If you haven’t made it out to Bourbonnais yet Kevin White Jersey , there is only one more open practice and that’s this Saturday, August 10. Camp is closed to the public on the 7th and 9th, but on Thursday the 8th, the Bears will be at Soldier Field hosting the Carolina Panthers. As we saw a year ago, head coach Matt Nagy is bound to take a cautious approach to the preseason slate, so don’t expect to see much of the starters on Thursday night.

More narrowly, it’s Nick vs. Vic.Foles vs. Fangio. Quarterback vs. defensive coordinator. And they have a history.Twice before, Foles has faced a Fangio defense. Both times, it didn’t go well for the quarterback.The first meeting came in 2014, with Foles quarterbacking the Eagles and Fangio running the 49ers defense. The final score, 26-21 Womens Dick Butkus Jersey , suggests that Foles and company were able to score some point. But the three touchdowns came from a blocked punt recovered in the end zone, an interception return for a touchdown, and a punt return for a touchdown.Foles in that game completed 21 of 43 passes (48.8 percent) for 195 yards (4.53 yards per attempt), no touchdowns, and two interceptions. Passer rating: 42.3.The next year, with Foles on the Rams and Fangio running the Chicago defense, the Bears won 37-13. Foles completed 17 of 36 (47.2 percent) for 200 yards (5.55 yards per attempt) William Perry Jersey , no touchdowns, one interception, and a passer rating of 53.0.It’s round three later today, with Foles back in Philly and Fangio still in Chicago. As Chris Simms explained earlier this week on PFT Live, Fangio’s defense will smother the underneath crossing routes that the Eagles may use in order to allow Foles to get rid of the ball quickly. Foles will therefore need to find a way to hold the ball a little longer, find a guy a little more open, and hope for the best.Yes http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-mike-ditka-jersey , the other 21 players on the field will be factors in the outcome. Fundamentally, however, the quarterback will be trying to figure out what the defense is throwing at him.Foles has figured it out consistently in the playoffs last year and late in the 2018 regular season. But this could be his biggest test yet, especially since Foles has failed twice before when facing Fangio.

and it’s time to get caught up. We got you covered on The Kist & Solak Show #73!First we talk about a Senior Bowl participant that the Draft Network mocked to the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles in their Live Draft Show. You may not know of him yet but Delaware’s Nasir Adderley has a chance to be picked as the top safety in the 2019 NFL Draft if Alabama’s Deionte Thompson’s stock falters under a microscope. I was excited to see Adderley coming into the week and included him in my list of players to keep an eye on for the Eagles.We also discuss about an intriguing small school wide receiver that is going to burn rubber at the NFL Combine http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-chris-maragos-jersey , a thick space eating interior defensive lineman, potential targets at tackle and much much more all through the lens of the first two Senior Bowl practices.We’ll be back with more Senior Bowl analysis as we begin to wrap up the week and move toward the showcase game.

I’d say that Round 3 was boring without any Eagles picks, but the evening was still way more fun than last year when they didn’t pick at all on Day 2. Howie was sure to keep both of Philly’s picks on Saturday, and are set to get back on the clock at No. 138 (Round 4) and 163 (Round 5).[UPDATE: 11:07 PM ET] The New Giants picked Oshane Ximines, DE from Old Dominion at No. 95. Not a super exciting pick, but one that should spare Dave Gettleman being the butt of a few dozen more jokes for his incredibly bad draft choices.[UPDATE: 10:56 PM ET] The Cowboys took their own Penn State alumnus at No. 90 with center Connor McGovern.And then the Vikings were on the board, and one again made a trade. That means they’ve traded picks No. 81 (Lions), 88 (Seahawks), 92 (Jets) and 93 (Ravens). So Jay Ajayi Jersey , they’ve added picks No. 102, 159, 191, 193, 204, and 217 and will be extra busy now on Saturday.[UPDATE: 10:50 PM ET] The Seahawks traded up to the No. 88 pick to take linebacker Cody Barton, sending their No. 92 and 159 picks to the Vikings.[UPDATE: 10:17 PM ET] Washington added another Buckeye at No. 78, picking wide receiver Terry McLaurin. His familiarity with Dwayne Haskins should help them both transition to the NFL a bit easier, but we’re still talking about Jay Gruden, so who knows...[UPDATE: 9:46 PM ET] Ok, so a lot has happened since the last Eagles pick: The Cowboys made their first pick of this year’s draft (Trysten Hill, DT, UCF) http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-jason-kelce-jersey , the Dolphins traded the Cardinals for Josh Rosen, and D.K. Metcalfe came off the board with the final pick of Round 2 and is heading to Seattle.[UPDATE: 9:00 PM ET] Brent Celek led the crowd in an E-A-G-L-E-S chant and announced that Philly added ANOTHER skill player, picking JJ Arcega-Whiteside, wide receiver out of Stanford. Oooohhhh I love Howie Roseman.[UPDATE: 8:45 PM ET] EAGLES ARE FINALLY ON THE CLOCK! (About time) Mike Quick made the pick for Philly and they landed running back Miles Sanders out of Penn State. This was a really, really good pick for the team who still doesn’t know whether Darren Sproles will return. Sanders had a really good combine and doesn’t have a ton of miles on his legs having played behind Saquan Barkley for a few seasons.Although, I asked him his thoughts about Wawa at the Combine and he said, being from Pittsburgh, he was a Sheetz guy... [UPDATE: 8:20 PM ET] We are now almost 1.5 hours into Round 2 and I am ALL the way over these NFL legends making picks, and also over them holding onto the picks for minutes after they are in. There are a lot of picks left, so let’s get this show on the road. Puh-lease.[UPDATE: 8:15 PM ET] The Patriots traded up for the Rams’ No. 45 pick to take Joejuan Williams, CB out of Vanderbilt, giving up the No. 56 and 101 picks in the move. And right after that, the Browns traded for the No. 46 pick from the Colts — giving up No. 49 and 144 — to get Greedy Williams...another cornerback off the board.[UPDATE: 7:55 PM ET] Eagles look good having moved up to take Andre Dillard Womens Chance Warmack Jersey , the first round was DL heavy, but there’s been a run on offensive tackles/guards through the first 10 picks of Round 2. There’s also already been three trades, so Friday night is at least staying interesting. (Although, I could do without all the legends goading the crowd with every pick, but whatever.)[UPDATE: 7:23 PM ET] The Oakland Raiders traded the No. 35 pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars who went with Jawaan Taylor, offensive tackle out of Florida.[UPDATE: 7:19 PM ET] Round 2 starts off with a pair of CBs coming off the board. The Cardinals — who have yet to trade Josh Rosen to the Dolphins as of now — took Byron Murphy, and the Colts at No. 34 took Rock Ya-Sin. Indianapolis reportedly had a lot of trade offers, but didn’t budge and got their guy.[UPDATE: 6:58 PM ET] Hey Team! Alexis, here, and I am ready for Day 2! We’ll get to see Mike Quick and Brent Celek announce the Eagles picks, and the Giants and probably Cowboys make some (more) bad decisions. Let’s goooooo![UPDATE: 6:25 PM ET] Thread’s up! BLG here.

