Jared Allen setting tone for Bears defense
The Chicago Bears made a splash in free agency landing pass rushing defensive end Jared Allen and his impact is being felt almost immediately.
Despite his age, Allen (32), says being a situational pass rusher isn't in his immediate plans with the team and he believes he's still a three down lineman and plans to play as many snaps as possible.
Allen wants to lead by example...

Lamarr Houston: Dedicated to Pass Rushing
Posted to Monsters of the MidwayCHICAGO — With the addition of Lamarr Houston the Chicago Bears made a statement, the defense needed an overhaul and they were willing to spend the money to do just that. Houston signed a 5-year, $35 million dollar contract with $15 million guaranteed.
Not chump change, especially for a player who just 16 career sacks; however, Houston just turned...

DE Jared Allen already having positive impact for Bears
Jared Allen isn’t trying to be a leader. The Bears already have linebacker Lance Briggs and cornerback Charles Tillman for that.
So Allen prefers to sell himself as a new guy just trying to contribute, not as the Pro Bowl defensive end with the extroverted personality.
Still, Allen’s impact, only one day into training camp, is palpable. Teammates and coaches already are lauding...

Charles Tillman’s training camp dorm room looks straight out of a hovel (photo)
If the training camp experience wasn’t bad enough for the average NFL player. Practices in sweltering heat, cafeteria food (sometimes) and for some teams, the players are forced to fit in a cramped dormitory. Given the average NFL player is moderately wealthy (if not flat-out insanely rich) and more-than-above-average in size, the typical college dorm […] The post Charles Tillman’s...
