What's up with Carimi?

I was saying perhaps as to whom would get a shot. I don't know if you throw an untested guy to the wolves. As I was saying in another thread it's going to be a chip-fest on both sides of the O line.

Carimi is WAY too Jewish!

He, like myself, is way too tall to move to guard. He needs to work on his foot speed butt is blocking inside very well. He and Webb nation have gotten killed the past two weeks on outside speed rush. You know it's bad when the guy runs around you like your not even there, like someone drop-step dunking on you in basketball. Tackles are buying cutler maybe .5 seconds on the outside rush vs having no one there and letting the guy come free. Pathetic, both of them

It might be time to try Scott at RT because right now we have the worst set of OTs in the league IMHO. Webb may have improved a little but Carimi seems to get worse every week. He always seems to be on the ground. Sometimes he is so slow out of his stance that he makes opposing DEs look like they jumped offsides.

I'm sure you don't want a quibble on a metaphor ("worst set of OTs in the league"), but I can't help myself. Arizona. And the Rams RT paired with Superman at LT would be a close runner-up for worst.

Karma is a bitch. Carimi claimed during the 2011 NFL Combine that he was the best offensive lineman in the draft. I thought he would be too since he won the Outland Trophy and played in that offensive line factory that is the Wisconsin Badgers. Unfortunately, he is simply not cutting it. At this point, he's on pace to be another Webb and OMG. If he's like this next year, he will be yet another Jerry Angelo first round bust gone to waste.

Just heard on the Sunday night game that it was the 2nd time that Romo has been sacked on a blitz, he has been blitzed over 90 times. I am not saying the Cowboys have a good offensive line, the line play is down all over the league but wouldn't it be nice for Cutler to have been only sacked 2.22% of the time?

Hutch, Rinehart, Scott, Iupati, Nicks. All 6'5". I understand the DT leverage and passer screen thing, but he's a whole two inches taller than them and stout as hell when asked to seal, trap, down, fold or the like against DTs. I used to think this way very strongly, but with more and more 6'5"+ guys dominating on the inside it's easier to see things less literally. Plus, I've also come to look at things as more of a case-by-case situation in the NFL instead of tying myself to cookie cutter typecasting.

He a young player, try giving him sometime.

All exceptions to the rule and they'd all be better if they were shorter. 6'5 plus is too tall.

So, the best OG now and the best OG for the ten years before that would both be better if they were shorter?

Not to go ad hominem, but that may be the dumbest thing I've read here.
