Still in bed when his girlfriend told him the Chicago Bears

All-Pro Khalil Mack Authentic Leon Hall Jersey , left tackle Charles Leno Jr. didn't quite believe it at first.Once it sunk in, he ran down to the basement.Leno turned on the camera, cranked up Mark Morrison's "Return of the Mack" and started dancing. The video he posted on social media of himself pretty much sums up the mood around the Bears."We're trying to win," Leno said Monday. "We're not settling to be last in the pack. We're trying to win and win games here, change the culture of the organization."The Bears drove that point home Saturday with a blockbuster trade for one of the NFL's best pass rushers. Chicago also made him the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history with a six-year, $141 million extension that guarantees $90 million.Mack practiced for the first time Monday after holding out the entire offseason and preseason trying to get a new deal with Oakland rather than play under the final year of his rookie contract.Coach Matt Nagy said the Bears will monitor his conditioning this week before deciding whether he plays in the opener.Chicago visits Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. And that primetime matchup sure has some added intrigue."I hope that everyone's excited, our fan base is excited," general manager Ryan Pace said. "I know our organization is excited."The trade for Mack finished off a busy offseason in which Chicago changed coaches and gave quarterback Mitchell Trubisky some new playmakers, including former Jacksonville Pro Bowl receiver Allen Robinson.Adding the 2016 NFL Defensive Player of the Year to an already solid defense ratcheted up a building buzz around a team with four straight last-place finishes in the NFC North. Whether the Bears can leap to a playoff spot, they are at least in the conversation."There's certain moves that are power moves and there's certain moves that say 'hey Youth Johnny Townsend Jersey , we're all in,'" defensive end Akiem Hicks said. "And I think that's one of those moves."With 40陆 sacks in four seasons, Mack figures to have a huge impact on a defense that ranked 10th overall last season.Hicks had visions of "a lot more one on ones" with teams doubling up on the Bears' new star pass rusher. And cornerback Prince Amukamara was seeing more opportunities for interceptions with quarterbacks under pressure."I would say the clock in the quarterback's head is I'm sure going to be a lot shorter," he said.He also praised the front office for a "great job of due diligence."And guard Kyle Long said: "Our defense just got a lot tougher. And we get to practice against a tougher defense now, and that's going to be great for us."The trade also emphasizes just how serious management is about turning around a struggling franchise.The Bears have just one playoff appearance since the 2006 team reached the Super Bowl, and the most recent time they had a winning record was in 2012. Chicago fired coach Lovie Smith after that season, replaced him with Marc Trestman and went 8-8 the following year.Since then, it's been nothing but last-place finishes in the division and frustration for the fan base. But the past few days?"It's been very exciting," Nagy said. "Probably the time I think about it the most is when I'm in my car, driving home. That's really when you can just get away from everybody and everything and you can just kinda sit back and realize where you're at. Collectively http://www.raidersauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jared-cook-jersey , it's everybody. It's an exciting situation for us as a team, as a city, as an organization."NOTES: Nagy said there's a "good chance" LG Eric Kush starts over James Daniels against Green Bay. ... Nagy expects OLB Leonard Floyd — who practiced Monday with a club on his broken right hand — to play in the opener. Floyd broke his hand at Denver on Aug. 18. "I feel good that he'll be playing," Nagy said. ... QB Tyler Bray and WR Tanner Gentry were among the 10 players signed to the practice squad. Both were let go by Chicago on Saturday. This was a must-win type of game, which is a bad sign for this team being that we’re so early in the season. A worse sign was how they responded to the situation they were in — with their worst performance of the season by far.They were held scoreless in the first quarter, adding a field goal early in the second quarter. That score was the only one they would have that mattered. By the half they were down 17-3 and by the end of the third quarter, the game was essentially in the bag for the Chargers.BallersDaryl Worley, Erik HarrisEven Worley had a couple miscues, but overall he had more positive plays. He didn’t get the start, but when he entered the game in place of Gareon Conley for the second drive Marshawn Lynch Jersey , he made an impact. Just after the Chargers crossed midfield, they were in third and ten and attempted a screen pass into the left flat. Worley dipped and drove through his blocker to make the tackle in the backfield for a loss to force a Chargers punt.Early in the second quarter, after the Raiders tied it up at 3-3, he held the edge on a sweep to turn the runner back inside where he was stacked up for a loss of four. Two plays later, in third and 5, Harris made the tackle on Antonio Gates and Worley came up to help stop him short of the sticks for another punt.The following drive Harris made a tackle for loss on a run out wide to set up a three-and-out. The drive after that began with Worley getting into the backfield to slow up the Melvin Gordon to allow for him to be tackled for no gain. A few plays later, the Chargers would score on a dump pass to Austin Ekeler he took for a 44-yard touchdown. Can’t win ‘em all.Up 17-3 in the third, the Chargers got the ball at midfield and quickly drove down field. An offsides by PJ Hall took them from third and nine to third and four and Worley made the stop on the catch short of the sticks to force them to settle for a 30-yard field goal.Worley only real mistake was giving up a 12-yard catch on third and 11 to allow the Chargers to drive for their final touchdown of the game. But by then they were already up 20-3 and would probably added at least a field goal anyway.Honorable MentionGabe Jackson — There wasn’t much doing in the run game, but Jackson had a few gap opening blocking and kept his man out of the backfield.Continue to the Busters
