Chicago Bears

By Dane Noble Perry Fewell was interviewed for Defensive Coordinator in Chicago, but decided to go in another direction.  Since then, the only name attached to a potential Bears DC hire was Rod Marinelli, and that was him mentioning himself.  As always, keep your eyes and ears open for any movement... we ma...

By BY SEAN JENSEN sjensen@suntimes.com Sean Jensen: Despite enduring endless criticism locally and nationally, the Bears appear to be nearing a conclusion in their search for an offensive coordinator. Minnesota Vikings quarterbacks coach Kevin Rogers impressed team officials Thursday, and former St. Louis Rams head coac...

By HoneyBear Then, as you could guess, here came along Papa Bear. In 1930, Nagurski signed with the Bears for $5,000. He ledthe team to 2 NFL Championships, in both 1932 and 1933. Because of World War II, Bronko was asked to come back to the Bears. The team was short on players.  station owner. him.

By Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. 3)  Apparently Marvin Lewis and the Bengals gave Lovie Smith one week after interviewing their QB coach, Ken Zampese, to make a decision in regards to the Bears O.C. job.  If Chicago knew of the deadline (and why wouldn't they)then why interview him when they did?  Were they expecting to be b...

By Sean Jensen After I talked to Bears rookie receiver Johnny Knox, I ran into Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson. Before joining the Sun-Times, of course, I covered the Vikings, including each of Peterson's seasons. He said he's still not over his... After I talked to Bears rookie receiver Joh...

By Dave Trembley Sept. 25, 2012—Favre throws his career 600th TD and 300th interception in the same game while playing for the Detroit Lions. Lions head coach Tom Coughlin says of his team, “We didn’t stink too bad today.” Elsewhere, 50-year-old pitcher Jamie Moyer scatters nine hits in a 6-1 victory for the...

By Mark Saade We called for a new quarterback, General Manager Jerry Angelo delivered; we called for offensive line help, we got two new guys; we called for the firing of Ron Turner, we got our wish. Besides, when the Bears win the Super Bowl in a year or two, imagine how sweet all of this will be!

By Kev H Rogers drew attention for his work with Brett Favre this year--a quarterback to whom Jay Cutler has been compared.  Favre arguably had the best season of his 19-year career. Previously, Rogers also was praised for his development of Tarvaris Jackson and his work with Gus Frerotte.

By Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. Eric Peterman - Contract undisclosed - Peterman was signed to the practice squad in late December when the Bears had some injuries to their wide outs.  He should be in camp next year and vying for a roster spot or at the very least a chance to be on the practice squad again.  This will be another g...

By Kevin Seifert We all know Green Bay linebacker Clay Matthews III comes from a deep lineage of football success. His father, Clay Jr., was a 19-year linebacker in the NFL. His uncle, Bruce Matthews, also played 19 seasons as an offensive lineman and is a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Chicago Bears

By Phil Andrews Wow, has it really been 24 years?  Jan 26, 1986. Super Bowl XX, at the Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Tony Eason and the New England Patriots, against Jim McMahon and the Chicago Bears. Unfortunately for New England, Chicago’s defense stayed the course that Super Bowl Sunday.

By Jeff Hughes Perhaps the rumors that Les Frazier is interested in joining Lovie Smith in Chicago are true but I can't imagine Frazier - with a head coaching job right out his window - would leave the stability of Brad Childress' recent contract extension.  The NFL has too short an attention span to consi...

By Neil Hayes The longtime NFL assistant and former USC head coach is currently the quarterbacks' coach in Oakland, which means he would likely be interested in escaping owner Al Davis' bizarre world. Some might wonder why the Bears would consider hiring someone who has failed so miserably to develop...

By Kev H Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo practices his Coordinator Search Technique. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh) Rob Chudzinski is the Assistant Head Coach in charge of Tight Ends for San Diego, who just got eliminated from the playoffs. He was also the OC for the Browns in 07-08. 

By Neil Hayes Coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jerry Angelo keep insisting that this core group of players will perform better even while continuing to play in the same system. It's a tough sell, especially after the Bears have gone 23-25 since Super Bowl XLI.

By Sklz711 Fullback: Jason McKie, he's a fantastic human being, but not exactly the best at any aspect of the FB game. A jack of all trades, McKie will be 30 before the start of next season, so it's likely that we'll see someone else getting groomed for this position even if it's on the practice squad.

By Lester A. Wiltfong Jr. You can see one particular stroke of Johnson's imagination in any game, on any weekend, and you'll see it in the playoffs too: the Double A Gap Blitz. Two linebackers blitz-or threaten to blitz-from positions on the left and right shoulders of the center (the A gaps), trying to get immediat...

By Sean Yuille The Lions put up a fight in the season finale today against Chicago, but ultimately all of the issues this team has had all season long, such as an awful pass defense, poor tackling, costly turnovers, and bad passes at the worst times, caught up with Detroit as the Bears won 37-23.  Detroit ma...

By Fantasy-Info .com Fantasy football seasons will end this Sunday and in Chicago the Bears may have themselves a new wide receiver for fantasy owners to take note of. Since Devin Hester left the teams lineup, the Bears starting quarterback Jay Cutler has found a new target named Devin Aromashodu .