for players than playing in the actual game http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-fuller-jersey , and this time of year we start to hear about players bowing out of the annual all-star event. The New York..."Being named to the Pro Bowl is a bigger deal for players than playing in the actual game, and this time of year we start to hear about players bowing out of the annual all-star event. The New York Giants announced that Olivier Vernon was named to replace Chicago Bears outside linebacker Khalil Mack. In their announcement thay also mention that Mack is “unable to participate due to injury.”Mack did have that ankle injury around midseason, but since coming back healthy there haven’t been any other official reports about an ailment. There also wasn’t anything injury related announced from the wild card game, so this “injury” could just be him wanting out of the game. This was Mack’s fourth straight Pro Bowl nod, so he’s experienced the festivities before. For now, Chicago still has four other players in the game, and they did have a number of alternates named so that total could change again. LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — It hasn’t been a streak of accuracy on a level with Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees or Tom Brady. Nevertheless, Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has eliminated interceptions over his past three starts.Whether Trubisky can continue making good decisions and throws in his first playoff game at Soldier Field against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles could go a long way toward determining if the Bears’ season continues.“I think I’ve gotten better through the course of the season,” Trubisky said, “just continuing to make adjustments Womens Bryce Callahan Jersey , making those split-second decisions and just continue to get better and be critical of myself when I don’t and learn from those mistakes.”Trubisky suffered through a difficult three-interception game in the Bears’ 15-6 win over the Los Angeles Rams, when he returned from a two-game absence because of a shoulder injury.After a third-quarter interception, Bears coach Matt Nagy went entirely to the ground game the rest of the way. Since then, Trubisky has become deadly accurate and clutch.“He just handles adversity,” Nagy said. “He knows how to run this offense now. He’s at a point right now where when he calls a play in the huddle, he can start looking at the defense rather than looking at the offense.”Trubisky went 63 of 83 for 644 yards with three touchdown passes and no interceptions for a passer rating of 109.7 in wins over the Packers, 49ers and Vikings.Nagy called it a matter of coaches figuring out what plays and formations Trubisky performs best and knows best.“I think he’s finally starting to really understand who we are becoming as an identity within this offense,” Nagy said.So Nagy has some advice for Trubisky heading into his first postseason game, as the Bears try to take advantage of an Eagles pass defense ranked 30th in the NFL.“To not change, for him to continue to do just what he does,” Nagy said. “Last week, he had a little bit of a test of it Josh Bellamy Jersey , and I thought he did a great job handling the situation.”The 24-10 win at Minnesota on Sunday featured some of Trubisky’s best play on third down. He accounted for seven third-down conversions. And he did it against the NFL’s best third-down defense.“We all have our trust in him,” running back Tarik Cohen said. “We’ve seen him make the best of plays when times didn’t look so bright. Just the things he can do with the ball, his arm and including his feet, it’s amazing to watch.”Trubisky’s running ability on third down has been a big key. He has run for 421 yards this season and acknowledges he’s even surprised by his own ability to escape the pocket at times.“I always try to have eyes in the back of my head, have my head on a swivel, take care of the football and make smart decisions,” he said. “But it’s pretty cool in some situations you can escape from.”Tight end Trey Burton played for the Super Bowl champion Eagles last year and sees Trubisky’s second-year development on a course similar to Philadelphia quarterback Carson Wentz in his second season in 2017.Burton reeled off a list of Trubisky’s recent improvements.“Some of the throws he’s been able to make,” Burton said, “some of the plays he’s gotten us into from an offensive standpoint, some of the times when teams are blitzing and the way he’s able to scramble, some of the intangibles that not too many guys have in this league, I mean you see him show up.”Trubisky’s development came about after plenty of self-criticism http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-anthony-miller-jersey , especially after the Rams game.“Those are great learning experiences,” Trubisky said. “And those were instances where I just came back was critical of myself, watched the film and really figured out how I could change my mindset and do a better job in practice during the week just getting prepared.”The baby-faced Trubisky is sporting a playoff beard these days, as are all the Bears quarterbacks. It took a while, though. He started growing it the first week of the season.It seems an unusual time to start thinking playoffs.“I had faith,” Trubisky said.The same could be said for Nagy’s belief in his quarterback’s development in the face of sporadic criticism. Now he has a quarterback not turning over the ball and converting third downs.“When you do those things big picture-wise, you’re in good shape,” Nagy said.NOTES: S Eddie Jackson (ankle) and OLB Aaron Lynch (elbow) did not practice after missing the last two games. … WRs Taylor Gabriel (ribs), Anthony Miller (shoulder) and Allen Robinson II (ribs) and G Kyle Long (ankle) all went through a full practice.

