    A key to improving the Bears will be resurrecting the defense under new defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli. "My best definition of Marinelli is that he is a tough SOB," said linebacker Lance Briggs. "He is the kind of guy you want to play for. … We are not the team that went to the Super Bowl. … We have a different attitude and it's going to take a new attitude for us to be successful. The goal for us is to get back to being the real Monsters of the Midway." Marinelli was the Bears defensive line coach in 2009 after serving as the Lions head coach for three years.

    Not sure why this has a Lions logo but good for Coach Rod, he's better suited as a DC than a HC.

    My mistake. Those two logos are a line apart and I must've been thinking of the Lions.

    He comes across the same way Briggs described him. He is a very good defensive coordinator.
