nfoligno Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 "We knew we were going to throw on every down, so that's why we made a switch," Ron Turner said about inserting the larger Omiyale at the end of the game." Omiyale has not just been bad on run downs this year. He has been miserable on passing downs as well. In fact, I actually think he has been worse on passing downs than run downs. So why the hell would we insert Omiyale in there on the final drive when we plan to pass the ball. There was a point in the 2nd quarter when the OL started to play a bit better, but it didn't last long. This OL was a joke. Bears say Pace got the wind knocked out of him, but how stupid does Lovie think we are. Getting the wind knocked out of you might take you out for a play, but not the rest of the game. Pace was benched, and deserved it. On the other hand, so did the entire group. If Pace is going to sit moving forward, I really hope we move Williams to LT and Schaffer to RT. Williams was God-awful last night, but if our scouts felt him to be a franchise LT, we may as well begin to look and develop him there. This season is now about development, and he needs to get to work on the position he was drafted to play. Schaffer starts at RT from here on out, and Omiyale begins practicing at RT with an opportunity to compete there next offseason. Beekman starts at LG, and is not pulled at the end of the game, which just kills me. Especially after watching last night, I would love to say Kreutz gets competition, but I just don't see it. Fix LT, LG and RT now, and after 2010, Kreutz is gone and replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madlithuanian Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Wow. The ineptness never ceases to amaze me.

nfoligno Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Another incredible Turner Quote, "I think he was making good decisions, I don't think he was forcing the issue," offensive coordinator Ron Turner said of Cutler Even "my glass is always 1/2 full" Lovie said he wished Cutler made better decisions out there. I have defended Turner at times in the past under the belief that few in history could compensate for an OL this bad, but no more.