LAKE FOREST http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-allen-robinson-jersey , Ill. (AP) Mitchell Trubisky understands what that means. All eyes are on him. ”Everyone’s looking toward you,” Trubisky said. ”They’re all seeing how you react and I love that because I feel like I know how to handle these situations and I still have all the confidence in the world in my guys that we can turn this around next week and we can really go on a run.” The freefalling Bears (3-8) bring a four-game losing streak into Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. And Chicago’s rookie quarterback looks to bounce back from his worst outing against the team that could have drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick. The Bears instead made a bold move by trading up a spot with the 49ers to grab him. And the results so far have been mixed. In the seven starts since he took over for the struggling Mike Glennon, Trubisky has shown at times a strong arm and the ability to extend plays with his quickness. But against Philadelphia last week, it was simply rough going. Facing the team with the NFL’s best record, Trubisky looked like an overmatched rookie. He was 17 of 33 for 147 yards with two interceptions, two sacks and two fumbles. Poor footwork led to Trubisky overthrowing several receivers and posting a career-low 38.3 passer rating. Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains wouldn’t pin it all on his quarterback, saying the receivers weren’t always where they needed to be. Adding to the Bears’ woes was the fact that they managed just 6 yards rushing – the second-lowest total in franchise history. Trubisky also found himself under pressure behind a shaky line even though the Eagles didn’t blitz much. But he reverted to some of his college habits when it came to his footwork. ”He got caught bouncing a little bit,” Loggains said. ”You know it was a tendency he had in college and we talked to him a lot about keeping his shoulders and head still. And he did get hoppy a little bit, and there were some throws that were errant because of that and something we’re going to keep working and grinding on that way.” Trubisky has been spending extra time working on his footwork and reviewing video. He seems level-headed and is maintaining a positive approach even though things aren’t going well at the moment for him or the team. He ranks last among regular quarterbacks with a 52.8percent completion rate and has been sacked 19 times. The Bears, meanwhile Womens Chase Daniel Jersey , have wiped out the good will they were starting to build. Back-to-back wins followed by a tight loss at New Orleans left them feeling pretty good heading into their bye. But the three games since then have been discouraging. ”(Teammates) know that I’m buying in even more, I’m working even harder and they know that I care about this team and my teammates and that we’re going to get this thing right and hopefully that kind of behavior is contagious,” Trubisky said. ”And I believe it is and just being around the locker room, being around those guys, talking to them one-on-one and just seeing how they feel. We’re still positive. We still have good confidence. And that just needs to carry over each day. Have good practices and go out there and try to get a win on Sunday.” NOTES: ILB Danny Trevathan (strained calf) returned to practice Wednesday on a limited basis. He was injured Oct. 29 at New Orleans, leaving the defense without the signal caller the past three games. ”I thought he looked good today,” Coach John Fox said. ”Anytime you have a starter out it can be problematic. But the rest of the players have to carry the load. It would be good to potentially have him back this week.” … Fox said the Bears’ decision to waive WR Tre McBride on Tuesday was about ”churning the roster.” He would not say if McBride was involved in a heated argument in the hallway on Monday that reporters overheard. … The Bears are bringing back LB Lamar Houston, claiming him off waivers from the Houston Texans. The 30-year-old Houston appeared in five games for the Texans. He played for Chicago from 2014-16 before being released on Sept. 6. — CANTON, Ohio (AP)Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher, two of the NFL’s greatest linebackers Bennie Fowler III Jersey , enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week. When their teams meet in Thursday night’s preseason opener, the game could very well honor them by being a defensive battle.On one hand, the Chicago Bears are installing a new offense under first-year coach Matt Nagy. On the other side, few if any of the Baltimore Ravens‘ starters at the offensive skill positions are likely to get much action.So if this winds up 10-9 or something similar, well, the smiles on the faces of Lewis and Urlacher might get a bit broader.Nagy has a second-year quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky, who will be taking his first major steps running the new scheme Nagy brought from Kansas City. He seems unconcerned that the second overall pick in the 2017 draft will be overmatched – even though Trubisky has been an interception machine in practices.”Our guys have picked up everything that we’ve asked them to do,” Nagy said. ”There have been mistakes, but they’re way ahead of the learning curve. So that’s exciting and it tells me that once we get to the regular season we can do more than I initially thought. But we will be growing throughout the season.”And the preseason.As for the Ravens http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-taylor-gabriel-jersey , don’t look for Joe Flacco in this one. The Hall of Fame game is an extra exhibition outing for the participants, and provides an opportunity for Baltimore coach John Harbaugh and his staff to look at first-round draft pick Lamar Jackson and veteran Robert Griffin III , who is attempting a comeback after not playing last year.”We have that set,” Harbaugh said of the QB plans for Thursday night. ”I never really talk about that. We just go do it. But we have the quarterback rotation set, and then we’ll organize the rest of it … There’ll be some guys who won’t play in that game, probably you might guess the guys who haven’t practiced as much that first week.”Some other things to watch in the Hall of Fame game:A FIFTH GAMEThe extra preseason contest usually gives low draftees, non-draftees and guys trying to catch on an additional chance to show their stuff. This isn’t much different from the final exhibition game, when starters generally sit and others get a last chance to make a roster.”When you have that extra game, the benefit is it gives you more reps for your players,” Nagy said. ”The negative is there’s health risks Womens Trey Burton Jersey , right? So people can get hurt. There’s a fine balance of both of those and being able to understand which way you want to go, and right now I feel like our plan as a coaching staff for who we want to play and don’t want to play, I feel really good about it.”O-LINE QUESTIONSBoth teams have to find answers regarding their blockers. Baltimore has one of the best in the league in right guard Marshal Yanda, but he’s coming off an injury-ravaged 2017 in which he made it into two games.”That’s why they call it training camp,” Ravens OL coach Joe D’Alessandris said. ”You have an idea of who are going to be your so-called projected players and starters, but that could change overnight. The same thing could happen during the season.”Considering how stationary Flacco can be, Baltimore needs to solve the offensive line issues quickly if he is its starter.Trubisky at least can move around, and there’s no question he will be the Bears’ first-stringer. Guard Kyle Long’s assortment of health issues doesn’t help in the quest to solidify the line.HOMECOMINGThis is sort of a homecoming for Trubisky. He played at North Carolina but is from this area (Mentor, Ohio).”I’m excited. The Hall of Fame game is a great opportunity for this team, and it’s a unique place to place Cody Parkey Jersey ,” he said. ”Just going back to the Hall of Fame, I’ll have some family coming to the game. It’ll be great to see some family, and it’s an exciting time for this team.”NATIONAL ANTHEMWith the NFL’s new policy on protocol during the national anthem in limbo as both the league and union discuss it, nothing really has changed from last season. Demonstrations by the players aimed toward awareness of social injustice could occur Thursday night.BETTING LINEWith legal betting on NFL games in some states, there actually is a line on this game: Baltimore by 2points. How the oddsmakers got there is anyone’s guess considering there are 90 players on each roster and many of them will get on the field.—AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg and freelance writer Gene Chamberlain contributed to this report.—

and they’ve seen their starting quarterback go down with an injury in each of them.Nate Sudfeld will be out for several weeks after breaking his left wrist in the opener and Cody Kessler is in the concussion protocol after getting hurt on the first drive of Thursday’s game against the Jaguars. That leaves rookie Clayton Thorson as the only healthy option behind Carson Wentz.Thorson went 16-of-26 for 175 yards against Jacksonville http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-herman-edwards-jersey , which earned a compliment from head coach Doug Pederson even as he said that the team will take another look at a potential addition to the depth chart.“We’ll evaluate Cody tomorrow and again over the weekend, but we’re going to get through the next few days,” Pederson said. “Obviously Womens Tommy McDonald Jersey , really excited for Clayton tonight. We’re just going to evaluate where we are and make a decision as we go.”There’s plenty of time for Kessler to clear the protocol before the regular season, although the nature of concussions makes it all but impossible to make that a certainty. That may open the door for a roster move, if only to ensure there’s enough arms active for joint practices with the Ravens next week. Eagles coach Doug Pederson said last week he expected Malcolm Jenkins to attend the team’s mandatory minicamp this week. Multiple reports Monday indicated the safety indeed would participate this week. Now Jerome Brown Jersey , Jenkins himself has confirmed his attendance.He also indicated that his absence in the voluntary portion of the offseason program was contract related.“I’m really excited to be back with the team,” Jenkins told Sharrie Williams of ABC 6 in Philadelphia. “Contract situations are always a part of the business that need to be addressed. The next few days I’m going to focus solely on football and helping my team win a championship.”According to Williams, the Eagles’ talks with Jenkins’ representation are “ongoing and heading in a direction that now has him committed to attend.”Jenkins http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-seth-joyner-jersey , 31, has started all 16 games all five of his seasons in Philadelphia. He has earned three Pro Bowl berths.Jenkins is scheduled to make $8.35 million this year and $7.85 million next year, the final two years of the four-year Womens Jason Peters Jersey , $35 million extension he signed three years ago. That’s well off the $14 million-a- year deals signed by other top safeties recently.Jenkins’ $8.75 million annual average ranks only ninth at his position.

