[CBFF] Thoughts Scribbles and Misc

[Jason Cetina]

I've been having a few misc thoughts like this, too.

My main thought is around health. If this team stays healthy, they can 
probably return to 2005 form (2006 form might be out of reach). I also 
think the defense has a lot more depth now than it did last year, 
especially in the line (Matt Toeaina (sp?), Marcus Harrison, and Dvoracek).

We still have depth problems in offense, and need upgrade at WRs. If the 
O-line stabilizes, the offense will be adequate.

Everybody in the media seems to think that this is the Vikings year, but 
I'm skeptical. AP is on tape now, and I don't think Berrian is going to 
help them that much. They're a solid team, but they just don't scare me. 
Plus, they stayed very healthy last year. I doubt they'll do as well 
this year.

I'm always optimistic in the summer, but I like the Bears' chances in 
the NFC North as well as any other team.

And for the record, I hope Mike Brown comes back, plays all pro, and 
gets a nice extension. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuuKRO6jbbw
