He's actually good though. And was a draft pick. He was mentioned as a 4th-5th round guy by many draft types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Jimmy0 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 1, 2016 -> 09:06 AM) I forgot to look that up, any tidbits from camp yesterday? Hot has hell? White is as advertised. Cody Whitehair is probably the starter at LG. Young and Houston both appear to be in great shape and dominated 1 on 1 drills. Floyd is super skinny and I wasn't a fan of the pick but unlike McClellin he does flash crazy athleticism and explosiveness. Everyone talks about the offense being worse and I don't see it. Gase was overrated and not much will change there. Their best plays last year were when their best player (Cutler) made great plays outside of the actual offense. Everyone looks at the losses of Forte and Bennett. Their OL is better and WR are much better. Miller will have a huge year barring health. Bears should be solid.

Grasu has apparently looked really really good too. Would be nice if some of these young olinemen pan out and can gel with Long. Would be nice to have a younger line, where you should see some continuity and consistency over the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 I just remembered Forte is gone from reading that post. BTW I am a big Bears fan The White Sox have killed my interest in all sports. Hopefully the Olympics gets me out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Good to hear on Grasu, I heard he was bigger but that's it. Today had Jeffrey, Royal and Miller out though, which gave me bad flashbacks to last year. Definitely need to have a solid WR core. Our TE's are going to be a mess.

bmags Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 So you can chalk this season to be about 8-9 games with Jeffery hobbled with a hammy all year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 If Jeffrey does miss extended time again this season were gonna be really happy we didnt sign him to huge money. A few years ago the Bears would be forced to lock onto any good WR and hold on for dear life because we had absolutely zero ability to develop them but having Marshall, then getting Jeffrey and hopefully Kevin White it seems we can at least be competent at finding new WRs.

Brian Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Dude needs help. Tre Mason says he won't report to Rams camp Tracked down by WPBF Florida on Saturday, troubled RB Tre Mason shouted "No!" when asked by reporters if he would show up to Rams camp. While Rams camp is taking place in Los Angeles, Mason is spending his time in West Palm Beach. Rams coaches haven't had contact with Mason for seven-plus months. On July 27, Mason's mother called police because Tre was "acting unusual and making irrational statements." When they arrived, Mason told deputies "he would call the White House and have them fired, and that he knew police were responsible for teaching Al Quaida pilots how to fly." Police immediately took Mason to a hospital for mental evaluation. Source: WPBF Florida Aug 6 - 1:44 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Why is Joey Bosa being a jag and not signing his contract with the Chargers? Dude hasn't played a snap in the NFL and is mad that he got drafted by the Chargers? Please. His mom came out and said that they wish they pulled an Eli Manning.

shipps Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Aug 9, 2016 -> 09:45 AM) Fairly certain we are going to hear McPhee is out for year before the 4th preseason game. Everything we feared about him holding up has come to fruition. If he is going to make a full season he has to be a part time situational guy. Best case scenario with him is that or he is out for most of the year due to nagging injuries and becomes healthy towards the end. And that would be in a year that the Bears had the possibility of making the playoffs, which would likely not be this year. Its really a damn shame because the dude can flat out play.
