(No Ratings Yet)Post-practice: Sunday (BearTalk)
Posted August 17, 2008 at 8:17 pmThe Bears held a long full-pad workout tonight, putting the finishing touches on the second week of camp. Technically, there is still one week left.

The highlight of Sunday’s practice was the red zone [...]

Posted August 13, 2008 at 2:51 pmBelieve it or not, we’re halfway through training camp. Here’s what has stood out during the first 10 days:
–Nothing has been decided at quarterback, although Nate Longshore probably has a slight edge at this moment. Longshore has completed more passes and made fewer mistakes during 11-on-11 drills so far. That being said, Kevin Riley is [...]

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 24, 2008 at 10:22 amThe pre-game Storyline:
The biggest game of the season in the Pac-10 so far, Cal vs. Oregon would determine the front-runner to challenge USC for the conference championship. With Cal ranked #6 and Oregon ranked #11, it was considered a very even matchup once the home field advantage was taken into account. The game [...]

Posted July 7, 2008 at 11:51 amThe pre-game Storyline:
After getting redemption against Tennessee the now number 10 in the AP poll Bears look to roll versus a weak Colorado State. Would the high altitude and the road trip get the Bears to overlook the Rams? Most people didn’t think so.
The pre-game reality:
The Bears were clicking on offense after their [...]

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 23, 2008 at 10:46 pmCal’s offense had one of its better practices of the spring, as quarterback Kevin Riley had one his best sessions in a while, as did the Bears’ receivers.
Riley looked more confident during the two-minute drill near the beginning of practice, dealing with the defense’s pass rush to complete short passes to Nyan Boateng and Tad [...]

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

The Bears went a little shorter than usual Friday because they have a morning practice on Saturday. Most of their practice focused on fundamentals and going through plays, with only a brief session of 11-on-11 near the end of the session.
Some formerly injured players – linebackers Zack Follett [...]

Cal’s defense forced a few fumbles and picked off a few passes during crossover, when the offense goes head-to-head with the defense. In general, Nate Longshore had a better day [...]
