Woodny Turrene
Turrene stood out last preseason and managed to hang around the practice squad in ’09. I touted him as some much needed depth in the Bears’ secondary, you know, because he’s one of the few backup corners who’s over 5’8″. Haven’t seen much of him this preseason, so he’ll need a strong showing to make the cut.

This post makes me feel much better about trading away so many draft picks, they apparently never get developed into legitimate NFL players anyway. Apparently Jerry does the brunt of his draft research on YouTube.
Nice post Boomer
We've all written about how bad Jerry is with 1st round picks, but your post spotlights another serious inadequacy... the third round.
Nothing is cement, but shouldn't your first three rounds at least equate to active players.
The amount of wide receivers that we haven't developed is ridiculous and the one that developed himself (Aromashado) is somehow suffocated under a shallow depth chart.
Bradley, Bennet, Iglesias... 3 draft classes, 3 3rd rounders, 3 incomplete grades.. is anyone coaching the wide receivers?
Translate that to our dline. Melton, Gilbert, Anderson... will we ever even hear about Wooten? Heck, they couldn't find a permanent spot for Izzy. Didn't we let Ian Scott go?
Do I need to mention our defensive Backfield? We've been force fed that Daniel Manning is our teams best athlete (?), but they can't find him a position? Is Steltz the latest Archuleta? Who is Corey Grahm? Can he play? How can there be so many questions about incumbant players?
Garrett Wolfe is another mystery. I see no proof that he's worth a roster spot... special teams isn't enough unless you return the ball extremely well.
Tim Shaw is a special teams anomaly.... maybe he can play strong safety????
It's so late in the game for this suggestion, but moving Peanut to safety allows our best ball hawk the whole field to cause havoc. He's not fast enough to cover man to man, I saw a replay of last years Cardinal game and he was getting abused. But he does take good lines, reads the play well and finds the ball. Let him play centerfield and lay the wood.
Heck, you could even utilize one of our strengths and put #54 at SS.... it allows Roach a spot on the field and Brian can still run. It's not a risk because we currently have no answer and he played that position at NM.
Do you think opposing receivers would relish #54 and Peanut in the secondary? Ouch and the run support is ridiculous.
If we're gonna suck, might as well go for it. Nothing worse than a "conservative" losing team.
I'll spare you all my thoughts on the o line, that's a freaking book.
Man, you are sure right about Davis...Guess he's got someones photo
Hello fellow Bears fans!!! Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Mike Burzawa, but those closest to me know me as Boomer. It’s a nickname that I’ve had for many, many years (long before I ever heard of that guy on ESPN) and I thought I’d post under that alias. I’m the new lead blogger for Bear Goggles On (I can’t take credit for the name), where I’ll be sharing my views and perspectives on the team we all love.
I’m a lifelong Chicagoan and a die hard fan of Da Bears. I’ve been around for the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. I mean, what was your favorite moment of the Cade McNown era??? The end, if you ask me!!! I have been going on an annual trip to an away Bears game for the last 13 years, so I’ve seen many different sports cities and I’m here to tell you that Chicago fans are second to none!!! As the greatest fans in the NFL, we deserve the greatest blog. I’ll do my best, but I’ll need your help.
I plan to share my take on the team and give a true fan’s perspective. Every once in a while, I’ll put the “Bear” goggles on and sip the Orange and Blue Kool Aide, but I’ll also “Lower the Boom” when I think it’s called for.
Most of all, I want to have some fun and the best way to do that is through your participation, so please feel free to comment, e-mail and share this site with other Bears fans.
