Bears’ Peppers Not 100 Percent

Julius Peppers’ decline exaggerated

But in his defense, I don’t know that he had the energy to play as hard as he could possibly play.” On top of that, Trestman said he believes the rainy weather Sunday contributed to the defense’s struggles in generating more pressure. “It’s tough to rush the passer in wet weather,” Trestman said. “For both sides. It’s tough to get a pass rush with a soggy field and a wet field. It’s an advantage throwing the football.” Explanation needed: Trestman said the Bears will consult the league this week for clarification on the penalty they were assessed for 12 men on the field on a Vikings punt in the first quarter. The Bears likely had 14, maybe 15 players still on the field when the Vikings quickly snapped the ball. But Trestman seemed irked that officials placed the ball so rapidly as the Bears attempted to transition their punt return team onto the field. “The officials weren’t quite sure what was going on,” Trestman said. “When we looked at the tape from the end zone it looked like one of the officials was trying to hold up play.

Peppers’ focus on Steelers, not slow start

The free agent signing period had just begun and his agent called to tell him coach Lovie Smith was in town. Soon, Peppers was meeting him at an executive airport. Now, he’s being fitted for a Bears uniform. Peppers joined Chicago in the biggest move by a team that showed it’s fixated on contending again after missing the playoffs the past three seasons. The five-time Pro Bowl defensive end and top free agent prize agreed Friday to a six-year deal worth potentially $91.5 million. Agent Carl Carey said a record $42 million is guaranteed, with Peppers earning $20 million in the first year and $40.5 million over the first three. The deal includes incentives for sacks, making the Pro Bowl and winning Defensive Player of the Year. “It’s one thing to play football in this league and make a living, but it’s a totally different thing to come to a place with a rich tradition like the Bears,” Peppers said.

Bears stay unbeaten with 40-23 win over Steelers

Peppers Peppers productivity is a hotly debated topic in Chicago. The eight-time Pro Bowl selection failed to register a sack in either of the Bears wins against Cincinnati or Minnesota, and according to the teams official defensive stats based on coaches review, Peppers has just two total tackles and one quarterback pressure in 97 combined snaps. This week [the pass rush is] going to be improved, Peppers said. Im not interested in talking about anything from last week. My focus is on Pittsburgh and getting better. Peppers battled an illness last week that forced him to miss the Thursday practice leading up to the Minnesota game and eventually landed him on the final injury report as probable.” The 12-year NFL veteran continued to feel ill on Sunday during the Bears 31-30 victory over the Vikings, and then actually felt worse the next day on Monday, according to Bears coach Marc Trestman. However, Peppers was listed as having full participation on Wednesday. Im feeling fine.

Julius Peppers needs to show up against Vikings

The Steelers defense, meanwhile, hasn’t recorded a takeaway through 12 quarters. It’s a recipe that rarely leads to victory. “As of right now we have way too many turnovers and it goes both ways,” Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel said. “We’ve got to find ways to get the ball. That’s what great defenses do.” And none do it better than the Bears. While not the snarling force it was when recently retired linebacker Brian Urlacher was running things, the Bears make up for their lack of bark with a pretty feisty bite. When opponents get loose with the ball, the Bears swarm.

Chicago Bears: Is It Time to Worry About Julius Peppers and the Defensive Line?

But in his defense, I don’t know that he had the energy to play as hard as he could possibly play,” Trestman told Dan Weidere r of theChicago Tribune. The fact is that Peppers didn’t play many snaps in the preseason and was obviously ill heading into Week 2, so it’s easy to give him a pass thus far, but if he doesn’t produce much this week against a struggling Pittsburgh offensive line, then it may be time to worry. However, it hasn’t only been Peppers who isn’t producing. As I stated earlier, the entire line has only produced two sacks to this point and hasn’t even applied much pressure. How concerned are you about Peppers and the Bears defensive line? A. Not concerned at all, it’s only two games and they’ll get it going soon B.

