Who's our other LT???

[bradjock]

The staff & JA has indicated they want Tait to move back to RT & they want Chris Williams to stick with his natural position, LT. That's great. (Assuming Williams doesn't suck. With rookies, you never can tell).

 

They've also indicated they like St. Clair as the starting LG. That's great also. He looked solid there.

 

What will keep me awake at night is this: Who is our back-up LT??? The easy answer is Tait, but then that would require moving St. Clair back to RT, and moving Metcalf/Beekman or some other crappy player in LG. That's WAY too many moves.

 

Basically we need a solid LT who can complete with Williams or fill in the back-up role.

We'll probably get another OT in the draft, maybe in the 6th or 7th.

I'd be shocked if we didn't draft at least 2 more offensive linemen.

As of now, our OL looks like this:

 

LT Williams - LG Metcalf/St. Clair - C Kreutz - RG Garza - RT Tait

 

compared to last years:

 

LT Tait - LF Brown - C Kreutz - RG Garza - RT Miller

 

I'd say it's improved, but we still don't know about that left side. Hopefully someone like Beekman could stand out and win a job, or we draft another T or G in rounds 3-5.

The worst part about your post is that you have Metcalf listed at LG. Not that it's your fault but he doesn't belong on the Bears roster. Draft his replacement with our first pick tomorrow then we can say the Oline has improved significantly.

I think Carl Nicks would be a great options. he can play LG or either OT position.

I think Carl Nicks would be a great options. he can play LG or either OT position.

 

I also think Nicks here would be an excellent value.

You can plug the OG that the Bears draft in the 3rd into that lineup.
