Training Camp kicks off in Bourbonnais this week and there are a few position battles that are important to watch for during camp and preseason. A few on the defensive side of the ball which struggled last year, but now a revamped defense is ready to take the step the Bears offense took in improving. Safety One of the biggest struggles came from both safety positions and going into camp, the battles seem to ...

Bears I've paid as little attention as possible to the Chris Kluwe situation because in all liklihood, neither side will turn out to be in the right. Kluwe sounds, and has always sounded, like he's a little less than balanced and the Vikings never seem to handle anything right. But I did find this aspect of the report on whether Kluwe was let go do to his views on gay marriage to be interesting. From Scott ...

Training Camp is officially here for the Chicago Bears as some players reported to Bourbonnais today to get ready for the first practice on Friday. General Manager Phil Emery and Head Coach Marc Trestman held a press conference to open up the 2014 season. Here are some of the highlights: Kyle Long injury One of the biggest pieces of news came when Emery announced that offensive lineman Kyle Long suffered a ...

The Chicago Bears revamped defense will also include a position battle at two linebacking spots. An area where they struggled last season, allowing running backs to get into the secondary and do damage. But this year it's a new Bears team and a new look at the linebacking core that is manned down by veteran Lance Briggs. While Briggs will be at the weakside, the Bears are still opening up the strongside and ...

One of the Chicago Bears most dangerous offensive weapons is arguably running back Matt Forte. The 6-foot-2, 218 pound back is the perfect fit for Marc Trestman's offensive system, as we saw last season. The Bears rely heavily on Matt Forte as he logged 363 touches last season, the most since his rookie season. So having a productive option behind him will be nice to have for the Bears. They let Michael Bus ...

In the first day of our Training Camp primer we also take our first look at the Chicago Bears defense, which got a new look this off-season especially in the secondary. The Bears safeties were some of the worst in the NFL and struggled for the majority of the season. Major Wright is gone, Chris Conte is still here and the Bears have brought in a few guys via free agency and the NFL Draft. The positions seem ...

The quarterback is the most important position on any NFL team, but for the Chicago Bears it is more than just important. It's critical to their success in the second year of a new offensive system. The Bears new look offense set a few records last season and finished as the second-highest scoring team points per game wise in the NFL. One thing that we likely won't have to hear about is the quarterback cont ...

Bears Dan Wiederer at the Chicago Tribune interviews Bears head coach Mark Trestman. Its pretty evident that Trestman is reticent about talking relationships with individual players. But ask him about team building and you get a soliloquy. I thought this section was particularly interesting: "And when we play on Sundays, if the talent is the same throughout the league — which it arguably is — which games ar ...

It's not everyday you get to play pickup football with a NFL star. But some lucky fans got that chance when Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall stopped by a park to play a game of pickup football. Marshall has become a fan favorite ever since he was traded to Chicago. This is another example why. Kudos Brandon. http://instagram.com/p/qkmcZJotIt ...
