Who stays? Who goes? Who starts? Who blows?

We're about three weeks away from camp opening but there are already some discussions to be had about this Bears team. Will they lose a game? Will they be scored on in the playoffs? How many points will they win the Super Bowl by?

And which white guy will be the most beloved member of the practice squad?

I can't fucking wait. So: TIME TO POST!

Shea McClellin's march to 25 sacks, Brandon Marshall's road to 30 TDs, and Jake Utler's path to shoving a championship down the haters' throats has begun. Not to mention MVP-caliber seasons from Peppers, Urlacher, Forte, Briggs, and Chicagoland Educator of the Year Peanut Tillman. SUPER BEARS SUPER BOWE

The best part is going to be the meatball rage when Sanzenfucker gets cut.

Bears acquired Brian Price, DT, from the Bucs for a conditional pick. 2010 second round pick. Started 14 games last year and had 3 sacks. Not sure why the Bucs would give him away for a pittance, but this is another good depth move by Emery. I don't really see where this could be a bad trade even if he gets hurt again, since they gave up practically nothing for him and they're not counting on him to start. That didn't stop idiots on PFT from bitching about the Bears trading for a defensive lineman from Tampa since Gaines Adams worked out so well. Because you can naturally assume there's a good chance Price is just going to fucking die.

At no time in the nearly 100 year history of this franchise have they had top talent at QB, WR and RB at the same time.  The fact that they have depth at these positions (well, we'll see about WR--hopefully it doesn't matter) makes it even more awesomer.  Splooge.

Zach Zaidman claimed that Price was a deeply-troubled man who recently punched Tampa's No. 1 pick in the face. If he turns out to be a rotation-worthy DL, that punch will be remembered fondly in these parts. (points to man parts)

Olin was a bit of a loose cannon, who once got in a fight with the great PED-aided Jim Miller in 2000 or 2001, attempting to extricate on of Miller's fingers with his teeth. Later, he and Miller, who were actually friends, got into another argument and Kreutz responded by leaving the building they were in, going to the trunk of his car, grabbing a long iron, and taking it to Miller's brand-new, off-the-lot Mercedes.

So he's like Carlos Zambrano with a Hawaiian accent. Except Carlos would probably have been a more devastating center if he wasn't moved up to QB on the depth chart.

I believe Kreutz broke Miller's jaw, then Miller clocked him the weight.

Keep in mind that the Bears were so deep at tackle at the time that Fred Miller was starting.

I thought Kreutz broke Miller's jaw with the weight. And then he smashed Sammy's boombox with it.

And if he sucks they gave up a conditional pick for him. Nothing wasted. I think it's a good move.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Since neither guy could catch AIDS in an African dick storm, why wouldn't you at least want the four-way special teams ace on your roster?

Not for nothing--okay, maybe for nothing--but Rashied Davis will always be remembered fondly by me for making several big catches in the SUPA BOWE year.  I know he sucks but I can't quite rip on the guy either.

The game winner against the Vikings, the reception in OT to set up the game winning FG against Seattle in the playoffs. He's also a stellar fucking gunner. Sanzenfucker is short, slow, drops passes, and hasn't done anything noteworthy on special teams. That said, Cutler seems to like him, so he might make it simply because of that. Not sure why Cutler would handicap himself by insisting on a roster spot for a guy who drops as many passes as he catches, but maybe it's like Greg Maddux insisting that Paul Bako be his personal catcher.

Bears name J'Marcus Webb 2nd worst LT in the league.  Chris Williams takes the top spot.

If those two catches were all Rashied Davis ever did it would be reason enough to love the guy.

This is kind of random.... I had a dream once where Davis was decapitated during a game. He was lying on the ground after a big hit and Peanut grabbed his hands to help him up, but when he did his head stayed on the ground. Just sitting there in the helmet. It was kind of a weird dream.

