Well that's a problem. Sounds like TE catching the ball willnot be a factor this year unless we pick somone up.

Well, I read it, so I must be a true Bear fan.  But I didn't see anything new in it.

Did ANYONE say there was anything NEW in it? The article just points to the Bears being determined to find a kicker and this Baltimore kicker seems to be high on the Bears watch list. It might be new that they will be

closely watching the Raven preseason games in addition to their own although likely not advertising they are watching. Old addage is, "Where there is smoke there is fire." That seems to indicate a lot of smoke.

My takeaways are that the kicker has a strong leg and will be showcased in the preseason, so we will see.  On the downside, you're trying to make a professional football team, and you are out, past 3am in East Baltimore.  I would question his judgment.

Agreed, I was all over this kid, until he got mugged being with 2 hookers past 3am in Baltimore.  Not exactly a moral endorsement.  Then again if he can kick, and stay out of trouble, and Fry and Piniero falter, we could do worse.

Who is fired up for the season???

RBs coach Charles London on rookie David Montgomery: “He’s very conscientious. He wants to do it right, wants to do it the way that we want it done, the way that it’s coached. He’s very diligent. He’s learning to be a pro and he’s doing good at it.”

WRs coach Mike Furrey on Allen Robinson: "He’s comfortable, and he’s confident in where he’s supposed to be. He looks healthy. Now we’ve just got to keep him going, keep him growing. He wants to grow. He’s trying to learn everything he possibly can.”

QBs coach Dave Ragone lauded Mitchell Trubisky for his growth, maturation and mentality, saying: "The things that you need as a quarterback to develop long-term at this level are things that he’s working on, constantly being reminded about and getting better at.”

ILBs coach Mark DeLeone on Danny Trevathan: “Anybody including myself that gets to be around Danny Trevathan every day gets a little bit better. I remember the very first day I met him when I got the job here, I think I had chills after I left. He’s just such an impressive guy."

OLBs coach Ted Monachino on Khalil Mack: "His attitude and his leadership skill translates to both sides of the ball, translates to the locker room, translates to special teams, and all of our guys look at him and look to him for that kind of leadership.”

DL coach Jay Rodgers on Akiem Hicks: “When he walks through the door the first time, immediately you know how big he is. What I didn’t understand watching the film was how athletic he was. ... He brings the nasty to the defense that nobody else does that I’ve been a part of."

You seemed to take my comment as an insult or a slight.  I certainly didn't mean it that way.  My only point is that just about every Bear fan knows that they desperately need a top kicker, and that the Bears are leaving no stone unturned to find one.  And that particular possibility was already well known to everyone on the board, and anyone familiar with this front office has to know that the Bears are all over him.

Whether or not the Bears actually get him will depend on a lot of things, but lack of Bears interest in him is not likely to be one of them.

Training camp news on the score from Mark Grote

Fuller is dominating.

Kevin Tolliver is playing the deep ball well.  That was his weakness last year.

Hookers?  No thank you.  Sounds like someone you can't trust when the good times start to roll, and then you need that big kick.

FWIW IMHO

Montgomery shows he belongs in the NFL, as does Wims (again).

If the Bears have to rely on Kwitkowsk for any length of time, he's going to be exploited mercilessly (he's just overmatched covering anyone- reminded me of the 1st Packers game again). He can cover the run ok but that is not enough in this defense. Thankfully he's a backup but they've got to find someone better....

Bray uses all his 6'6'' height to be a terrible QB. Surely they could get someone better to be QB 3 ?

Special teams meh again this year but they are throwing things against the wall to see what sticks I think.....