Thats the mantra this week. Hes always pretty focused, and I have complete confidence hes going to come out and give us his best effort. You should have that confidence, too. After a review of the tape, the coaching staff credited Peppers for one tackle against the Bengals. But if you look at Peppers body of work, hes produced several games in which he didnt contribute much in terms of statistics, yet still finished the season with double-digit sack totals. Of the 49 regular-season games Peppers has played with the Bears, hes finished 26 of those contests with zero sacks, seven with zero tackles, and eight with only one stop. Yet with Peppers in the lineup, the Bears have compiled a record of 30-19 as he finished the 2012 season with 11 sacks or more in back-to-back seasons.

Related Stories Bears rally behind Jay Cutler to earn come-from-behind win over Bengals CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Former North Carolina football star Julius Peppers confirmed it was his academic transcript that was posted on the university’s website and insists there was “no academic fraud” with it. The Chicago Bears’ defensive end released a statement through his agent Saturday, nearly a week after a link to the transcript surfaced. “This week has been an upsetting and challenging week for me, as one of my most private academic documents appeared on the university’s website for public examination,” Peppers said. “I’m terribly disappointed in the fact that my privacy has been violated, as well as frustrated with whoever negligently and carelessly committed such a flagrant error.” The school never confirmed the authenticity of the transcript, which lists Peppers’ name at the top, but has said it is investigating how the document wound up on the website. School officials removed the link and have said they can’t discuss confidential student information covered by federal privacy laws. The link showed Peppers received some of his highest grades in classes in the Department of African and Afro-American Studies (AFAM). A school investigation has since found fraud and poor oversight in 54 AFAM classes between summer 2007 and summer 2011, with football players making up more than a third of the enrollments and student-athletes making up 58 percent of the overall enrollments in those suspect classes. “I can assure everyone that there is no academic fraud as it relates to my college transcript,” Peppers said in the statement.

Bobby Zoeller (@BobbyZoeller) September 10, 2013 After restructuring Peppers contract last week to create more cap space this season, hell now count over $18 million against the cap in 2014 and over $20 million against the cap in 2015. In the brutal NFL business, that immediately makes him vulnerable to be let go if he doesnt maintain his high level of play. Now, Sunday was just one game and Peppers missed most of the preseason with a hamstring issue, so its possible hes still trying to get back into game shape. He very well might have another Pro Bowl year, in which case the Bears might be fine with the cap hit next year. Keep in mind they have a lot of money coming off the books so they have some flexibility, although they also need to pay or franchise tag Jay Cutler and figure out what theyre doing with Henry Melton, who is playing under the tag this year.

Bears Lb Urlacher Has Knee Surgery

Urlacher, Lewis broke the mold for prototype inside linebackers

We’ve got you covered with our one-stop guide. BOURBONNAIS, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher has undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left knee and still hopes to be ready for the season opener. The Bears said that Urlacher had an arthroscopic procedure on Tuesday morning to help relieve swelling in the knee and was back at training camp by 10 a.m. He missed the offseason training program after spraining the medial collateral ligament and partially spraining the posterior cruciate ligament in the final game last season against Minnesota. “The treatment that we were giving Brian, he didn’t respond as well as we wanted it to,” coach Lovie Smith said after Tuesday’s practice. “So we had it scoped this morning, a minor scope on his knee. Everything came out the way that we wanted it to.” Urlacher was ready for the start of camp, but has not practiced since July 31 and was away from the team recently for what were described as personal reasons. Even so, he said Sunday that he expects to be ready for the opener against Indianapolis on Sept.

“Although I could continue playing, I’m not sure I would bring a level of performance or passion that’s up to my standards. When considering this, along with the fact that I could retire after 13 year career wearing only one jersey for such a storied franchise, my decision became pretty clear. “I want to thank all of the people in my life that have helped me along the way. I will miss my teammates, my coaches, and the great Bears fans. I’m proud to say that I gave all of you everything I had every time I took the field. I will miss this great game, but I leave it with no regrets.” Urlacher, who turns 35 on Saturday, was the ninth overall pick of the 2000 draft. During his 13 seasons with the Bears, Urlacher was credited with over 1,300 tackles, 41.5 sacks and 22 interceptions, including two that he returned for touchdowns.

(May 22) Lindsay H. Jones, USA TODAY Sports 8:17 p.m. EDT May 22, 2013 Chicago Bears middle linebacker Brian Urlacher announced his retirement Wednesday.

