With the Bulls and Blackhawks out of their respective playoffs, and neither baseball team in first place—the Cubs are awful, though the Sox are playing well—there is more attention than usual on the Bears.
The Organized Team Activities, or “OTAs”, are upon us, and the season seems like it’s just around the corner. But for the players, it is either drudgery, a chance to redeem themselves or—in the case of the undrafted free agents—a chance to make a name and hopefully be among the ones that will stick with the team.
But so far, the reporting has centered around Jay Culter’s criticism of Mike Martz and the report out of ESPNChicago.com that free agency apparently “excites” Brian Urlacher.
Meanwhile, there is no Matt Forte at these workouts, as he hasn’t signed his franchise tender yet. But there are plenty of players trying to impress the Bears coaches. Admittedly, it is difficult to truly say who is doing well when players are running around in shorts and helmets, but I’ll tell you who is doing what at the OTAs.