http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-roquan-smith-jersey , Giorgio Tavecchio gets the kicking keys, and a bevy of options at returner."A team electing to move on from a franchise veteran is never easy. When that franchise veteran is the organization’s all-time leading scorer, well, that’s where things get a bit dicier. Matt Bryant was a shocking-yet-understandable cut early on in an Atlanta Falcons offseason that’s seen more turnover than any time in Dan Quinn’s tenure as head coach. The focal point of the Falcons’ special teams unit, Bryant is in the twilight of his NFL career but still an extremely productive — and lethally clutch — kicker. With those facts not in dispute, the Falcons willingly closed the door on Bryant’s time in Atlanta.And so began the overhaul of a special teams unit that, quite frankly, hasn’t been very effective or consistent on Dan Quinn’s watch — with the exception of the steady hand (and leg) of Matt Bryant. Bryant’s departure came on the heels of the immediate firing of longtime special teams coordinator Keith Armstrong on Black Monday. A holdover from the Mike Smith Era, Armstrong oversaw a unit that finished top-five in 2010, but points courtesy of Matt Bryant’s boot aside, special teams has been spectacularly pedestrian under Coach Quinn. Marvin Hall may have finished top-10 in kickoff return yards in 2018 with 616, but he was near the bottom of the pack of qualifying returners in yards per return with 23.69. Leading the league in return yards? Well Womens Eddie Goldman Jersey , that’s none other than former Atlanta Falcon Andre Roberts who garnered his first Pro Bowl nod with 1,174. He also finished second among qualifying returners with 29.35 yards per return.It’s a recent example, sure, but it’s glaringly indicative of how desperately this phase of the Atlanta Falcons’ game was aching for new blood at coordinator. Roberts’ immediate twist of the knife with his new team is the type of thing that leads to subsequent changeover on the coaching staff, and so it was no surprise when Keith Armstrong got the axe at the end of the league year.Enter Ben Kotwica, Washington’s former special teams coordinator who now holds the reins and is hoping to amplify production in Atlanta. He did yeoman’s work in D.C. last season, boosting Washington’s special teams rank to 8th in DVOA in 2018 — up from 22nd the previous year. He also flew attack helicopters in the military which is pretty awesome. Kotwica inherits a special teams unit now without its best playmaker, but with a promising young kicker in Giorgio Tavecchio. Tavecchio was absolutely lights out in relief of Matt Bryant last season, going 33-34 in extra points and 5-5 in field goals, including a prodigious 56-yarder to seal it against the New York Giants in Week 7. It’s obvious that he’s got the leg to succeed, but does he have the poise and grit and clutch DNA that carried Matt Bryant through his career? For better or worse, we’re about to find out; but the results so far have been nothing less than encouraging.Reinvigorating the return game is another task that’s been staked to Ben Kotwica Marcus Cooper Jersey , and he’s been afforded new options to turn a lackluster area into a positive. The Falcons selected Louisiana-Monroe running back/returner Marcus Green in the sixth round for seemingly that purpose: to inject his 4.3 speed on kickoff returns and increase Atlanta’s standing in the battle for field position. Other options exist as well in the form of free agent addition Kenjon Barner and undrafted standout and former Oregon running back/returner Tony Brooks-James. Barner is the only established commodity, but Green and Brooks-James both provide some intrigue at the returner spot.Matt Bryant and Keith Armstrong’s departures and the arrival of Ben Kotwica have ushered in a new era for the Atlanta Falcons special teams unit. They’re shifting from entrenched names to relative unknowns, which should stoke some unease in the slow march to the start of the season. But sometimes in order to fix things you have to begin by taking them all apart, and with the litany of changes on special teams it appears that the Atlanta Falcons are willing to throw down their chips on new solutions rather than sticking with the status quo. It’s a hefty gamble, but one they’re willing to make.

Latest NewsFrom The Desk Of...Who is your favorite current Chicago Bears player?New,73commentsCDTI know, I know, this is like asking a parent to pick a favorite child http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-kyle-fuller-jersey , but I’m curious to know which current Chicago Bears player is your favorite?For me, I’m going with offensive lineman Kyle Long. I’ve been a fan of Long’s since his rookie year. Admittedly, I wasn’t overjoyed when the Bears took him at 20, but I soon realized the kind of work ethic he was bringing to the team. I appreciated his unconventional story of how he ended up a first round prospect after only playing a handful of games at the University of Oregon, and once the Bears got him into the offseason program his physicality stood out. He won the starting right guard spot as a rookie in 2013 and made the first of three consecutive pro bowls. For me, his play that 2013 season was extremely fun to watch, because he’d get by on brute force and tenacity.But when this moment happened in week one that year...... that solidified how I felt about Long. Any offensive lineman that has his quarterbacks back is okay in my book. In a few weeks I’ll be revealing my Top 100 Favorite Bears (that I’ve seen play) of All-Time, and I have Long in my top 10. In fact, I have ten current Bears on my Top 100. Who is your favorite current Chicago Bear?