That's probably still the right call. Chris Williams at this point is probably the less mistake-prone player, but J'Marcus still has a ton of talent. I'm not a big Webb defender, but if you want to make the most of this news, Webb's biggest issue is stupidity, not consistency. I've mentioned before that, while Pro Football Focus had him ranked low overall on the season, he was a solid run blocker and his pass blocking was average or above average in most of his games. Unfortunately, the games where he graded out poorly were utter fucking disasters like Detroit, KC, Denver, and Seattle. Understandably, the Bears are thinking that if he was a respectable tackle most of the time who merely fucked up tremendously when he was put in bad situations, you reduce the number of bad situations and hope all goes well from there. I still think they'll be able to patchwork their way through this season at LT and then make that their top offseason priority. If Carimi stays healthy they've got more than enough depth at the other four spots on the line to be a productive offense. You can hide a LT if you have to, especially if you're going to be running a decent amount of bootlegs with a right handed passer.

Unfortunately, the games where he graded out poorly were utter fucking disasters like Detroit, KC, Denver, and Seattle. Understandably, the Bears are thinking that if he was a respectable tackle most of the time who merely fucked up tremendously when he was put in bad situations, you reduce the number of bad situations and hope all goes well from there. I still think they'll be able to patchwork their way through this season at LT and then make that their top offseason priority. If Carimi stays healthy they've got more than enough depth at the other four spots on the line to be a productive offense. You can hide a LT if you have to, especially if you're going to be running a decent amount of bootlegs with a right handed passer.

Yeah. That's what I said.

Bears name J'Marcus Webb 2nd worst LT in the league.  Chris Williams takes the top spot.

It's not the beginning of the end it's the end of the beginning or something Tice, schemes, something else, jew penises.

That's probably still the right call. Chris Williams at this point is probably the less mistake-prone player, but J'Marcus still has a ton of talent.

Here's where I'm at: Urlacher is clearly hurt and it's a matter of time before he goes on IR. There is no reasonable back up plan.

There is a cottage industry in here.   How about paying a fee to the Cubs/Bears/Marlins/whoever and in return you get signed to a contract employing you and simultaneously accepting your resignation/retirement without benefits or other compensation?  You can say that you retired as a member of the New York Jets!  No danger of raiding the pension plan since no contributions were ever made on your behalf.  Of course there would be a finder's fee, (agent commission), for the guy who brokers the deal.  Kind of like Rudy.

You can actually take the concept and build it out - the basic "retirement package" includes contract and termination.

For additional fees, they can include things like uniform, locker nameplate, doing the ceremonial coinflip, football card, team meal etc.

Port this over to other sports (with appropriate adjustments for that sport), and you could even make the Phoenix Coyotes profitable.

So as it turns out, Brian Urlacher's injury is worse than all of us thought. I know, for fact, that if he was healthy, he'd be out there practicing and getting ready for Thursday's preseason opener. It's not in his character to not practice so it's certain, that he's hurt.

This is just another reason to blame Lovie Smith for these problems. I can understand why Urlacher wanted to play the last game of the season last year but if Lovie had a brain, he would have thought long term with him. Sit him out in a meaningless game. Before the idiots come out and say "The preseason is meaningless", I would say it's not. Players may find at least some of the games to be useful to see live play against other teams and to try to get into form.

As in years past, the Bears suck without Urlacher playing. There isn't much depth at the position and this goes back to once again, Jerry Angelo for not being able to draft a decent linebacker other than Briggs. All of the other picks at the position have sucked immensely.

It's almost like he's trying too hard to be a meatball here.  Blaming  a GM who's no longer here?  Didn't CFiHP do that yesterday with Hendry?

Yeti--your performance reeks of effort, man.

I'd like to add that the only thing that bothers me about the Urlacher injury is that it happened in the only game they won down the stretch, and the only one for which it didn't matter.  Fucking Marion Hanie.

