Count Down to First Bears Game!

He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the fourth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. On May 29, 2009, Melton agreed to terms on a four-year deal with the Bears. Melton registered his first NFL sack on Brett Favre during a Week 10 game against the Minnesota Vikings. In 2011, Melton recorded a career-high 7 sacks, third most by a defensive tackle, behind Bengals' Geno Atkins and Raiders' Tommy Kelly, who had 7½ sacks apiece. Melton and teammate and center Roberto Garza were eventually named to the All-Joe Team. In 2012, during organized team activities (OTAs), Melton appeared in the backfield as a running back, resembling former Bears defensive lineman and fullback William Perry. Melton had not played running back since his days at Texas.

We will get to 34 soon enough :)

Here's a better #68:

Jim Osborne gave us 13 seasons at DT from 1972 to 1984, and he started 154 games for us. The poor guy retired the year before the Super Bowl win. He won the Brian Piccolo award (The Bears players vote amongst themselves for the rookie and veteran who best exemplify the courage, loyalty, teamwork, dedication and sense of humor of the late Brian Piccolo).

George Edward Seals (born October 2, 1942 in Higginsville, Missouri) is a former American football offensive and defensive lineman in the National Football League for the Washington Redskins, Chicago Bears, and the Kansas City Chiefs. He played college football at the University of Missouri and was drafted in the fourth round of the 1964 NFL Draft by the New York Giants. Seals was also selected in the eighth round of the 1964 AFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers.

Great pick for #67. Heres a photo of Seals lead blocking for Brian Piccolo in a huge upset win we had over the Rams in '68. It's sad though. Brian Piccolo died 18 months after this photo was taken. He died of cancer. I'm sure many of you saw the movie about him, "Brian's Song."

Anyway, Seals was a beast on this day in December '68!!!

Chicago Bears guard (67) GEORGE SEALS leads the blocking for running back (41) BRIAN PICCOLO
against the Los Angeles Rams at Memorial Coliseum. The Bears defeated the Rams 17-16

Sunday Dec. 8, 1968 at The Coliseum – Visiting Chicago Bears beat heavily favored Rams 17-16 in one of the season’s biggest upsets! With the Bears leading 3-0, Willie Ellison’s TD puts Rams in front 7-3. Recently signed Clarence Childs, substituting for the injured Gale Sayers, runs back kickoff to the Rams two, then Brian Piccolo scores to put bears back on top.

Later a Dick Butkus interception sets up a Jack Concannon TD run and Bears lead, 17-7. Following a safety, Rams score final TD on a run by QB Roman Gabriel to bring them within a point, 17-16. A costly holding penalty on the Rams final drive takes them out of FG range and Gabriel’s final TD bomb attempt is incomplete, putting the Bears in the drivers seat in the Central Division going into the season’s final game vs Packers at Wrigley Field!

It brings back a lot of memories to read those names (not just the Bears players). I watched all those guys play. What a blast from the past.
