Agreed to all of this. Well said and stated
No cause the OL sucks , for years now. You really think the OL is GOOD? GREAT? You think the TE's are GOOD blockers? GREAT? Who cares if the TE's could/can catch, they will be stuck IN to help the OL block, other then a 3 yard dump off.
The passion of a few, to rule the many, that's Washington D.C.. Where else was that said before, about whom?
I doubt you will find anyone on this board that says the OL is good or great.
The OL needs help blocking, and you cut a good blocker to keep a TE, who has to block cause he's a good reciever? I hear ya. I (ME) just think you keep a guy that can block over 4 TE's that can't. Just me but 3 TE's and a BLOCKER makes sense to me. He's gone, got a player in return thats great. But I will be pointing out the lack of blocking by the TE's all year in threads, or I'll be eating a SHIT LOAD of crow this year. The crow will save on my food budget.

Yttocs so your theory is that ONLY Clutts was capable of helping the OL block? The same guy that didn't every down last year was somehow transformed over night into a every down OL savior?!!?!
Yttocs, so are the bears not playoff worthy anymore b/c Clutts id gone?
Before you ask a question you have to answer one first, So what TE is a better blocker the Clutts? I asked before you asked. Or are you saying blocking isn't important?
The passion of a few, to rule the many, that's Washington D.C.. Where else was that said before, about whom?
I didn't say there was one. But I have already said in multiple threads we have no idea how good they will be b/c they have not been used. The O scheme has been completely hidden this whole pre season. I have said I'm waiting 3-4 games to see how the scheme is before I decide how much of a loss Clutts is.
Btw I did mention Forte/Bush are both perfectly capable blockers. Forte in the top100 player is considered one of the best blitz pick RB's in the game.
now answer the question is this team still playoff capable w/out CLutts?
I'm a homer, 16-0 in RS. Then 15-1...ect... with any loses. OL isnt that good, so you have to have others help out. Now Pass catching TE's in to block is better then Clutts who can run and pass block, even though we haven't seen the TE's in the pass route yet. Will have to see what the RS brings.

No. It sure wasn't intended that way. Ric, I started the thread because I thought it seemed like we don't value the blocking positions as high as other positions - at least during the Lovie Smith tenure. That really isn't fair to reduce this to a "Clutts reaction" thing.

I'm looking forward to seeing these guys coach. Hope they're good.
Jabf, if Clutts wasn't traded would you have made this thread? It might not have been the intention, but it was the result of.
EVERY HC values keeping his QB safe, want proof; Martz is no longer here, and the guy he believes can build an O Scheme around this OL is the OC. That's proof he and the team value blocking.
I love your posts, you're a lot smarter then you give yourself credit for, but the reality is this was a direct result of nothing more then Clutts being moved.
Yttocs, the coaches HAVE seen the HB's block. the Coches KNOW what the scheme is. Give them a little credit on knowing what it is and how the O will work. If it doesn't work out after 3-4 games, hell 1-2 games, then start complaining.
