players value valued willing
To get valued players you have to be willing to give value.
couple good last players sundays training truly
I said this really the last couple years: Saturdays look like Sundays now, and that's good for football. They truly are training the players the way we want to use them on Sundays.
agency drafted felt free good gotten players wallace
I thought Day would have gotten drafted and Wallace could have gotten drafted, so we felt in free agency those were probably as good of players as you could get.
bit jump patient players sure until
Until we know for sure all that's out there, we're just not going to jump the gun, and we have to be a little bit more patient and make sure we know what players are out there.
competition create guys players taken tight veteran
We could have taken a tight end earlier. We want to create competition at that position. There will be some veteran players flushed out, with all the guys who were drafted, and we will look at those.
agreement bears camp chicago contract failure fair huge placed players premium reach reasonable
The Chicago Bears have always placed a premium on having our players in camp on time. The failure to reach an agreement on a fair and reasonable contract has been a huge disappointment.
both few guys happy looked somehow
There are always a few guys that you think are going to get drafted, and somehow they don't. They looked at our situation, and they jumped on it. We were real happy to get both of them signed.
good
We do have a plan. But we have a good nucleus, so we're going to be very selective.

We would like to get another corner in here. It doesn't seem like you can have too many corners.
pressure putting
We're not putting any pressure on him to do what LaDainian Tomlinson did. We're going to wean him into the offense.
couple eight guys picks prepared seven work
We had a couple guys in mind. Unfortunately it didn't work out. One went about seven or eight picks before we were prepared to take him.
best competition create hard
We want to create the best competition we can, really, at every position, but we're going to look hard at the punter this year.
lucky maybe
With Ruben, that was an aberration. Maybe we got a little lucky there.
build contingent dealt football good hand obviously team
We're going in with the hand we dealt ourselves. We said that going in and we're comfortable with it. We feel good about our football team. If we're contingent on just one player, then obviously we didn't build this team to win.
