By the beard of Zeus, football is back, and we couldn't be happier.
It was a big day yesterday for all around, and today will bring us pads practice. Feel free to treat this as your Training Camp open thread for the day, and throw any cool updates you see into the comments below.
Also, because I love and/or tolerate you all, a special Saturday Bears Den awaits you after the jump. Adam Schefter is in Bearbonnai today, so make sure to follow his twitter feed today as well as those we showed you yesterday.
ChicagoBears.com
Harris excited to be back in Bourbonnais - And we're happy to have @ChrisHarrisNFL back. Follow his business, it's good for your health.
Veteran Clark shines on first day of camp - I hope you like tight ends (hahaha), because there's a lot of talk about them today.
Tight Ends
Cutler: Olsen will have key role in Martz's offense - Cutler will throw to them a lot.
Tight ends play big part on first day of camp - They made a lot of plays on Friday.
2010 NFL Training Camps: Chicago Bears TEs Desmond Clark, Greg Olsen highlight training camp - See? ESPN will tell you about it too.
Day 1 belongs to 'invisible' TEs - Oh my god! The Bears have invisible tight ends? Why aren't they using that to their advantage more?
Dismal '09 season might spur Jay Cutler's growth - Being below average was a good learning opportunity for Cutler, and will hopefully provide the incentive for growth!
Video of Julius Peppers after practice - Inside the Bears - I like him.
Daily Herald | Bears' Peppers: I'm ready for the pressure - I like him because he's ready for the pressure.
2010 NFL Training Camps: Julius Peppers says Bears goal is to win Super Bowl - I like him because he wants to win a super bowl.
Defense
Tillman dealing with CB switch - Seems like he might have a bit of a chip on his shoulder about it. Hopefully it spawns great play inside him. (That sentence doesn't make much sense. Sorry)
Chicago Bears: Mark Anderson inspired to have big season in 2010 - Anderson is dedicating his season to Gaines Adams.
Anderson going back to fundamentals - So he's taking it back to the old school, because he's an old fool, who's so cool. Whoomp there it is.
The Bears' defense is trying to get back to what it's famous for - Bring back the Monsters of the Midway? I have a shovel. I can dig it.
General
Bears under microscope as camp opens - Much like every other team in the league. Thanks, Yahoo!!!
BEARS IN BRIEF: Old slogan fits 'em to a T: Bring back the Monsters - Oh there are tshirts? I want one.
Kid Rock struggles with Dick Butkus' name - I didn't like Kid Rock before. His shameless, incorrect pandering is not making me like him now, either.

i too want a shirt...
I think we all should dedicate this season to Ga. He was only a bear for part of the season but he was one of us. Rip Ga and bear down everyone

Bold predictions
usually go unfulfilled. Just look at the Bears last season!

And
Chris Harris is not happy to be injured yet again. He’s out with a back strain already.

i just read that about harris
Hopefully it isn’t a bad strain and won’t keep him out too long.

When I first glanced at the headline
I did a double take. I was trying to figure out why we’d trade Urlacher and not care.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.

Yes, it will be terrible to not watch him get picked off,
swing from his ass and still only hit bloop singles, and triple-hop his throws to first. Hopefully he can hook up somewhere with Derosa so they can combine their Scrappy-Player-Fanclubs into a larger alliance, though I suspect they already share most of their members.

GET YOUR AUTOGRAPH READY!!!
Lovie Smith has just confirmed this.
Isaac Bruce will be in attendance at Bears Training Camp starting tomorrow.
I don’t know HOW many footballs I’m going to need for this, but my ideas of just bringing 2 is completely shot now.
Whoops...
Starting Tuesday. Not tomorrow. Tuesday. Carry on.
WCG has been so quiet these last two day...
What happend. First 2 days of the season and there has been almost no activity on my favorite web site. What happend in camp tonight? Can’t find any info.

Yeah, we're superbowl bound...
If two of our top players, the core of our defense and the best player on our offensive line, are sitting out on a vet’s exception, it means Lovie isn’t PUSHING this group hard enough. Pads every day, you only sit out if the doc says you can’t play. You can’t learn how your body reacts in pads unless you’re actually wearing the things. Some reduce your range of motion, especially in the arms. Some reduce your takeoff and landing speed. The helmets reduce your vision. And the pads add weight and resistance, which is helpful in both strength and endurance training. If you’re not practicing in pads, you’re not trying hard enough.
That, or because he's in his 30's
and has had his last couple seasons decimated by injuries.

Anderson
“I’ve been trying to do a lot of different things instead of sticking to what I do best,” he said. “Now I’m going back to the basics.”
This is good news for the defense. Quit being fancy, and get back to what got you here.

It worries me
that it took him 3 seasons to figure this out

Idk
I think it makes sense as a young player to try to learn as much as possible. You the know the old saying “be a sponge.”

Bad drafting and management decisions?

Just came from practice on Sunday and since there is no Sunday practice thread...
A few observations;
1. Caleb Hanie and Cutler took all the reps in 7 on 7 and full team drills
2. Cutler looked pretty good but when he misses he misses BADLY. Might be a timing thing or a new system thing but….
3. Fred Miller Frank Omiyale false started twice in three plays. Badly.
4. Tommie Harris dogged the whole practice.
5. The Devins made some pretty nice catches.
I’ll go into more detail later but I’m off to Donlins.
If you can't laugh at yourself you must not be very funny.
I remain a pessimistically hopeful Bears fan.
Oh and this was BY FAR the most people I have EVER seen at practice!!
And I’ll be going back tomorrow.

How about Peppers & Chris Williams ??

What is Donlins?
Some nice pressure from Tommie Harris in full team drills
Per Biggs. He can’t be totally doggin’ it out there. Well, at least he’s practicing!
Hopefully Omi is just getting situated on the right side. I’m sure he’s a little more antsy being out on an island.
