Training camp means Chicago Bears camp battles. Players will be fighting for starting jobs, roles in sub packages, and roster spots. The Chicago Bears<\/a> are no different, despite having a 12-4 record and earning their first playoff berth since 2010 last season. There are not a lot of openings in the starting lineup, but the ones that exist are key. And there is one role that the entire city wants the team to get right that is still proving problematic.<\/p>\n

Who Totes the Rock: Mike Davis vs. David Montgomery<\/h3>\n

As soon as Jordan Howard<\/strong><\/a> was traded<\/a> to the Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> it was clear the position would be a focal point. The Bears went out and signed<\/a> former Seattle Seahawks<\/a> and San Francisco 49ers<\/a>\u00a0back Mike Davis<\/strong><\/a> to a two-year deal. But they were not done, as they drafted David Montgomery<\/strong><\/a> out of Iowa State in the third round of the draft. So who will win the most notable of the Bears camp battles and be the lead back? Tarik Cohen<\/strong><\/a> is omnipresent in this offense, but the attention paid to the position likely means the majority of the carries will be split between Davis and Montgomery.<\/p>\n
