Bauzin eager for chance to prove worth to Bears

Dan Bazuin has heard the rumblings but chooses to ignore them. The Bears defensive end knows many are wondering if he will remain with the team past this weekend, with the 53-man roster limit approaching.

Just say NO to Fred Miller!

Nice to see the newsroom cuts aren't affecting quality, like spelling errors in headlines! It's BAZUIN!!!

[Da Bearss]

Please Fred, for the love of God, sign with Tampa. Just think about it, nice warm weather... and they have cheerleaders, too!

[Dave]

Let the Fred Miller love fest commence!

[Andy H]

He is just another really bad pick.

[Bill Holland]

You guys are pathetic! Yes Fred is older and has a problem with false starts occasionally, but he also has been a solid veteran tackle for years protecting quarterbacks. He is still a solid player I believ and just ask Steve McNair if he trusts Fred. He is still a solid reserve Tackle who if called upon would play above average even at this stage of his career.

Another draft bust by Angelo. Even when healthy he doesnt really show anything. Trying to get Fred Miller back is just a penalty flag waiting to be thrown. How ridiculous is Angelo and Lovie for not having the balls to stand up to him.

I hope we keep Bazuin. Maybe after the season is over, we'll focus a bit on the offense. Maybe we'd release one of the older guys, Wale or ABrown, and use that money for the offense. Bazuin could step into an important back up role for us, I expect him to be a good player for us.

I hope Bazuin plays well and makes the team. But one again, a major reach for the "out-to-lunch" Jerry Angelo. ALSO: If Fred Miller signs with the Bears, I'm changing my prediction to 4-12. Not a hater just a realist. Mother McCaskey, please, please, please for the love of your father. FIRE Ted Phillips. He has ruined this franchise. If you must keep him on the payroll, fine, its your money, BUT reassign to custodian, or asst. equipment manager, or asst. groundskeeper and hire one Mike Ditka as team president.

Bazuin has looked good. Like some other young players, needs more playing time--last years Old Defensive Ends have had all the starts this year.

The San Francisco game showed little of newer Chicago players on line ----lack of playing time for many. Bazuin was given only 4th quarter defensive end play time, starters got three quarters---tuning up last years players.

Bazuin had a sack and 2 tackles in a few minutes. Keep him.
