Bleacher Bums Forum

Watched most of the Senior Bowl because Getsy & Co were coaching......

Not too impressed with them. Also not too assured about the quality control of all the other coaches stepped up for the game either . Good news- Bears should not lose any coaches to other teams anytime soon and can grow with the team. Bad new is that unfortunately, they will be coaching the Bears for the foreseable future.

This is going to one year to remember (maybe for the wrong reasons) one way or the other.....

True. Nothing beats getting personal eyeballs on the guys you may want to draft. Was hoping to see a better show though. It seems the other team performed quite well after just 3 practices.....

Yes, I expect the Bears to pursue OLine help in FA.

Decision will need to be made on Patrick and Whitehair.  Patrick isn't too expensive and has the flexibility to start or backup at C/G - never really saw him at center.

Whitehair also has some flexibility too at C/G  but his contract would have to be re-done (its around $14M)  or he will be cut.

 At least in this paean to the past thread that we are posting on we are talking bears offensive line needs .

So its official that the Bears have bought the Arlington Park property

Wagner on a 1 year deal could be interesting. 

We just discussed Dremont Jones yesterday.  He's getting a lot of press because of his 6 1/2 sacks.  But he is undersized for a DT and his PFF rankings isn't that good as a 3-4 DE last season.

He would be an upgrade and would be definitely helped out playing next to Carter - but he's no Payne.

The more I look at this year's FA class the more I am underwhelmed.
