Rappaport makes up stuff out of whole cloth sometimes. If a report is coming from Rappaport and no one else, I don't believe it.

He can be the best leader since Napoleon but all that really matters is if he can take on a lineman coming at him in anger, shed him, and stick a RB at full steam somewhere near the LOS. I dont know how we get any idea of that until we seem him in game action.flapgreen said:

Any homers hearing/seeing anything about Jeremy Langford thus far in training camp?

I haven't heard much on the radio yet. So far just speculation as to what his role will be this year. Really not a whole lot of news coming from training camp in general in Chicago.

Jared Allen a notable starter in #Bears' first (unofficial) depth chart of season http://t.co/0DnmR77Msthttp://t.co/wzLq2aOrrt
I hope Allen can play a lot this year. My favorite type of football player. Does it the right way.

I'm more interested in the percentage of snaps that he gets. I know his age is a concern and he's determined to rebound from last season, but I have to think Fangio wants to ensure he's not worn down by the season and snaps. Given that they appear to have a lot of linebacking options (none may be particularly great), there will be a lot of different looks with Young, Allen, Houston and McPhee from the edge.

I've been listening to 670 The Score all morning and I haven't heard anything too bad yet. The staff is making it sound like it's nothing to worry about. Brad Biggs was saying how he's seen players with a boot on for one day and then back in action the next. So as of now he's just day to day.

[SIZE=120%]Bears | Alshon Jeffery has calf strain[/SIZE] (Fri Aug 14, 12:18 AM) - Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (calf) is in a walking boot and on crutches after straining a calf muscle, and head coach John Fox said Thursday, Aug. 13, that Jeffery is day-to-day.
Our View: This most certainly does not sound like a day-to-day injury. While there's no reason to assume Week 1 is in danger for Jeffery yet, it's within the realm of possibilities, as is us having to draft Jeffery without seeing him test the injury during the preseason. Leg injuries can be nagging issues for receivers, so it's rational to move Jeffery down to the bottom of the tier you had him in until we get more positive news on this injury. The Bears have been vague about Kevin White's shin injury, so we may not get much clarity on Jeffery's condition before the season if he doesn't take the field or practice soon.

Dr. Jene's take is min 10-14 days. My question would be, does a walking boot do any harm? Like say it's really day-to-day, but you'd rather it be wrapped in bubble wrap...

And so it begins. Unlike last year my expectations aren't nearly as lofty as a strong playoff push. If this turns out to be Cutler's last year on Chicago's roster IMO the 2015 season will be a success. I haven't been this uninspired for a Bears season to start in over 40 years. Call me flapgreen.

Our first team D looks like they are stuck in molasses and couldn't get past their O-line, while our O-line always seems to resemble a sieve.
Keep expectations low, it's easier on the mind. I predicted 6-10 when the schedule came out and am now thinking that's optimistic.
Meredith kid looked good. McManis looked good. Perry was a surprise. Everybody else was meh.

I think Flap is pretty excited for a new era.
I lean toward your side. Mostly because of Cutler.

This is not going to be a good team this year. Finishing 8-8 would be a great year for this team. The D has a lot of work to do but it's going to be hard because they just don't have the talent there. The offense needs to carry this team and can since it has plenty of talent but for some reason it can't get out of it's own way.

Because he drafted him. Top 10 pick already missing his rookie season.How is this Pace's fault?
Cutler sucks so maybe the lack of picks in training camp just means our defense sucks even more than we thought
The Tick

You can't fault them for that. I would have loved to get that guy the jaguars got and he's gone for the year with an ACL. Unless it's a chris Williams case where everyone else thought he had a bad back but we too him anyways, and oh, he did. Can't put fault on mgmt. for injuries.Because he drafted him. Top 10 pick already missing his rookie season.How is this Pace's fault?
