Cover-2 succeeds because of way Bears coach it
The Cover-2 defense is boring. And it lacks creativity. I can't tell you how many times I've heard that about the two-deep scheme the Bears still lean on in their game plan. Sure, they have become more "multiple" with coordinator Rod Marinelli in...

Another obscure draft pick for Bears GM
Dressed comfortably for a long Thursday night in blue jeans and a Bears jacket, team Chairman George McCaskey entered Halas Hall and promptly placed a stack of 2013 pocket schedules on the receptionist's desk. How misleading. Nothing else the Bears...

Family business a natural for Bates, Bears
BOURBONNAIS — Jeremy Bates is new to the Bears, but he's totally at home in training camp. The team's new quarterbacks coach can measure his life in yard markers, tackling dummies and two-a-day practices. "When I was 5 years old at Texas Tech I was...

Bears offense as advertised, defense opening eyes
The Bears are a 4-1 team, a good one that has produced expected results over the first five weeks of the season. Outside of the loss in Green Bay when the Bears suffered a complete offensive meltdown, Lovie Smith's team beat the Colts in Andrew Luck's...

The Prospector: Football provides hope at Sanford Seminole
SANFORD — Just off the banks of where the Central Florida flow of the St. Johns River gets wide enough to be called a lake, the community of Sanford sits. It’s known for a lot of things. There’s history in this once-bustling river-port...

Hot prospect days behind him, Trestman's time finally has come
We can wonder if Marc Trestman can be a dynamic leader of one of this league's founding franchises in the country's second-largest NFL market. We can question if he will get through to Jay Cutler. We can ask if doing whatever he did to make Canadian...

Bears appear to have leverage in money battle with Forte
Sometimes it seems the closer the Bears get to training camp, the further they are from signing Matt Forte to a new contract. In fairness, negotiations have been hush-hush, so we really don't know where the sides are. But the outward signs are not...

Bears reaching for greatness
If the Bears had been picking 32nd instead of 20th, no one would have said boo about them selecting Kyle Long. But they were picking 20th, and they caught a lot of people by surprise. Based on my pre-draft research, I thought Long would be a second-...

Dan Pompei's NFL power rankings
Last week's ranking in parentheses 1. 49ers (5): People don't want to believe this team can be this good with Alex Smith at quarterback. Believe it. 2. Patriots (3): This is what you call an overpowering offense. 3. Ravens (4): Joe Flacco was...Tags: Tennessee Titans, Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins

Pompei's NFL power rankings
1. 49ers (1 last week): There isn't much not to like about the 49ers. At this point, the only question is who is No. 2? 2. Packers (4): Cut them some slack for losing to 49ers. They still are one fine football team. 3. Falcons (5): The defense is...
