Training Camp Tidbits: August 9

Only personnel change on the line could come at RG, not LGThe brain trust is trying to convince us that the offensive line will be better because Mike Tice is coaching , Chris Williams and Frank Omiyale are returning to the position they are most comfortable with and Olin Kreutz is healthy. No personnel changes, though, except for at left guard. Or is it right guard?
Reports now say that Lance Louis has become the favorite for Roberto Garza's old position. But Garza isn't done. He'll just move to left guard. Still, only one personnel change. [

Time for everyone to love Juaquin IglesiasJuaquin Iglesias and Major Wright both returned to practice on Sunday night; however, no one told me Sunday/Monday was the day for Iglesias love. Every Bear has a day, especially if he's a newly acquired free agent or a draft pick still trying to find himself, when he is fawned over. Now, after returning from injury and apparently having a decent practice, it's Iglesias' turn.
And he showed Lovie Smith something:
"We keep telling players if you keep working hard, eventually you’re
going to get a chance to prove what you can do,” Smith said. “Juaquin
coming back from an injury showed up tonight, and that’s what you need
to do."
Unfortunately for Iglesias he plays a position (
/eye roll) "stocked with promising young players." [

Bears make minor moveMike Teel hasn't been healthy, so he had to go. In his place, not a veteran quarterback, but Zeke Markshausen. [
