(No Ratings Yet)Post-practice: Tuesday (closed scrimmage) (BearTalk)
Posted August 19, 2008 at 10:09 pmIt’s amazing how much information you get when you actually have to depend on other people to give it to you.
Tuesday’s second and final scrimmage of training camp was closed to the media. Reporters were let into the stadium just as practice was winding down. I got inside just in time to see David Seawright [...]

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 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.
“It would be nice if [...]

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 August 4, 2008 at 11:53 pmTypically, the kickers and longsnappers are the first ones on the field at practice. That was true Monday for the first day of training camp, but they were joined shortly after by wide receiver Nyan Boateng.
That’s a great sign for the Bears. Cal is desperate to replace the departed production at wide receiver, and Boateng [...]

Biggest news: Projected starting left tackle Mike Tepper is out with a pectoral injury and pulled hamstring. [...]

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 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 18, 2008 at 9:47 pmFirst of all, thanks to all for all of your well-wishes. Now, back to business:
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 [...]
