(No Ratings Yet)Post-practice: Saturday (BearTalk)
Posted August 9, 2008 at 9:24 pmDon’t ever let anyone tell you practice doesn’t matter. The Bears had their first double-day Saturday, and the evening session was a lively one. It culminated with a big commotion at the end of situational action, when the offense and defense engaged in a dispute whether wide receiver Marvin Jones was inbounds after hauling down [...]

Posted August 7, 2008 at 3:33 pmTHE SYSTEM -Bob Gregory’s defenses play a style that in many ways mirrors the offensive system Jeff Tedford has in place. As on offense, it starts with the running game. Gregory wants to take away the opponent’s ability to run the ball and to do so is …

Posted July 5, 2008 at 8:26 pmWe had a question lately about our receivers, since we return all of 10 catches for 153 yards (thanks to LayReylle Cunningham, who provides all of those numbers. Yes, he is the only wide receiver on the roster with a catch in a game.). We figured that other people might be curious about our actual players in the midst of a month’s coverage on DumpyMuffs …

Posted April 26, 2008 at 9:31 pmSpring practice for 2008 came to a close this morning under a beating sun as the Bears capped off their workouts with a three-hour session that included two long stints of situational scrimmaging.

Posted April 21, 2008 at 9:28 pmThe Bears began the final week of the spring with a pretty lively practice at a frigid Memorial Stadium on Monday night. As has been the case for most of the spring, the defense has outplayed the offense.
As the Bears do often at practice, they practice the two-minute drill near the beginning. The first two [...]

Posted April 13, 2008 at 4:06 pmYesterday, Cal fans turned out a sizeable crowd for the Bears’ open practice/scrimmage. Here is a report, courtesy of GFang, who attended the event:
Quarterback
[Kevin] Riley- did not get to show off his arm too much . . . but when he threw, was very crisp and accurate with zip. He would’ve been perfect if Calvin [...]

Posted April 6, 2008 at 5:45 pmOn Friday, the offense had trouble moving the ball in the off-season’s first practice in helmets and shoulder pads. As J.Okanes reported, “neither Nate Longshore or Kevin Riley separated himself” on a day when the defense stepped up.
* Secondary
Apparently, Syd’Quan Thompson took only “minimal reps,” with cornerbacks Charles Amadi and Jesse Brooks getting in [...]

Posted April 5, 2008 at 8:07 amThe Bears held their first spring practice in shells Friday — helmets and shoulder pads — which meant they hit each other for the first time. You could tell it was something the players were looking forward to because it was a very lively practice.
The defense had a good day as the offense struggled to [...]
(No Ratings Yet)Spring practice preview: defensive backs (BearTalk)
Posted March 31, 2008 at 5:26 amThomas DeCoud was the heart of the secondary and arguably the heart of the defense, and his presence will be hard to replace next season. The likely best scenario to do so is to break up the competition at rover between Bernard Hicks and Marcus Ezeff and move Hicks to free safety. Hicks started the [...]
