Chicago Bears 20th pick is Kyle Long

By Joseph Zalewski

Chicago Bears with the 20th pick selected Kyle Long. Chicago passed up Tyler Eifert, Manti Teo and Alec Ogletree. What I find intersting about this pick is I dont think to many people expected this pick. Kyle Long has Chicago ties a former White Sox draft pick. But I do belive it not a bad pick I just wish Chicago toke Tyler Eifert to give Jay Cutler more weapons. But clearly Marc Trestman was serious when he said he wants to protect the QB. Kyle Long son of Fall of famer Howie Long. He did play baseball and football so he is one hell of a athlete. Phil Emery with another surprise pick last year he shocked Chicago with Shea McCleain and now another shocker with Kyle Long. It is to early to tell wheather it a good or bad pick all I can say is Bear Down and if  Kyle helps us win a Superbowl no one will be complaining.

Emery Who should we pick?

Eifert Ogletree or Teo?

Who should Chicago take at number 20 tomorrow night? That is a question alot of us fans have been asking since the end of the season. I think one of these 3 player are likely headed to our city. First up lets look at Tyler Eifert Notre Dame Tight End. This would be very intresting if Chicago takes him at 20 and if he is still on the board at 20. Eifert and Bennett would make a very intresting TE combination and give Chicago a two legit middle of the field threats. I believe Tyler will be gone at number 20 but if he's there take him he's is one of the best TE in the draft this year just look at the numbers. Tyler Eifert his Senior year with the Irish he had 50 receptions for 685 yards and 4 Touchdowns. This kid can definetly help Chicago who has been not to good on the offensive side of the ball. Now up Alec Ogletree LB Georgia Chicago has a huge need at LB with the lose of Nich Roach who went to Okland, and unable to resign Brain Urlacher. Alec Ogletree best way to describe his is a beast. Alec is 6'3 237 pounds and could definetly help Chicago at LB just look at the numbers. 112 Tackles 2 Sacks 1 Interceptions and 4 Passes Defended this guy is a beast. Alec Ogletree could be Chicago's 20th pick with ease. Look anyone who takes thats spot at LB has huge shoes to fill Chicago LB history is well documented. And last but not least Manti Teo LB Notre Dame in mayocks mock draft he had Chicago taking Teo. Teo is one hell of a player i am not gonna says hes not great he is. And i think he is a very good player but what worrys me about Teo is him being a distraction. Teo was the runner up to the Heisman when you have a year like Manti did you should be a ease top 10 pick. But then all the stuff with the fake girlfriend came out and his draft stock fell and he got a bunch of national media about his fake girlfriend. But either way Chicago has worked on TEo so lets look at the numbers. 103 tackles 1 sack 7 Interceptions and 4 passes defended. Listen if Chicago got him at 20 I would be inbetween about it cause i know we got one hell of a player but kinda mad about him being a distraction for a first time head coach. So who do you all see Chicago going with Eifert Ogletree or Teo? We will find out tomorrow the Draft is here Chicago Bear Down. 

 



