Few Surprises as Bears Release First Depth Chart

Matt Forte is penciled in as the starter and running back.  Not big news, but there’s been a decent share of speculation that Chester Taylor would eclipse Forte as the starter, so it’s noteworthy that Forte and Taylor aren’t Forte/Taylor.  More on the slashes later.

Perhaps the biggest surprise on the offensive side of the ball was where Dez Clark is on the depth chart.  At first, I scrolled through all of the tight ends and didn’t see him listed.  It’s only until I scrolled down to the H-back position where Clark is listed as the starter.  It’s an interesting way that the Bears will try to keep 4 tight ends, with Kellen Davis and Rich Angulo left to battle it out for the 3rd tight end spot.  Click the next page to hear what Dez has to say about his role with the Bears.