Preseason games ARE meaningless, if you are looking only at standings. But the workouts, practices, drills, and many other things that are a part of the preseason ARE important. Which make your comments spot on Fro. Anybody arguing with that is a fucking moron.

Get it right'd

Yep. Brian Urlacher definitely needs all of those practice reps to get him up to speed on a defense he hasn't played in for 8 fucking years or anything. I realize that was a Froll, but I'm actually hearing this from people who would seem to have a brain. If Urlacher doesn't take the field against the Packers (he can take the Colts game to rest too, if he wants. They can use Roach at the middle and Hayes at SAM and get by), I will officially panic. Until then, get out of the way of my Bearsboner.

I was not Froll'd. Nor did I lol.

This.

Urlacher's also not getting any younger, so why not let him have an easier August so he might have a little more in the tank come December?

No Cutler, Forte, Peppers, or Urlacher, but Seamus McClellin and Alshon looked good. End of story.

I've learned not to react to these things.

Every year I marvel at people (not just Bears fans) who take the preseason seriously. Every year it turns out to be completely irrelevant and yet they fall for it again and again.

Not "completely". If a guy gets hurt, there's a whole fuckload of relevance.

When Major Wright picked off the third deflected Manning pass I stood up and cheered and high-fived some people because FOOTBALL. Then I joked to DadPex that Wright injured himself on the play and we'll see him again in about October.

Those first two TD drives were a delicious sampling of what should be the finest offensive buffet in the history of this franchise.

I know it's ONLY PRESEASON but in all seriousness, where do you think Alshon Jeffery ranks on the all-time list of Bears wideouts? I have him third behind Brandon Marshall and Dennis McKinnon. But it's only preseason. That could change slightly.

There's a ton of the same-old "DA BEARS! 1985!" stupid stuff, but this was pretty legit:

Quote
Despite having an OL that has given up the most sacks in the NFL over the last two seasons (105) we selected zero OL in the draft. ZERO! And don't think that's because we picked up a stud OL via free agency because that didn't happen either. And get this: Mike Tice, the OL coach responsible for the worst OL in football the past two years, just got PROMOTED to Offensive Coordinator. You can't make this shit up.

Granted, you can pin a bunch of that on Angelo, but still...that's funny.  

Also, I don't know which one of you wrote this (it's about 5000 words too few for SKO, so I assume it was someone else):

Quote
1. This is a fan base that wanted to run the first decent QB we have had since WW2 out of town because he couldn't come back into the NFC Championship Game after he shredded his MCL. I guess Jay Cutler permanently injuring his knee while being completely ineffective would have been worth it in order for Cutler to prove he is "Chicago tough". They then clamored for Caleb Hanie to get a shot at the starting QB job (I'll give you a minute to let that sink in). Then turned around and complained about how bad Hanie was last year and wondered why anyone would put him on an NFL roster.

Also, totally accurate.

Quote from: Big Daddy DrewEvery time I hear Ditka speak, I become convinced that the 1985 Bears were really coached by Buddy Ryan and a rotating group of drunken team captains. Ditka is a fucking buttsteak, and it galls me to think that he serves as a kind of unofficial ambassador for the city of Chicago. It's one of the greatest cities in the world, and here's Andy Reid's drunk uncle representing it. He's less a football legend than a hilarious caricature of one.

Also, it couldn't be me because all I ever do when Bears fans bitch about not addressing the o-line in the draft is point out that they spent a first round pick on a tackle last year. One who played two games. But shit, might as well give up on him and draft another right tackle because, as usual, there's not a LT left at their spot in the draft order.

Hub was on the Score yesterday telling B&B that Hester should not be playing receiver and that if anyone else returns a punt or kickoff this year it's a travesty of coaching. I disagree with this completely and believe that Hester will prove extremely valuable in the passing game once teams have to spend all their energy stopping Marshall and Forte. I have no empirical evidence to support my staunch belief in Devin Hester and Lovie Smith has human beings. But I have my asshurt. And that's quite a thing.

Hub is pretty much right in that if I had to pick one living human to return a punt or a kickoff, it would be Hester. Babe Ruth was a pretty good pitcher, but it so turned out that he was the best impact hitter the game had seen. Dick Butkus was a great high school fullback and I'm sure Urlacher could play tight end or fullback and in his prime he'd be better than Damian Shelton or Ryan Wetnight or whomever else they had out there. Hester's value is as a kick returner.

This. I doubt there's a coach anywhere in the NFL losing any sleep over Hester running patterns and catching passes.

In his basement?

If you have a player with Hester's ability to move and you don't try to get the ball in his hands on offense, you're doing something wrong. Now that the kickoffs are moved up, I really don't care who they put back there to watch it sail into the seats. And most teams punt away from Devin, or at least try. So, you've got a guy with that kind of ability and you leave it up to the other team to decide how many touches he gets in a game?

Fuck you. I don't like you.

Could be the problem was a lack of talent on offense that kept them from doing anything all that well in the passing game, or a lack of coaching from Turner, Martz et al. Could be that's all fixed now. We'll see how it plays out, won't we, smart guys?

Well the fact that he's too stupid to memorize more than 2 plays probably doesn't help.  And he's a shitty route runner.  And doesn't have great hands.  Other than that, he's a solid receiver.  They'll just stick him in the slot (=)and throw 4 yard slants to him and hope he can run fast and far and not die.  Like Forrest Gump.  Who you remind me of other than the accomplishments he had and his love for white women.

Putting Hester out there with Bennett and Marshall and Jeffrey and Forte will create a coverage nightmare for anyone, but to think that Hester should be more than a situational receiver if it is at the expense of him returning kicks is wrong.

I suppose it could be all Dave Toub's kickoff and punt return packages and as long as you have someone who won't trip over his own feet you'll have a return threat. It's possible. But sure, let's see how it all plays out.

Didn't Johnny Knox make the pro bowl as a KR and didn't Danielle Manning lead the league in average returns? Yesir. That's not to say that it's all Toub's system, but they brought in a talented guy in Weems to do that. I'm not in favor of making him more than a situational receiver but injuries may cause that to happen. I'm convinced he's going to be very good at it in a limited role this year and I can't wait to start a thread tearing you all apart, getting real personal and out of line.

The idea that Devin Hester's struggles at wide receiver or at kick returner were due to him being both is lame and doesn't hold water. The idea that Devin Hester wasn't good at playing receiver because he's not a good receiver has some merit. I think Devin Hester's an excellent situational receiver but am beyond glad that they have a GM in Emery who hasn't staked part of his career on the notion that he paid Hester like a #1 receiver and thus must force him into the lineup. Emery and everyone else can inflate Hester's ego all they want with the usual hubub about him being an All-Pro receiver, the important thing is that their actions say they're doing everything they can to avoid being reliant on anything other than mediocrity from Hester at that position. They traded for Marshall, spent a 2 on a guy who isn't your prototypical slot receiver, and extended Earl Bennett while they beefed up the kick returner position and Devin's nearing the end of his contract. Connect the dots, people.

Instead of the "Hester shouldn't play receiver" crowd vs. the "Hester could so totally be a number one receiver (secretly crying inside)" debates, we're now arguing how often the Bears should throw to Hester the #4 receiver while Marshall and Alshon are busy combing for 123 yds in one half.

Combing through the secondary is a pretty well-known football term. Had something to do with Jerry Rice's luxurious mane. None of this may be true.

If you have a player with Hester's ability to move and you don't try to get the ball in his hands on offense, you're doing something wrong. Now that the kickoffs are moved up, I really don't care who they put back there to watch it sail into the seats. And most teams punt away from Devin, or at least try. So, you've got a guy with that kind of ability and you leave it up to the other team to decide how many touches he gets in a game?

Fuck you. I don't like you.

