    It'll be interesting to observe the subtle changes within the Bears offense this season. One possible scenario might be for Matt Forte and Kevin Jones to line up in the same backfield on certain plays. "We'll do some of that," said offensive coordinator Ron Turner before Friday's practice. "We did a little of that in the OTAs, and we'll do a little bit of that. We have a lot of guys that can do different things, so we can add more things personnel wise." Tuner went on to emphasize the importance of allowing Forte to rest a little on game day. "We got to spell Matt. Matt had too many snaps last year," said Turner. "We got to get other guys involved and get Kevin on the field."
