Preseason Ponderings

Well the Bears won 10-3 in a scrappy penalty filled first pre-season game against the Bills. Some good some bad, pretty much what ya expect from a first exhibition game especially with such a short camp.



The OL was horrible. 9 sacks against a pretty poor Bills team. J'Marcus Webb was not good in his first action at LT with drug free Shawn Merriman simply pushing him aside. Garza was poor at C and Spencer should start seeing time there.

khalil Bell & Marion Barber had outstanding days. Barber had runs of 11, 15 & 11 & Bell led the team with 73 yards. Harvey Unga saw time in the 4th & ran hard. Taylors time could be over.




It was strange seeing big plays from a number 91 but Okoye had an impressive debut & Melton continued to impress. Wouldn't surprise meto see Melton starting week 1.
Corey Wootton got hurt on the opening kick-off & saw no further action in the game.

Rookie Kris Adams had an impressive game with 2 great catches & rookie S Michael Holmes had an int to top of a nice game.


Johnny Knox showed why he'll see time on KR this year blazing a 70 yard return while Earl Bennett had a 33 yard PR. The Bears are very stacked at returner







Sam Hurd caused a fumble on a kick return but it was nullified by a penalty.

Robbie Gould missed 2 field goals & the special teams unit as a whole had numerous penalties lets hope it's just a matter of gettiing used to new rules & a new holder.

Looking forward to the Giants game to see if the RB's can have another good game & the OL improves any.
