Thread: ESPN: Bears going with Webb, Carimi at OT. Competition over.

Well, if he doesn't get it, he will. Tice knows his nuts are in the vice. The OL needs to be better and Tice has been behind Webb. Tices wind is going to blow in the same direction as Webbs. That means Tice's patience with him could be short if he does not get better.

Webb is just going to have to get the job done. Webb winning it was fine with me. Totally fine. It was when Tice said that neither person had run away with it that I became concerned. That means to me that we probably have the same level of play we did last year, and we don't have any player able to elevate that level of play on the team. Tice is hoping Webb will take the next step. So do all of us.

My concern with that is that Webb appears to be taking it less seriously than he maybe should be, and that usually is not a precursor to a big step up.

You get the feeling that this kid just thinks it's being handed to him (which it kinda is) and doesn't see yet that SUBSTANTIAL IMPROVEMENT is needed. Sounds like his dedication and work ethic and coachability is being questioned here..and he's being challenged to "get it and show it". Let's hope he does this month because this crap shouldn't need to be said anymore.

The time for excuses is over. He ranked as the worst starting LT in the whole NFL last year and that must change starting in September.

Part of that could be that it takes time to learn the LT position. But folks don't want a repeat of his performance of last season.

So, it's not being "for" or "against" anyone. Just fans wanting the oline to be solid this year.

Exactly!

So far you have brought zero facts to your curse laden tirade. If all you have to lean on is your own opinion, just stop posting in this thread and move on to the next opportunity to alienate everyone.

And I'm hoping you get the opportunity too. Are you going to be able to watch the game tomorrow night on TV? I can't wait.

It doesn't even matter anymore JABF99 if Webb turns out to be a player. I've never seen such a negative, always expecting the worst to happen, group of Bears fans like the ones on this site. That's one thing I admire about Giants fans. At least they have a great deal of optimism year in and year out. You would have thunk that Bears fans would finally get excited about where this team was going after they went 7-3 last year. But of course that's nott he case. Its always swing to the negative. And it just gets way too much to be around people constantly pessimistic about their team. I mean you'd think we were the Browns or something. I just don't get it.
