Posted August 16, 2008 at 9:31 pmThe Bears had another double-day session today, working out in full pads in the morning and just helmets in shoulder pads in the afternoon.

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 5, 2008 at 10:03 pmMonday may have been the first day of practice, but Tuesday was the first day the Bears really sunk their teeth into a lot of things. Cal eased into things Monday with mostly individual drills. Tuesday, there was much more 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 action, as well as a couple of special teams periods.
Highlights included:
–The beginning [...]

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 …

Andy Staples (who?) at SI.com named Covaughn DeBoskie as an impact early entry.
Stewart Mandel published his Spring Top 25. Our Golden Bears check in at…well, they don’t check in at all. That’s just a little depressing.
Boom goes the dynamite! Tasteless? Too soon?
