Ex-Bear Meriweather Signs With Redskins
Free agent safety Brandon Meriweather has signed a two-year, $6 million deal with the Washington Redskins.
Bowen: Safties Have To Change Style Of Play
Matt Bowen of The National Football Post and Chicago Tribune said it’s not just Meriweather who needs to change — it’s safeties across the board.
Meriweather Pledges To Change
After the NFL took $45,000 out of his paychecks and Lovie Smith took his starting role away, it seems Brandon Meriweather finally understands that he can’t get away with illegal hits.
Meriweather: NFL Policing Defenders Too Much
Apparently, Brandon Meriweather is getting sick of the NFL taking money out his paycheck for illegal hits.
Holmes’ Mailbag: Who Gets Benched Next?
With the Bears 3-3, let’s see what’s on the mind of Bears fans in this week’s edition of Laurence Holmes’ mailbag.
Bowen: What’s Really Going On With Harris?
After the Bears were embarrassed on a national stage in their Monday night loss to the Lions, it seemed obvious change was coming.
Bernstein: Coaches Buy Some Trust…For Now
Lovie Smith does appear to have his own supply of paper towels, though, that he’s been able to pull out of the supply closet, to unroll as needed to mop up the pessimism (and who would engage in that, dare I ask?) and keep his team from slipping into the abyss.
Peppers Active For Sunday Night
Though listed as doubtful with a sprained MCL, Bears defensive end Julius Pepper is active for Sunday night’s contest against the Vikings.
Holmes: What To Watch For – Bears vs Vikings
If Monday was a “must have”, then Sunday is a must win. If the Bears were to lose against Minnesota, they would drop to 2-4, with all four losses coming in the NFC. It would also make them 0-3 in the division. When it comes to tie-breaker math, that ain’t good. So here’s what I’m watching for Sunday night:
Harris, Meriweather Benched For Sunday
Chris Harris and Brandon Meriweather are expected to be benched in favor of Major Wright and Chris Conte for Sunday’s game. Wright and Conte are expected to get the first-team reps at strong and free safety, respectively, during Thursday’s practice.
Bowen to Meriweather: Get it Right, Or Get Lost
When one of the most respected coaches in NFL history releases a 27-year-old, two-time Pro Bowler that he used a first-round draft pick on in 2007, there must be something the rest of the league isn’t seeing.
Bowen: Bears Safeties Need To Get It Together
The Bears may have won Sunday, but Smith torched the Bears secondary for 181 yards on eight catches as the defense surrender 543 yards of total offense to the Panther.
Shepkowski: The Good, Bad and Ugly of Bears-Panthers
It doesn’t get categorized as “pretty” but 2-2 looks much better a quarter of the way through the regular season than 1-3 would. The running game was much improved compared to the last two weeks, but there were still plenty of weak spots on both sides of the ball where the Bears need to improve.
Man Charged With Rape At Home Of Bears’ Meriweather
A Mississippi man has reportedly been charged with raping a woman at the home of Bears’ safety Brandon Meriweather.
Holmes: Meriweather Trying To Get Up To Speed
After the Bears signed Brandon Meriweather, the team’s new safety got to work. He headed to Halas Hall for a late night review session with safeties coach, Gil Byrd, and is looking to get up to speed as soon as possible.
Bears Waive CB Moore To Make Room For Meriweather
The Chicago Bears have waived cornerback Joshua Moore, clearing room for Pro Bowl safety Brandon Meriweather.
Bears Sign Safety Brandon Meriweather
The Chicago Bears have signed free-agent safety Brandon Meriweather to a one-year contract.