After Cody Kessler left the Jaguars game early with a concussion, Thorson was forced into playing the rest of the night.Thorson responded with an unspectacular performance, which is actually a good thing! He looked calm, decisive and accurate. His touchdown pass was a bit of a lob, but it came on fourth down against a blitz, so you gotta love the kid’s chutzpah. For him to follow up a 0.0 passer rating game with what he did last night should give the staff confidence in him as a developmental starter. Whether he’s ready to be the number two quarterback is still very much up in the air as Cody Kessler and Nate Sudfeld recover from their injuries. The long game with Thorson, at this point Womens Jake Elliott Jersey , has a glimmer of hope on the horizon.Andre DillardAndre Dillard had another night with few mistakes. Folks tried laying blame on Dillard for the hit that took Kessler out of the fame, but Dillard was clearly doing his job by squeezing down to block a blitzing linebacker. Dillard continues to be solid while impressing with his physical tools.Miles SandersDillard took part in a collective offensive line performance for the Eagles that paved the way for Miles Sanders and co. all game. Sanders had exciting 12 and 16 yard runs where the line opened a huge gap for the rookie and Sanders shaked and baked his way down field. Albeit he had six carries, but Sanders showed off wiggle and some hard running. He looks like he’s on a different level than any other Eagles back.JJ Arcega-WhitesideJJ Arcega-Whiteside has been *okay* so far this preseason and is still clearly getting settled into NFL speed. What is notable is that Arcega-Whiteside has been targeted 11 times through two games, seven of those coming last night. It’s clear that the coaches and quarterbacks want to get him the ball, but he will need to start doing more with those opportunities.Shareef MillerOn the defensive side of the ball, Eagles newcomer and third year player Daeshon Hall is making a lot of noise and overshadowing quietly impressive rookie preseasons. Shareef Miller continues to show a lot of promise. He had another sack last night when he spun out of a block and brought down the quarterback! Miller continues looking quick off the ball and has played with an impressive motor. This is encouraging for a team looking for young outside pass rushing talent, but the question remains if he can overtake a Daeshon Hall for a roster spot. T.J. EdwardsAlso on the defensive side, undrafted free agent T.J. Edwards looked really solid last night. Edwards looked great coming downhill against the run. The team needs depth at linebacker and Edwards is playing himself into a roster spot....As the team heads into their “dress rehearsal” game next week, they have to be happy with how their raft class has performed so far. It will be notable as to which rookies are heavily featured with the starters for the upcoming preseason game. Chris Long retired Saturday night, signing off on a brilliant 11-year career (on and off the field) with a red cup and a sunset.But as you’d expect with a player so thoughtful Derek Barnett Jersey , it was far from an easy decision.The former Rams, Patriots, and Eagles defensive end told Peter King of NBC’s that the decision was “complicated.”“I learned to never make a decision based on just one thing,” Long said. “The decision to retire was complicated. It was based on health, which is still very good, and family, we have two small children, and football fit, which includes a chance to win and my role and geography.“Philadelphia is where I wanted to play a couple more years. I love Philadelphia. But as a player I learned the most important thing to me is Sunday, and having a chance to be a big part of it. It seemed like player-coach was kind of the role that was going to be carved out for me—maybe playing 10 http://www.eagleslockerroom.com/authentic-ronald-darby-jersey , 12, 15 plays a game. I’m a rhythm player. I need to set people up, I need to be in the flow of the game. If I sit on the bench for three series, I can’t get rhythm, and I’ll get cold and maybe I’ll hurt myself. Some people think that’s great—play less and you won’t get hurt. Man, I want to play ball. In Philadelphia, it didn’t seem there was much of a chance to compete there.“But they were honest with me the whole time. I appreciate the honesty. I’ll always love Philadelphia and the Eagles, but I didn’t want Week Four, Five, to come around and people think Womens Chris Long Jersey , Whoa, where’s Chris? Did Chris retire? I’d rather do it this way than just fade out. And I didn’t want to start over again across the country somewhere.”Long could have easily found another place to play, and another place that would have given him the expanded role he wanted. Instead, he chose to walk away, into what is doubtless going to be a retirement as productive as his football career was.

in a long time. Yes http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-brian-urlacher-jersey , their match ups this season against the Vikings and Patriots were big tests, but now it’s later in the season, and this looms as the single biggest test they’ve had to date.The Rams are among the best teams in the league and most rank them behind the Saints for NFC supremacy. The Bears are among the best, sure, but I think it’s fair to say that outside of Chicago there are quite a lot of doubts.The Bears did beat the Vikings on a previous Sunday Night Football game, and they lost a close one to the Patriots, but they aren’t quite as battle-tested as the Rams, who’ve gone toe-to-toe with both the Saints and Chiefs, as well as the Chargers and even the Vikings.The Rams have both a star-studded defense and offense, with superstars such as Aaron Donald and Todd Gurley. Plus playmakers such as Jared Goff, Ndamukong Suh and Marcus Peters.While their defense hasn’t always produced, they rank just behind the Bears in turnover margin. If the Bears can hang with or, dare I say, beat, the Rams, then there should be few doubters left.Los Angeles RamsSB Nation Site: Turf Show TimesGame day/time/TV: Sunday, 7:20 p.m. CT, NBCRecord: 11-1Last week: 30-16 win over the Lions in DetroitBears all-time record against: 52-35-3Historical match ups: The last time these two teams met when the Rams were in Los Angeles was Dec. 18, 1994.At Soldier Field, the 8-4 Bears hosted the 4-10 Rams. The Bears won behind Raymont Harris and Lewis Tillman rushing for a combined 161 yards and two touchdowns on 37 carries. Steve Walsh threw 25 passes and a touchdown to Keith Jennings. The Bears held the Rams to just 37 rushing yards and both Chris Miller and Chris Chandler played for the Rams. The Bears won 27-13.Last meeting: The Bears moved to 4-5 with a week 10 beatdown of the Rams in 2015 as the Bears won 37-13.Jay Cutler threw three touchdowns, including two of 80+ yards to Zach Miller and Jeremy Langford. Miller caught two touchdowns in the game while Langford added a rushing score. Nick Foles started for St. Louis and Todd Gurley rushed for 45 yards and a touchdown.Offense: The Rams boast one of the best offenses in the league, and entering this week they are second in both points scored and yards gained.They rank fourth in passing yards and fourth in rushing yards.Obviously, they are stacked, led by Jared Goff (66.4 comp. pct./3,754 yds./27 TD/7 INT) throwing to WRs Brandon Cooks (63 rec./1,026 yds./3 TD), Robert Woods (64/971/5), plus TE Tyler Higbee (19/217/2). Josh Reynolds (15/197/3) has been coming on in place of the injured Cooper Kupp.Their main weapon, however, is Todd