15 second Summary since I don't want to post the full article here for copyright reasons:
1. Rookie/tryout Kickers sucked, be patient

2. Kerrith Whyte and Emmanuel Hall have legitimate speed that shows up on the football field.

3. Whyte and Matt Forte had dinner.

4. Riley Ridley working to try and make a good impression.

5. Undrafted tight-end Dax Raymond spent two years in Vladivostok, Russia and learned Russian, and thus feels confident he can pick up the playbook.

My meatball summary- Montgomery is very focused and works his ass off, doesn't want to go back to where he's escaped from yada-yada, also caught a 30 yard diving catch in mini-camp and is confident in his pass-catching ability.

Should be easy to find new te if all we need to do is find guys with the ability to learn a second language lol. Is that really the best they could do with observations? Shithole newspaper/10

And how do you know the playbook isn't written in Russian?

I do like all this talk about speed. At least these late round guys have that going for them.

The playbook is in Russian?

In Soviet Russia, the playbook learns you

Really starting to like Raymond and Bednarski and hope they make the 53 man roster. Bednarski just seems to have “it”

For some perspective, Adam Shaheen can barely speak English like a normal person. He talks like @dabears70 types.

FFS, where is the kicker coach!!! Seriously, throwing a bunch of shit against the wall and seeing what sticks, still leaves you with shit on the wall.

We had a legit shot of winning the Super Bowl last year, and we left it in the hands of our kicker, who is responsible for about 1/3 of our points....

I am utterly pissed that ownership and this coaching staff, are still clueless

They bears have a kicking coach...

I saw that they hired a consultant, not a coach, so I wonder if Jamie Kohl is able to be on the field during a game or not?

Not sure on that. Nagy said he’s going to be around everyday. Not sure if that means on the field on game day or not.

I am confused about when I should begin to panic about the kicker situation. I realize the first day of rookie mini camp is too soon. After that I'm not too sure. Please advise.

I really hope Adam Shaheen manages to be somebody this season. Or, ever. In his Bears career

What would you do differently?
