Much appreciated Ashkum! I'm glad my posts come across that way and not as a bunch of mumbo jumbo lol. Passion is a word that they used in reply to my email as well so my long dragged out views aren't all for naught I guess lol. I absolutely had Jason in mind when posting this. I'm just glad his view on them didn't detour me away from the site lol it only made me wanna go back for more. I'm now a semi pro rugby player and a semi pro analyst...You can just call me Jackie Moon lol =p

And ironically it will be doing the same thing that I did for you to tell me to get a job lol. So I'll still be spending countless hours watching film...It's just "interning" for awhile then if they like me it turns into a job. So I won't be getting paid just yet. Still gonna be looking for a real job though.

No one, I just thought it was ironic that after all the crap I've got here for referring to PFF that now I'm basically gonna be interning for PFF. Really something that should be put in a catch all thread since there's no bears news but there's no such thread here.

Looks like this guy might be doing some volunteer work at PFF lol Just gotta hope I can come up with 25 dollars to buy an NFL rewind subscription. This site really needs a catch all thread, I feel dirty posting this in a new thread but I thought it was fantastic news and something Jason would love to hear. Gonna piss a lot of people off by there being no real news here lol

It's possible, I think he'd be an OLB in a 4-3 though and I really wouldn't wanna draft an OLB in the first round. That you can find in the later rounds.....I'm more interested in how his teammate Ogletree did? Wait a tick....looking at some scouting reports looks like he's capable of playing MLB in a 4-3....Sign me up...him, Ogletree, Minter, or Brown would all be good picks at 20 if Warmack or Cooper are gone

Thanks Adam

To your credit stinger i still don't know how to hyperlink like Adam just did. Haven't really put forth the effort to learn it though. Baltimore still in there eh? They've lost so much that I'd probably put them lower on that list. Top 3 is hard to debate. The Pats probably don't skip much of a beat with Amendola replacing Welker though I may have GB ahead of them. I'd probably go Sea-Den-SF-GB-ATL-Chi-NE-Bal-Hou-NYG.....If RG3 isn't playing next year I'd replace them with houston.

lol ya man copy and paste the link....who are the other 2 teams? New England and Houston?

C'mon man you've had a computer for 4+ years and you still don't know how to copy paste lol. I'm interested in seeing who 1-6 are. Seattle, San Fran, Denver, ATL, Green Bay, ?, ?.

Highly doubt it. Marshall needs to get in his head about shaping up while they're down in Florida training together.

They're obviously working on a tight budget with Urlacher and now this. Maneri from what I read is probably on the level or a notch below Spaeth as far as blocking goes.

Just for Jason and shits and giggles....PFF had him rated as the worst LB on the market. But to one of your other points he did rate out good vs the pass while he was rated out last in the league vs the run. You also bring up his tackle #s Roach was on pace to have 23 more tackles than Brian over his time at MLB...MLBs in the the bears defense rack up a lot of tackles no matter who is there. To #3 we have a new defensive coach in here, the calls won't be the same anyway. #4- I don't see how drafting a high LB is a problem...The only major needs we have are MLB and LG IMO and chances are they can address those both 1 and 2. #5 Soldier field will still be sold out ever game so no it doesn't matter. #6 That 1 mill could make a big difference, they could have a plan set out that paying him an extra mill would "ruin" the plan. Theres a doctor over on soxtalk that said with the type of surgeries Brian has had he'll never be the same....From a sentimental standpoint is sucks yes, but from a business standpoint i have no problem with it.

Captain Munnerlyn ‏@captain_41 3m It's officially I'm staying a Carolina Panthers !!!!!!! Lets get it

Sad to see him go but I reckon it's time to move on. Defense has to get younger at some point and I'd say now is the time.

I know we're off the subject now but I just wanted to point out that Ray Lewis had 51 tackles in 4 games during the postseason....A postseason record. Back to the subject at hand, sounds like Trestman wants 54 at OLB if anywhere at all. That could work. Grab an Ogletree or a Brown in the first and we're set for the year at LB.

Kevin Seifert ‏@espn_nfcnblog Was at Trestman's table when asked about read option. Never heard him say Cutler would run it. Said it would be in playbook. Big difference. Maybe that means we run a "Wildcat" package? It also doesn't necessarily mean Cutler won't run it....If it's a wildcat package bring on Josh Johnson.

Jeff Dickerson ‏@ESPNChiBears 10m Filed to ESPNChicago: #Bears agree to terms on one-year deal with DE Turk McBride, per a league source. Had a decent year in Detroit 2 years ago, did nothing in Nola.

Saints used it a bit in the 2 games I watched, and they also lined the OT up as a FB, but I certainly wouldn't use a 1st round DP on a situational extra OT. The loser of Webb/Carimi could fill that void.

If we can't sign an LB in FA or bring back Urlacher we kinda have to take 2 LBs in the draft. It'd be nice if we can grab 1 of the LBs in FA so we can maybe go with Schwenke in the 4th. It would offer a lot of depth up and down the line. A RT battle between Webb/Carimi/Brown, RG battle between Louis?/Carimi/Garza/Brown, OC battle between Schwenke/Garza, LG battle between an early DP/Garza/Brown, and LT is probably a given....Some combination of all that should be a tolerant OL.

