PATRIOTS NOTEBOOK: Brothers do battle at Pats-Bears practices
Stork got himself thrown out of practice for losing his temper and wildly swinging punches at Bears linebacker John Timu during an 11-on-11 drill. “Good things are going to happen, bad things are going to happen, you try and minimize the bad things, but when they do happen you have react well to them, you know your teammates are always watching you and you just want to react the right way”. His undeniable belief in his own abilities has influenced his improvement into a third-year pro who lives and breathes the opportunity to go up against the opposition’s best option in the passing game.
There will be other stories this week with the reunion with Martellus Bennett, the battling Long brothers – Chicago’s Kyle and New England’s Chris – and Akiem Hicks coming home.
Baffoe: Definitive Assessments From The Bears’ Loss In Preseason Opener – CBS Chicago – Don’t let anyone tell you the preseason doesn’t count.
The Bears got to experience a Bill Belichick practice. But how will he hold up in games, when running backs come right at him? For one thing, the Bears still have an unproven and inconsistent offense.
Can rookie cornerback Deiondre’ Hall build on his strong performance? Welcome to New England, fellas.
