Admit nothing
In their never-ending quest to divulge as little as possible, the Bears list two starters at each of the wide receiver positions.
On the left side, it's Rashied Davis/Devin Hester. On the right side, Marty Booker/Brandon Lloyd. Both listings are alphabetical, as is the starting quarterback spot, which reads: Rex Grossman/Kyle Orton. The third-team wide receivers are Mark Bradley and Mike Hass.
No other positions are split with slashes on the first depth chart of the season. Impressive rookie Matt Forte is listed ahead of veteran Adrian Peterson at running back, although they have both been getting reps with the first team. At tight end, Desmond Clark is listed as the starter with Greg Olsen No. 2, although Olsen could wind up getting more snaps.
Injured first-round pick Chris Williams is the third-team left tackle, behind undrafted rookie Cody Balogh and starter John St. Clair. On defense, third-round pick Marcus Harrison is third team at tackle, along with injured Dusty Dvoracek (calf), behind starters Tommie Harris and Anthony Adams and backups Israel Idonije and Matt Toeaina.
It's hard for me to get excited about this team. You have no offensive line, unproven running back in Forte, and just a ridiculous joke of a group of wide receivers. Maybe if it were 2004 or 2005 Marty Booker and Brandon Lloyd would excite me, but please. Throw in that Devin hester has no clue where to line up, and won't have his coach on the field this year in Muhammad, and somebody really needs to tell me how this team will score. Seriously? They better pray that they can run, because John Tait and his turnstile way of pass blocking will get Grossman killed early and often.
They will try to rely on Olsen and Clark, and pray that Grossman doesn't lose more games for a team in a desperate search for a reliable quarterback.
6 wins is, and should be the over/under for this team this year.
So technically for Thursday's game:
**One side is Rashied Davis OR Devin Hester AND then Mark Bradley
**The other side Marty Booker OR Brandon Lloyd AND ten Mike Hass
What happened to all the OTHER WR's in camp for the depth chart?
