Chicago Bears 2012

Brandon Marshall for 2012 and 2013 3rd round picks, not mad..

need to sign forte and hopefully mario williams..

jason campbell coming to visit, I wouldn't mind him as a back up...

BEAR DOWN

[justinnum1]

fuck fuck fuck, cant believe we handed him to you guys.

he is a beast. he's a nut case and drops more TD's than he catches, but from 20 to 20 he will be a beast

wonder if this is just in case Graham walks...I'm hoping we can keep Corey, I think he's good at special teams and a decent nickleback

we still haven't signed Forte yet either and looks like KDavis is making his rounds...

signing JCampbell as a backup was a good pick up as well today, wonder how much money is left, still need to lock in Forte and if Kdavis leaves, we need a TE and of course another DE...

all the mock drafts just went to sh1t today...lol..

Michael Bush is a great pick up. Forte needs to understand RB's don't get big long term contracts anymore. With performance like chris johnson and injuries like AP, RB's are a gamble that teams are no longer willing to take. Most of Forte's yards came from JC checking down to him as the 5-7 step drops, poor WR's and bad o-line only allowed for this. This is not the Martz system and the WR's have been addressed (barring any suspensions for Marshall). Screens and check down tosses will not be as plentiful. Matt needs open field to run, he's always had problems getting hand off in the back field and creating for himself. that along with the fact the Forte is coming off an injury does not bode well for his expected pay day. Him and his agent need to drop their sense of entitlement and their current situation for what it is, a good one...and they should take it.

If forte holds out, I have no problem with a bush>barber/bell rotation. barber is still on the roster and would think will be should forte hold out.....

Marsahll might be facing a suspension this season from that nightclub incident a few weeks back...goodell said he will come down hard on marsahll next problem

i can see marsahll getting a 6game suspension, maybe even a year if he's founc guilty

investigation is not over, last I read the NYPD have a surveillance video and the accuser missed her first appt with detectives....

hopefully he comes out of this suspension free and not charged with anything legally

lets hope they all stay healthy

Interesting first round pick...hoping this guy compliments JP well on the pass rush...as much hate is going on, I'm hoping emery is right about this one...

stats, vids, and commentary on him seem solid though. I've read GB was actually looking at getting him in the 1st round as well....

definitely seems like the "Patriot" system type of pick that emery said he wanted to implement when he took the job....

[UdubBadger]

i had totally forgot we had marshall now... pick doesn't look as bad to me. but we need some O line help BAD

i agree with the FA on O-line as long as we stay heathy our o-line should improve. The fact that we've dumped martz and his 5-7 step drops backs already improved our o-line IMO....but o-line, CB or LB is what I'm thinking for the second round. Some mocks have us taking a TE, which isn't a bad idea IMO either....

[UdubBadger]

as many targets we can get cutler the better but we HAVE to be able to give him 2-5 sec to go through his reads so O-line makes the most sense to me. would also be nice to grab a guy who can play DB since we're already thin there.

[geneatals]

Solid pick with AJeffery in the second, gave up a 5th round pick, but well worth it if this guy can stay focussed...

3rd round pick of Hardin is a question mark, he missed the whole 2011 season due to shoulder injury and surgery but did well at the combine IMO, wonder if he'll be used as a FS or perhaps CB as he played that in college as well....

hmmm

[UdubBadger]

probably both since he'll likely be on the PUP/inactive list with all the other DB's we have.

[geneatals]

not the best draft grades via said "anal-ysts". But a good draft none the less IMO. While some of the names struck me as "huh" when announced, I'm sure and hoping our GM knows more than I do,

a good pick up of udfa's tho, especially james brown from troy....

can't wait to see Mr. Luck and the pony's on opening sunday then the pack 4 days later...BEAR DOWN

[geneatals]

man, cannot wait for nfl season to start, especially now that the nba season is over..

this forte situation is getting old and tiresome...hope it gets dealt with one way or another...

vids and news from rookie and vet camp look good...

[fokus45]

Little late but I am glad they finally signed Forte. Now I can wear my jersey longer. Lol. Gonna be a good year if everybody can mesh well together and players stay healthy.

[geneatals]

better showing tonight against the skins than the broncos, nice to see the starters in..

I like that 4DE rotation they had with Izzy and Shea lining up side by side on the left..

cutty to marshall looked good and bush cleaning up the red zone carries is nice...

Yeah Friday should be a good indicator of the kinds of schemes they will be running.

I just hope Urlacher and Conti are back buy the opener.

Fantasy League for bragging rights if anyone is interested...

draft is this Sunday @ noon
