What did we learn from the first Chicago Bears preseason game of 2008 against the Kansas City Chiefs?
We learned that they have three quarterbacks on the roster.
They don't just have Kyle Orton and Rex Grossman, they have Caleb Hanie too.
This guy played well in his first action in the league.

Bears-Chiefs Recap
zonersports.com 8/8/2008 — Garrett Wolfe had 2 big plays and some long, shifty runs. You’re lying if when you were watching you didn’t have visions of Warrick Dunn. My idea: Wolfe and Forte in the backfield on short to mid 3rd downs.

wheresubaldo.com 8/8/2008 — Without Cedric Benson and a decent QB, there were some positive things to come out of the Chicago Bears first pre-season game.

Running back Kevin Jones will practice with the Bears for the first time tonight after being cleared medically to do so. Jones had been recovering from reconstructive knee surgery he underwent in January. The timetable for such a recovery was said to be at least 10 months, which makes today’s news even more remarkable.
The myth of Bobby Sippio
chiefsblog.kansascity.com 8/9/2008 — One of the many negative aspects of last summer's visit to Chiefs camp of NFL Films and the Hard Knocks crew was that the show glorified a wide receiver of rather average talents by the name of Bobby Sippio.
I still receive regular e-mails from ...

Some of the NFL's most prolific offenses make extensive use of two-tight-end sets. The Bears' offense has quite a way to go before it is considered prolific, but the Bears are at the forefront of the two-tight-end movement. Tight ends accounted for ...

Nobody in a football-mad NFL city wants to hear about next year already with four weeks still left until this season's opener. But the Bears have to put 2009 and beyond ahead of everything else when considering the best way to deal with Chris ...
