The Brian Quick article makes me laugh.

I posted about 3-4 weeks ago about Quick and how he is going to be a steal for some team out there. And go figure he is turning heads at the Senior Bowl practices. Hope to see him snagged up by the Bears in the 3rd round.

Wouldnt it be funny if we had another DE with the last name Salters!

Good job on him,

He deserves a shot to play. The guy has a tremendous skill set and should be able to make a name for himself in the NFL.

He'll need to work on his hands

Reports are that he is a tremendous athlete but has had a couple bad drops

And if the Bears pick him up, he'll have Darryl Drake?

While he said he was ’’blessed’’ to have good coaching at Appalachian State, he didn’t have a true position coach to teach him the finer points of playing wide receiver.

is that better or worse than no coach?

Judging by how he has developed WR's since he's been here...

I’d say about the same

Sorry for another music post but... Lafaro!

I was actually at Pigstock – tiny little festival in Northern Ireland. Not only was I the only Englishman there but it was also just about the drunkest I’ve ever been in my life, which is quite an achievement. As I said the other day, while watching the Super Bowl at my house a couple of years ago I had all of the Lafaro boys dressed in Bears gear so they’re all honorary fans. Actually, that night was about the second drunkest I’ve ever been in my life – what is it with the Irish?!
