We have focused a lot on safeties and offensive guards in the past. Now, we should take a look at some of the other needs the Chicago Bears have heading into the 2010 NFL Draft.  The release of cornerback Nathan Vasher, although probably more of a good move than a bad one, has left a little bit of a hole in Chicago’s secondary—in particular, at the cornerback position—and something will have to ...

If you watched the recent NFL Scouting Combine, you may have seen a guy at the linebacker position that stood out among the rest of the group.  Not only did he stand out because he dressed in white Under Armour pants and shirt but because he had a positive attitude during the event and was noticed throughout the entire process.  He has really made a name for himself. On the upside, ...

Things are definitely looking up in Chicago. The Bears have gone through the initial part of the free agency period very well, having signed three players that will help them get to where they want to be on both sides of the ball.  However, the Bears still have some holes to fill, particularly at safety and on the offensive line.  They may also still want to look at upgrading the wide receiver ...

As they went into the 2009 season, there was a lot of concern about how the Bears' offensive line would perform. At tackle, Jon Tait had retired and there was no clear cut starter to take his place. At guard, the Bears still had the ever reliable but aging Roberto Garza in one spot and the untested Josh Beekman at another.  This spelled trouble for the line. The Bears grabbed former Carolina ...

The Bears signing of former Minnesota Vikings running back Chester Taylor brings Chicago into a new era that era being a two-back running game.  Chicago has used a single back rushing attack forever and now they are doing what a lot of teams in the NFL are doing and now they may end up featuring two running backs in their offense.  They are able of doing this now ...

Last week’s acquisition of Julius Peppers was a big one for the Bears in many ways.  First, it brought in a good pass rusher, helping out what has been a huge problem for the Bears. Second, it will help take some pressure off the other players on the defensive line to rush the passer and come up with some plays that might not have been there last season. Finally, Chicago can ...

The 2010 NFL Combine is history and now teams are focusing on watching players at their Pro Days and sitting back trying to figure out what players would fit their team as they prepare for the draft. The Bears have many needs but don’t have that many draft picks, so they have to be wise with the picks that they do have.  So what players might give the Bears some interest ...

The 2010 Scouting Combine has come and gone and NFL teams have a little bit better idea of which players they might want to draft in April. The Bears donÆt have as many draft picks as other teams do (thanks to the Jay Cutler and Gaines Adams trade) so they will have to be very frugal with what they do in this draft. LetÆs take a look at ...

In a surprise move taken a few days ago, the Chicago Bears escorted Pro Personnel Director Bobby DePaul out of the building.á DePaul has had a hand in scouting players for the Bears for several years, helped to build the Bears' 2006 Super Bowl team, and has helped draft many of the Bears' current stars.á This comes as a somewhat strange move, considering that the Bears are headed into free ...

Fans, management and players alike were excited when the Bears acquired Jay Cutler in a trade from the Denver Broncos. Hopes were high that they would be able to start winning games right away in 2009.á It was not meant to be however as both the quarterback and the rest of the team faltered and failed to do a lot of the important things that it takes to win a game. There ...
