I finally got a smile on my face I wish we got bushrod a few years ago then we wouldn't need to deal with that oaf Webb

I just want to ask however people were down on bushrod the past few weeks. Have you changed your minds lol

Moore would definitely be better.

We would then have Moore Long Bushrod

BOOM! Good Signing!

I'm glad we got him, but nationally this signing isn't being applauded

@MattSpiegel670: #MinorBuzzkill RT @PFF Bushrod always likely to get overpaid; protected an elite QB, high-octane O. 44th in Pass Blocking Efficiency in 2012

@MattSpiegel670: #2ndBuzzkill RT @nfldraftscout 1st signing today that I really don't like. Bushrod to #Bears. Brees made him look good. Can't hold the edge.

I read lots of negative on Bennett also. The fact is both will help us.

@danpompei: J'Marcus Webb and Gabe Carimi, let the competition for the RT position begin.

I think you'll see Carimi pushed inside to LG and fight it out w/Brown. I have a funny feeling that Scott gets resigned to fight it out at RT w/Webb and the loser goes swing.

Why does everyone assume carimi in competition for rt? I think if anything this moves Webb to rt unless we get a stop gap there and carimi moves to g. Louis is no lock to start the year and our lg position has been atrocious for awhile.

This move isso win just think what we just did especially if lach comes back. Our first rounder isn't a desperation pick anymore and no team can guess a obvious move here. We can go de, ol, wr, lb now with no obvious of one over the other. With JA you can bet what he was doing cause we were always desperate.
