Tillman just displayed the ideal "bail" technique vs. Marshall. Sink, stack & press the WR to sideline. Veteran stuff. #Bears

I'm not sure Patrick Mannelly ever had a bad snap in Bourbonnais. Can't say the same in the post-Pat era.

Long snapper Chad Rempel, the 10-year CFL vet, snapped one that O'Donnell had to jump for and bounced another one back. Not a good start.

Put it in ink. Chris Williams is making the team.

@AHSILLINI32 9m

@jimmyray78 b/c of return skills or wr skills? Or both?

Jim Allen ‏@jimmyray78 2m

@AHSILLINI32 both. Has great hands.

Little conversation I had with this guy about Williams. Great to hear this.

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

So much for the "competition" lol

I haven't been this happy since draft day.

Charles Tillman vs Brandon Marshall http://instagram.com/p/q9c20QJE_C/

How cruel would it be to finally have a good punter and then not have a long snapper that can actually get him the ball.

Lunging grab by WR Chris Williams. He's showed up in passing game every day so far and that is key to him making 53

Competitions the name of the game right now. Our DL vs our OL. Marshall, Jeffrey, Wilson vs Tillman, Jennings, Fuller. Should produce some strong units.

Thanks for all the tweets, pics, and whatnot.

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?

I'm sure you are right about it being DL improvement, the OL was fine last year for most games. But I've definitely read plenty about Trevor Scott and Nate Collins dominating and nothing about O-Linemen looking awesome. But all things considered, its probably better that way.

And if the o-line was dominating you would be compaining about the d-line not being impressive. Camp isn't about that stuff. It is about learning the plays and getting back into the routine of playing. Right now we are hearing good things about both sides, even without Long playing on the O-line. Someone has to get beat in these drills, it is about getting better overall.

Between nice PBU by Mundy on Bennett & a deflection at the line (Bass?) on recent play, defense showing well today. #BearsCamp

To be fair, Collins dominated against reserves and Scott beat Mills once. I'm not concerned because there is really no way our O-Line can regress from last year with all 5 starters returning. That's why I'm excited to hear that our D-Line is giving them a bit of trouble.

Kyle Fuller stands out big time. Has made plays EVERY DAY out here.

Any Ego sightings?

Please, Pat, pull off a Favre "retirement".

Houston has gotten through a few times as well for would-be sacks. Officials get here on 31st to start keeping these guys honest. #BearsCamp

They are also mostly going against the 2nd units too.
