Notes, Scribbles, and Things Jotted Down: Eagles Edition

For every playmaker the Chicago Bears have, there seem to be three bozos who can't do their job. And even when we see some things go right for our football team, at the end of the day, we are who we found out we w...

Bright spots in Bears' loss: turnovers, forced fumbles, Kahlil Bell

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:45:56 -0500

CHICAGO -- Although the Bears surrendered way too many yards on the ground to Eagles running back LeSean McCoy, the defense did force three turnovers and played a respectable second half. "We had some little mistakes on those first two drives, but after that we settled down," Zack Bowman said. "We went out and got it corrected, and just went out and did our jobs." Bowman, who picked off Donovan McNabb in the second quarter, has intercepted a pass in three consecutive gam...

Take it away

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:32:30 -0500

CHICAGO -- Finally, the Bears defense got back to forcing turnovers in bunches, coming up with five in the win over Cleveland. "Just running to the ball, that helped out a lot," Danieal Manning said. "Just trusting in the scheme, that puts you in good positions, so that's what we played." Manning played a big part in the defensive revival, as the versatile defensive back was responsible for two take-aways. He made a beautiful diving interception in the opening quarter,...

Bears-Steelers pregame notes

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 12:57:11 -0500

Arrived at Solider Field around 10:45 am. After spending a little time taking stock of the situation, here are a few more pregame thoughts as the Bears prepare to face the defending Super Bowl champions. Can the Bears match the Steelers' intensity for 60 minutes? I'd be shocked if Lovie Smith fails to have this team ready at the opening kickoff, but Pittsburgh plays such a grueling style of football that fatigue might play a factor in the second half. Expect Ben Rothlisberger to tes...

Danieal Manning To Be The Free Safety Come Sunday

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 17:59:22 -0500

According to Larry Mayer of Chicagobears.com, FS Danieal Manning will get the start on Sunday over Kevin Payne. Here’s what Mayer said on his blog this afternoon: Danieal Manning told reporters after practice Friday that he expects to start at free safety in Sunday’s home opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The fourth-year pro opened training camp at [...]

Manning replaces Payne

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:35:20 -0500

Danieal Manning will return to the starting lineup this week at free safety, with Kevin Payne grabbing a seat on the bench and rookie Al Afalava holding on to the strong safety job. Manning started training camp as the No. 1 free safety, but a hamstring injury that sidelined him for three weeks relegated him to the nickel back position on passing downs. Now that he’s 100 percent, Manning will start at free safety but switch to the nickel spot, with Payne coming in at free safety. Also, althou...

The Starting Safeties For Week One Will Be?

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 14:51:23 -0500

The Bears started Kevin Payne and Al Afalava at safety through the preseason, maybe because Danieal Manning was out with an injury, but maybe not. Lovie Smith has confirmed that he will use Danieal at kick returner and nickelback this season, but before his injury this preseason, he was said to be the starter at free safety. The Bears have loved what they've seen from sixth round pick Al Afalava at strong safety, and Kevin Payne at free safety. They both have looked good in the...

Bowman, Manning Back

Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:06:27 -0500

Danieal Manning and perhaps more importantly Zack Bowman returned to Bears practice Monday. Question with Bowman is for how long? The second-year corner has excited coaches with his play in his one game appearance in 2008 as well as his performance in OTA’s and early in camp. Problem is it seems his next injury is [...]

Danieal Manning Plays Safety, Remember That??

Wed, 29 Jul 2009 13:01:40 -0500

A few years back the Bears drafted a safety out of Abilene Christian. His name was Danieal Manning and he did a pretty good job for two years. Then all of a sudden the coaching staff decided that Manning would better serve the defense as a nickel back and the great Kevin Payne (or Craig [...]

Does a Championship Validate your Career?

Tue, 16 Jan 2007 21:59:57 -0500

Absolutely, I am getting disgusted with people who go out and say that not winning a championship does not diminish your legacy of a player. Um ya it does. What's the goal of a football season again? Make the Probowl right? No how about holding up that shiny football on a pole at the end of the year.
