The reasons for the Bears' inefficiencies are many, and shared. But, really. Somebody get open.
After a 30-13 defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Saints, the Bears now sit at 1-1 before the Week 3 showdown at Soldier Field with Green Bay.
To say the preseason didn't go well for newly acquired Bears wide receiver Roy Williams would be an understatement.
Well, one preseason game is in the books and there is a lot to talk about. Let's get straight to your questions:
After kicking off from the 30-yard line on two first half kickoffs Saturday, Bears special teams coach Dave Toub confirmed that the NFL told them they had to move up to the 35-yard line for the second half.
Saturday provides the first opportunity to see what the Bears look like in game-situations. Here are some of the things that I'm interested in seeing Saturday.
Wide receivers coach Darryl Drake made it clear Johnny Knox has no desire to leave the Bears if he does not earn starting job during training camp.
Throughout Lovie Smith's tenure as head coach, his camps have been "player-friendly". Meaning the practices have been thorough, but are less physical than other teams.
Training Camp usually allows for good battles. Sometimes it's two guys fighting for one job, but occasionally you get a solid battle between an offensive and defensive player.

In November, the Chicago Bears fell to the Seahawks. Seattle's blitz schemes resulted in six sacks of Cutler in their 23-10 victory. The Bears are ready for a different result in their push through the playoffs.
Johnny Knox may not have any experience playing in the playoffs, but that doesn't mean that he doesn't understand the importance of Sunday's game.
From the time training camp started there have been Bears' position groups that have taken a great deal of criticism. Other then the offensive line, the receivers have taken the most.
This may be it – the best day of this bizarre, 2010 Bears' season.

NFL Network analyst Joe Theismann, who will call Thursday's Bears game in Miami, joined the Mully & Hanley Show Monday and praised wide receiver Johnny Knox.
The stats don't lie and neither does the film. Despite both of those, Cutler and Martz see reason for optimism.
Jay Cutler threw four interceptions on Sunday. However, not all of those interceptions can be placed solely on the quarterback. Former Bears receiver Dennis McKinnon joined the Boers and Bernstein Show to talk about what receivers must do to help their QB.
It's no secret that there are many problems that need to be fixed on the Bears offense. However, Jim Miller feels that Cutler's problems specifically, can be fixed on the practice field.
