Smart move to relax the sighning of stud FA defensive players as it`s an attempt to with a Championship with a great defence to fit your Nikel Scheme afterall.

Thanks!

Preseason #3: at Pittsburgh

Bears struggled all day to put points on the board, and backup QB Wade Chandler's pick 6 dropped us further and further behind. But then 2nd-year QB Fernando Windsor comes in and leads the Bears to 2 FGs, a TD and 2-point conversion. WR Tyrone Lee, whom coach inexplicably benched in the first 2 preseason games, rips it up, catching 12 of 17 passes for 124 yards (and the 2-point).

On defense 2nd-year DE Doug Conley wins player of game for 2.5 sacks, a hurry and 3 knockdowns. He's having an incredible preseason. The defense surrenders only 173 yards total on the way to a 20-17 victory.

Preseason #4: vs. HOUSTON

We outgained them in this one, but backup QB Wade Chandler's 4 turnovers (2 fumbles, 2 INTs) were disastrous. Yikes. Looks like he may be a downgrade from Hardy Holleran. We may scout the post-preseason waver wire to see if there are any better options. On a positive note, WR Tyrone Lee is again the star, catching 7 of 12.

On defense, rookie SB Dan Pretko leads the squad with 10 tackles, but the guys just can't overcome the turnovers and lose a close one, 14-13.
