Gotcha, Thanks!

Prophet beat you to it, but I wouldn't be surprised fi we did not need another before the draft. I will let you know if another opening comes up.

They were just talking about him during the game. They were saying it was not serious. That there were reports of a back problem before the draft but he was healthy when drafted and Williams never missed one practice or game with any injury his 3 years as a starter at LOT in college. I am not saying the report is incorrect, just saying there are conflicting reports.

Have to keep reminding myself, 1st preseason game, do not take it too serious, look at individual performances, not team success, it is just live practice, not to worry, not to worry, repeat after me, not to worry, LOL

If that happens the 2nd time the Chiefs get the ball, then I will begin to worry a "little" I never count much on performance in preseason. How many times do you see a team in the preseason win all their games and wind up selecting 1st in the draft at the end of the season? Happens more often than you might think.

Well they have to do something if Williams can't get back in time to be a starter week 1. Tough call. I would like to see St Clair at LOG where I think he can be an excellent player. I never did like him at OT last year when he played. He did an excellent job at OG. We'll have to wait and see.

1st set of series in 1st preseason game, I am not worried yet.

Pennington, IF AND WHEN HEALTHY, is a significant upgrade over Kyle or Rex. The question is how is his health? It has been said he is completely recovered for this year. Is he totally healthy? If so, get him, if not, forget him.

An opening has come up in TalkBears FFL #3 I posted this in the TalkBears Fantasy Forum and thought I would throw it out here also. Anyone interested? League drafts Friday August 22 at 8:30 PM FREE - NO ENTRY FEE Email me at j.w.sheridan@comcast.net if interested or respond to this post and I will send you a private message with signup instructions. Probably easier if you email me so I can send an invite direct from Yahoo. You would be competing against: Sulster NeoBear Buzzman Bowlingtwig LT2_3 Nfolingo Titon34 MadLithuanian Pixote

The main thing I DO NOT want to see in this game................. INJURIES! That would be my main concern.

I hear ya, it's time for FOOTBALL!

Ok, I will look to replace you in the league. Go ahead and exit the league so I can have someone join. Anyone interested?

Killer team! Very strong in all positions!

I am showing on my Comcast TV Guide that the Bears game is going to show in my area on CBS (locally on comcast that is channel 5 WIFR) at 19:00. ESPN is airing NOS @ ARI I am sure NFL network will air it eventually, just not sure when.

We might be surprised. I remember Lovie saying earlier that some position starters may play more extensively in preseason games than what they have in the past to give the staff a better chance to evaluate them. Of course, we know how much we can believe "coach speak" in preseason, LOL.

Maybe with this coupled with Williams' back it will force JA to do as we all hoped and go out to the FA market ant pick up a LOG. I agree with many here, is Bentley Healthy? Is R Brown Healthy? I'd be happy with either one IF HEALTHY!

I would think with all the key positions on defense that we have in place, signed, and with good depth, that we will start seeing more and more offensive skill players and OLmen drafted in the future. This is obviously where we need to concentrate the next few drafts. IMO

Otah was never considered a LOT prospect, everyone was saying he would be a ROT. We needed LOT. He is currently working at ROT after having to sit out the mini camps with an ankle injury. It is hard to say, maybe he could have moved to LOT. Just never heard anyone say they thought he could do it. Now Branden Albert was a considered by many the guy we should have taken, saying he had all the skills needed to eventually become a starting LOT. However, if you check this out, you will find he is also out with an injury and may miss the entire remainder of training camp. Injured Albert could miss the rest of camp So I guess we just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope Williams gets back soon.

Seems like we are snake bit. The last time we drafted an OT in the first he was injured and never returned, finally leaving with an injury settlement and later resurfacing in Dallas. Let's hope he gets back soon.

Talk about a distraction for the team, this is about as bad a mess as I have seen. Favre is the guilty guy, he has retired and unretired so many times I can not blame Thompson for giving up on the guy. If he really wanted to screw up his public image, he is doing an excellent job of it.

Your killing me with this question. I am a big Mike Brown fan. I am a big Urlacher fan. I am a big Hester fan. I am a big T Harris fan. Those would be my top 4 Bears players. I am not sure if I can pick one over the other. I had a hard time trimming my list to 4, LOL. I guess if I had to select one of the 4 I would go with T Harris.

Here you go - I updated it a bit: TalkBears Chat Room The old site for Bearstalk has been completely trashed. The link to the chat room can also be found in the drop down menues on the Pick'em site. DBDB is suppose to be adding it to this site.

Another reason I am looking forward to this Thursday. We have all been reading all the press releases and debating topics like this one. I can't wait to see what we have on the field in live action against another team. No red-shirts, strap it up and show what ya got.

Cincinnati - 10 - 6 I agree with those who have posted thus far. Palmer is solid, Rudi is dependable, they have excellent WRs, and a defense good enough to compliment the offense. They should do fine and win their division but I do not think they have the defense needed to go far in the playoffs. My guess is they never make it to the Conference final. Cleveland - 9 - 7 I disagree with the majority, I think Anderson is for real and will have another excellent year, Edwards, Stallworth, & Winslow gives him some great targets, if Lewis has problems, Jason Wright looked impressive last year. If their defense shows up at all, in the division they are in, I see no reason they are not good enough to get 9 wins. Pittsburgh - 8 - 8 They have depth at RB, but very little depth anywhere else and a lineup that is not getting any younger and has had injury problems in the recent past. I think Pittsburgh will take a fall this year. I see them starting to rebuild next year. They have to get some depth across the board and some youth. Baltimore - 3 - 13 See above for Pittsburgh and copy it over here but add the fact they do not have Big Ben at QB but will probably start a rookie, they do not have the depth at RB like Pittsburgh, and a defense that is really getting old and no where near what it was a few years ago. Their HC really sucks and shouldhave been canned years ago. New HC next year and a lot of rebuilding going to go on here for the next few years.
