The OFFICIAL Offensive Line Sucks Thread

[bearsinhouston]

1. Even though a team can occasionally coach up a 7th round pick, or even a guy who went undrafted - this is the exception not the rule.

Not true if you are a bona fide OL guru

Shark, this has been going on since 2010. In the San Fran game the QB got hammered more than once on 3- step drops. What the heck do you call, if your offensive line can't hold for a 3 step drop?

Rachal was 100% wrong to walk. But he wasn't half as bad as Webb and Carimi. It was our tackles who failed (by far) the most. The only guy worth keeping on that oline is Louis.

Oh I most certwinlyagree with yu. Im just saying thecoaches aare naking a bad situation worse.

Lets see if I get this right Spencer was so bad that after game 2 of the season we bench him for Rachal. Rachal has played fairly well since he started, at the least better the Spencer, until last week when the whole O line failed. I think most people here would say as bad as our O line is our Tackles have been the biggest problem. So we bench Carimi, but why Rachal, why not Webb. I know one thing Webb is made of Teflon we see it every game and I guess it goes way beyond that. I just can't understand how every Bears fan can see Webb is worthless but for some reason Tice thinks Webb is the greatest LT in the world and that when he fails it has to be someone else fault and not Webbs. My guess is the only way we get rid of Webb is the day we get rid of Tice, because as long as Tice is here Webb is his man.

He can make good OL into great, maybe average into good.... but no one can turn shit into average

But he should be able to identify that he has shit players and lobby for good ones.

Tice has struggled with proper player evaluation since he got here. In 2010, he made Omiyale the RT and Shaffer the swing tackle when it should have been the reverse. Something that I railed about repeatedly on the CBMB. He thought Asiata could play LG until as a last ditch desperation move he used Garza at LG.

It was also Tice's idea to move Spencer to LG because he was successful at RG for us in 2011. For the price we were paying him, he should have made the decision between Spencer and Louis, and cut Spencer to find some LG competition. It was Tice who thought Webb was ready for LT when he was not. His player moves just reek of a guy who keeps grasping at straws.

With Rachal gone, we're a tad thin on depth.

POS	FIRST	SECOND	THIRD	OTHER
WR1	Brandon Marshall	Earl Bennett	Dane Sanzenbacher
LT	J'Marcus Webb	Jonathan Scott
LG	Chilo Rachal	Chris Spencer
C	Roberto Garza	Edwin Williams	Chris Spencer

maybe I'm the only guy that wants to know this, but one of the media guys, the writers, should ask Tice what he sees in Webb. Why he can do whatever he wants. Why all the fans see how bad he is and that the stats prove that. We he is the only guy that thinks otherwise

Since you brought this subject up German, here's another question I wished the media would put to Tice. They need to ask him "What happened to this "Hester Package" we heard about all summer long?" And then keep the heat on him, because I don't believe there ever WAS a "Hester Package".....it was just the same old tired stuff they've tried with Hester for years - that fails each year to produce squat.

Military intelligence had to step in and stop the process. The concern with unleashing the "Hester Package" in a stadium filled with unprotected civilians was that there might be too much collateral damage and carnage.

Right now the military is considering the "Hester Package" against Syria and Iran. Upon hearing the rumors, it has brought both countries to the negotiating table. Iran is now talking about handing over all of their nuclear research in order to avoid the "Hester Package" being deplyed in their country.

Tice has been banned from ever talking about the "Hester Package" again.

If there is ever a coach who would tell you exactly what you want to know, it is Tice. He is honest to a fault. The last presser showed that.

Then all the more reason to get him to tell us about the "Hester Package" thing he blew smoke up our butts about all Summer long. He made it sound like the most devastating football weapon known to mankind. Hester then promptly disappeared for the regular season.

Right now Hester is the 151st WR in the NFL with 18 catches for the season (LINK). It's the "Hester Package" alright. The package of crap that was fed us all Summer. Of course he also told us this was a solid offensive line going into the season.
