Posted August 12, 2008 at 9:59 pmAn out-of-town writer stopped by practice today and wanted to know about — surprise — the quarterbacks. Coach Jeff Tedford didn’t break much news, but he did seem to imply that he wouldn’t wait until the first week of the season to name a quarterback if one of them earned it.

Posted August 7, 2008 at 11:31 pmThe primary storyline to Thursday’s practice was quarterback Kevin Riley being given the opportunity to work exclusively with the first team. Working on the hurry-up offense with full squads, Riley’s first pass was a 30-yard completion to Michael Calvin on a wheel pattern down the left sideline.
The sophomore signal-caller had his ups and downs during Thursday’s workout. His nicest pass [...]

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 …

As the Bears do often at practice, they practice the two-minute drill near the beginning. The first two [...]
