    Bears: Bears thinking RB... again
    The News
    As we ponder the rushing attack in Chicago, thoughts shared by coach Lovie Smith, the team is putting action in motion by welcoming two potential draft picks into Chicago for personal workouts and interviews. University of Texas RB Jamaal Charles and Tulane RB Matt Forte have spent time with Smith and his coaching staff in an effort to evaluate their potential employment with the Bears, according to ProFootballTalk.com. Rumors also indicate the team is interested in meeting with University of Arkansas RB Felix Jones.

    Our View
    Those names suggest the Bears are looking to use a later pick, namely their 2nd- or 3rd-round selections, to add such a player. Cedric Benson has been rather disappointing (another in a long line of failed experiments by Bears management, strongly believed to be the final decision makers in many of these picks rather than putting such responsibility solely in the hands of the coach), and Smith seems all too happy to consider introducing options and competition to the position. Of course, speculation will revolve around their first pick of the draft, 14th overall. The team has a laundry list of needs and great intrigue revolves around that decision. Stay tuned.

    I think its safe to say we all are. I must say though I'm a bit shocked he hasnt worked out for them. I thought he had all the ability to be a great player in this league. Maybe a change of scenery could help him out. Things definately arent working out for him in Chicago. But yes, I too am much happier with our decision to take Ronnie. :up:
