The Bears were planning to go into camp with Devin Hester and Brandon Lloyd as their starting wide receivers. With a hold out by Hester, Marty Booker stepped in and ran with the first team. The Bears lack experience at the wide receiver spot. Only Marty Booker has more than 3 years experience with meaningful playing time. What the Bears do have is a lot of speed and a ton of potential. Hester, Bradley...

Bears offensive coordinator, Ron Turner, has stated that Devin Hester and Brandon Lloyd will open training camp at the reciever spots with the first team offense. Currently neither is listed as the #1 recevier and considering the group we have at recevier, it is anybodys guess who will end up holding those spots. ``At all the positions right now, I'm not going to tell you who they are,'' Smith said...

Chicago Tribune sports columnist David Haugh had this to say about the Bears receivers after the team’s minicamp: “I know that the mini-camps and OTAs resemble flag football more than the real thing, but Brandon Lloyd and Devin Hester have looked like the most legitimate, dangerous NFL wide receivers the Bears have.” Brandon Lloyd? Legitimate? Dangerous? Boy-o-boy, are [...]

Last week it was mentioned that with the impressive play of Earl Bennett and Marcus Monk that newly signed Brandon Lloyd might get let go before he even played a down. It has was also assumed that Mark Bradley or Devin Hester would fill the number 2 receiver spot next to Marty Booker. Apparently that has all gone by the way side. Mark Bradley had arthroscopic knee surgery this month and might not...

Matt Forte wasn't the only rookie to impress at Bears rookie mini camp. Vanderbilt receiver Earl Bennett despite a shaky start and Marcus Monk from Arkansas both impressed. The Bears’ work-in-progress WR corps is widely considered ordinary at best, with the team's OTAs set to begin early next week. With that in mind, the consensus among team insiders is that both rookie pass catchers Earl Bennett...

The Bears drafted WR Earl Bennett in the third round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Bennett, from Vanderbilt, is expected to play right away for Chicago. The Bears currently have Marty Booker and Brandon Lloyd as their top two wide receivers, so Bennett could make an impact in 2008.

As you may recall, Brandon Lloyd was a former aspiring rapper even while he was a former aspiring wide receiver. On his debut album "Training Day": After practices, on his days off, even between workouts, Lloyd has been writing lyrics, polishing his flow and preparing to release his debut rap album, "Training Day," this summer. "I'm a football player, first and last," Lloyd said. "But I love music,...

Filed under: Redskins , NFL Draft , NFL Fans , NFL Gossip I was pretty sure wide receiver Malcolm Kelly didn't run (even if slowly) himself out of the first round of the NFL draft after a poor workout for NFL scouts . But his explanation for why he wasn't very fast convinced me he wouldn't be among the first 31 picks. Of course, it's pretty well established that I don't know what I'm talking about,...

Filed under: Redskins , NFL Fans This is rich: apparently, some Redskins fans are unhappy with the team's lethargic approach to free agency. Presumably, these are the same people who were high-fiving each other when Washington spent $20 million on Adam Archuleta and Brandon Lloyd , traded a second-rounder for Mark Brunell , signed Jeff George, so on and so forth. I suspect most fans are happy with...

The Bears just signed Brandon Lloyd! Rex Grossman finally has the target he needs. The best thing about Brandon Lloyd is how aggressive he is!

Still writing. Dan: See, this is why I like Brandon Lloyd. He's sort of funny, he's not a bad writer, he has fond memories of both the Atari 2600 and the Super Nintendo, and he spent the end of this season nursing his broken collarbone and beating Kane & Lynch. Redskins Fans: That's well and good, he might be an ok writer and he might be a great guy to hang out with in the basement and he might not...

Filed under: Bears , NFC North , Chicago , Video Games The Bears decision to sign Brandon Lloyd as a replacement for the departed Bernard Berrian hasn't been lauded as the greatest move of the offseason. Lloyd has spent more time earning the ire of his coaches and teammates than making meaningful catches in NFL games. In fact, during his time with the 49ers he was accused of spending too much time...