Urlacher on how he wants to be remembered

So thats what were working on right now. We wish him the best of luck at Fox Sports. Urlacher recently revealed during an interview on In Depth With Graham Bensinger that Cutler was the only ex-teammate who didnt call after the linebackers retirement on May 22. “Well, I did not hear from Jay, out of all the guys I played with, but thats just — maybe we werent as close as, like you said, as we could have been,” Urlacher said. “Thats just the way to let you know where you stand with people. But its not his job to text me, maybe thats not his thing. Thats fine. Thats the way it is. I felt like I stood up for him more than anyone else did over the last three or four years in the media. I feel bad for the guy, he takes a lot of grief from the media, too.” Cutler initially responded to Urlachers comments last week during his weekly news conference at Halas Hall by saying, No, I havent spoken to Brian.

Former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher retires

In discussing the situation, Urlacher said the team — which all along maintained it wanted to treat the former linebacker with respect — played the waiting game, and asked his representatives to submit an offer. “So we’re getting close [to the start of free agency], and they could’ve negotiated with me the whole time sites if they would’ve wanted me back to get it out of the way,” Urlacher said. “That never happened. Then in the end, they said, ‘Hey, why don’t you guys make us an offer. We don’t want to disrespect Brian in any way,’ which is basically saying right there if you think you’re gonna disrespect him, you probably are.” Urlacher’s agents ultimately submitted an offer they knew to be more than what the Bears were willing to pay, and expected the organization to get back to them promptly. Urlacher said that after “three weeks later, two weeks later” his reps made another offer, but still didn’t hear back immediately. “We just kept waiting. Then, they countered with their offer,” Urlacher said.

Urlacher: Still could be with Bears

To some degree after that, he lived off his reputation. “It’s not surprising to me that he retired, because the league retired him. He couldn’t play any more. Obviously he’s not going to say that, but it was tough to watch at the very end. He just couldn’t move very well. And in his prime, Urlacher was a high-level athlete playing middle linebacker.

Brandon Marshall Back At Practice

Brandon Marshall gives fantasy owners 113 yards, TD

I see a stronger player. He’s at an elite level for his position in terms of size, dynamic ability, production. I don’t see any back-off. Actually, I see a better player. “Obviously, he was a little frustrated about where he’s at, and he’s definitely shared that with [me]. Those are conversations that we’ve had. That’s just an athlete wanting to be elite, wanting to be the best at his game. His goal is to be the best wide receiver in the NFL on the best team. I’ve got no problems with those goals.” Although Marshall seemed to indicate last week that the staff might be pushing him too hard in his return, he dispelled that notion Monday and said Emery and coach Marc Trestman have “been really helpful.” “The thing is, it’s tough playing at a Julius Peppers Jersey high level.

Bears quotes: Bennett, Cutler, Marshall and more

He finished. I can’t speak for his comments, but what I saw on the field was a guy getting ready to play.” Marshall sat out almost the entire offseason program because of the problematic hip but was cleared to practice when the Bears reported to training camp July 24. Trestman reported no issues with Marshall’s on-field performance over the summer. Marshall, who had a third career hip procedure in January, established Bears records for receptions (118) and receiving yards (1,508) in 2012, his first season in Chicago. Marshall also caught eight touchdown passes, tied for sixth on the Bears’ single-season list. “I’m just trying to get healthy for Week 1,” Marshall said Tuesday. “So you’ve got to have a game plan coming off surgery, a third hip surgery.

Brandon Marshall diagnosed with borderline personality disorder

I mean, the way some people talk is like they did that. I would love their play to back up their talk,” Marshall said. Marshall, who brought a Charlie Brown Christmas tree to use as a prop at his weekly news conference, said he wasn’t worried about his comments winding up on bulletin boards inside the Green Bay locker room this week. Neither is coach Lovie Smith. “What Brandon Marshall is doing to stimulate our team is his play on the football field,” Smith said. “He’s performing each week at a high level. Those are the guys that are going to carry us through this last stretch.” The Bears have lost four of their last five games, have lost their lead in the NFC North to the Packers and are reeling heading into Sunday’s game at Soldier Field.

