  Bears | Could try Jamar Williams at strongside linebacker    Sat Jul 11, 03:00 PM

Larry Mayer, from Chicagobears.com, reports the Bears likely try Jamar Williams at strongside linebacker this summer in training camp, especially if Williams picks up where he left off in the OTA practices. No linebacker made more plays on the ball in those workouts than Williams, who could challenge for a starting job alongside Brian Urlacher and Lance Briggs.

Footballguys view: Mayer asked linebackers coach Bob Babich about the competition at the strongside position involving Hunter Hillenmeyer, Pisa Tinoisamoa and Nick Roach. Babich's first response was "You've got to throw in Jamar Williams also." Williams was once considered a possible heir to Lance Briggs (along with Michael Okwo) on the weak side when it was assumed that the Bears weren't going to keep him in free agency.

  Bears | Jamar Williams having a great offseason    Fri Jun 12, 03:27 PM

Yahoo! Sports reports that LB Jamar Williams is having a terrific offseason after being replaced by Nick Roach late last season.

Footballguys view: GM Jerry Angelo praised Williams athleticism, awareness, confidence, and intelligence. He also called him a "three down player". Williams has stiff competition to start in the form of Roach, Hunter Hillenmeyer, and new acquisition Pisa Tinoisamoa, but if he keeps the momentum up through training camp, he will be hard to keep off the field.
