Defensive line
NFCN Blog Rookie buzz: Shea McClellin - Kevin Seifert: "He had a first step on many of the offensive linemen he faced in 1-on-1 drills before getting pushed around the pocket on several occasions. I viewed the latter as a function of developing technique more than limited skills."
Rough pass rushing day for rookie McClellin - Moon Mullin: McClellin, a speed rusher in every respect, is now tasked with developing a stronger catalog(ue) of moves and counter-moves.
McClellin disappointed despite flashes - Michael C. Wright: But did manage to use speed and burst to blow past Webb, Chris Williams during individual and team drills to get to QB.
Time will tell if rookie Shea McClellin can fill key third DE role - Brad Biggs: In the last 28 regular-season games, since Mark Anderson was released, the Bears' third end has collected just two sacks.
McClellin not happy with start to camp - "There were the usual rookie mistakes from Shea McClellin in practice Sunday. Those can be corrected. But what has to be catching the eyes of Bears coaches, and maybe even raising a red flag, is how dominated McClellin has been through two days of practice in pads." High motor did earn him a "sack", puts pressure on Wootton.
Wootton out to prove doubters wrong - JD: Offseason work appeared to pay off, at least on Saturday night, when Wootton routinely got around offensive tackles during one-on-one pass rushing drills.
Bears' Stephen Paea far ahead of his rookie-year pace at nose - Can play nose or the three-technique DT spots, but for now the Bears appear to have settled on using him at the nose because Price is an ideal three-technique.
Change of scenery may have been just what Price needed - Moon Mullin: Expected to be a strong contender for the nose-tackle job, with Melton and Paea as the two fixtures at the three-technique.
Bears' DL must help Julius Peppers - Julius Peppers accounted for one-third of the Bears' sacks in 2011. To take the heat off Peppers, the Bears need rookie Shea McClellin and others to find a way to get to the QB.
Bears looking for boost up front on defense - Recorded no sacks in two games, and only one in a further six.
Offense & general camp chatter (more in the excellent recap thread)
NFCN Blog CampTour'12: A leaner Gabe Carimi - Seifert: Following a diet designed to increase muscle mass, Carimi has dropped 10 pounds and weighed in here at 308 pounds. He also decreased his body fat from 26 percent to 19 percent.
Carimi passes initial test without problem - 2011 first-round draft pick passed his first real test in his return from a pair of knee surgeries, making it through two days of contact work without physical problems.
