    Bears Depth Chart 9/3/2012

    Bears depth chart

    Bears starting QB Jay Cutler and backup Jason Campbell take a breather during training camp last month. (Phil Velasquez/Tribune) (September 2, 2012)




    By Brad Biggs, Chicago Tribune reporter 10:14 a.m. CDT, September 3, 2012


    Quarterback (2)

    Jay Cutler

    Jason Campbell

    Comment: Team made decision not to keep three veteran passers on roster to create flexibility elsewhere. Undrafted rookie Matt Blanchard gets spot on practice squad.

    Running back (3)

    Matt Forte

    Michael Bush, Lorenzo Booker

    Comment: Even though there are only three backs on the roster and six wide receivers, offensive coordinator Mike Tice still will prioritize ground attack.

    Wide receiver (6)

    Brandon Marshall, Devin Hester

    Earl Bennett, Alshon Jeffery*, Eric Weems, Dane Sanzenbacher

    Comment: Will be very interesting to see whether Jeffery can continue to turn heads. If he does, could push for starting job by middle of season.

    Tight end (4)

    Kellen Davis

    Matt Spaeth, Evan Rodriguez*, Kyle Adams

    Comment: Bears keep extra body here with decision to go without a fullback. Time for Davis to play up to club's expectations.

    Offensive line (8)

    J'Marcus Webb, Chris Spencer, Roberto Garza, Lance Louis, Gabe Carimi

    Chris Williams, Chilo Rachal, Edwin Williams

    Comment: Chris Williams provides great flexibility because he can play every line position except center. Spencer and Louis entering final year of contracts.

    Defensive end (5)

    Julius Peppers, Israel Idonije

    Shea McClellin*, Corey Wootton, Cheta Ozougwu

    Comment: Search for reliable third end continues.Real hope is first-round pick McClellin answers pressing need. Wootton and Ozougwu had good summers.

    Defensive tackle (4)

    Henry Melton, Matt Toeaina

    Stephen Paea, Amobi Okoye

    Comment: Melton needs to play better against run in contract year, and someone else at this position needs to provide push in the pass rush.

    Linebacker (7)

    Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, Nick Roach

    Geno Hayes, Patrick Trahan, Blake Costanzo, J.T. Thomas

    Comment: Really isn't any cover here if Urlacher's left knee is an issue throughout season, but Bears are hoping for some special-teams standouts among backups.

    Cornerback (5)

    Charles Tillman, Tim Jennings

    D.J. Moore, Kelvin Hayden, Sherrick McManis

    Comment: Jennings had strong camp and preseason, and his former teammate with Colts, Hayden, provides improved depth.

    Safety (5)

    Chris Conte, Major Wright

    Craig Steltz, Anthony Walters, Jeremy Jones*

    Comment: Pass rush is biggest concern on defense, but safety is a close second and it begins with durability of starters.

    Special teams (4)

    Pat Mannelly, Robbie Gould, Adam Podlesh

    Ryan Quigley*

    Comment: Podlesh's hip injury forced team to carry second punter. Quigley won't be around long.

    Looks a hell of a lot better than the one we had at the beginning of the 2011 season. I can't see much in the way of any changes forthcoming either. There's a pretty nice blend of older vets, young vets and rookies here and not may holes that I can see with the exception of the one we all agree one.

    Looks a helluva lot better and deeper than last year especially when you add Collins @ DT and kick off Quigs which I have a feeling will happen between weeks 1 and 2.

    Now if only this one other tweak could happen...

    Offensive line (8)

    J'Marcus Webb, Chris Williams, Roberto Garza, Lance Louis, Gabe Carimi

    Chris Spencer    , Edwin Williams, vet swing OT off waiver wire

    Comment: Chilo Rachal was released after the Bears signed veteran OT xxxxxxxx to man the swing position.

    We need to have a year with fewer injuries to key people. Injuries will happen, but it makes a HUGE difference as to WHO gets injured. This may ultimately determine our success this season.
    Go Bears!

    Hester is listed as #2 WR???

    I have to say I LIKE this. He has much time left in his career and having his speed on the field IS something to be happy about next to Marshall who will get double coverage

    Just posted a new one based on the final roster do we can ignore this one now. It's invalid.