Brandon Marshall: I don’t like the Packers

I think thats a trust thing with guys that he has on the outside and the guys that he has in front of him. He feels like hey we can make a play. You dont have to stress. Its not like, you dont have guys that cant make plays for you. You just feel like, weve got a chance and Ive got all these weapons and these guys blocking in front of me, we can make something happen. So its just like, he trusts me to make a play, he trusts Brandon, he trusts the line to do their job and he can relax and just do his job. It just goes to a team effort and the coaches doing their job and everyone working hard to get better. On his shoulder and if it could be an issue going forward It was an issue today but I was still able to play. I mean, probably so.

I don’t see any back off.

Given his well-documented battle with borderline personality disorder, a condition that led to past problems on and off the field, that raised some eyebrows. Marshall dismissed those comments as little more than human nature. ”I was a little frustrated, and I’m going to be frustrated,” he said. ”I think that’s just human nature.

Brandon Marshall’s “rap sheet”

Sign up now! Brandon Marshall gives fantasy owners 113 yards, TD Travel Deals Daniel Kelley, SBNation Posted: Sunday, September 15, 2013, 5:20 PM Wide receiver Brandon Marshall caught seven passes for 113 yards and a score Sunday, as the Chicago Bears squeaked out a win over the Minnesota Vikings 31-30. Marshall averaged 16.1 yards per reception, a week after eight catches for 104 yards. He now has two scores and 20 total targets on the year. Fantasy impact: Little has changed about Marshall’s value so far in the season – he is quarterback Jay Cutler’s favorite toy, and is still one of the top handful of fantasy wide receivers in the league. With 10 targets apiece in each game this season, Marshall could maintain that pace all year and have a huge season. The Bears’ offense appears to be more balanced overall, which could give Marshall the advantage of defenses not being able to prepare for just him.

Brandon Marshall out of practice

22, 2007: Marshall was arrested in Denver and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol. He was pulled over driving the wrong way on a one-way street hours after a game. He later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability-impaired and was sentenced to one year of probation and 24 hours of community service. March 6, 2008: Marshall was arrested on charges of misdemeanor battery in Atlanta after a dispute with Watley. She told police he punched her in the mouth and eye. Marshall said he cut his hand on glass. Aug. 6, 2008: NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspended Marshall for three games for violating the leagues personal conduct policy. The suspension was reduced to one regular-season game and a fine of an additional game check, costing him $52,353.

Emery should’ve dialed down volume on Marshall

The Marshall contradiction is that he could understand adding offensive weapons in the offseason but then not be able to stand it in real life. In fact, Marshall lauded new offensive weapons and approaches so he wouldnt be triple-teamed and face more hip surgeries, and presumably so the Bears would have a greater chance to win. But Marshalls history suggests he likely will later complain he isnt getting the ball enough, and remember, he already has questioned his role in the offense. Thats why Emerys version of TLC could create more exasperation than kumbaya. One of the things about diva wide receivers is they stop talking about themselves usually only so other people can talk about them. They are the furthest players from the ball, yet they are the loudest and the neediest. Diva wideouts need to be the stars. So, thats the thing to watch: Is Marshall good to his word that winning matters more than personal stats? Marshall showed up at Halas Hall on Monday in a happier place, nothing like last weeks meltdown.

Marshall says hip ‘in amazing shape’

“By no means am I all healed or fixed,” Marshall said, “but it’s like a light bulbs been turned on in my dark room.” Tick tick In 2010 Marshall landed a $50 million contract in his home state, and married a beautiful and educated woman whom he says completes him. Life was supposed to be great. But all the luxuries and privileges meant nothing because Marshall sparingly enjoyed himself off the football field. He said he was depressed. After being scorned by so many loved ones, he was scared to trust.

Brandon Marshall misses practice because of medical appointment

I noticed last year he had Young Sr. on his jersey. Hopefully he can get his act together at least for his sons sake. May 13, 2013 7:47 PM What is up with Wideouts and their offensive psyche in the real world? Im sure Brandon will have a relapse of crazy sooner or later. As for Titus, he almost got his so called help sucking on a rifle round. Obama’s Ballsack says: May 13, 2013 7:47 PM I bet after he comes from prison he will be a real wide receiver. Did anyone catch my joke? He plays wide receiver in the NFL and chances are if he goes to prison he will be sodomized making his anus wide. Its a nice play on words.

