Chicago Bear Legends: George Halas

The Bears have had some players and coaches who stood above all the rest in the league. Some that were mean and scary and brutal. Some who were agile and quick. Some were touchdown scoreres. Some were touchdown stoppers. Some were contreversial and punky. However with these Bears stands one who is lovingly referred to as "Papa Bear" and is known as one of the greatest coaches the game has ever seen. He's a man who not only changed the Bears, but also changed the game of football and left an unreplaceable mark in the heart of all Bear's fans. He is George Halas.

Chicago Bear Legends: Dick Butkus

When foreigners travel to the land known for its fierce defense, strong tacklers and intimidating linebackers, many will turn around and head for home. Some know they'll fail. Some fake injuries to escape. All are scared.

This land is known as Chicago, and throughout the ages no defense has been as feared as the Bears. However, throughout it's many years of intimidation and flat out domination, one man stands out above the rest for his unique combination of power, intelligence, speed and ferocity that had the opposition begging for mercy for nearly a decade. This man is Dick Butkus.

Chicago Bears Greats

Sorry for not blogging in a few days. I'm a lil behind...

But I've got an idea for you. Similarly to the Glasgow Celtic group I blog on, I was thinking it would be interesting to showcase the greats in Chicago Bears history in the offseason while there's not much going on. Thought it might be pretty interesting. Here I'm putting a spin on it.

I want YOU GUYS to give me a list of the great Bears you want me to blog. Give me as many great Bears as you like, though I may not get to them all. Also don't count on me doing a showcase on the life of Cade McNown.

Word is Lovie Smith treated Darren McFadden and Felix Jones to lunch the other day. Whats up with this? Possible trade up for McFadden in the process?
I don't bleive our Bears are as bad as people make them out to be. If we can get a line to protect our QB and open holes for our RBs, I believe we can go all the way.
Think Positive Fans.

c/b I haven't heard anyone say that Adrian Peterson will be cut. I'm flat out scared of him, too, after what he did to our defense.
And I agree that Garret Wolfe has a lot of potential. His only problem is his size, but that never stoped Mugsy Bogues, did it?
Wolfe can't be much worse than Cedric Benson. The two have different running styles, where CB tries running through people because he doesn't have the speed, but Garret will run around the defender because he's quick and agile.
He's defidently got potential, but first things first: We need to fix the O line.
I think many write off Peterson, when he should be looked at more. I am not advocating him being used as an every down back. But I don't see why many Bears fans simply dismiss him, or say that he will be cut. He is a stud on special teams, and knows how to take advantage of a situation. Give the guy a break. It's not as if he has had the best blockers in the league for the past few years.

Wolfe also gets a lot of grief, when the truth is that he made some outstanding plays last year. Remember the Saints game, where he ran for 32 yards, giving us a critical 1st down? I am not saying that anyone here has been saying that Wolfe should be cut, or anything like that. But since I do live in the city, I hear a lot from fellow Bears fans. I am saddened by the crap Wolfe takes. The guy was a rookie last year. Give the man a break.

However, I'm down with going the Mrs. O'leary cow rout as well if they don't draft an OT.
