I love it

Well Bears fans, since we last spok the Bears have added former St. Louis Rams LB Pisa Tinoisomoa and former Lions TE Michael Gaines to the roster, and they've signed all of their 2009 NFL Draft picks, the first team in the league to achieve that distinction this off season.

I love what I'm seeing out of Halas Hall. The trade for QB Jay Cutler is the centerpiece, but their have been a flurry of solid moves in addition to that masterstroke. 

The offensive line has the potential to be as good as it's been in recent memory. They've invested heavily in the defensive line and added the best D-line coach in the game. They've given themselves some good options at safety through free agency and the draft. Adding an extremely active and productive Tinoisamoa to the linebacking corps should make that unit about as good as it gets.  And while they haven't gone out and signed that marquee receiver (yet?) they've thrown enough bodies at it that Cutler ought to be able to find something to work with there. 

I'm not as worried about WR as everyone else is and here's why:

It's not a stretch to say Hester can improve to 1,000 yards this season. Someone else in the Earl Bennett, Juaquin Iglesias, Johnny Knox, Derek Kinder, Brandon Rideau group has to step up to be a legitimate number two, and the fight is on between the rest of them and Rashied Davis to fill the number three spot. I don't think that's going to be the worst group of receivers in the NFL. I think it will be a better group of receivers than we've had around here definitely since Berrian left. 

With the other weapons we have on offense–Matt Forte, Greg Olsen, Desmond Clark ... Garrett Wolfe?— and Jay Cutler, that could work out alright.