Could be the problem was a lack of talent on offense that kept them from doing anything all that well in the passing game, or a lack of coaching from Turner, Martz et al. Could be that's all fixed now. We'll see how it plays out, won't we, smart guys?

Putting Hester out there with Bennett and Marshall and Jeffrey and Forte will create a coverage nightmare for anyone, but to think that Hester should be more than a situational receiver if it is at the expense of him returning kicks is wrong.

I suppose it could be all Dave Toub's kickoff and punt return packages and as long as you have someone who won't trip over his own feet you'll have a return threat. It's possible. But sure, let's see how it all plays out.

Didn't Johnny Knox make the pro bowl as a KR and didn't Danielle Manning lead the league in average returns? Yesir. That's not to say that it's all Toub's system, but they brought in a talented guy in Weems to do that. I'm not in favor of making him more than a situational receiver but injuries may cause that to happen. I'm convinced he's going to be very good at it in a limited role this year and I can't wait to start a thread tearing you all apart, getting real personal and out of line.

I wasn't being sarcastic with my remark about Toub because of Knox and Manning. Anyway, I hope Hester turns into a productive WR, but if I can't see him return kicks I'll be very sad.

I'm glad we now have two different threads (both started by Apex) to talk about the Bears #4 WR.

He's the all-time leader in kick return touchdowns. He's worth a thread or two or three.

Deadspin's Drew Magary is doing a series tearing apart each NFL team.  Most of the articles have been overdone.  But today's critique of the Bears, in my opinion, is pretty accurate.

http://deadspin.com/5935713/why-your-team-sucks-2012-chicago-bears

And now, Magary, a Vikings fan has gotten to the Packers:

QuotePackers fans are the Trekkies of the NFL. Fat. Slovenly. Unjustifiably arrogant. When you celebrate the Packers, you're celebrating a group of people who never had the intellect or courage to leave Green Bay and actually go DO something with their lives. You're celebrating the likes of Vince Lombardi, who was Nick Saban with bad teeth—a precursor to the modern, powermad, dumbfuck football coaches of today. You're celebrating a group of people who lack the self-awareness to know just what it means to walk around with a cheese block on your head. Do you know how stupid that looks? Do you have ANY self-respect? I went to Milwaukee earlier this year and virtually every Milwaukee resident I met DESPISED the Packers fans from Green Bay, because they didn't want their state represented by a group of fat disgusting mouthbreathing rednecks.

And yes, I am jealous. My team never wins jack shit, and somehow the football Gods smile upon THESE idiots? Ridiculous. The fact that Packers fans are allowed to be happy is proof that God doesn't exist and that this universe is a cold, black, random place that cares little for the travails of mankind.

So Urlacher went to Germany to get some mastodon blood injected into his knee. How does this affect Hester's push for 3,000 career receiving yards?

Bears are supposedly cutting Josh McCown and bringing back Amobi Okoye, among other moves. I like carrying just 2 QBs. If you get to that 3rd guy you're fucked anyway, so you can just bring in some street Donovan McNabb to play out the miserable, depressing stretch. Also, big positive for bringing back Amobi. He and Melton make a great tandem. SK Jensen says they're keeping Cheta Ozougwu at DE, meaning there's a decent chance Corey Wootton is gone.

Bears are supposedly cutting Josh McCown and bringing back Amobi Okoye, among other moves. I like carrying just 2 QBs. If you get to that 3rd guy you're fucked anyway, so you can just bring in some street Donovan McNabb to play out the miserable, depressing stretch. Also, big positive for bringing back Amobi. He and Melton make a great tandem. SK Jensen says they're keeping Cheta Ozougwu at DE, meaning there's a decent chance Corey Wootton is gone.

Woops. Sorry to get everyone all misty eyed. Turns out Wootton's probably getting a reprieve, but meatball hero Tyler Clutts is gone.

Not possible.  You couldn't be wrong about something about Bears football.

Better get your Sanzenbacher jerseys before they sell out.
