Chicago Bears DE Corey Wootton is indeed becoming the Coreysaurus

By

Chicago Bears defensive end Corey Wootton is starting to grow into the nickname he's always had. "They call me Coreysaurus, cuz of my height and long neck," Wootton told me in an exclusive during his days at Northwestern. In 2012, the 6'8" and lanky Corey Wootton started to play like that ferocious dinosaur nickname on the professional level. In Week 9 against the … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears DE Corey Wootton is indeed becoming the Coreysaurus

The offensive tackle, tight end, and linebacker positions were all upgraded. But with the NFL Draft less than a week away, predictions are still all over the board for who the Bears may take … [Read more...] about What is the Chicago Bears Biggest Need?

The Numbers Behind the Bears’ Domination of the Titans

By

In 2000, the Tennessee Titans pulled off the famous “Music City Miracle”. In 2012, the Bears stormed into Nashville and put on a performance that from this day forth should be known as the “Music City Massacre” (I’m trademarking this).   If they hadn’t done so already, the Bear’s firmly placed their names amongst the NFC’s elite with their 51-20 shellacking of the … [Read more...] about The Numbers Behind the Bears’ Domination of the Titans

Don’t Underestimate the Chicago Bears

By

After the dust had settled following the Bear’s third consecutive season opening win at Soldier Field, there was only one thing going through my mind: “The Bears are WHO WE THOUGHT THEY WERE!” But this time, it wasn’t as if Denny Green and the Arizona Cardinals “let us off the hook”. The Bears couldn’t have had their opening 3 minutes go any worse if they planned to. … [Read more...] about Don’t Underestimate the Chicago Bears

Chicago Bears week 2 success; overshadowed by injuries

By

Following Saturday’s performance by the starting unit, Bears fans everywhere should be exhaling a huge sigh of relief this week. Cutler-to-Marshall was finally on display, the line actually protected Jay (gasp!), and Israel Idonije led the first team defense in their solid effort to contain RG3. Instead, fans and the Bears front office are forced to keep an eye on an … [Read more...] about Chicago Bears week 2 success; overshadowed by injuries

Other than a Favre-Crusher, Who is the Bears Corey Wootton?

By

Before the Chicago Bears utterly demolished the Minnesota Vikings Monday night in the Ice World of Hoth that was TCF Bank Stadium, Chicago rookie defensive lineman Corey Wootton was pretty much an obscurity to NFL fans. After Wootton slammed Brett Favre to the turf, and ended the 41-year-old QB's night (and possible career) he instantly became much closer to one day becoming … [Read more...] about Other than a Favre-Crusher, Who is the Bears Corey Wootton?

Northwestern Rebuilds D Line after Loss of Wootton

By

When Northwestern takes the field Saturday night at Vanderbilt they'll do so without Corey Wootton, who's now graduated and moved on to the Chicago Bears. The stud defensive end was a key player for the Cats for four years, and one of the most dominant defensive linemen in the program's history. But life goes on in 2010, and the adjustment won't be as difficult as one might … [Read more...] about Northwestern Rebuilds D Line after Loss of Wootton

NU’s Corey Wootton stays in the Chi, drafted by Bears

By

By Paul M. Banks Hopefully, for the sake of Corey Wootton, the Chicago Bears, and the Northwestern Wildcats, this pick turns out more like Alex Brown than Michael Haynes. The Bears have had a very mixed bag lately when it comes to drafting defensive ends. But it became official Saturday morning during the NFL Draft, the "Coreysaurus" is staying in the Chi, trading in his … [Read more...] about NU’s Corey Wootton stays in the Chi, drafted by Bears
