Lamarr Houston looking really good at DT in #Bears nickel package. Just had two "sacks" if he could hit Cutler in 1s vs 1s.

good battle (not a fight) going on between jordan mills and willie young. back and forth.

 

[HeHateMe]

liking the d line and punter tweets. am really worried about tim jennings though, still. hope he pulls it together.

on another note, where'd the Ray Rice thread go? Did everyone decide that it's cool to beat women?

Pat O'Donnell just hit one of Saturn's rings. He has quickly become a cult hero to the fans in Bourbonnais.

never thought the day would arrive where a punter - rookie pat o'donnell - is getting the loudest cheers from the crowd at #bears camp.

 

[Xplosive]

Don't like what I'm hearing about the O-Line getting abused.

It appears that "Moon" hit the sauce a bit early for Day 3.

Early #Bears camp cult hero: Rookie Punter Pat O'Donnell. Been kicking the snot out of the ball. Fans start chanting when he takes the field

The chant had been "Mega Punt" for O'Donnell. #Bears

I don't think you're quite reading all the tweets. There's been nothing to suggest the OL is constantly getting beat. In fact, there was a tweet about Mills getting the best of young and those two going back and forth and the same with Bushrod/Allen.

Also, could it be that the DL is that improved that they are now challenging an OL that is going to be a strength?

Crowd chanting "Megapunt" every time O'Donnell is on the field.

Jeff Arnold ‏@JeffArnold_CF 12s
The fans have apparently pinned the nickname Megapunt on rookie Pat O'Donnell. The Bears marketing department will get right on that.

#Bears Fans chanting "mega punt" when Pat O'Donnell steps on field and kicks.

A "Mega-punt" chant has started here at Camp as O'Donnell works. It reminds me of Happy Gilmore's crowds. And the Rookie crushes it again.

I've seen more bad snaps in the last 3 days than I did in the last 15 years.

 

[NavyBlue]

From what I've been reading it's been back and forth. That's saying more about the D-Line than the O-Line.

 

[AHSIllini32]

Cue the freak out about the long snappers.

not a good day for chas rempel, who is battling for the long snapper spot, multiple bad snaps. #bears

Rich Campbell ‏@Rich_Campbell 17s
Sixth-round rookie Pat O'Donnell was far superior to Tress Way in 2 segments of team punting drills. Better distance, hang time & placement.

Snap on the ground for Chad Rempel in punting drill now. Brandon Hartson had one below thigh too.

Matt Spiegel ‏@MattSpiegel670 56s
In a related story, @PatrickMannelly co-hosts w/me Monday. RT @BradBiggs Snap on the ground for Rempel in punting drill. Hartson had 1 too.

Agreed and I think that's because of how much attention the DL has gotten since last season. In training camp, I want back and forth between the units. I don't want one unit constantly dominating because that could spell trouble. That said, camp is more about individual battles for me than unit vs. unit until preseason games start