Gurley. Gurley is effective as both a runner (233 att./1,175 yds./15 TD), where he leads the league and also as a receiver (46 rec./474 yds./4 TD). He leads the league in not only rushing, but rushing TDs Womens Leonard Floyd Jersey , yards from scrimmage, all-purpose yards. points scored and touchdowns.There is so much this offense can do, much of it off of play action. If Gurley gets going, it could get ugly. The Bears have had trouble setting the edge and tackling running backs in each of their losses this year. Blowing coverages (a la the Packers and Giants game) or poor tackling efforts (such as against the Dolphins, Giants and Patriots), this could really get away from them.Their offense isn’t afraid to get into a shootout and, as good as it’s been, it’s fair to wonder if the Bears can keep up in that situation.Defense: The Rams come into the game with the league’s 19th ranked defense in terms of points allowed and 18th ranked in terms of yards.Their passing defense is 17th and their rushing defense is 18th.The Rams defense has been porous at times.They’ve allowed over 440 yards four times this season and over 30 points five times. The Rams are led by Aaron Donald, who may be, along with Khalil Mack, the best defensive player in the league. Donald has an unbelievable stat line of 16.5 sacks, 1 PD, 4 FF, 20 TFL and 32 QB hits. He also has two fumble recoveries.Donald’s had at least two sacks in each of the last three games, the only game he was shut out of a sack in the last nine games, was the Saints game.Helping Donald out are Ndamukong Suh (3.5 sacks/2 PD/3 TFL/14 QB hits), LB Cory Littleton (4 sacks/10 PD/8 TFL/4 QB hits), recent addition Dante Fowler (2 sacks/1 FF/4 TFL) and Samson Ebukam (3 sacks/3 FF/1 INT/2 FR/2 TDs).In the secondary are John Johnson (3 INT/8 PD/1 FF), Marcus Peters (2 INT/5 PD) and now they have Aqib Talib back. Injury report: The Rams listed just two players on their Wednesday report:Did not participate: RB Malcolm Brown (shoulder)Full: CB Marcus Peters (ankle)Key match ups: Aaron Donald against Cody Whitehair and Bryan Witzmann. The interior of the line is going to have their hands full of Donald and the rest of the Rams’ defensive line. The best offensive weapon is going to be the running game, so the OL is going to be key.For the defense, slowing down Gurley is going to be the biggest key. The Bears can’t afford missed tackles or blown coverages. Roquan Smith is likely going to be asked to shadow Gurley a lot, out of the backfield and at the line of scrimmage.For Mack and Hicks, it’s going to be key for them to win at the point of attack and fill the running lanes, as well as pressuring Goff. Rattling him and making him rush his throws is going to be a big key.Elsewhere on offense, they just need to score points. Exploit their questionable linebackers by getting Tarik Cohen in space and get the running game going with Jordan Howard. Adam Shaheen, Trey Burton and the tight ends might be able to find some room. Trubisky needs to knock his rust off early and get into a rhythm. The Rams play a lot of coverages that Trubisky should be able to exploit.What to watch for: If this game doesn’t get you hyped, there is no hope for you as a Bears or a football fan. You don’t have a pulse.This is a clash of one of the best offenses in the league and one of the best defenses. The Bears are going to be looking to replicate the success that the Saints had against Los Angeles while the offense is going to try to score to keep up with this high flying attack.It’s going to be a good one.Key stats: The Bears defense has allowed 25 touchdowns total. The Rams offense 44 touchdowns.The Rams are allowing opponents a 99.7 passer rating. The Bears defense is allowing a 78.5 passer rating.Chicago has as many interceptions as passing touchdowns allowed (21).The Bears have allowed 30 or more points just three times (all losses). The Rams have failed to score more than 30 points just twice (and one of those times it was 29).The Rams opponents have scored 30 or more points five times. The Bears have scored 30 or more points four times.Jared Goff has played one game in a temperature below freezing: Week 6 at Denver. His stat line: 14/28 for 201 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT, sacked 5 times. His worst statistical game of the season.The pick: I think the Bears keep it close but come up just short, I have Rams 28, Bears 26.

Let’s take a look at some historical data on how quarterbacks have improved in their second year running an Andy Reid type of offense."Did Mitchell Trubisky improve from his rookie season to his second season?The numbers seem to indicate that he did. But taking the stats out of the equation, did he grow as a passer under head coach Matt Nagy while learning a new offense?The film indicates he did as well. This isn’t even up for debate. Not at all. If you really watched Trubisky play in 2018 and your takeaway is that he regressed Eric Kush Jersey , then — like I’ve been saying for months now — you either haven’t the slightest bit of football intelligence or you’re a troll (maybe both). He’s not a finished product by any means, and he still makes some mistakes that many young quarterbacks do, but he’s growing. I thought he played decent football as a rookie when considering the offense he was in andthe lack of receivers around him, but this year with a new offense and new talent, I thought he started to show the type of player you move up in the draft for. Many Bears fans — and some NFL analysts — wanted to compare the addition of head coach Matt Nagy to Chicago to what the Los Angeles Rams did by hiring head coach Sean McVay in 2017. I always thought it was a fair comparison. You had each franchise going from an old school, defensive minded head coach, to a new and innovative offensive mind. Each franchise hired their new head coach in hopes of developing their second year quarterbacks. The Rams traded up to number one overall in 2016 to take Jared Goff, and they sent their first-round pick in 2016 (15th overall), two second-round picks in 2016, a third-round pick 2016, a 2017 first-round pick and another third-round pick from the 2017 draft. The Rams received back from the Titans, that top pick in 2016, a fourth-round pick in 2016, and a sixth-round er in 2016. Goff was bad as a rookie on Jeff Fisher’s Rams’ squad. The Bears moved up to the second overall spot in the 2017 draft to take Trubisky, and they sent their number one, plus a third-round pick in 2017, a fourth-round pick, and a 2018 third-rounder. Trubisky didn’t exactly light it up in John Fox’s predictable offense.However, both the Rams and the Bears improved immensely under new leadership that second season, and each QB saw improvements in their play as well. They say a quarterback usually makes a big jump as a player in his second year as a professional, and I alluded to Trubisky’s numbers earlier, so I wanted to share them here. Trubisky GrowthTRUBISKY20172018DifferenceTRUBISKY20172018DifferenceTrubisky GrowthA bit about the table before we move on. PR = The traditional passer rating the NFL has been using for years.QBR = The ESPN created quarterback rating that takes many factiors into account, includingsuccess of each play, rushing stats, penalties and more. ESPN altered their formula at some point after debuting the analytic, and it’s gaining steam as a valid number. You can learn all about the “stat” here, Comp % = Completion percentageTD % = Percentage of times a TD is thrown. INT % = Percentage of times an interception is thrown. In the difference category, a