Hes worked very hard, Trestman said. We saw that in training camp.

Weve been mindful of where hes been at with his hip, tried to measure him in practice accordingly. We did that in camp.

Simpson outperformed off-season acquisition Greg Jennings , who only managed to catch three passes for a total of 33 yards. Tight end Kyle Rudolph also figures to get more involved with the passing game as he only managed a pair of catches last week and the Bears did give up the eighth most fantasy points to tight ends last week. Chicago Bears Coach Marc Trestman looks like he has successfully transitioned to the NFL from the Canadian Football League. That seems to favor quarterback Jay Cutler , who looked steady in a 24-21 win over the Cincinnati Bengals last week. Cutler finished with 242 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception, but figures to post even better numbers against Minnesota this week. As Cutler goes, so goes his teammates.

Chicago Bears: What You Need To Know Heading Into Week 3

While the Bears are busy game-planning for their opponent, here are something things you need to know heading into Week 3. Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Matt Forte Looks to Add Name to Bears’ Record Books After running for 90 yards on 19 carries and gaining 71 receiving yards on 11 catches in Week 2, Matt Forte has gained over 250 yards from scrimmage in the team’s first two weeks. He improved on his rushing total from Week 1 (50 yards) as well as his receiving yards (41), and he will look to cement his name in the Bears record books, as he needs just 96 more yards to join Walter Payton and Neal Anderson as the only players in franchise history with 8,000 career yards from scrimmage. Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Corey Wootton and Shea McClellin Continue to Compete for Starting DE Spot A week after starting and notching his first sack of the season, Corey Wootton was replaced by Shea McClellin as the starter at defensive end opposite of Julius Peppers in Week 2. McClellin registered the Bears’ only sack of Christian Ponder during the fourth quarter on Sunday afternoon. Despite getting the start, McClellin was on the field for 42 snaps compared to Wootton’s 52, and Wootton has more snaps on the season (85) than McClellin (73). Both players have had their share of ups and downs so far this season, but it appears that Wootton will continue to get the majority of the reps, regardless of whether or not he is the starter. David Banks/Getty Images TE Martellus Bennett’s Shoulder Should Not Be a Problem Following the Bears’ win on Sunday, tight end Martellus Bennett told reporters, per CBS Chicago :”Just trying to make a play and I messed up my shoulder.

50th anniversary: The Bears honored members of the 1963 world championship team prior to Sundays game. That team, coached by George S. Halas, finished with a record of 11-1-2, and outscored opponents 301-154. Offensive line still developing: Chicagos Week 1 performance provided encouraging signs about the offensive lines future, but the Vikings gave the Bears somewhat of a reality check. Coming off the edge, Jared Allen blasted left tackle Jermon Bushrod into Matt Forte , and sacked Cutler for an 8-yard loss, causing the quarterback to fumble. Brian Robison scooped up the loose ball and scored from 61 yards out to tie the score at 14. Although sacked only once, Cutler was under duress, especially in the second quarter. Theres room to grow.

Emery, obviously understanding that most high-strung offenses have a big, athletic tight end as a major component of it, made sure to fill a need. He signed Martellus Bennett to a reasonable contract, and it paid huge dividends on Sunday. The Bears are obviously far from being as perfect as their record indicates. The pass rush is non existent. Cutler is still as prone to boneheaded mistakes as ever, despite playing well for the most part. And outside of Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey, the Bears donat appear to have a legitimate wide receiver outside of those two. But all of that is moot at this point, to an extent. Emery has proven that he is paying attention, which is an upgrade in itself compared to Jerry Angelo. If the Bears have a problem at a certain position this year, you better believe itas going to be fixed by next year. Martellus Bennett was a beast on Sunday.

