Pending Questions as Bears Enter OTAs

Pending Questions as Bears Enter OTAs
I’m back. I’m not thrilled about it but I am back and returning to my daily duties. The Bears begins OTAs tomorrow and while not much drama/news is expected to emerge over the three sessions taking place between now and the seventh of June, there are still questions to be answered when it comes to...

Dearest Readers, Friends & Jerks, DaBearsBlog will be on vacation until May 20th. I and my lady shall be venturing to Ireland for a time. (I’m assuming you’d prefer me not update this website with hurling results or preview columns for Ireland’s campaign in Euro 2012 this summer.) Should anything of note break in Bearsland...

Audibles From the Long Snapper: On the Offensive Line, Rashaan Salaam and other stuff...
BECAUSE I KEEP BEING EMAILED/ASKED ABOUT IT…  J’Marcus Webb is going to be the starter at left tackle for the Bears in 2012. Right or wrong decision I have continually cited Mike Tice’s comments on the position as my rationale for the belief. Brad Biggs did a nice job digging up the quotes for his... Read more »

Emery's Risk/Reward Draft Selections to Slide Under Microscope in Bourbonnais

Emery's Risk/Reward Draft Selections to Slide Under Microscope in Bourbonnais
There were safer picks than Boise State’s Shea McClellin available with the nineteenth selection of the 2012 NFL Draft. Illinois’ Whitney Mercilus and Syracuse’s Chandler Jones both seemed logical choices to put their hands on the ground as 4-3 edge rushers in Lovie Smith’s system but Phil Emery and the folks at Halas Hall instead...

Bears Final Pick of the 2012 NFL Draft: CB Greg McCoy (TCU)

Thumbnail image for 'Bears Final Pick of the 2012 NFL Draft: CB Greg McCoy (TCU)'
Well this report sure doesn’t make it sound like he’s making a professional football team. But who the hell knows in the 7th round. In this video I kind of liked him. (Motherfucker can sing!) From PFW: Undersized cornerback whose biggest impact will be on special teams — gained 30.6 yards per return on kickoffs... Read more »

Bears Select CB Isaiah Frey (Nevada Reno) in Sixth Round

Thumbnail image for 'Bears Select CB Isaiah Frey (Nevada Reno) in Sixth Round'
The video posted here are Frey’s high school highlights. Why not? From National Football Post: A taller corner with good size and overall length for the position. Possesses average bend when asked to sit into his stance and when asked to turn and run does a decent job keeping his pad level down and cleanly... Read more »

Bears Select Temple FB/TE Evan Rodriguez in Fourth Round

Thumbnail image for 'Bears Select Temple FB/TE Evan Rodriguez in Fourth Round'
Talk about a selection that signals the offensive philosophy change. If Rodriguez makes the team he will most likely take Tyler Clutts’ roster spot. He can line up at fullback, tight end, H-back…etc. He’s a versatile talent but an unconventional type player. I will hopefully have more to say by the end of the weekend... Read more »

Questions Heading into NFL Draft Saturday

Questions Heading into NFL Draft Saturday
Q: Will the Bears look at the quarterback position on day three of the NFL draft? I think it would be fascinating if Kirk Cousins is still on the board when the Bears pick in the fourth round. Cousins is not a special-type quarterback but he reminds some folks, including me, of Jon Kitna. With... Read more »

Bears Select Oregon State Safety Brandon Hardin

From PFW: Positives: Excellent size and athletic ability. Has played corner and safety and has extensive experience locked in man coverage. Good balance, hip flex, change of direction and body control for his size. Can turn and run vertical. Zone-aware. Supports the run aggressively. Heavy hitter. Plays with awareness and football intelligence. Has the traits... Read more »

The Bears have added the complementary weapon for Brandon Marshall they desired. Big man. Terrific red zone threat for Cutler. Bears will have an exciting offense this year, folks. Enjoy the video.
