Wouldn't be surprised f we go after a CB in a trade if Fullers injury gets worse

Carlos Williams was released by the bills which is really surprising. He played great in his role. I think he'd be a great pick up but he's suspended for 4 games

Paul Kruger was released by the Browns. He was pretty god before he went there maybe he can regain his former self with a coach like Fangio

On McPhee:

"Just the physical mentality that he brings to the game. It's been a grind since his first day out. He's been busting his tail and that's a credit to him because to bounce back from what used to be a career-ending injury is a challenge."

OK, so we know he had a sore knee last year. And then he had surgery. To me that spells a cartilage repair of some sort. Then we have the above quote from Willie Young: "bounce back from what used to be a career-ending injury". A cartilage repair of some sort, that being what used to be, "career ending". Connecting the dots, this sounds like he had a microfracture procedure during that surgery. Not good. They are talking about starting him out on the PUP list.

I'm thinking him and Carey will be our 2 best backs this year.

Oh yeah he was awesome and its preseason of course but the physicality he brings to running game is something this team needs badly.

I'd like to see what Langford can do playing full games and getting into a rhythm. If he's disappointing I'm all for starting Howard

Ravens just cut Justin Forsett. Maybe the bears should take a look at him?

Just watched the game. The OC just pounded away with him, play after play, and he delivered. He sees the holes and moved forward. And you can tell when he comes in the line knows it is time to plow the meadow. Linemen like to play like that, they get in sync, and can feel the beat.

Bausby had a good game I thought, and he is a tall corner, but the Bears cut him. They still have Calhoun for now.

patryk7754 · Post #16 » by **patryk7754** » Sat Sep 3, 2016 8:25 pm

Manny Lawson was also cut. With McPhees injury more serious than previously thought maybe the bears should take a look at him

Post #17 » by **RedBulls23** » Sat Sep 3, 2016 8:55 pm

Kyle Long extended to a 4 year 40 million deal, with 30 mil guaranteed.

The Packers just released pro bowl offensive lineman Josh Sitton. We should pick him up.

Did something happen? He's been an elite player basically every year of his career including last season

Makes you wonder. He hasn't missed a start since 2011.

Bears should give him a call for sure. For once maybe the Bears can take a packer and benefit.