Locker Room Buzz: Chicago Bears

Emery first shook hands with Lance Briggs before congratulating Jon Bostic and hugging James Anderson . From there, Emery spoke individually with Eric Weems , Alshon Jeffery , Brandon Marshall and Robbie Gould . Board messages: On a dry-erase board, the Bears detailed the schedule for Sundays matchup. In black, typewritten letters, the board read: 11:55 Introduction (offense), 11:58 national anthem, 12:00 coin toss, 12:02 kickoff. Finally, in handwritten letters in marker read the words Bear Down, which is exactly what the team did in rallying from a six-point deficit in the final 3:15. Symptomatic: Still fully dressed in uniform nearly an hour after players had already left, rookie Kyle Long sat at his locker trying to describe the teams roller-coaster ride of a game. He compared it to being ill. You have a certain number of symptoms, Long said. We had our diarrhea.

Chicago Bears: Devin Hester takes anger out on Vikings

But he was also intercepted twice and got stripped by Jared Allen on a sack, leading to a 61-yard touchdown return for Brian Robison in the second quarter. Devin Hester returned five kickoffs for a Bears-record 249 yards – including a 76-yarder and an 80-yarder. Bennett had 76 yards receiving and two touchdowns. Brandon Marshall had seven catches for 113 yards and a touchdown. Matt Forte chipped in with 71 yards receiving and 90 yards rushing. Minnesota’s Cordarrelle Patterson returned the opening kickoff 105 yards to tie a club record. Christian Ponder threw for 227 yards, a touchdown and an interception after getting picked off three times in a season-opening loss to Detroit. Adrian Peterson ran for 100 yards, but the Vikings (0-2) remained winless at Soldier Field since 2007. They looked as if they might pull this one out after two 13-play drives led to 28-yard field goals by Walsh, turning a 24-21 halftime deficit into a 27-24 advantage in the fourth quarter.

Briggs realizes Bears toeing thin line after rallying twice to start season at 2-0

16, 2013 at 06:22 a.m. 0 Likes | 0 Comments CHICAGO — Rick Casares, a star running back for the Chicago Bears who was once their all-time leading rusher, has died. He was 82. The Bears reported on their website that he died at his home in Tampa, Fla., on Friday. A five-time Pro Bowl pick and a member of the 1963 championship team, Casares played 10 seasons in Chicago and ran for 5,675 yards. He was the Bears ‘ all-time leading rusher until Walter Payton surpassed him and currently ranks third.

It would help if they got more from their pass rush, starting this week at Pittsburgh, and that largely hinges on a healthy Julius Peppers. He’s been a nonfactor so far and the Bears have just two sacks so far. Peppers sat out some preseason practices because of a hamstring issue, and he was sent home from the Bears’ facility last week because of flu moved here symptoms, missing practice on Thursday. He played against the Vikings, but coach Marc Trestman said he was probably feeling worse than he did in the days leading up to the game. “I don’t know that he had the energy to play as hard as he possibly could play,” Trestman said. “I thought he was involved, he ran some plays down, but overall, in his defense I think that he wasn’t getting better at the time. He was still not ascending, and he didn’t look well to me this morning when I saw him in the meeting as well.” He said the wet conditions hindered the pass rush and that it will improve with Peppers healthy. That issue aside, there are plenty of positives the Bears can take from the first two games. Cutler has been sacked just once behind a rebuilt line. The Bears are getting balance in the passing game with Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte at 15 catches and Bennett with 10.

Chicago Bears come from behind to beat Minnesota Vikings, move to 2-0

It’s just fun to watch him. “We always joke with him that, ‘You’ve got to make your money this week. You’re just returning kicks.’ He earned his check today.” Hester said he is pleased he has relinquished his duties as a wide receiver this season to concentrate on returning kicks and punts. “My legs are a lot fresher,” he said. “Even during the week, I’m saving my legs. Not a lot of running in practice. That is a key factor.” Hester’s 76-yard kickoff return set up the Bears offense to quickly retaliate with a five-play, 32-yard scoring drive, capped by a 1-yard pass from Jay Cutler to Bennett. “That was huge,” Cutler said of Hester’s long return. “He was there all day long. He was averaging 50 yards a kickoff return.

Brian Urlacher Upset That Jay Cutler Hasn’t Called Him?

