Maybe its time for JMU to do this

Dean Lowry, a Northwestern grad, now plays for the Packers. He went to school and played high school football with my nephew so I watched him a lot growing up. He's the only reason this Bear fan watches any Packer games. He's a great young man from a wonderful family and I am so excited to see him playing well this year.

Bears starting TE Zach Miller suffered a likely season-ending (and very serious) injury yesterday. This opens the door for more playing time and a chance to shine for our Daniel Brown.

The Green Bay Packers signed LS Derek Hart on Nov. 3, 2017.

He played and got a James Madison shoutout in the game last night!

Josh Wells started and played the whole game for Jax today at left tackle. They didn’t rush for a ton of yards but also didn’t give up any sacks.

Wells and Watford both in the starting line up and playing each other today.

Daniel Brown had 2 catches for 20 yards today.

Marlowe was just signed to the Bills practice squad.

Arthur Moats just had some FaceTime on sportscenter as he was interviewed about how the team is dealing with the Shazier injury.

Hope Arthur is being groomed to be a coach in Pittsburgh. Not only are the Rooneys honorable and loyal, they are big believers in young leadership.

Yeah he's kind of disappeared from a stats perspective this year but he's still been pretty visible in the media. People really like him (understandably). It would be great if he became a coach.

I remember earlier in his career he said he wanted to go back and be mayor of his hometown. A noble goal - but maybe not the best use of his talent.

Think Arthur has been playing mostly on special teams this season.

Correct. He had a spot start a few weeks ago when rookie TJ Watt was out for a game and AM stepped in at OLB. I'd love to see him coaching with the Steelers but even better in H'burg. Dude bleeds purple.

Rashard Davis has been released from the Eagles' practice squad, FWIW.

Daniel Brown has 3 catches for 32 yards today for the Bears.

Cardinals and Bears both submitted requests to interview Eagles’ QB coach John DeFilippo for their HC job, per source.

Will he be the HC for Earl Watford or Daniel Brown?

He's actually back again. They've released him and brought him back so many times it's tough to keep track of. Basically every time they have an injury they let him go only to bring him back a couple weeks later.

January 14, Sunday, 1pmET, CBS...Jaguars at Steelers...AFC Divisional playoffs...

...2 of our guys will be Duke"ing" it out...


Josh Wells

vs.


Arthur Moats

Good luck to them both. Nice knowing at least 1 of them will have a shot at getting to Minneapolis and the Super Bowl.

(note, Jags destroyed the Steelers in the Steel City earlier this year as the Jags' terrific defense intercepted Big Ben about 700 times in that game)