Chicago NFL Draft 2013

By Joseph Zalewski

The Chicago Bears are just days away from the 2013 NFL Draft. Chicago has the 20th, 50th, 117th, 153rd, and 188th pick this year. Notable Chicago has no 3rd round pick this year they traded it away to Miami for the trade with Brandon Marshall. that being said Chicago has the one of the fewest pick in the draft this year so every pick is going to have to count. Phil Emery has done a great job since becoming GM and I expect him to do what is best for Chicago when in reguards to the draft. Chicago like I said has the 20th pick in the first round. Chicago has needs a LB, OL and DL I could easily see Chicago taking anyone of those positions in the first round. But Emery has also said some teams have shown intrerest in trading Chicago for the 20th pick. I do think it is something worth considering since Chicago having one of fewest pick in this years draft. If the best player available does not fit a major need for Chicago i can see Chicago trading it to get more picks. Pick 50th i can see Chicago going any number of ways in round 2 WR, LB,OL,DL,CB,TE anyone of these are a possiablity for Chicago, has a need for WR with the retirement of Johnny Knox and Devin Hester going back to being a returner only. Linebacker with the lose of Brian Urlacher and Nick Roach Chicago has a need at Linebacker. Offensive Line Chicago has not protected Jay Cutler well at all and as Chicago attempts to build that new look line a Linemen is never a bad pick. Defensive Line Chicago lost a bit of there D-Line rotation its all about getting to the QB so getting someone who can pressure the QB is never a bad thing. Corner Back Tilman is getting old and in a division with Arron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford a cornerback could definitely help. TE I do hear Chicago might be intrested in the Tight End from Notre Dame, having two Tight ends who could catch and block would make Chicago a very hard team to defend kinda like the Patriots. Again no pick in round 3 cause of the trade for Brandon Marshall. Pick 117th 4th round Chicago i would think would go OL,DL,CB,DB,WR. In these later rounds you are look for those hidden gems. Chicago new linemen Bushrod was a hidden gem for New Orleans lets hope Phil Emery can find a few gems toward these last few rounds. Pick 153rd like i said hidden gems but go with what you need OL,DL,CB,DB,WR. Pick 153rd i would not mind going with a QB to back up Cutler maybe Jordan Rodger, Jay knows him well both went to vandy and Cutler helped him coming up and Joradn is jsut a great athlete and has a chip on his shoulder. Plus with Cutler being one hit away from retirement with all his concussions history its not a bad pick. Now only a few days before we welcome the newest Chicago Bears enjoy the draft everyone and BEARDOWN.

Chicago Bears 2013-2014 Schedule

2013-2014 Schedule Break Down

By Joseph Zalewski

The 2013-2014 schedule has been released and i am gonna break down every opponent for the Chicago Bears this season.

Week 1 Chicago opens up against Cincinnati Bengals, they were a playoff team last year and a very good test for the Chicago to start the season. They have a very good duo in Andy Dalton and AJ Green and there defence is decent to. Like i said this is gonna be a good early test for the Chicago and new head coach Marc Trestman. I see Chicago taking home the win first game at home and i think Chicago will be looking to make a statement early.

Week 2 Chicago will play host to NFC North Rival Minnesota Vikings, another team that was a playoff team last year. As any rivals do there is bad blood between these two teams this should be a very good game. And a very physical game especially when you are facing Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen I look for the Chicago to run the ball and take a bitt for revenge for losing to Minnesota late last year which ultimately cost Chicago a chance at the playoffs. I think Chicago wins this one close to start out 2-0 to start the season.

Week 3 Is very intersting Chicago goes to Pittsburg to play the Steelers. This is a very intersting game for more than a few reasons, one Pittsburg had a very difficult season last year. Big Ben was very different from past years fumbling the football throwing Interceptions its seemed like anything that could go wrong for Pittsburg did last year I think they are gone be more like the Pittsburg we have seen in the past but the lose of Mike Wallace is gonna be something they will need to overcome I see Chicago winning on the road to contine to a 3-0 record

Week 4 Chicago vists the Detriot Lions, they were a team that was not very good last year. They were bad Stafford throwing interceptions, the Defensive Line not getting to the QB, secondary got burned to much, the only bright spot was Calvin Johnson. Chicago and Detriot have had some very good battles over the past few years. But i see Chicago going into Detriot and winning when you have Tilman shuting down Johnson almost everytime is hard not to pick Chicago. I like Chicago to go 4-0 to start the season

Week 5 Chicago to play host to the New Orlean Saints, last year the Saints showed how much they missed Sean Payton. I think they are going to be the Saints of old this year. And are going to be a very hard test for Chicago even at home. I honestly do think the Saints come in and beat Chicago at home and end Chicago unbeaten streak to put Chicago at 4-1.

Week 6 Chicago to play host to the New York football Giants. The Giants were a huge dissapointment last year winning the Superbowl and not even making the playoffs last year. I think they got rid of a few player who made them good but thats what happens when you win a Superbowl you have to get rid of a few player like it or not. I think they will be very motivated this year and get back to getting to the QB and relaying on Eli Manning I think this one can honestly go either way but I see Chicago losing on a short week to to 4-2 on the season.

Week 7 Chicago goes up to Washington to play RG3 and the Redskins. Redskins shocked alot of people last year making the playoffs but the season could not have ended any worse then it did. Losing RG3 to injury in the playoff. RG3 is currently still rehabbing from injury and should be playing by week 7. I can honestly say just like the Giants this one can go either way but I see Chicago pulling it out on the road to go 5-2 on the season.

