Aslong as they understand about gap control then they have already improved plenty from last season.
wots "gap control"?
How come when you post now its in the tone of chief smug, master of football future-telling?
What the fuck is wrong with you? The Bears have said that they want to look at Shea playing MLB.So who is competing with Williams?
You're one of those McClellin is Urlacher's replacement idiots aren't you...

These three young linebackers are essentially the three that are competing for two linebacker spots in training camp, starting SAM and the backup MIKE spot behind DJ Williams.
It would be the story of the season if Christian Jones managed to knock off two former top draft picks and supplant one or both of these players for the starting SAM or backup MIKE spot.
All three bring a unique set of skills and a variety of strengths and weaknesses to the competition, and honestly at this point based on the play of the first two and the UDFA status of Jones I can't put one ahead of the other or think one has a clear advantage over the rest.
he showed flashes of his talent at de the problem was he was playing out of his natural position in a lot of peoples minds, myself included. guy just wasn't strong enough in the trenches but he has great speed and could do well at lberI'm not a hater, jsut a realist. Anyway, he's got a lot of work ahead of him and I wish him the best. Do I expect him to make meaningful contributions? No. Am I rooting against him? Again, no.
Also since when is a former first rounder-turned-bust get to be an underdog? His failures on the field somehow gave him this lovable trait that makes you want to root for him?
We shall. He'll start. You n Chris are wrong on this issueLOL, so what you're saying is that DJ Williams is being handed the MIKE? We will see about that.
LOL
"-During 11-on-11 drills, TE Martellus Bennett had the catch of the day. Running a deep crossing route, Bennett created separation from Williams and was open roughly seven yards from the sideline."
7 yards in the NFL is a canyon.
Edit: Then again its probably just be where he was on the field not the amount of separation between them.
LOL

Your reading comprehension sucks.
BTW perhaps you read the part about Bostic and McClellin...

I'd like to see a slimmed down athletic McClellin be able to hold down the SLB position ... but first I'd just like to see him be able to get off a solid block.
I don't think he is as much as Shea. I think they want Shea to start but we'll see.
From what I've read and heard on the radio McClellin still doesn't look like he can do anything NFL football related at OTAs. But, we shall see. I really would like him to succeed, I just don't see it. Can't wait for the season to get here however.
Okay, but what is his natural position? To me it's either a situational pass rusher or a 3-4 OLB. Making him a 4-3 MLB/OLB is just moving him from one un-natural position to another.he showed flashes of his talent at de the problem was he was playing out of his natural position in a lot of peoples minds, myself included. guy just wasn't strong enough in the trenches but he has great speed and could do well at lber
