Offense still a work in progress, Cutler sacked on 3rd down on back to back drives.

Callahan redeems himself with a defended pass that gets intercepted by Freeman. Trevathan also with a huge hit on the drive as well.

Pass to Alshon for 1st Down, short pass to White, Langford run, then Cutler sacked on 3rd and short.

Defense with some ok pressure on first drive, but Callahan gets burned deep on 3rd and long for a TD with no over the top support.

Who are you most excited to see? For me it is White and the revamped defense.

per Leming:

They have some tough decision in regards to RB/FB/TE. You didn't list the FB's but they have Lasike as #1, and Young as #2. For WR's, you completely missed the 3rd string column and Thompson/Bellamy. Thompson is almost a solid lock due to returner duties. WR will probably end up being Jeffery/White/Royal/Mariani/Thompson/Bellamy/Braverman. Our front-7 looks strong. LB Corps is ridiculous. Some hard cuts coming there. How many LB's can we keep? 8? That would be McPhee, Freeman, Trevathan, Young, Houston, Floyd and 2 of Anderson/Timu/Acho/Kwiatkoski/Jones. Our secondary is crazy too.

Daniel Jeremiah named the Bears the most underrated team: http://beargoggleson.com/2016/08/08/nfl-ne...nderrated-team/

If we keep a FB, I believe it would be in place of a TE. It would be interesting to see how our running game would look with a full time FB plowing holes for the RBs. He is a TD machine, in his career he has 13 TDs on 96 touches.

Looks like he passed his physical, and with the loss of Grasu, we really need quality depth now.

Man, the national media is ridiculous. Over the past few weeks, I have heard multiple media outlets questioning Langford and the Bears rushing attack RBBC. However, I heard today (on Sirius) them talking about how Matt Jones is going to have a breakout year. That got me thinking of the comparisons between the Bears and Redskins, they both lost their veteran RB's and replaced them with younger backs both drafted in 2015. Interestingly enough, Jones was selected 11 picks before Langford. Here is their production from last year: Matt Jones 144-490, 3.4, 3 TD, 19 REC, 304 YDS, 1 TD, 4 FB Jeremy Langford 148-537, 3.6, 6 TD, 22 REC, 279 YDS, 1 TD, 0 FB Actually, they are pretty close with Langford having more rushing yards and TD's while Jones has the edge in receiving yards. The biggest difference is fumbles, where Jones lost 4 and Langford didn't even have a single fumble (Jones had 5 but lost 4). So from ESPN, to CNNSI, to PFF, to NFL Network, please tell me how Matt Jones is going to breakout, yet Langford is going to struggle (and the Bears will miss Forte)?

Marshall is truly bipolar. When he is on most interviews, he actually seems down to earth and friendly. Then he turns into this other person...pretty creepy.

To me Martellus was reinforcing his brother's statement. From reviewing games from the last few years, a bunch of INTs were thrown in Bennett's direction. How is Bennett going to take being the #2 TE and at least a 1/3 less targets? I just didn't like the comments in general. If they wanted to give an honest assessment as him as a player, go for it, but a comment like that is just smug. Those guys would be nothing if not for their physical attributes.

Tough loss, especially with the Slauson release. What about Louis Vasquez, former Bronco, current FA?

So the Bennett brothers rip Cutler and Marshall says he thinks Jay could win the MVP? What a crazy day. I can tell you I lost all respect for the Bennett's after this interview. I hope they both tear ACL's. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/1720163...ett-vs-everyone http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chica...0803-story.html

I heard that they were looking at him at NB.

I am curious to see the full terms. I like Willie, and if he can continue to produce and be a great locker room guy, this is a great deal.

http://www.si.com/nfl/2016/07/27/chicago-b...nfl-free-agency according to PFF: Chicago also signed wide receiver B.J. Daniels, which brings the roster to the 90-player maximum.

Bring him back for one game and have him take a knee and run off the field to a standing ovation and then retire.

Silatolu might have been signed because of this: https://twitter.com/BradBiggs/status/756923475479109632

He was a DB and KR/PR, so it looks like they are happy with what they have at those positions (which is a good sign).

I loved when he shutdown Moss and Megatron, my favorite play:

Borderline but probably won't get in. Not enough INTs as a CB. I believe he had more forced fumbles than INTs for his career. He definitely redefined the position with the Peanut Punch but not dominant enough for HoF.

Actually 52 players are not red, so counting practice squad and cuts, we will probably have 15-20 new players next year as well. Of all the red names, only 15 or so are actually going to be on the 53-man roster. So to me, it seems we are in a great position, with only younger players or solid veterans signed longer than a year or two. We don't really have any bad contracts left on the books going into 2017. The most dead money we would have if we needed to cut a player next year (outside of rookie deals) would be Cutler and Freeman who both have $2mil in dead money if cut. Every other veteran player could be cut for less, which is awesome. Honestly, if we are not in the playoff hunt near the deadline, I would love to move Houston, Young, and potentially Royal or Gould for draft picks. Now I understand that no one may want them, but if there was a trade market and we were not in the hunt, then the draft picks would be more valuable to us going forward.

One of my all-time favorite Bears. Sad to see another one leave the game. I wonder if the Bears will sign him to a 1-day deal to retire as a Bear?
