Let’s cut the B.S. and give you some straight info from OTAs:

Frame that pass, Johnny!

- Free Agent acquisition Pisa Tinoisamoa was working with the second team during Wednesday’s open-to-the-media workout. Last year’s starter, Nick Roach, was getting work with the first team. Pisa will take over the starting role

eventually, but for now this is the right way to go about it. Roach played well enough last year, make the new guy earn his role. One thing the Pisa addition brings to the team is depth. Jamar Williams, Hunter Hillenmeyer, and Nick Roach are all starters on almost any other NFL team. Hunter and Roach will fight it out to be the backup to the strong side, but Jamar would need an injury to Brian Urlacher or Lance Briggs to see the field. I love Jamar but I hope we don’t need him.

- Matt Forte hobbled off the practice field yesterday with “leg tightness.” It’s never good to see a cornerstone of your team limp off the field, but they’re probably just being overly cautious. If it was a Sunday in November, Forte would be in there.

- The receivers continue to adjust to Cutler-as-Quarterback. We all know he has a rocket arm when he needs to fit the rock into a tight place, but he’s also shown a nice touch on mid-range throws, especially to the slot receiver and tight ends. But no one wants to hear about that, so I’ll instead mention the way Cutler took a seven-step drop and fired a bomb down the right sideline to Devin Hester, which hit him perfectly in stride for six. I can’t wait to watch him unleash the dragon for real.

- Rookie Wide Receiver Johnny Knox, out of tiny Abilene Christian, has also been impressive. He’s arguably the fastest player on the field, but what’s been a nice surprise has been the quality of his hands. He catches everything away from his body and tucks it in before scampering past defenders. It’ll be a nice change of pace from Rashied Davis to have a guy who doesn’t even bobble passes, let alone drops them. Granted, no one’s trying to smear Knox’s organs all over the field yet, but it’s a good sign. Yet to be seen is if Knox has the size and strength to gain separation with NFL defenders.
