Allgemeines » The Bears are going to be celebrating their 100th season

in a variety of ways this year and a good deal of that attention will likely go to the 1985 edition of the team.That team is the only Super Bowl winner in franchise history Cody Parkey Jersey , it was stuffed with big personalities that have made the group resonate far outside of Chicago and it featured one of the best defenses in NFL history.It’s hard to imagine another Bears team replicating or bettering the success of that team or that defense, but that’s safety Eddie Jackson‘s goal for the coming year. He said the unit is “more aggressive” under new coordinator Chuck Pagano and he’s plenty aggressive when it comes to how he expects the group to do this year.“I’ll go right now for our defense to be No. 1 across the board. Like I told ’em earlier, shouts out to the ’85 Bears, but we want to top everything they’ve done http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-khalil-mack-jersey ,” Jackson said on SiriusXM NFL Radio.Jackson said the Bears have “everything to prove” after falling in their first playoff game last year. Coming anywhere close to a comparison to those other Bears would go a long way toward providing that proof. Among the gimmicks the Bears have tried this year in their kicking competition was the “Augusta silence” in which everyone stood quietly and still while candidates kicked in practice.But since they made every turn of their search for a kicker a thing, now the Bears would prefer to borrow another golfing tradition — a little polite applause.“I think the other thing we’re trying to get to is the clapping, to get it non-existent,” Bears special teams coordinator Chris Tabor said Womens Walter Payton Jersey , via J.J. Stankevitz of NBCSportsChicago.com. “A little more of a golf clap, and if you get it to that, that means they expect you to make it. So that’s what we’re trying to get to.”Every since they made a pariah out of Cody Parkey after last year’s double-doink playoff miss, the Bears have tried just about everything. They had nine guys (including a punter) trying field goals in rookie minicamp http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-jim-mcmahon-jersey , and at the moment have whittled the competition to two.That’s no guarantee that either Elliott Fry or Eddy Pineiro will be the guy — they’ve already admitted they’re watching every other kicking competition in every other camp — but that’s where they’re at now.At the moment, things are going well. Pineiro made eight of his nine field goal attempts Thursday, including a 60-yarder. Fry will kick today as they alternate between the two, but the results are already better than the spring workouts.“To a man Tarik Cohen Jersey , [the] OTA performance wasn’t good enough,” Tabor said. “And they understand that. And we’re out front with that. And they’re performing. They can only control what they can control. And I think both guys are doing that. You know? We’ll see how it plays out.”And despite creating so much of the attention themselves by the way they’ve approached this search, they hope that eventually seeing a Bears kicker hit a field goal doesn’t require an ovation.
