AtHomeBoy_2000 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 The Score just said the Bears signed a free agent rookie running back. Take that for what you will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEASTHART Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 sorry about the double post (well now triple post) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixote Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 any word on who it is??? All it was is signing a RB who was in camp as a tryout player. I am certain, IMO, it has nothing to do with the recent relevations about Benson. Roster addition: Williams apparently wasn't the only player who impressed coaches over the weekend. On Monday, the Bears signed Massachusetts running back Matt Lawrence, a 6-1, 210-pounder who participated in the rookie minicamp on a tryout basis.

sprout Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 any word on who it is??? Some more info from the Sun times Bears sign RB Lawrence to roster Did it have something to do with the weekend trouble Cedric Benson got himself in? The Bears wouldn’t say if it did. But the club added a running back Monday, signing Matt Lawrence, the undrafted free agent from UMass who participated in the rookie minicamp this weekend on a tryout basis. The 6-1, 210-pounder transferred to he I-AA school from Connecticut. He started 13 games last season, rushing for 1,585 yards and 16 touchdowns. Lawrence moves well, has good quickness and showed he can be a contributor in special teams over the weekend. That brings to six the number of backs the Bears have on the roster. He joins Benson, Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson, Garrett Wolfe and P.J. Pope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoofHearted Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 To answer the original question. No, it means we are doing what every team should... bringing as many warm bodies at RB into camp as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChileBear Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 To answer the original question. No, it means we are doing what every team should... bringing as many warm bodies at RB into camp as possible. Says he has speed and can contribute on STs. That seems to fit Lovie's profile. And I forgot about Pope still being there for TC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkerBear7 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Lawrence looks pretty good albiet not against top talent -- check this out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZEmdqcL8tw I do like that he and Forte bring some size to the position. Note that Lawrence wore #32 in college........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