negative number actually equates to a positive result. Sack % = Percentage of times a player is sacked. In the difference category you’d also like to see a negative result from he first year to the next. YPA = Yards per attemptYPG = Yards per game. On some players I only calculated yards per game per start because their partial games would have skewed the difference totals. While there’s no way to know if Trubisky would have improved that much under Fox’s leadership, I think it’s safe to say he took to Nagy’s coaching.Since 2019 will be Trubisky’s second year in the same offense, I wanted to look at some of the numbers from other quarterbacks working in a similar system for a second consecutive season. Matt Nagy comes from the Andy Reid coaching tree, who came from the Mike Holmgren coaching tree, who came from Bill Walsh’s West Coast Offense coaching tree. Walsh may have mastered the WCO and taught it to his disciples, but the offense has undergone changes through the years. The terminology is relatively the same http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-roquan-smith-jersey , but some of the principles have changed with each offensive mind that has spun from his tree. The last several years have seen Reid’s version of the WCO start to adopt some of the concepts that have been popularized in the college ranks. His success has given way to several head coaches though the years, but I wanted to focus on the offensive branches from his tree, and take a look at how the quarterbacks in “his” system have fared in year two. I think by knowing the type of statistical jump other QBs have had from the first year to the next in Reid’s offense, that will give us a good idea of what to expect for Trubisky in 2019. Keep in mind that this is a numbers exercise. I’m not going through the tape to check on fundamentals or mechanics, but I think a snapshot of a few numbers will paint a good picture for us. I’ll give some seasonal context, but for the most part this will be all about the stats. Let’s start way back in 1999 with the first quarterback that was all Andy Reid’s, Donovan McNabb. Before being hired by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1999, Reid had served the previous seven years with the Green Bay Packers, and in 1997 and 1998 he was Green Bay’s quarterbacks coach under head coach Mike Holmgren. Philly fans hated the McNabb pick, but he turned into a 6-time Pro Bowler during his 11 years with the Eagles. Check out how he grew from the first to the second year in Reid’s offense.Donavan McNabbMcNabb GrowthMCNABB19992000DifferenceMCNABB19992000DifferenceMcNabb appeared in 12 games as a rookie, but he only started 6 of them, hence the yards per game in starts. The quarterback he split time with that season was Doug Pederson, but more on him later.In 2000, McNabb started all 16 games as he helped the Eagles to an 11-5 record, and he made his first Pro Bowl. While his numbers as a passer drastically improved his second year in Reid’s offense, his Pro Bowl appearance had something to do with his 629 yards rushing. McNabb was Reid’s QB1 until 2010, when another athletic QB took over in Philly. In 2009 the Eagles signed Michael Vick after a two year suspension and he barely played for Reid. He only threw 13 passes and had 24 rushing attempts as he was more of a gimmick player that first season being coached by Reid. Michael VickVick GrowthVICK20092010DifferenceVICK20092010DifferenceBut in 2010, Vick started 12 games, he returned to the Pro Bowl, and he had his best season as a passer while racking up career bests in passer rating, QBR, completion percentage, and TD passes. Andy Reid took a 30-year old Michael Vick and he helped him become a better quarterback.Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?Brad Childress was Reid’s offensive coordinator in Philadelphia from 2002 to 2005, and prior to that he spent two years as his quarterbacks coach. In 2006, the Minnesota Vikings hired Childress to be their head coach, so he took the Reid offensive philosophy and started to teach it to rookie 2nd-round draft pick, Tarvaris Jackson. Brad Johnson was Childress’ number one quarterback in 2006, but in 2007 the Vikes turned the reigns over to Jackson. Let’s see how he improved from one year to the next.Tarvaris JacksonJackson GrowthJACKSON20062007DifferenceJACKSON20062007DifferenceJackson wasn’t as talented as McNabb or Vick, and he never made a Pro Bowl, but he did steadily improve under Childress’ coaching. That first year he only had 2 starts while appearing in 4 games, but in year two he started all 12 of the games he played in. Let’s circle back to Coach Reid and look at his first year in Kansas City. In 2013 he had Alex Smith as his starting QB after Smith spent 2005 to 2012 in San Francisco. Reid helped get him to his first Pro Bowl in 2013, and Smith was a more efficient QB that second season with Reid. And by the way, Smith’s QB coach these two years was Matt Nagy.Alex SmithSmith GrowthSMITH20172018DifferenceSMITH20172018DifferenceMost of Smith’s numbers increased Womens Eddie Goldman Jersey , but he was the only guy that saw his yards per game drop a bit. The last quarterback I want to look at is also the most recent. Doug Pederson went from being Reid’s offensive coordinator in K.C., to being the head coach of the Eagles and just like his mentor before him, he got a rookie quarterback to work with from the start. Carson Wentz was picked second overall in the 2016 draft. Carson WentzWentz GrowthWENTZ20162017DifferenceWENTZ20162017DifferenceWentz really blossomed that second year in the same offense, and he was being mentioned as a possible MVP candidate before he was injured. He was having another good statistical year this season before the injuries caught back up with him. He was also the only player that had a small dip in completion percentage. So every QB we looked at saw their passer rating increase in the second year in the same system. Being comfortable in the offense won’t just be a be a plus for Trubisky, but for the entire offense as well. The better Allen Robinson II, Taylor Gabriel, Trey Burton and the other receivers all know their jobs, the better Trubisky can do at his job. At the end of the season press conference, head coach Matt Nagy said that, “What I’m most excited about is when we get to OTAs, and we get to training camp, I can’t even begin to explain how pumped up I am to take what we just put together this past year and fine tune it to our players, and our coaches, and our scheme. And then just get it down to what we think gives us a better opportunity to be much better next year.”He talked about how the players had to essentially learn a new language this last offseason, and they had to concern themselves with little things like where to line up, but “they all know that now, we’re speaking the same lingo,” Nagy said. “When we show up for OTAs (in 2019), remember I kept saying (Football) 101, now we’re on to 202.”I wouldn’t expect a +22.6 passer rating increase like Wentz did in his second year in the system, but if Trubisky did do that, then we’d be talking about a guy in the mix for MVP. And speaking of MVP, there is one other quarterback that saw a significant increase in his numbers in his second year working with Andy Reid. And, by the way, he was also coached by Matt Nagy as a rookie, but since Patrick Mahomes only played in one game in 2017, I didn’t want to include him in this exercise.I’m not sure how much of a jump Mitchell Trubisky will make, but I’m certain he’ll grow in year two of Matt Nagy’s offense.

