dll2000 Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 First off, anybody planning on going? I took a friend's kid many years ago and didn't really enjoy it. This was under Lovie if memory serves. Couldn't get any good sight lines to anything and kids get bored fast. I am thinking about going just because I am so jacked for season. I haven't decided if I want to go or not. More and more people are posting videos of each practice and I could care less about autographs. I also don't want to lose a good spot when I have to go to bathroom or eat if I go by myself. I just want to see their practice structure and get an idea of their size in person. I'd much rather be in meetings and film review to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman(DH23) Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 Was just talking the other day w/my gf about going. Been meaning to the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted July 3, 2019 Share Posted July 3, 2019 I'm thinking about family fest this year, mostly just to watch 3yr old daughter try and lay out a player. She tackles 8 year olds with ease (and noise) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technique and motor. She wraps up really well but then has a climb move she'll pull out if they don't fall over right away. I should probably stop her but I'm not going to.

soulman Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I keep thinking about getting back for one but Midwestern humidity in late July make me sweat just thinking about it. I did attend one in Platteville many moons ago and that was fun but it was also back when the '85 Bears were a gathering storm for that season and they were one crazy bunch.

AZBearsFan Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 I’ve been trying to make the time to go for years. Life tends to get in the way. May take my kids to family fest now that they’re old enough to appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work outside, avoid the area at all costs right now. It's either 55 and rain, or 88 and rain. Lost 3lbs yesterday from morning until 3, and that was the _cool_ day this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAR FACE DOWN ARROW Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 If I could upload a pic from Tuesday I would; it's through the windshield of my truck, which is covered in rain, and it shows the outside temp, which still reads 99. Wed was quite brisk by comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulman Posted July 4, 2019 Share Posted July 4, 2019 Yep, lots of bad storms back that way. My Pop lives just west of Milwaukee and I have other family around Chicagoland and Downstate so I try to keep up with the weather in the Midwest as much as possible. And even though I grew up in all that humidity after 35 years of living in Colorado I've become a ***** when it comes to high humidity summer and winter. You can only get so naked in the summer and only wear so much winter clothing to fight it. It's actually fairly humid here right now (70%) but it's only 75 degrees. By later this afternoon when temps hit near 90 the humidity will be less than 50% plus we have a nice 8-10 mph breeze blowing in my windows. So it's comfortable now without the A/C but by late afternoon I suspect it won't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WindyCity Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The OL needs to be better. They were not bad last season, but hardly difference making. I am going to watch them closely in camp as they will be repping against the best front 7 in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 In pass pro I am not really worried about the OL. But in the run game they were pretty mediocre. Howard missed holes, definitely. But he was getting hit behind the LOS way more than I saw the previous two years. Also I hope they have found it in Coward or someone who can step in for Long when he gets hurt for a bit, as projecting him to play 16 healthy games seems like you're really betting against house odds. There is a lot of youth though, both OTs had solid years, etc. Just needs to see depth shine some for me to be more comfortable with them. I want to see the nasty streak the Bears OL showed when Long and Mills were drafted. They were aggressive SOBs, then the next year Slauson came in and was a bully too. You get to see flashes of dominance from Long still, Whitehair will upend someone once or twice a game, Daniels gets under people and will get them out of the way, etc. But I don't remember seeing 5-6 guys from the LOS (our offense and the opposing defense combined) getting up after the play nearly as much as I hoped for. Just way too many people standing around at the whistle IMO. I want to see some aggression on the field. Maybe that is why Larsen is here, he isn't talented but he is at least mean. If the rest of the guys can just get that mean streak consistently and not be a dumb*** like Larsen with the fights then the Bears are absolutely golden in the trenches.
