Days until first game - jersey #s

[BR0D1E86]

I'l be that guy. James Anderson. Bears legend for all of one season in 2013 after they picked him up from Carolina.

[BR0D1E86]

And now I'm getting stared down by this guy for that last post.... some guy named Singletary. He was pretty good too I guess.

[Otis Day]

8th round pick in 1988. Tate, a safety, would play in 78 games for the Bears over 5 seasons, starting 12. He played 5 more years after leaving the Bears with some moderate success in Indy (started 36 of 50 games)

[BR0D1E86]

Let’s not lose steam. Another long snapper, #48, Patrick Scales

[Otis Day]

One of the early Bears I remember, Allan Ellis. A 5th rd pick in 1973. He played 7 yrs for the Bears earning one Pro Bowl appearance in 1977. He had 6 ints that year. He finished his Bears career with 22 ints. He played his last year with the Chargers. He died in 2013 at the age of 62.

[Otis Day]

Reggie Phillips - 2nd rd pick in 1985 out of SMU. Played in 44 games with the Bears starting 14. Tallied 3 ints with the Bears. had the memorable INT TD return in the Super Bowl. Played 3 ordinary years in Chicago.

[Otis Day]

Beattie Feathers - played for Chicago from 1934-1937. Running Back out of U of Tennessee.

No one before Beattie Feathers had ever gained 1,000 yards rushing in a season, and no one repeated his feat for another thirteen seasons, until Steve Van Buren of the Philadelphia Eagles gained 1,008 yards in 1947. But he rushed for over 1,000 yards in 1934 and broke a barrier many thought impossible at that time. He was the star halfback on this historic team and was the main reason Coach George Halas moved the famed Red Grange primarily to wide receiver. Hall of Famer Bronko Nagurski said of Beattie: "Watching him run reminded me of watching a jackrabbit in a cornfield with a hound chasing him. He would change his pace and his direction all the time. He also stayed close to his interference. Beattie would stay with you as long as you could do him some good then he'd make his cut and go off on his own. "

Bears leading rusher in 1974 with a scant 475 yards and 2 TDs. Those were some lean years. I thought I was a big fan until 1975, then Sweetness arrived. Grandberry only played one year.

[Otis Day]

Gotta have this guy. Still the Bears all-time leading WR in yardage. Doesn't say much about the offensive talent that has stuck around here. Hell, Harlan HIll is 2nd!!

[UOK]

Paul Lasike, anyone?

[wab]

Not a lot if Isaiah Irving pics out there....

I only located one Mike spivey pic and it was a head shot with other multiple players, so I passed.

Angelo Coia
SE-WR from 1960-63. He had 70 receptions for 1204 for a 17.2 avg per catch. He had 12 TDs for the Bears. He died in 2013.

[Otis Day]

Curt Gentry

1966-68, played corner. Drafted in the 17th rd out of Mid-Eastern Shore. Finished his short career with 6 ints.

[BlueAndOrangeDog]

Chris Harris

A rarity in that he was traded away by the Bears, then later traded back again.

[Boris13c]

good ol' "Spleen Splitter" is definitely the one for today

[Boris13c]

this guy was pretty good too on some very bad Bears teams ... 1970 was his career year

[UOK]

Scott Dragos



Chris Massey



Brock Vereen



Joel Iyiegbuniwe

[BlueAndOrangeDog]

Harvey Unga.

Not only the perfect name for a fullback, but unique in that he is the Bears only supplemental draft pick.

[Otis Day]

12th overall pick in the 1972 draft, Craig Clemons. He was a solid DB for the Bears starting 58 of 82 games played for the Bears. Started every game from 73 thru 76. Finished his career with 9 ints. Played on some bad 70s teams.

He actually wore 3 #s for the Bears while on the team. He wore #45 in 74 and 75. He also wore 25 and 43.

[Otis Day]

Terry Schmidt,1976-84, CB. Underrated white corner, surprise. Played when the team started to turn it around but unfortunately for him, he missed the Super Bowl. Schmidt played in 121 games for the Bears, starting 77. He started every game from 77 thru 81. He had 21 ints for the Bears with his high being 6 in 79. He had 5 in 83. My guy for the day.

Nice pic from the old Dog Pound, Cleveland. Look at all the room from the sideline to the stands. I am thinking that is Ozzie Newsome getting the rib shot.

Terry Schmidt was also a dentist, who finished top of his class at Loyola.

Curtis Enis ... so much potential ... so much failure

[wab]

No...no...that's not Nick Kwiatkowski.

It's the legendary Jeremy Cain.

[Otis Day]

Garry Lyle - DB, 1968-74. Started 38 of 84 games for the Bears. 12 ints.

[Z Bear]

The man, the MYTH, the legend........
