, @ DET) as a springboard to an even better 2010
3 ahead of him
Yeah I am excited but he has to work his way to number 2. Knox deserves to be on the field, and Cutler will politic for Bennet to be on the field and he is the most sure handed IMO, Hester is gettin paid like he should be on the field. But I hope he shines when he gets his chance.
Since the face been revealed the game got real
Is this just me or is
LeFevour 6’10"? Or is the guy interviewing him 5’2"? Maybe he’s in a wheelchair in which case I should apologize….
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
