Angelo on QBs, Wright and pass protection
Chicago Bears Blog | ESPN Chicago — CLEVELAND -- Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo met with the media Thursday in the press box at Browns Stadium. Here are a few highlights from that session: The Bears will keep three quarterbacks (Jay Cutler, Todd Collins, Caleb Hanie) and four tight ends (Greg Olsen, Desmond Clark, Brandon Manumaleuna, Kellen Davis) on the final 53-man roster, according to Angelo.

Chicago Bears September 2, 2010Bears look to reduce mental mistakes
Chicago Bears Blog | ESPN Chicago — LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Physical mistakes on the football field are unavoidable. It's the mental mistakes that tend to get players cut and coaches fired. Busted plays, blown assignments, bad reads, poor communication; the Bears experienced every sort of mental breakdown possible against Arizona. Luckily, it's still the preseason, but time is of the essence. "I had a bunch of them, so let's start with me," Bears veteran Desmond Clark said Monday. "I made some easy, simple mistakes, stuff that we can't tolerate or accept if we want to be a good team. But we'll be able to focus in and gets thi...

Chicago Bears August 26, 2010Clark's new Bears duties anything but a snap
Bears Blog | Chicago Breaking Sports — By Brad Biggs You are going to have to watch an awful lot of football to see a kicker called for intentional grounding again. That is what happened when the Bears' Robbie Gould wound up with the ball on a 38-yard field goal attempt that was botched Saturday night when fill-in long snapper Desmond Clark bounced the snap to holder Brad Maynard. Gould just threw the ball away, resulting in a 14-yard penalty. Clark botched the first two snaps for kicks, one on an extra point, and was also off on a punt snap as he was forced into duty with Pat Mannelly sidelined with a neck stinger suffered last...
Chicago Bears August 22, 2010Pompei: 2nd-quarter Bears-Raiders observations
Bears Blog | Chicago Breaking Sports — The Bears lead the Raiders 14-13 at the half. Here are some of my observations so far. • Never knew the Bears' MVP was long snapper Patrick Mannelly. He's out with a neck stinger. • I wasn't even sure how to spell his name. • It's a good thing Desmond Clark can run, catch and block because he sure can't long snap. • Can any of our readers long snap? • Jay Cutler's teammates aren't giving him a lot of help tonight. Between catchable balls that have been dropped (four) and pass rushers getting free, it's been tough for Cutler to complete a pass. He di...
