I kind of doubt Floyd running around in a tshirt improved
Young's stock. Young proved last year he was on the way back
from his injury. Having Young in place gives us time to develop
Floyd, but I am hoping his performance continues to climb. What
team out there says we have too many pass rushers?! Not one
ever...

I think the issue wasn't the Bears appreciation for Young- it
was Young's appreciation for the Bears - more specifically their
defensive setup. As the year went on Young proved that he could
succeed in a 3-4 and now maybe both sides are agreeable to
extending his stay.
I like our front 7 now. Sure you'd probably like an additional
proven 3-4 DE and maybe another backup NT (not sure why they let
Gaston go) but we should now have adequate depth at DE, MLB and
OLB.
With the additions at safety we have depth but you never know
with rookies.
CB is still kind of scary - I have a feeling we'll be watching
the waiver wires for quite a while.

As for the backup NT I am supposing they are depending on the
development of Terry Williams. I know they liked him enough last
year to keep him on the practice squad. Its up to him to make
the active roster.

If we didn't build enough DEFENSE with F.A. and the Draft ...
then we will NEVER build enough DEFENSE with F.A. and the
Draft.

...that's why they have a draft and free agency in 2017.

Hey if Floyd doesn't work out at LB, maybe they can put him at
TE :P

JJ we just aren't going to win many 58-57 games. You need
defense too not just offense. And you don't just draft defense
every 10 years and expect it to last forever

Mel Tucker. Thank you for ruining my lunch. Chicago Bear
defense, land of the 50 burgers. Players standing around looking
at a live ball. I remember whining on the old trib board about
how bad our defense was. Hadn't a clue as to what I was talking
about.
Still don't understand the Slauson move. Total WTF as far as I'm
concerned, but then again, I went into total panic mode when
Todd Bell and Al Harris held out. Mine Gott! says I, give them
what they want! Got replaced by
a Dureson and Dent.
[/quote]
Not that it matters, and it was an extremely long time ago, but
Wasn't Harris a left end, while Dent played right end?
I loved Todd Bell. He was an extremely underrated player. But
Buddy Ryan molded a team never missed a beat.

I know it's early, but, when I hear spindley and linebacker in
the same sentence it makes me leery..
I hope like heck Kevin White brings it this season. A healthy
White with a healthy Jeffery will go a long way. Too bad Bennett
had to go. We'll see how it goes with the Pat's, if he keeps his
mouth shut and plays he'll be fine. Otherwise, he'll be looking
for another team. Pat's won't put up with it..