Urlacher: Cutler only ex-teammate not to contact him after retirement

Heres what he had to say: I did not hear from Jay (Cutler). Out of all the guys I played with I felt like I stood up for him a lot more than anybody else did over the past 3 or 4 years in the media, cause that guy takes a lot of grief. Jay, how could you!? Maybe Urlacher didnt know Cutler as good as he thought he did? The Bears QB doesnt really strike me as a guy who would reach out to a former teammate and thank them. But who knows? Its extremely tough to get a read on Cutler. Sure, he comes across as a guy who just doesnt give a crap about much, but only his true friends and family know the real person.

Urlacher: ‘So Mad’ At How Bears Handled My Exit

Speaking with Yahoo! reporter Graham Bensinger , Urlacher explained why he was so mad about the way the Bears franchise handled his exit. Urlacher said he felt the Bears never actually wanted him back and only made him an offer out of pity. I just wish they wouldve said, Hey, we have this amount of money for you. Its all we can pay you. We want you back. We want to bring a young guy in behind you maybe hell start, but we want you on our team. If youre going to retire, we want you to retire here. This will be your last year, but its all we can pay you. I think that would have been a more respectable way to handle it. I probably actually wouldve stayed.

Brian Urlacher retiring from NFL

Chicago Bars With The Best Arcade Games (CBS)Brian Urlacher said he heard from just about everyone from the Bears after he announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons. Well, everyone but his co-captain and quarterback. I did not hear from Jay (Cutler) out of all the guys I played with, Urlacher said in an interview with Yahoo! Sports . Maybe we werent as close as I we could have been. Thats the way it is. Thats just the way to let you know where you stand with people. Its not his job to text me.

(Scott Halleran / Getty Images / August 30, 2013) By Chuck Schilken September 3, 2013, 9:07 a.m. Johnny Manziel is a punk. That’s what most of us are thinking, right? If only someone had the guts to come right out and say it. Brian Urlacher could have been that person. The former Chicago Bears linebacker and future Hall of Famer certainly has the football background — and the bulging muscles — to back up such a statement. Plus, he has a forum in his new gig as a “Fox Football Daily” analyst.

Where should Brian Urlacher play next? Eight possibilities

Players are so much faster and quicker. We even saw a little bit of that same issue with Urlacher and Ray Lewis in recent years. It’s a young man’s position now. It’s tougher to match up with these tight ends and backs when you get older. The legs start to go. In your head and heart you think you can still get there, but the body says ‘Screw it.’ ” Indeed, there were times in recent seasons when Lewis and Urlacher were painfully exposed in pass coverage, with too much open space on the field to account for, and not enough speed to chase down the young and athletic skill-position weapons that enter the league every year.

I thought he was our guy. We won games with him. He did the things, as a defensive player, you needed. He didnt turn the ball over. He gave us a chance to play defense. So, I was mad when they traded him in the first place. I didnt understand it.

In the end, we just could not agree on what that amount was. It’s no more than that.” Two days after negotiations between Urlacher and the team ended, the linebacker told “The Waddle & Silvy Show” on ESPN 1000 he would have appreciated at least a phone call from the Bears before the team sent out a news release to announce the sides had shut down talks. “I would have appreciated a call from, maybe not Phil, but [team chairman] George [McCaskey] or somebody else I’ve been around,” Urlacher said. “I haven’t been around Phil. He’s been here for one year, so I don’t know him all that well, but [a call] from somebody else in the organization I’ve been around for a long time [would have been appreciated].” Brian Urlacher T-11th >>According to the Bears McCaskey spoke with Urlacher later and in April mentioned the team had not officially ruled out a possible return for the linebacker. Emery also recently said “never to say never” when asked about Urlacher but also indicated it was highly unlikely the linebacker would play for the Bears in 2013.

Julius Peppers Confirms It Was His Transcript Posted On North Carolina’s Website

Bears restructure Peppers’ contract again

“I took every course with qualified members of the UNC faculty and I earned every grade whether it was good or bad. “I was never given unapproved assistance or preferential treatment in terms of my academic career because I was a student-athlete. I was also never deemed ineligible to compete on any of the football or basketball teams.” Peppers played two seasons for the men’s basketball team under Bill Guthridge and Matt Doherty, serving as a reserve on the team that reached the Final Four in 2000. He was the No. 2 pick of the Carolina Panthers in the 2002 NFL draft, spent eight seasons there before signing with the Bears. He is a six-time Pro Bowl defensive end. Nine of the 10 classes in which Peppers earned a B-plus, B or B-minus that could’ve helped ensure his eligibility came in the AFAM department in which he was majoring, according to the transcript.

