    he Bears are counting on running back Kevin Jones to help share the workload with starter Matt Forte this season. Jones figures to see more action than he did last year when he had just 34 carries for 109 yards. He impressed coaches during OTA practices with his speed, quickness and cutting ability. "We're a running football team," Smith said. "We're going to pound the ball quite a bit. That's why it's important for Kevin. It's also important for [third-stringer] Garrett Wolfe. Garrett has had a good offseason too. You need at least two and then maybe even three [running backs]."

    I really like Kevin Jones. I guess he just wasn't completely ready last year.
