New Bears wide receiver Roy Williams says offensive coordinator Mike Martz's system brings the greatest challenge, but also deserves credit for his success.
Bears offensive coordinator met at length with the media Tuesday for the first time since the NFC Championship Game in January.
If it's Tuesday, that means it's time for another Bears mailbag. It's nice to have actual football to discuss, so let's go...
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.
It never felt right that a shaky offensive line seemed so desperate to retain a mediocre center.
It's amazing how an offensive coordinator who guided the Bears to the 30th ranked offense in the league a year ago remains with so much power.
In the same week that ratification of a new labor agreement is expected to occur, the news came yesterday that Cutler's high-profile engagement to reality-TV body Kristin Cavallari is over.
The way Mike Martz sees it, the Chicago Bears could play in the Hall of Fame game on a day's notice if necessary.
Gabe Carimi remains confident about jumping into Mike Martz's system whenever the lockout ends and being able to contribute right away.
Because of the lack of contact players have had with coaches, Devin Hester thinks the lockout could prove costly for the Bears.
Last season, the strength of the Bears was their defense, the unit gave up the fourth fewest (17.9) points in the league. The offense struggled at times in their first season running the intricate and timing-based Mike Martz offense.
In a recent interview with the team's official website, Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz talked about the upcoming season and getting receiver Earl Bennett more involved with the offense.
With reports that the NFL and NFL Players Associations are making progress towards a new collective bargaining agreement, teams may soon be able to address needs via free agency. For the Chicago Bears, there's a big need at receiver.
Earl Bennett had the best hands among NFL receivers in 2010 and now Mike Martz is looking to expand his role in the team's offense.
After being drafted by the Chicago Bears, Gabe Carimi made the quick transition form a Green Bay Packers fan. There's one more transition he needs to make, and like all NFL rookies, that might take a while.
Considering the Chicago Bears picked near the end of each round of the NFL draft, general manager Jerry Angelo on Saturday thought he did a reasonable job filling team needs.
Bears offensive coordinator Mike Martz could conceivably walk if he doesn't get a raise, according to a published report.
Lovie Smith usually does not stand in the way of his assistants leaving to take bigger jobs elsewhere. Most NFL head coaches find that it's good business to build a reputation as someone supportive of career advancement.
Leave it to the Bears to have dual quarterback controversies leading up to a game in which they are not playing.
There are numerous things to be upset at Lovie Smith and Mike Martz for during yesterday's 21-14 loss to the rival Packers.
The Chicago Bears' offense finally get into rhythm in the fourth quarter when Caleb Hanie entered to the game to replace an injured Jay Cutler and a struggling Todd Collins.
The first half of the biggest game in the history of the Chicago Bears-Green Bay Packers' rivalry has come to a close with the Packers leading 14-0.
Both the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears needed help two years ago (Packers) and last year (Bears). The NFC Championship game could come down to the moves Chicago's Mike Martz and Green Bay's Dom Capers make.
Mike Martz and Dom Capers are two of the most well-respected coordinators in the NFL. On Sunday, they'll go head to head see who can get the upper hand, and they'll likely go about it the same way.
Much like the public opinion of the Chicago Bears has changed over the last 12 months, quarterback Jay Cutler is being looked at much differently as well.
