Offense has struggled withinjuries to the Offensive Line. Kyle Long is question‐able for the season opener against the Texans. JayCutler has not had enough time to show what he cando because of the Offensive Line. Jeremy Langford isnot the answer as the full time back he lacks blockingskills and is not a threat catching the ball as a receiverthis is an important feature in the Bears scheme. Jef‐fery and Royal will start the season at Wide receiverJeffery is a deep threat but struggles in double cover‐age. Royal is a Veteran but has been limited because ofinjury during preseason. his Offensive is going tostruggle.On Defense the Bears will be better against the pass incoverage with the improvement to the Secondary.Linebacker and D Line are big question marks with un‐proven players starting the season because of injuries.First three weeks this team will struggle.Special Teams - got Robbie Gould that's about it no re‐turn threat on kickoff and punting will be an issue.Overall this team inished last season at 6 and 10which could have been 10 and 6 because they lost 7games by 2 points or less. John Fox proved last seasonhe could get more bang for his buck with encouragingeffort and inishing plays. But I, need to say this thetalent on this team is lacking we have to wait and seehow they can perform this week in practice headinginto the season opener against the Texans. Next weeka full preview of the 2016 Bears and how they willstack up in the NFC North.

Kendall Weekly Times 13Cubs Report By Dick KolfChicago Cubs are an on roll winning 10 of the last 11and are on pace to clinch the Central Division bySeptember 16 th which is the earliest in franchise his‐tory. he 2016 Cubs have been on a mission to provethat last year was no luke. Individual stats has taken aback seat this season with a more team concept be‐coming the law of the club house. Yes players are hav‐ing good years like Kris Bryant, Antony Rizzo , andJake Arietta to name a few , but what's refreshingabout this year's team is it's ability to rise the perfor‐mance of others and even the players that are as itcould be said struggling are still out there hustling andsupporting their teammates.his club learned a lesson last season in that seriesagainst the Mets and that was being more talenteddoes not always equal the wins. Intensity in the club‐house has equated to hustle on the ield. In Saturday'sloss to the Giants in the 8th inng Javier Baez ground‐ed to short and instead of just accepting the out Baezhustled and was called out but showed the commit‐ment to going that extra mile. Champions are mea‐sured by their heart and the willingness to put fourththat little bit of extra effort that transcends intoTitles. he Cubs are showing that up and down theRoster the starting pitching has emerged as the brightspot of the Cubs with Marshal and Lester adding qual‐ity starts and being bear impossible to hit through Au‐gust.his week ahead for the Cubs Brewers and Astros 13and counting Cubs fans 40 games above 500 and a 15game lead in the Central. Let's keep up the hustle andbring home the NL Central Crown.

14 Kendall Weekly TimesSox Report by Kyle Veeder Chicago White Sox did show a sign of life taking two of three from the Twins. hey are just playing for re‐ spectability and giving the young kids the opportunity to play for roster spots next season. Sox need to re‐ build in getting some speed added to the lineup right now the core to build around is Todd Frazier who set the franchise Home Run record for third baseman this season with 35, Jose Abreu who has heated up and will inish the season with solid numbers. Melky Cabera has been bright spot all season long. Chris Sale has been his usual impressive self. With that as a core this team does have a future in the AL Central but changes off the ield are more needed right now than on. Ken Williams has managed to alienate the fans and the team with his Czar like approach to running the team. He continues to dominate things behind closed doors and at this point it's all about his ego. Robin Ventura has kept this club healthy and playing well in spite of all the obstacles in his path. Robin deserves one more season at the helm to see if he can truly mange in the Majors. Sox fans lets go out on a limb and talk about bringing Ozzie back as GM. He understands what needs to be done and has proven he can win. His home is on the Southside, his passion is for the Sox , and he loves the city and the fans. Resindorf is loyal and maybe being loyal to someone who cares about your club would ac‐ tually go a long way in helping to bring this franchise back to respectability. Just a thought Mr. Reseindorf .
