I was thinking the other day, "what would JA have done differently"? Trade 2 3rds for Marshall? Who wouldn't? Sign Bush? Yes Sign Campbell? No Sign veteran special teamers? That's in his wheelhouse. Draft McClellin? Maybe Trade up for Jeffery? Probably not Draft Hardin? Again his M.O. Draft Gonzalez? Probably not Draft 2 DB's with potential in the late rounds? No. He would have been slobbering over the measurables of the next Webb. Although they are not far off on methodology. Emery killed him with the Jeffery trade and Campbell signing. I'm just hoping the lack of OL attention will not come back to haunt. Again.

I don't care who anyone says it's on, cause its always on the HC. Theres and old saying, "go with the devil you know". I think Williams is that.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/footb...0,3494879.story I think this has been mentioned a time or two...

My guess is that he has some chronic inflamation in his knee. We all have heard his views on getting medicated. At this point in his career, he's getting the shot and suiting up to play. Hell or high water will not stop him. Just like trying to hold him out of the Minny game, in which he was injured.

Url was the best player on the entire team when the 09 injury occurred. As of now, I'd take Peppers, Cutler, Forte, Briggs and Marshall over him. It would not be ideal, but we could survive. His loss may make everyone else pick up the torch. That's what winners do.

Yes indeed.

You may be on to somthing. Fear about his "water on the knee" may have him thinking about his future. Agreed on the Emery theory as well.

After watching the game on DVR, I was able to see a few things. DL - I'm not worried by talent anymore. I really like what I saw from McClellin, Wootten, Davis, Melton and Collins. Seems like we are going to have plenty of push from the interior. Peppers may feast this year. Idonije may lose his starting position to a platoon of Wootten and Mac. Damn, McClellin can close fast. OL - Spencer and E Williams were complete turds - horrible. Louis and Garza looked OK. Now the tackles. None of them looked all that good. C Williams looking the best of the 3. Carimi and Williams engage their assignment much faster than Webb / Williams at tackle. Webb is physically impressive, but is often late on assignments which leads to pressures and sacks.(I saw at least 3) Williams is very quick to set up on assignment, but seems to just hold on once engaged, unlike Webb who displays punch. All told, I think they know what they have in Williams with solid decision making and average physical ability. Then Webb, with the opposite. If you put Williams head on Webb you would have a perennial all pro. My guess is that Webb is getting a longer look because they are not liking what they see. It's the % of bad snaps that will get him benched and Cutler killed.

Easy, big guy. Losing him for a little while might end up being a blessing in disguise...

You are relentless... LMAO

I highly doubt TO ran a 4.4. Just cause it was put out there, doesn't make it true. After two weeks of camp he'll be running 4.8. He'll be lucky to have 500 yards and 5 TD's, let alone make the roster. I'm not arguing Moss, because I think he can be dominant if he chooses.

But they are tall and that give them the advantage. Sorry wesson, couldn't resist.

Sure. Come up with something and I'll counter. Should be fun...

I still think you are crazy. If you think you will see him put up numbers, you are completely delusional. Hes gonna suck and blame his team, coaches, and QB. It will be anything but his old age. I thought we were done with this tool and the seachickens bring him in. Makes me hate them, lol.

You called that one!

If that happens, I will lose all faith in the staff. That being said, I highly doubt it will happen. If we all remember correctly, Webb looked great in camp last year. Also, Carimi has not proven durable as of yet.

Bennett is our modern day Waddle. That's why. Not big, not fast, not flashy; he just catches everything, moves the chains, then gets up like he's done it before. I'm feelin it...

Impact plays would be very nice.

From what I just read in the Trib and Times Webb is going to be our LT. Factors from Williams being placed at RT, when it was his turn to start at LT and his confusion on what happened. They could have easily put Webb at RT today. Just speculation as I'm reading between the lines.

I think we do. Hayden has been the one jamming Jeffery too. Non CB related: I really think Brandin Hardin was drafted to play over the top safety on Megatron.

Lol. Come off the ledge man! Mcclellan will be fine if he can avoid the seal block from a TE.

I think they will let Url take a peek into free agency, while letting him know they will counteroffer. The only risk is that a team offers him great money with an ultimatum to sign now. That being said, it's going to have to be a team he feels is a contender. Not many great teams add an overaged MLB at a premuim price I'll be shocked if doesn't retire a Bear. Cutler, on the other hand(with another good season), is gonna get around 6/104mil with about 40 guaranteed. Wait till you see what Rodgers gets this year or next!

Melton is supposed to be that guy. I think he was almost the tops for sacks from the DT position last year and should still be on the rise. Paea will be our Booger if plans play out. If McClellin is who they thought they drafted, I think our DL will be the best we've seen since the Buddy Ryan days...

I like it. Hope he does well in camp or he'll get cut like a 7th rounder.

Disagree on all counts. I think it is an open competition to bring out the best of A)Williams, who has unachieved thus far and B)Webb, who needs to develop. To answer your question; you move your starting guard because you have a greater need at tackle and that was the position he was drafted and paid handsomely for. Williams probably jumped at the shot when given it, knowing that he would not be given the chance to go back to OG.(as would any football player with a little pride) The loser of the battle will need to be the swing tackle for the greater good of the team. Does anyone think that both of our starting OT's will go the entire season without missing time? Odds are not in favor of that. Carimi's knee worries the hell out of me. Plus, they don't give a damn about Webb's ego. He's now in his 3rd year and was the worst starting LT in the NFL.(That's humble pie)
