If the article holds true and Kromer likes to build his scheme and core inside out, we wil ned at least 2 new interior linemen. We will not have the money or picks to address it all. So being that Webb was the sharpest turd in the pile means he should be starting again this year regardless of what side he plays. And of he improves like he did last year, he should be above average.

I think it's a hybrid of your and s7's thoughts. I understand Tice testing his guys ability to block one on one during the preseason, as it offers the ability to know what plays you are capable of running. On the other hand, he had ass talent to work with, so help schemes should have been priority one. While it be easy in theory to learn the different protection scheme, it takes a long time to perfect into practical application. That's why most offenses take at least 2 years to gel. With the turnover in coaching and probable turnover on players, we should expect growing pains. Once we have good OL personnel in place, watch our coaches look like geniuses.

That's complete BS. He was our strongest point of attack OL last year. Carimi backpeddled like a DB, yet you call out Webb. I am not a Webb fan either, but I saw him as the only OL on the team that improved. Everyone needs a team "whipping boy", but trust me Webb should no longer be it. Anyone who says otherwise is discrediting themselves.

This is my thinking going forward. Someone mentioned him earlier in this thread. Cooper RD 1 and Jones RD 2 are my wish list. Levitre in FA would ice the cake.

Disagree that Webb is pretty bad. I would place him at slightly below average and rising. Again, he won the position against someone who sucked worse. And completely disagree that he only improved slightly. Lastly, if you take one game off the books for him he grades out slightly above average. Again, totally agree the job should not be handed and I'm hoping for better competition. But, we really need to concentrate on upgrading OG before anything.

Agree with the salary issue. Disagree with te car analogy. 200 dollar cars to not get get better each year, nor are they newer models. Webb will continue to get better for the next 4/5 years. There is upside there. Lastly, he had competition last year and unfortunately Williams sucked on a less talented level. I do agree that someone needs to come in and compete for the starting position. More importantly, the interior needs a severe upgrade.

I would do it for their 2nd and 4th and the 1st the following. But, they wouldn't be dumb enough.

I think he will make a fine NFL center. Let's see how this plays out. Makes trading down for an extra 2nd look even better...

I would not complain with any reasonable OL selection...

My concern with Manti is that he is already at his ceiling as a player. Great work ethic and production in college does not always transfer to the pros. I smelled a rat in the championship game and it still stinks today. I still hold onto my assertion that he will go very late in the first or second.

245 to 255 is ideal for a 4-3 MLB. Butkus-255, Singletary-240, Urlacher-255.

I like it. Can't we cut Spencer and get another 2 mil.

I'd love both at 2mil each. Let Ogletree play outside, while Urlacher shows him how to run the D. We can replace Roach later.

I like it with a couple tweaks. 1) I'd give Roach an extension before Url. And I'd give Url one year. 2) Louis gets 2 years. Lastly, I want a speedy WR in the late rounds to develop.

I don't think the Pats, Pack or Saints had a burner. Just sayin...

Its kinda hard hitting a deep route from your back...

10000% and 6 years running! When will everyone learn this? OL is just not sexy enough.

There is no way Jeffery ever ran a 4.38. Just an observation from what I see on the field. The report of a 4.38 is unnofficial and scouts put him in the 4.4-4.5 range, which is good for a guy his size. But, definately not what you call a speed reciever.

My gut tells me Louis will not be effective this year...

Totally with the assessment. Bar none, our biggest need is OL.(guard in particular) LG was atrocious and RG wasn't good before a knee injury; so I don't see Louis as a factor. I would love to see us sign Levitre and draft an OT, G/C, TE and 2 LB's. My perfect draft scenario would be to trade down for an extra pick or two and draft Barrett Jones in the late 1st early second. He would provide the flexibility we need, as there is no decent backup to Garza. He could come in and start at any interior position. I also think we need to give Gonzales a shot before we draft a TE highly. Lastly, a high caliber LB is needed to replinish some speed in this group. I don't care how it happens it just has to happen. I absolutely will puke if I see another free agent special teamer signed. Those positions should be filled by draftees looking to move up.

I'm thinking 4 years. Interior guys usually don't last as long.

Cutler can wait. He needs to prove himself this year or I'd prefer he move on.

It's weird like that. I really like and respect Tim Tebow, but want throw something at the TV whenever they bring him up. I would literally turn the channel during the the whole "Favre watch". I am thinking of burying my set in when Canton calls...

The Colts need a good guard badly and they will be 55 mil under.
