Of course, it is too early to effectively try and predict who will fill the starting positions in the upcoming season, but if there is anyone who has insight to such matters, it is Larry Mayer. Training camp will will answer a lot of questions, and I'm sure that even Larry's opinion will change come August, but here is a look at what he thinks right now: OFFENSE: Jay Cutler at quarterback, Matt Forte...

Let me start out by saying that I have never heard of Pete Prisco, senior writer at CBSSports.com, and if I have ever read any of his articles, I have no idea. Let me also say that everyone is equally entitled to their own opinions, especially when trying to objectively put together a "rankings" article. Now, let's get to this bozo's Top 50 NFL Players article . You will scan my annual list...

I didn't watch the interview Brett Favre did with Joe Buck last night on HBO, but reading the articles today makes it seem like he wants to play for the Vikings if his arm will let him. I'll post the transcript from the interview (read from the bottom up), then what Lance Briggs has to say. Ok, Favre spoke for about 14 minutes. Come back to the blog a bit later for analysis. Thanks! 9:24 p.m.: We're...

“We know he’s going to throw us a few (interceptions). He’s thrown me a few, but I’ve also dropped several that I should have caught. We’d love to see Favre go there to play. We’d welcome it.” These are the words of Lance Briggs , linebacker for the Chicago Bears. I'm trying not to comment to much on the Favre/Vikings saga, but I will say this - what a difference...

by Bruce Ciskie Filed under: Chicago Bears , Vikings , NFC North "Retired" quarterback Brett Favre can't seem to escape the headlines . With all the talk about his second unretirement in as many years, it makes sense that players on potential Favre opponents would start weighing in. Bears linebacker Lance Briggs is the latest to chip in his two cents. He's fully supportive of Favre's rumored...

As ChiFan13 brought you in today's Den , Lance Briggs thinks so. Briggs cites the change in coaching scheme this year as a reason he thinks the Bears can be better than 2005. "I don’t want to revert back to that form," said the four-time Pro Bowler. "I want to revert to a better form. I think that’s what we all want. We’re all aiming toward something better. "That’s...

Reading that we were going to be at the 80 man roster limit once we finish getting our rookies signed really made me start looking at who we have on the roster now, and at what positions. Are we on our way to being a well-oiled machine, or do we have severe pruning to be done early? Here goes my attempt at a very simplified breakdown of positions and possible cuts, and then I'd like to see everyone...

I've abandoned my Weekly Musings post for a while, and there's no better time than now to start it back up. This week, I'll be discussing Pisa's signing to the Bears and Jerry Angelo's Cutler trade. Pisa joins the Bears Most of us are pretty excited about this signing. I am. Hunter Hillenmeyer was constantly injured and didn't possess any semblance of pass coverage skills.

I know these don't really mean anything, but The Sporting News ranked the top NFL players at each position . Six Titans made the list. The only positions that had no Titans included were Inside Linebacker, Guard, Center, Wide Receiver, Fullback, and Quarterback. I found it quite surprising that pro bowl center Kevin Mawae and fullback Ahmard Hall didn't make the list. Also surprising is that first...
