Cowboys can't stand up to Bears blitz
As a rule, the Bears' defensive scheme may be the most predictable in the NFL. But coordinator Rod Marinelli and the boys stepped out of character a bit Monday. They blitzed on nearly 23 percent of Tony Romo's dropbacks, mostly in the first half. It was...

Bears new receiver has standout potential
The Bears appear to have received excellent value in acquiring Brandon Marshall for two third-round draft picks and there's little doubt he can make the Bears offense more dynamic and proficient.
But it's not all sunshine and seashells with this import...Tags: NFL Pro Bowl, Matt Forte, Roy Williams, National Football League, Sports

Urlacher hurt, but offense feels the pain
Isn’t this where we came in with the Bears almost six months ago? Brian Urlacher was coming back from a knee injury suffered in the final game of last season. His status and abilities were in question as he missed chunks of training camp reps....

Technique crucial in exhibition opener
The initial exhibition game on the NFL schedule should be viewed as an extension of training camp in the evaluation process, a "scrimmage" in which established vets run their base schemes and rookies see the majority of the reps against pro competition...

It's time for Cutler to become Manning's equal
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — If the third exhibition is a porthole to the regular season, Jay Cutler is going to be a disappointment. In the Bears' 20-17 victory over the Giants on Friday night, his performance paled next that of Eli Manning, who had...

Bears exposed as fake contender
Some people say the worst thing you can call a football player is soft. The Bears were soft against San Francisco. Soft and unprepared. Soft and unresponsive. Soft and stupid. They met the 49ers’ toughness with all manner of embarrassing...

Cutler stays up, but Bears' offense a downer
On his first chance in the exhibition season, Roy Williams dropped a third-and-10 pass that would’ve picked up 16. While he gets into football shape, can he also get into catching shape?
No, wait, I think one of the guys with a reputation for drops...Tags: Matt Forte, Roy Williams, Maurice Jones-Drew, Sports, Mike Ditka

Bears need more than caddie for Cutler
Nobody can tell much about a team based on the first minicamp practice of a coach's tenure held indoors five months before the season opener. But one thing jumped out immediately after watching the Bears usher in the Marc Trestman era Tuesday at the...

In big games, Cutler too often comes up small
Forget, for a moment, that Jay Cutler might not exactly be Alexander the Great in the leadership department. Let's focus on the fact he had another performance meltdown last week in one of the biggest games he will play this season. No one, it seems,...

Marshall doesn't worry about drops
BOURBONNAIS — The savior receiver had a couple of drops on the first day of camp. While that is not reason to start looking for the next savior, it is reason to examine the appendages at the ends of Brandon Marshall's arms. You might have heard...

Cutler usually rebounds well from poor games
The Jay Cutler-J'Marcus Webb controversy may wind up being a bigger problem for the Rams than it has been for the Bears. The key figures involved in last Thursday night's incident, celebrity quarterback Cutler and social media butterfly Webb, always...

What will it take for Bears offense to take off?
It's understandable if the hype of a potential Super Bowl matchup one week, followed by a prospective NFC championship showdown the next, seems highly relevant midway through a season. But really, it's only hype. Getting to the real NFC championship...
