Thanks, I'll try to catch both. More curious about what Pace has to say though.

 

[PolarBear]

Pace has already said he wants football players, not athletes. I feel like he will put more stock into player interviews than what actually happens in the tests.

Over/under how many times Pace begins a sentence with "Hey," ... 2,785,241

Hey, I'll put 20k on the under. You better be good for it.

They are probably just finalizing the plans to induct him into the Bears Hall of Fame and the ceremony regarding retiring his jersey, as the highest rated passer in all of Bears history. Nothing to see here.

 

[JoJoBoxer]

Fox on next (10 minutes?)

 

[legendxofxlink]

Fox calls our defense 3-4.

 

[legendxofxlink]

"We'll see how it goes" about mccown

Focus needs to be on a championship, not showtime

 

[EverybodyHatesCutler]

Fox very non-committal about both Cutler and Marshall. Very interesting. Also confirms there is real interest in McCown.

Pretty much all that came out of that.

Says they are only 10 days into looking at the roster and there is not time frame nor rush to evaluate all the players.

 

[EverybodyHatesCutler]

Also said that both Willie Young and Jared Allen project at OLB. Allen has said he does not want to play OLB. Writing could be on the walls there, just hoping they can "settle" on lowering that guaranteed figure to cut him.

 

[Josh2J]

actually more there in that Fox presser than I would have thought. Good stuff...

I really hope Marshall pays attention because I really want him to stay a Bear.

Pace has been too. I think that says a lot.

Fox is so quizzical when taking questions. Not a bad trait, but I find it funny.

34 or 43, they'll probably play both fronts - the gap scheme is really what tells you something in base. I wouldn't expect him to play his cards in February. I think he likes the personnel more than the media, but I'm sure they want to lose some players. It might not seem like they have a linebacker, but he might really like Bostic and Jones. It's definitely going to be an interesting spring, because I'm sure there are strong opinions in the room.
