If Carimis knee finally is healthy and can handle the load without any questionmarks around him, I would want to see him at LT.

Where is BigClaws when you need someone to come up with a good one-liner about something?
Sadly, Carimi will never see the light of day at LT for the Bears. However, he would be better at the position than Webb for sure and probably CWill. It was reported that CWill played very well on Thursday at RT, so I question Tice's logic on why he won't give Carimi a crack at the LT position when he can obviously fill the role admirably. That would solve the puzzle of getting Webb out of the lineup for good.
I also would like to see him try. But Tice is Tice.

No need. Someone probably has pictures.

I believe Tice really wanted to give Gabe's knee a rest and Cwill was the best option to do so in order to protect Jay. The decision not to play Cutler was only made AFTER his wife gave birth and that's why he didn't play. He had more pressing matters on his plate with the new baby & all. Now that things are back to normal (if that's possible) the competition has resumed for the LT position. That's where we stand today. We have 3 more games left in the pre-season so I'm not going to be concerned unless things haven't worked themselves out by week 3. If not I'd be worried because we must have all the pieces in place by then for the sake of continuity.
Tice and Webb packing fudge. Woo-wee!!! What a concept!!!Quote:

It's Webb who's the one with experience at both so maybe he's the one who should be the swing tackle.
I really don't give a squat who 'wins' the competition - all I wanna see is Cutler being able to function well enough to make this O go .... and stay healthy the entire season.
You may have hit on our solution to the LT problem Soul - McCaskey - Viginia McCaskey to be exact. The Old Lady could certainly upgrade our LT position (She's so much better than Webb or C.Will). I'll bet she still has a mean punch. And heaven only knows she can remember a snap count from the huddle to the snap.......Webb sure can't, but old Ginny can! Probably faster than Webb or C.Will in the 40 too (once she gets that aluminum walker going she's deceptively quick for an old gal. And Tice likes his oline mean and nasty. I'll bet the old girl would be MUCH meaner than Webb.Quote:

Yep AND he lost some weight and has better BMI so he would be just as "athletic" as ol' Webb. I'm hoping that Carimi is just "cutting his teeth" at RT then jumps over to the other side.Quote:
