While I was in Chicago yesterday for some NFL Network-type things, I stopped by Halas Hall to check in on the Bears. You saw this yesterday, and there will be more to read on NFL.com next week. One thing I came away with, though, is a different understanding of WR Brandon Marshall. I had a long talk with Bears WR coach Darryl Drake, focusing on what it’s like to deal with Marshall. Like all of us, Drake had heard things about the lightning rod receiver before he arrived. Since then? It hasn’t been what he expected. “Unbelievable.
