Your 2011-2012 Chicago Bears!
Today, I look at the roster for the season. Note: this still can change but we go with how it is for right now. I will sort it by strength.

Today, we'll take a look at this season's Chicago Bears position-by-position.
First we have the running backs:
Matt Forte: Touchdown Machine, I really hope the Bears give him a contract to stay.

Marion Barber: Runs to kill, this boy can run hard.
Kahlil Bell: Showed in the preseason he wants a job, I wish Chester Taylor would’ve shown the same heart.

Overall: This group will run hard and help the offensive line with protecting Quarterback Jay Cutler, allowing him to be hit less.
Defensive ends:
Julius Peppers: Do we really have to comment on this guy?
Israel Idonije: Great complement to Peppers, really came out over the past couple years.
Nick Reed: I found it tough to distinguish between Reed and fellow DE Mario Addison, glad they kept them both.
Mario Addison: See Reed.
Linebackers:
Lance Briggs: Wants a trade, do you think the Bears are going to trade him? I would, take a first round draft pick and rid yourself of a stubborn player that already got a new contract three years ago.
Brian Urlacher: Continues to dominate, really good comeback last year.
Dom DeCicco: Rookie who played pretty good during the preseason.
Brian Iwuh: Touch backup.
Nick Roach: Will finally get to play. He will prove why the he is a good keep.
Defensive Tackles:
Anthony Adams: Great underrated player.
Amobi Okoye: I'm excited to see him play on this line. I think he will snap.
Stephen Paea: Not sure how much he will play.
Matt Toeaina: Average player, will be ok.
Safeties:
Chris Conte: I’m not big on this guy, but the Bears see something.
Chris Harris: Coming on another year will hopefully play tough.
Brandon Meriweather: YEAH! He makes this weak class of safeties stronger!
Criag Steltz: Will he show up every game?
Winston Venable: I don’t know much about this kid, but he is ferocious.
Major Wright: I’m ready to dump this guy.
Wide receivers:
Earl Bennett: Cutler and Bennett have a good relationship. I hope it shows this year.
Deven Hester: Explosive player, just not as a wideout.
Sam Hurd: I like him, and hope he steps up this year; never really had a chance in Dallas.
Johnny Knox: I hope he starts over Roy Williams
Roy Williams: I was psyched about the signing until I saw his “energy” in the preseason, not so happy anymore.
Dane Sanzenbacher: I like this kid’s energy, I hope he steps up.
Cornerbacks:
Zackary Bowman: Needs work.
Corey Graham: Could make the Pro Bowl as a special teams guy.
Tim Jennings: Also a great CB, underrated.
Charles Tillman: Great Player, needs one more to really make the CBs shine.
Quarterbacks:
Cutler: Needs the OL to be effective, but with a solid Bears running game can become explosive.
Caleb Hanie: I won’t lie, I’ve liked Hanie since his Colorado days. So I am biased towards him and I can’t wait until it’s Hanietime!
Nathan Enderle: I don’t know much about him but he looks stiff to me, needs to learn to be mobile.
Tight ends:
Kyle Adams: I’m happy he made the team, way to play kid.
Kellen Davis: I like the way he blocks, not to bad at catching either.
Matt Spaeth: Can block as well.
Olsen: Oh wait, the Bears traded him for a 3rd round pick. Yes, 3rd round.
Offensive line:
Chris Williams: Actually not looking to bad right now, hopefully he plays the same in the regular season.
J’Marcus Webb: I see a future signing to replace him, I wasn’t not impressed.
Gabe Carimi: I like this kid, I’m happy the Bears drafted him.
Roberto Garza: Looking good at center for right now, but I like him better at guard.
Edwin Williams: Depth.
Frank Omiyale:Depth.
Lance Louis: Depth.
Chris Spencer: Will look good at center.
Overall:
I hope to see some adjustments before the season but I don’t mind this team too much. The Bears need to add some depth at the O-line, add another cornerback and we might have something going.