and helped knock Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers out of playoff contention.They could not have asked for a sweeter scenario.Mitchell Trubisky threw for two touchdowns Womens Akiem Hicks Jersey , Eddie Jackson ended Rodgers’ NFL-record streak without an interception and Chicago clinched the division with a 24-17 victory over the Packers on Sunday.The Bears (10-4) secured their first playoff appearance since the 2010 team won the NFC North. And even better for them, they did it with a rare victory over their heated rivals.“We’ve accomplished a lot,” Trubisky said. “But I think I’m most proud of just the type of guy that we have in our locker room, the culture that we’ve kind of created. We know that nobody really believed in us on the outside in the preseason — or even throughout the season. But we knew what type of team we had. And we knew we were just gonna keep getting better every single week.”The loss coupled with Minnesota’s 41-17 victory over Miami keeps the Packers out of the postseason for the second year in a row.Chicago had dropped nine of 10 against Green Bay (5-8-1). But the Bears secured their first trip to the playoffs in eight years with their seventh win in eight games .For a team that came into the season with four straight last-place finishes, it’s quite a turnaround. But with the hiring of coach Matt Nagy and trade for Khalil Mack in a busy offseason, the Bears made a huge jump.“You could feel it all year long that we knew we had the talent,” Nagy said.The Bears blew a 20-point lead in a season-opening loss at Green Bay, with an injured Rodgers rallying the Packers. But they’ve been climbing since.Trubisky gave the Bears a 21-14 lead early in the fourth quarter with a 13-yard pass to Trey Burton in the left side of the end zone.After stopping the Packers, Tarik Cohen returned a punt 44 yards to the 15. But he stepped out of bounds a yard short on a third-and-5 at the 10 when he easily could have gotten the first down.That forced the Bears to settle for a field goal by Cody Parkey, making it 24-14 with 6:43 remaining.The Packers then drove to the 9, but on third down, Jackson picked off Rodgers, ending his streak at 402 passes.The throw over the middle was intended for Jimmy Graham near the goal line. But the ball got tipped to Jackson, who had to be helped off the field with a sprained right ankle after his leg bent awkwardly as he tried to slide on the return. The interception was his sixth of the season.Mason Crosby kicked a field goal in the closing seconds to make it a seven-point game. But Chicago recovered the onside kick.The Packers are 1-1 since offensive coordinator Joe Philbin replaced fired coach Mike McCarthy on an interim basis.“The expectation is competing for championships,” Rodgers said. “It’s a good football team. But like I told some of the guys Bobby Massie Jersey , I look forward to the battles over the years. I like our chances in this division moving forward.”WORST TO FIRSTThe Bears, who finished in fourth place in the NFC North last season, completed a turnaround that make for 15 of the past 16 seasons with at least one NFL team finishing in first place in its division the season after finishing in last or tied for last place.And Nagy became the Bears’ first rookie coach with 10 wins since George Halas in 1920, the inaugural season for a franchise then known as the Decatur Staleys.LEADING BEARSMack had 2½ sacks and Leonard Floyd added two. The defense came through with another strong effort after the Monsters of the Midway shut down Jared Goff and the NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams the previous week.Trubisky was 20 of 28 for 235 yards with a 120.4 rating. It was a big improvement over the previous week when he matched a career high with three interceptions after missing back-to-back games because of a right shoulder injury.Cohen caught a touchdown pass. Jordan Howard ran for a TD, and the Bears improved to 7-1 at home for the first time since 2005.“Guys grinded, gritted it out, especially toward the end,” Mack said. “We just want to keep this feeling going.”RODGERS CONTAINEDRodgers said his groin tightened on him at the end of the first half. He finished 25 of 42 for 274 yards with his second interception of the season and failed to throw a touchdown for the first time this year.Davante Adams had eight receptions for 119 yards.The Packers fell to 0-7 on the road with their ninth straight loss away from home, and their eight-game win streak at Soldier Field, counting the postseason, came to an end.“Nobody anticipated this happening,” Clay Matthews said. “In reality, we’re not getting blown out every week. I’m trying to find a silver lining, that’s all you can do at this point of the season.”INJURIES:Packers: RT Bryan Bulaga (knee) missed his second game in a row, while DL Kenny Clark sat out with an elbow injury. … RB Aaron Jones left the game with a knee injury in the first quarter. … WR Randall Cobb was evaluated for a concussion following a hard hit by Jackson late in the game.Bears: LB Aaron Lynch left with an elbow injury in the third quarter.UP NEXTPackers: Visit New York Jets on Dec. 23.Bears: Visit San Francisco on Dec. 23. LAKE FOREST http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-jordan-howard-jersey , Ill. (AP) — Linebacker Roquan Smith, safety Eddie Jackson and other Chicago Bears defensive players felt ready to begin hitting last week when organized team activities ended.A weekend around the likes of Dick Butkus, Doug Plank, Richard Dent and other Bears greats at the franchise’s 100th anniversary celebration hardly doused those flames.They’ll have to wait six weeks, but the Bears started wrapping up offseason work on Tuesday with mandatory minicamp by saying they’re already prepared to begin making up for the way last season ended.“That first-round game, that’s just fuel to our fire,” Jackson said after the first of three minicamp practices. “We came up short. We’re just ready to get back at it.“You could tell everyone was here 100 percent for OTAs. So that just shows you that everyone is on board and we’re just ready to chase greatness.”Everyone, perhaps, except the kicking candidates.Elliott Fry, Chris Blewitt and Eddy Pineiro each missed in succession from 42 yards during Tuesday’s practice, a yard shorter than Cody Parkey missed from to end the Bears’ playoff loss to the Eagles.“For today, we can’t have that,” coach Matt Nagy said. “We are going to figure this thing out. But 0-for-3 today, no good.”A positive going forward is their team’s overall health. Almost every Bears player is back for the minicamp, which ends Thursday.Injured receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) Womens Eddie Jackson Jersey , tight end Trey Burton (hernia surgery) and rookie Emanuel Hall (hernia surgery) are out, but are all expected back for training camp.Jackson returned after he missed time last week when someone stepped on his heel, and tackle Bobby Massie returned earlier after missing time in OTAs with a neck injury.The defense continues to try to get down different terminology under new defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano.“I will say we’re certainly at that point right now where our guys are ready,” Nagy said. “They’re ready to put the pads on.“They’re sick and tired of me saying, ‘don’t you get close to that quarterback, don’t tip the ball, don’t grab jerseys, don’t do that.”Tuesday’s practice came with more Bears alumni around. A group of 20 watched current players who were a bit in awe of them last weekend.Defensive players expressed everything from gratification to shock to inspiration after visiting with past Bears greats.“You want to kind of mimic that,” cornerback Kyle Fuller said.Smith spent time taking tips from Butkus and linebacker Otis Wilson.“Pretty much Butkus was like, ‘Just be violent. By all means be violent.’ That was his main thing,” Smith said. “And pretty much Otis, from the ’85 team, it was more saying the same thing: ‘get the quarterback, knock him out,’ stuff like that. It was very similar.”Jackson was on a panel with safeties Plank Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey , Gary Fencik and Mike Brown, and couldn’t believe it when he heard Plank once tackled a woman who at a public appearance wanted to challenge him.“The story about him tackling the woman — that was like one of the craziest things I ever heard,” Jackson said. “We thought he, like, either gave a love tap, but we heard he really tackled her. I couldn’t believe it. And everybody vouched for the story.”Pass rusher Khalil Mack appreciated listening to franchise sacks leader Richard Dent offer advice on how to use his hands differently against blockers.“It definitely gives you a confidence boost,” Mack said. “But just being a player and being a leader on the team, you understand that we could talk all day. It’s ultimately about going out and showing our actions and balling as one unit, as one team and as one family.”The lesson Nagy said they all took from the convention and former players was unity.“It was a brotherhood, it was a family, it was a bond,” Nagy said. “It’s not about being better than any other team that was here, it’s about just carrying on that tradition.”
