According to Ed Thompson, team officials have targeted yet another tackle in the upcoming NFL Draft. Who is he? Bear Report has some inside scoop ... http://chi.scout.com/2/842481.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/842481.html Thu, 26 Feb 2009 13:19:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears could definitely stand to make some some moves in free agency Friday once the signing period opens, although it's still somewhat of a mystery as far as who has how much to shell out. But Adam Caplan has the inside scoop on the salary cap situation in the Windy City. http://chi.scout.com/2/842154.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/842154.html Wed, 25 Feb 2009 11:58:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The last time the Chicago Bears had a top-five pick in the NFL Draft, they made a colossal mistake with Cedric Benson. But perhaps Jerry Angelo is willing to roll the dice again because team scouts met with one of the truly elite prospects at the NFL Combine in Indy. Who is he? Bear Report has the scoop ... http://chi.scout.com/2/842146.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/842146.html Wed, 25 Feb 2009 10:41:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears had one of the worst offensive lines in all of football last year, so this year's group should be commended for a solid effort. That being said, there's still a lot of improvement needed in the trenches. Bear Report takes a look back at 2008 for the O-line while also looking ahead to 2009. http://chi.scout.com/2/828783.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/828783.html Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:32:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi Fred Miller was nothing short of a disaster at right tackle for the Chicago Bears this past season, so moving John Tait from the left side back to the right should be a step in the right direction up front. Tait spent some time with Bear Report after Wednesday night's training camp workout in Bourbonnais. http://chi.scout.com/2/773944.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/773944.html Thu, 31 Jul 2008 02:26:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears got Chris Williams of Vanderbilt with the 14th pick in the first round of the NFL Draft. Based on how bad their torn and tattered offensive line was this past season, the former Commodore simply has to succeed. And right away. Can he be the franchise left tackle this team needs? http://chi.scout.com/2/751107.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/751107.html Tue, 29 Apr 2008 13:42:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears have a lot of needs heading into the 2008 draft, but rebuilding what was a miserable offensive line this past season has got to be their top priority. Fortunately for the Midway Monsters, it's a deep class of trench warriors.

There are several candidates, but are any of them qualified? Get the Inside Slant from the NFL experts at Scout.com. http://chi.scout.com/2/739465.html 2047 Scout.com http://chi.scout.com/2/739465.html Fri, 21 Mar 2008 12:42:00 GMT 0 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears ranked 27th on offense in 2007, but GM Jerry Angelo didn't make much of an effort in free agency to improve. Brian Griese was traded, Bernard Berrian escaped to Minnesota, and the O-line is no better than before. Making just one of the following moves would have helped greatly ... http://chi.scout.com/2/736847.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/736847.html Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:49:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi Quarterbacks threw interceptions, tailbacks failed to break big runs, and receivers dropped passes, but poor blocking up front was the biggest problem for the Chicago Bears on offense this past season. Team officials targeted one below-the-radar tackle prospect they like at the NFL Combine. Who is he? http://chi.scout.com/2/732529.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/732529.html Wed, 27 Feb 2008 12:54:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears had a ridiculous amount of problems offensively this past season, and a lot of them can be attributed to poor blocking up front both running the football and in pass protection. Bear Report takes a look back at 2007 and previews 2008 for the big uglies. http://chi.scout.com/2/728316.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/728316.html Mon, 11 Feb 2008 13:44:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears showed interest in a lot of players during preparations for this past Saturday's Senior Bowl, and Vanderbilt offensive tackle Chris Williams was one of them. Scout.com draft expert Chris Steuber drops by Bear Report and gives a quick scouting report on Williams. http://chi.scout.com/2/724378.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/724378.html Tue, 29 Jan 2008 15:15:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears need a lot of help along the offensive line, and pickings are slim at tackle in free agency. Jordan Gross of Carolina is a quality player and will be available on the open market, so could he get the job done at left tackle and allow John Tait to move back to the right side? http://chi.scout.com/2/720566.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/720566.html Wed, 16 Jan 2008 16:37:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi The Chicago Bears have the 14th selection in the NFL Draft, and an influx of talent along the offensive line is an absolute must. Boise State tackle Ryan Clady could be available at No. 14. Scout.com draft expert Chris Steuber drops by BearReport.com and gives a quick scouting report on Clady. http://chi.scout.com/2/717596.html 2047 John M. Crist http://chi.scout.com/2/717596.html Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:29:00 GMT 1 25 Chicago chi With John Tait coming back slowly from offseason ankle surgery, John St. Clair has seen a lot of action at so far in the preseason. An eight-year veteran, he will once again be the primary backup at both tackle spots. St. Clair talked with BearReport.com before Wednesday's practice at Halas Hall about right ends vs. left ends, getting back to Lake Forest, and doing all that pass blocking. http://chi.scout.com/2/671088.html 2047 John M.
