Belated Bears Den: July 5th 2010 Edition

She definitely knows what she’s talking about!

Nice article on Graham; I really had no idea he wasn’t playing near full speed his rookie season.

“Last year was the first year that I actually felt good, where my ankle didn’t hurt,’’ he said. "My rookie year here was terrible. I was playing at like 80, 70 percent.

Even with the upgrades, the Bears are desperate for help in the playmaker area in the secondary.

We should get him…. jk

I think our W/R’s are gonna be much much improved. Bringing in someone else in would mess up the flow now.

is one of the key pieces of evidence in the trial to fire Lovie and Hoke. Graham is fast, can cover and is easily the 3rd best corner on the Bears roster (albeit IMO). The fact that he’s not been getting nickel reps and spelling Tillman/Bowman at CB more often makes me seriously question Hoke and in turn Lovie. If they don’t have any good use for the kid, then cut him and let him sign with someone else, so we can all see how incompetent Hoke really is. I am glad Bowman has gotten his promotion to starter, but with Tillman having more surgeries and getting older, Graham needs to be groomed to be a future starter. I think the guy who has suffered most from DMS (outside of DM himself) has been Graham. I fully believe the ego trip of proving that Manning is the next FS Nickel back SS has ruined the development of most of the DBs as well, Graham in particular.

1) I want to watch that series, very badly.
2) That is really cool – the story about Childress!