Bears mystery: Who starts at defensive end opposite Peppers?

Davis, who has denied knowledge of wrongdoing, has said he never steered players to take AFAM classes nor met former department chairman Julius Nyang’oro – whose name was linked to the grade rolls or as instructor of record for the majority of the suspect AFAM classes. Nyang’oro, who had led the department since 1997, resigned as department chairman last August and retired from the faculty in July. The AFAM investigation also found unauthorized grade changes, reports of possibly forged faculty signatures on grade rolls and infrequent classes. The school has said there is no evidence of preferential treatment for student-athletes or grades awarded without written work in the suspect classes. In June, NCAA spokeswoman Stacey Osburn referred questions to the school when asked whether investigators would return to Chapel Hill. Osburn didn’t immediately return an email for comment Monday. The UNC board of governors – who oversee the 17-campus public university system – has appointed a four-member panel to review the school’s investigation of the AFAM irregularities.

2013 Most Important Bears: No. 3 Julius Peppers

I’ll start at the beginning. Peppers was John Fox’s first draft pick as head coach of the Carolina Panthers. The city of Charlotte, already excited about having George Seifert out of town and the prospects of Fox turning the franchise around, were ecstatic when then-commissioner Paul Tagliabue announced that the Panthers had selected the University of North Carolina’s own Julius Peppers with the second pick in the 2002 draft. The love affair continued through Peppers’ spectacular rookie season. “Pep” tallied 36 tackles, 12 sacks, five forced fumbles, and an interception on his way to earning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year honors. He accomplished all of this in 12 games.

Julius Peppers: My Worst Nightmare Coming True in Carolina

According to reporter Brian McIntyre, the Bears converted $3 million of Peppers $12.9 million base salary for this season to a signing bonus. That reduced his salary for this season to $9.9 million and created $2 million in cap savings for the Bears, who have been right up against the cap. Peppers has confirmed the report. This move reduces Peppers salary cap for this season to $14,383,333. Peppers last restructured his contract on Feb. 23, 2011. He is entering the fourth year of the $84 million, six-year contract he signed in 2010. While the move creates flexibility for the Bears this season, it makes Peppers cap number in the final two years of the contract grow even more — $1 million each year. Peppers is scheduled to earn $14 million in 2014 — $13.9 million in base salary with a $100,000 workout bonus.

Peppers to face banged-up Bengals O-line

Hes a quiet guy who never seeks out microphones. In fact, he largely avoids them, which is why he has never really emerged as a face of the franchise over the last three seasons. That may change slightly this year with Brian Urlacher gone, but it doesnt necessarily have to. The perception of Peppers doesnt really matter as long as he continues to produce the way he has the last three years in Chicago. Peppers is now 33 years old and in his 12th NFL season so wear and tear certainly is a concern. It will be interesting to see if the Bears limit him at all in training camp and practices as they did last year when he had the plantarfasciitis. Theres a decent chance the defense takes a step back in 2013, but for it to have any chance to continue to its dominance, the Bears need Peppers on the field. Miss who weve unveiled so far?

North Carolina reviewing possible post of Peppers’ transcript

Hey, theyre going to get the same amount of time. Then we have all of the different stuff were doing (in terms of packages). Youve seen how we mix and match guys. Its not even a thought of, OK, we have to nail down the starter now. Well talk through it. To the coaches, it doesnt matter. They have done a hell of a job, just working. Theyre treating it the same way. Its like Day 1, (last season) doesnt matter.

If thats the case, Anthony Collins goes at the left tackle position, whos a very athletic guy. He was a basketball player and only played one year of high school football. He was an accomplished basketball player, but then went to Kansas and they beefed him up and he started playing offensive tackle for them. He played well and got some All-American mention for them. Hes got good feet.
