08:00 AM ET 06.27 | Consider linebacker Lance Briggs the most publicly bullish of the Bears. [Briggs] knows just how high expectations are for the Bears in 2012. After a successful offseason from first-year general manager Phil Emery, Briggs thinks the Bears have all the pieces in place to meet those expectations. "On paper, we look like a champion, but we have a lot of work to do before we can be called a champion," Briggs told The Mully and Hanley Show. "There were moves that were made in the offseason to bring in a lot of veteran (players.) Of course, Brandon Marshall and Michael Bush just put us in a position where we???re able to transition that stuff onto the field to be a real contender."

I hope he uses the Herald. Dogs prefer it 2-1 over other choices.

That especially true in June. By October we'll start to see what's what and who's who. On the field the paper will be forgotten about

"but we have a lot of work to do before we can be called a champion"..
Uh, yeah. The first thing you need to do to be called a champion in the NFL is to win the Super Bowl. What was his Wonderlic score?

Mr.Briggs your defense most years hasn't been the problem it is the offense. The only way you have a chance of making it to the big one is the man from Vandy has to cut down on his interceptions.
