Raiders clearly executed their draft plan in the right direction

2013-04-28 00:04:02

ALAMEDA, Calif. _ In the past, one of the best parts of the NFL draft was listening to analysts go delirious over a selection by the Raiders. A reach, a stretch or any other synonym for a bad pick was the norm when it came to the Raiders. The only...

NFL draft preview: Running backs

2013-04-10 18:17:00

This running back class has a little depth, but very little top-end talent. In fact, scouts agree this could be the first draft in 50 years in which no running back is chosen in the first round. Alabama's Eddie Lacy appears to be the only first-round...

Bears' forecast suddenly cloudy

2012-11-25 18:22:00

There was bright sunshine at Soldier Field on Sunday, as much as we've seen at any game this year. It was considerably darker in the bowels of the stadium in the back room where injured players are laid on tables and poked and prodded, tested, X-rayed...

As bodies fall, Bears stand up

2012-11-25 14:24:00

A response was demanded. A big response. The Bears needed to answer a bad, weak effort in San Francisco with a solid, physical game against visiting Minnesota. And they provided it in a tough and vicious game that required it. After the usual...

Cutler helps himself with fancy footwork

2012-11-26 19:45:00

The player most responsible for keeping Jay Cutler clean Sunday was Jay Cutler. The quarterback did a number of things well. What he did best was avoid pressure. Cutler moved in the pocket before throwing six times. Cutler also rolled out four times....

Packers prep for playoffs after knocking out Bears

2013-01-03 19:16:00

Instead of watching the Packers in a wild-card playoff game Saturday night, you could have been watching the Bears. All the Bears needed to still be playing was for the Packers to beat the Vikings on Sunday when they were three-point favorites. How...

Packers 3-4 defense difficult for Bears to digest

2012-12-15 13:23:00

The Bears offense has been having a difficult enough time hitting a fastball. And along come the Packers with a nasty curve. Three-four defenses like the Packers use have been a problem for the Bears this year, in part because they are different....

If Bears can't gain half-yard, they deserve to lose

2012-12-02 17:22:00

Lovie Smith was wrong. About being wrong, that is. The situation: The Bears had a seven-point lead and were faced with a fourth-and-half-a-yard to go on the Seahawks' 15 on their first possession of the second quarter. To the delight of the...

Roster mismanagement could be Bears' downfall

2012-12-25 17:32:00

The franchise of Walter Payton, Gale Sayers and Red Grange could become the attack of Kahlil Bell, Armando Allen and maybe even Harvey Unga on Sunday at Detroit. Unga is on the practice squad and Bell has already been signed off the street and moved...

Jeffery still learning the tricks of the trade

2012-12-22 13:26:00

When the Packers effectively took away Brandon Marshall last week, Plan B was big rookie Alshon Jeffery. Jay Cutler threw to Jeffery nine times, including in the end zone from the 1-yard line on fourth down. The Bears didn't have a single completion...

Bears position analysis: Running back

2013-02-06 06:02:00
