This is the highest we have picked in the draft in a long time. It stands to reason that this would be the best draft in years. Just sayin'.

Cris Brown is reporting that Reggie Corner has been the most productive corner in camp. Although he hasn't had as many interceptions as some, he has more pass breakups than anyone. Just thought I'd mention this since you didn't bring up his name. Our secondary is looking pretty good all around. The line is looking incredibly dominant and there should be some exciting plays on this side of the ball this year. As a result, I think there will be an increase in sacks and interceptions. I also think there will be a decrease in rush yards allowed. All in all, it does look like there is a lot to be optimistic about with the D.

News without a source is not news. Moran doesn't have a thing or this would be all over the media. He'd better be careful. Merriman isn't afraid of suing someone.

Gailey has reason to be confident.

Four pages because Vick has a conspiracy theory? Really?

He came out of practice to have a trainer look at his ankle, but then went right back to practice. Took a couple of minutes tops. I wouldn't read too much into it.

Yeah

One word, "No".......Direct, to the point, and absolutely no hesitation when answering. That is what a coach does. What did you expect?

If Levitre does ok at Center, Hang could get some reps at guard. I think the coaches are just experimenting.

Everything I have read about this guy has been positive with exception of his off season surgery. Brees seems to be taking it kinda hard. Linky

Injury prone? Lets not jump to conclusions.

This might be the break Buddy has been looking for.

I liked how he chuckled when he was asked how it felt to be back. He sounds genuinely happy to be playing football again.

4-3? 3-4? It's funny how we make such a big deal out of this. Also of note is how Carrington is playing OLB at 300+lbs. The coaching staff is clearly looking to stop the run and put pressure on the passer with these moves. The positions these guys are playing has less to do with the scheme(3-4, 4-3) than it does with maximizing individual player talents. Kelsay sticking a hand on the ground so he can get low and gain leverage is what he is good at. Carrington is big but also fast so he can play OLB and contain the run. Darius, Williams and Merriman all playing next to each other so they can use their disruptive skills to crush plays at or behind the line of scrimmage. All this means is that the coaches are trying to use their skills where they are most effective. It's about not getting lassoed into a specific scheme really.

What reluctance? The D was a bigger priority. You can bet your a$$ he wanted at least one more tackle as well. Just didn't work out that way.

You are reading into it too much. The Bears OL is bad, simply because.....the bears OL is bad.

I noticed that about Fitz's throwing motion too. While growing up, I got a lot of comments about the way I throw a baseball(3/4). Not side arm, but not overhand either. The thing is, overhand never felt natural but I was more accurate and more powerful that way. Fitz does find ways to move the chains though, so as long he performs I can overlook how odd he looks.

The Bear's offensive line is bad.

No, I think Thigpen will do fine. I just want to see what Levi can do with at least a few starters. We obviously weren't watching the same game. Levi was running for his life on nearly every play. He couldn't even complete a three step drop without having a defender in his face. I wouldn't say start Levi over Tyler, but for god's sake, give the guy someting to work with. If you are trying to get rid of the ball before you can complete a three step drop because otherwise you are going to get creamed, how in the hell are you supposed to have good mechanics? This is Levi's second season with the Bill's and he has had time to get used to the receivers but he isn't being given at least a credible OL to work with. I think Tyler will likely beat him but Levi deserves at least a plausible shot to see where he stands.

I'd also like to see Levi with a few more tools to work with. The line he was behind was getting destroyed embarrassingly fast.

I think their defenses are salivating at our weak offensive line.

Easley has to stop getting injured. If he can stay on the field he will be the one.

I have been following camp pretty closely and have noticed that there have been a lot of balls under-thrown/over-thrown when going to Lee in particular. I have also noticed that Stevie is getting more tosses than Lee. It just seems Fitz and Lee were not connecting as efficiently as the younger guys. I am in no way insinuating that this has been Lees fault, but I can see how the coaches and front office would feel like the younger players are deserving of chance. Chris Brown has reported that Lee wanted the trade and under those circumstances the decision becomes an easy one. This front office does not appear to want to keep guys on this team if they do not want to be here. I see this trade as a way for both Lee and the Bills to get, at the very least, something out of it. I was outraged at first, and I thought this was strictly a management decision that came down and surprised everyone, including Lee. At the end of the day maybe this was the best move available. Good luck, Lee. We will miss you, but forgive me if I don't cry over your leaving. Moving on.

OK, you guys are reaching here.