Week 8 Chicago has a bye middle of the season great time for the bye. Hopefully rest some guys who might be sore at this point in the season, and get ready for the rest of the season and hopefully the post season as well.

Week 9 Chicago travels up the Greenbay to play the Packers. This is a game every Chicago Bears fan circles every year. Last year Greenbay made the playoffs and won the NFC North. There are a very good team and the team to beat in the north. Chicago needs to win one there games against greenbay this year to even have a shot at winning the north. But saddly I think Chicago makes it close but loses on the road against the hated Greenbay Packers. To advance to 5-3 on the season.

Week 10 Chicago plays host to the Detriot Lions in the final game between these two teams this year, I think Chicago sweeps this series this year and wins both games against Detriot this season. Deriot needs to clean up the small thing but who knows detriot could be alot better but i still think Chicago is gonna be alot better Offensively, and wins to go to 6-3.

Week 11 Chicago plays host to last years Superbowl Champions the Baltimore Ravens. This team well like I just said won the Superbowl last year but have had cap room problem after signing Flacco to that huge contract. I think the Chicago at home is gonna win this one and advance to 7-3 on the season.

Week 12 Chicago goes up to St Louis to play the Rams. The Rams are going to be much improved this season, but i just dont think they can keep up with Chicago. I think Chicago comes in and wins a a very physical game to improve to 8-3 on the season.

Week 13 Chicago travels up to Minnesota to play the Vikings. I think this one is gonna be a even more physical game then the first time they meet this season. But I do think Minnestoa wins at home to tie Chicago in the season series. Chicago moves to 8-4 on the season.

Week 14 Chicago will play host to the Dallas Cowboys. Dallas missed the playoffs on the last game of the season again. Tony Romo just got a huge contract and better start playing like a franchise QB or Dallas might just run him out of town. These two teams have played the last few years Chicago won both games and i dont see that changing. Chicago wins to improve to 9-4 on the season.

Week 15 Chicago travels up to Cleveland to play the Browns. The Browns are gonna be better this season but still not a match for Chicago. I think Chicago wins this one to improve to 10-4 on the season.

Week 16 Chicago travels to Philadelphia to play the Eagles. The Eagles have new head coach Chip kelly and will be much improved but i think Chicago wins this one they have won against the eagles the last few year and i see that trend continuing. Chicago moves to 11-4 on the season.

Week 17 Chicago host Greenbay in the last game of the season. I think Chicago goes into the post season with a win over the packers to win the NFC North. I think Chicago can not lose this game they need to win one of the games against Greenbay and i think they win on the last game of the season to win the divison and finish the season at a record of 12-4

Bears Should Avoid Manti Teo

By Joseph Zalewski

Bears Should Avoid Manti Teo

 

Manti Teo Linebacker Notre Dame this is a name by this point everyone in the sports world has heard of Teo at one point of another. Teo had one hell of year for the Irish resulting in a undefeated season and a apperance for the Irish at the BCS title game. Then all the stuff about Manti Teos imaginary girlfriend came out. Leading me to question is that why he missed so many tackle and plays during the Championship game. But in any case when it comes to Teo and the Bears who have the number 20 pick in the upcoming draft. I think the Chicago should avoid Teo. One reason why Chicago and Teo should avoid each other is simple distraction. Yes distraction Teo with all the stuff about his girlfriend is gonna be a huge distraction to what ever team drafts him. Futhermore at this point drafting Teo would be like drafting Tim Tebow ask the jets how well that went. Plus with a first year head coach in Marc Trestman Chicago must avoid distractions and focus on winning games. Not only is Teo going to be a distraction, but there are also questions about his mental focus. If Teo was dealing with the hoax during the title game, and played badly cause of it I have questions about his metal focus. In the NFL you will be dealing with alot more then that on a regular bacis. Plus Teo and chicago are bad fits for each other, Chicago is trying to replace a legend and futrue Hall of Famers Brian Urlacher. Urlacher has been the face of the team for the last decade. Teo coming in trying to replace Urlacher is a bad fit for both sides. So Chicago when number 20 comes up on draft day stay away from Manti Teo!!!!!
