Latest Chicago Bears News: Joint Practice, Cancun Getaway and Much More
TGIF, BEARS FANS!!! I’ve decided to try to resurrect an old favorite of mine, Bear Dawn. It’s the latest Chicago Bears news from around the interwebs. Here’s what you need to know for Friday June 12, 2015…
The big news from Thursday is a Bears – Colts joint practice ahead of their August 22nd preseason game. The Bears will travel to Indy and work out against the Colts Wednesday and Thursday before their Saturday night game.
"“We felt this was a good opportunity to work against an excellent team that has been to the playoffs the past three years,” said Bears coach John Fox.“The timing worked well in terms of where it fit into our schedule. The guys like it as a change-up to what they have been doing the prior three weeks and the competition increases at practice as a result. It will help us with our preparation and evaluation of the team.”"
This will take place after the Bears break camp in Bourbonnais on August 16th.

If you can stomach it, Da Bears Beat compares how the Bears and Packers have drafted over the last few years. Yes, it’s as bad as you might imagine. Here’s just a small sampling:
"Perhaps the biggest discrepancy here is the number of players who remain with their original team. Chicago employees just three of their 59 selections compared to Green Bay’s 17 out of 75!"
The Bears have taken a tumble in Pro Football Focus’ roster rankings, down to #25 heading into 2015. Why? Well, everybody loves to pick on Jay…
"PFF writes: “The Bears’ roster has seen a ton of turnover, but it’s perhaps most defined by the quarterback who stuck around: Jay Cutler. He is a talented but hugely flawed passer who can range from awful to very good, depending on his ability to fit within the offense and jive with the coaching staff.”"