Ha, you're avoiding them while I've pretty much got 3 in the same thread lol.....I wouldn't mind a speed WR at all, it's a sexy pick but with other pressing needs like LG and LB I would wanna grab those early over a situational WR....DE was a more pressing need than a speed WR is this year. I still think Hester if used properly can be that guy to blow the top off a defense. No screen pass bullshit just straight up simple patterns that call for him to go down the field and stretch the defense. With him not being cut he very well could be used in that role.....Marshall and Jeffery have big deep ball potential while the Bennetts work the middle and our backs work the underneath. It's a solid WCO plan IMO.

Since I'm bored I'll do a trading down version of my march draft using the latest WF mock that I mentioned above and use a trade down with the Jags to get #33 and #64. #33 Larry Warford OG KY- Another man crush of mine. Saw 2 possessions he was in on at the Senior Bowl and saw all I needed to see. From what little I've seen of both Bushrod and Warford I think they would be dynamite in the run game, both very active. #50 Jaime Collins LB SO Miss- Yes, yet another prospect I've become obsessed with, mainly because I wanna see if I'm right about him....He's been labeled as a OLB/DE but his experience as a former CB (in college, what he was scouted for) leads me to think he could be molded into a dynamite MLB in this system. If they ever make the switch to a 3-4 somewhere down the line him and SMC on the corners would be incredible. #64 D.J. Hayden CB Houston- Yes, you read that correctly, not D.J. Moore or Kelvin Hayden...D.J. Hayden. And he's got medical concerns so he sounds perfect for the Bears. Seriously though this kid defied a lot of odds just to be alive and all the reports I've read on him say he has checked out medically and will be a pretty good ball player. #117 Zaviar Gooden OLB Mizzu- Sticking with their pick here since I like it so much. I'd be hesitant to start 2 rookie LBs but with Briggs still on the team he brings that veteran leadership to help the rooks along. Gooden played some MLB at Mizzu as well so if Collins doesn't work at MLB Gooden can play the position...Another former safety. ---Alternate pick if we can snag an LB in FA...Brian Schwenke...Garza has been one of the worst OCs in the league the last 2 years, it's time for a change...Madsen or Cave in the 6th if we can't grab an LB. #153 Kwame Geathers DT Georgia- Yep I'm getting all my guys here in this draft. Geathers gives them a monster NT to back up Paea and it takes another step towards a 3-4 defense which I'm also so infatuated with. Geathers demands a double team against most teams and that causes a problem when you have Melton and Peppers who could also demand a DT. Pick 6- WF is only going 5 rounds so I'm just gonna take a stab at Braxton Cave or Joe Madsen being there in the 6th. Like I said before, Garza hasn't been that great at all and one of these 2 at the very least would offer competition and maybe light a fire under Garzas ass to perform better. I believe the Jags trade would give us another 6th or 7th as well...That's where you grab your speedy WR....Shot in the dark I'll say Jasper Collins out of Mount Union. Small school but it has recently produced Cecil Shorts and Pierre Garcon. Collins was more productive than Garcon with 232 Rec for 3,527 yards and 37 TDs in his 4 years there. He also returned 3 punts for TDs. Tuesdays always suck unless theres a bulls game on so I did all that outta pure boredom.

I don't like to make a new thread for every new mock draft so I'll just post it here ...New WF mock came out today with Arthur Brown/Stedman Bailey/Zaviar Gooden/Brian Winters...... Interesting that they have us taking Brown with Ogletree still on the board. I like Brown and think he's a first round talent but I have Ogletree being the better player so Id switch the 2. Stedman Bailey would be a pretty sexy pick but I'd rather not wait until the 5th to address LG (unless Kromer likes Brown at LG)....I'd go Kyle Long or Dallas Thomas here. Long is the "next best" guard prospect taken in the draft but I personally like Thomas better...Either pick will do though. Would love to get Zaviar Gooden in the 4th, that'd be incredible. If we can't resign 54 or sign one in FA then coming out of the draft with Ogletree AND Gooden would make me a happy panda. I switched the pick in round 2 to grab a OG so I'll switch Winters to a guy the Bears talked to today, Miami CB Brandon Mcgee......I've got a huge (and I mean huge because he's a huge man) man crush on Kwame Geathers so I debated him here but with Mcgee there in the 5th he'd probably be the pick. So in review I'd switch their picks to Ogletree/Thomas/Gooden/Mcgee then grab a huge NT or a fast WR in the 6th. BTW we need some damn news it's boring around here lol.

I kinda doubt they move away from consistently giving him LG help so we won't be able to tell whether he's good regardless. The only thing that will tell us how he has improved is when they don't give him double team help, will he be able to hold his ground or will he continue to get beat? If he woulda came here with Tice still running the line then we'd be able tell more about his progression....Luckily we dont.

Could see some things happen by the end of the week????

That's true, and I'm hearing this Maneri fellow is pretty damn good in run blocking as well. Former college OT....But so was Brody Eldridge and is probably even cheaper.
