Bullard has looked fantastic so far...

Can't say that I focused on the backup NT play.  Bears seemed to be in a lot of 4-3 fronts.  But I'd guess that they'll need to keep one of the backup NTs on the roster which could be Jenkins, CJ Wilson and Rashaad Coward.

Bears look really strong at DE, but I'm kind of concerned about OLB depth beyond Floyd and Young.  Haven't seen much out of Houston - I think he may be at risk of getting cut due to his salary but we don't have much beyond him.  We know McPhee could be PUPd.  That just leaves Acho and Skuta and they are not real dynamic pass rushers.

CB and safety were huge concerns going into the offseason.  I think safety is looking much better with Demps and the rook Jackson.  Amos in reserve and the 2nd year guys Houston-Carson, Bush and Hall as well as Jones-Quartey all in the mix for backup spots.

CB play has not been outstanding but they are playing solid and are not getting burned for big plays.  First team defense as a whole has looked pretty stout, but I agree they don't seem to be playing real tight man to man defense.

We have a bunch of #2/#3 type WRs - we all knew that.   So far in the PS we have no idea what Kevin White can do.  And Markus Wheaton who would had much needed team speed is recovering from 2 injuries.

Cruz doesn't seem to be a part of the plan - I don't know why.  Gentry looks like a PS candidate.  Kendall Wright shows separation ability.   And Cameron Meridith's numbers last year were in part due to attention Jefferey received from defenses - now he will draw the focus.

A good QB will get production out of an average group of WRs.

Then the Bears are in trouble.

I would have paid to hear Jim Miller's broadcast instead of the dufus Cardinals broadcast NFLN made us listen to.

I like Jim Miller, but Sam Rosen, ugh you can have him.
