The Bears Den: August 4, 2010

DL seems ready!

… I thought it just suggested that there is a “fire” lit underneath the two units and they both are playing hard in camp early on.

Jenson also noted a scrap yesterday between Beekman and Gilbert. That doesn’t mean that fans should rush to the defense of Beekman, does it?

Ha!

Jay Cutler will be fine and he doesn’t need fans to defend him at every twist and turn that doesn’t go his way. He’s a competitor and doesn’t like losing. Yesterday, the defense had his way with him and the OL. The coaches will set it up that the DL will have their day too.

That’s camp.

but you’d have to think the Texans would be at the top of the list. Plus, I don’t see Angelo doing anymore tinkering with the DL at this point.

It doesn’t really matter what the “experts” say. I’d rather be considered a team that sucks and proves them wrong than a team that’s supposed to stomp people into the ground and goes 8-8.

There’s no way T-Jack can do what Favre can for the vikes, but as much as I suspect he’ll be back anyway, that ankle is going to slow him down. How long can he hobble around Peppers?

I concur: Vikes minus Favre < Da Bears

Unfortunately, it sounds like Favre is coming back. He’s out there throwing to the high school kids again, and said that he’ll play if the ankle allows.

At this point, I’m just hoping that Peppers sends Favre into retirement for good.

I get the feeling that working with Issac Bruce has really helped to polish Hester as a WR. In particular, the advice from Bruce that not every part of every route is meant to be run at full speed. I think Bruce’s tutoring will work wonders for Hester. I won’t be suprised if Hester has 1,100 yards and 8 TDs this year.