By Gene Chamberlain About four hours after his boss failed to offer a vote of confidence Sunday, Bears coach Lovie Smith understood the reason. On Sunday, Angelo did it in a way when asked if the offensive scheme could be to blame when a Pro Bowl quarterback comes in and struggles.

By Kev H So he's doing alright. There's flashes amongst all the wide receivers with some level of talent or another. But at this point, I think the only thing to do to really bring that out of them is to get a new WR coach. I know that Darryl Drake has had some success with the Bears WR. According to his profil...

By Brad Biggs That is what Brian Urlacher was talking about, right? When he thinks identity and he thinks Bears' football, 38 carries and 18 passes is what he has in mind, isn't it? Never mind, temporarily, that they were not particularly good... That is what Brian Urlacher was talking about, right?

By Kev H Rookies Owners This isn't to say that there will be no team that goes spending crazy--someone likely will.(I'm looking at you, NFC East). Just that there's a chance that shelling out tons of cash isn't going to get them anywhere. Fans The Bears

By Jeff Hughes Today on The Score, Hub Arkush has made sure-to-be ballyhooed comments regarding Bears ownership "considering the possibilities" of making changes in both the front office and on the sideline of the Chicago Bears.  All of this may mean nothing but it also may mean everything.  I believe i...

By Ricky O'Donnell Remember back to when the trade went down. What was the first thing everyone agreed on? I believe it was "at least Cutler will be able to connect on some long balls". Kyle Orton, you may remember, was fine within a 15-yard window. Orton couldn't make the big play though, and that's what we all ass...

By Ricky O'Donnell Jim Zorn is a terrible football coach. Lovie Smith is not. We've been over this before, but, yeah, the Bears' problems run deeper than the head coach. That doesn't mean he should keep his job, though. While we're here, if the Bears do fire Lovie, Jerry Angelo has to go, too. Those two are forever ti...

By wiltfongjr If you're the Chicago Bears' management, who are you more inclined to fire, Lovie Smith or Ron Turner? He goes on to get more in detail with his question, bashing both Turner and Smith, even bashing Lovie for being an ineffective drafter, a point King immediately corrects. 

By Ed Yevelev Cameron Jordan has been inconsistent, while back-up Ernest Owusu has not had a single quarterback drop since getting a couple in the Maryland opener. Coming into the season, the Bears had hoped that their depth at the position (a rotation that ran six-deep) would help remedy the loss of Za...

By Andrew Maisonneuve The 2009 Chicago Bears defense line will get back to form and dominate in the NFL. If the Bears defensive line unit can stay healthy, which is extremely important, I believe that they will step up greatly improve their pass rush with coach Rod Marinelli at the wheel.

And the Bears could have some new threads, too. Team spokesman Scott Hagel said the Bears are exploring the possibility of adding a sponsorship patch to practice jerseys, a move first made by the Tennessee Titans at least a year ago. The NFL tackled ...

By Max Kienzler So, reviewing the Chicago Bears selection on the first day of the draft, they selected ... oh wait, did I miss something? Who did we pick? But I refuse to give Angelo any credit because there was no way of knowing that Johnson would not be selected by a team in the 50-64 pick range. It was just luck th...

By Brad Biggs If general manager Jerry Angelo has done one thing well in the draft, it's find defensive backs in the later rounds. Nathan Vasher, Chris Harris, Kevin Payne, Corey Graham and Todd Johnson were all selected in the fourth round... Nathan Vasher, Chris Harris, Kevin Payne, Corey Graham and Tod...

By Roman Modrowski I hope Tom Waddle's dream doesn't portend the next radio stunt, because the former Bears receiver and co-host of the "Waddle & Silvy" show on ESPN 1000 would be in even worse shape than Harry Teinowitz if he acts out his nightmare.

By Roman Modrowski I don't think there is a Bears fan alive who wishes Cedric Benson were still the running back here instead of Matt Forte. He underachieved on the field and alienated a fan base off the field. But still, I think Benson has a point when he says he wasn't treated entirely fairly in Chicago.

By Brad Biggs When the Broncos' job became available following the surprise firing of Mike Shanahan it was instantly considered the best opening for head-coaching candidates. Why? Not only is owner Pat Bowlen considered one of the better men to work for in the league, the Broncos were one of the few tea...

By Joe Zedalis Yeah, that was my fault," Urlacher said with sarcasm. "Every long touchdown we gave up this season, it was my fault. Every time a receiver caught a pass for a touchdown, it was my fault too. In Atlanta, when the guy caught that pass that allowed them to kick the field goal, that was my fault."

By chicagosports Eight months since their trip to the Super Bowl, they're 1-3, banged up in bad places, on their second quarterback, who's no better than their first quarterback, and they were just embarrassed by the Detroit Lions. Over at ESPN, it's Packers across the board, both of them.

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher was fined 100,000 by the NFL for wearing a cap during Super Bowl media day that promoted a sponsor not authorized by the league.
