October 24, 201114 yr comment_96958 I have issue with that. Keep Williams at OG. Against the Eagles, it has to look like this: Carimi Louis Garza Williams Webb or Louis Spencer Garza Williams Carimi Williams was a 1st round pick who played horribly at OT. He's finally starting to play well at OG. Keep him there. He's young and getting better with each game. Report
October 24, 201114 yr comment_96960 You might be right. My concern is tinkering right now that we're starting to get some stability and keeping Cutler upright for the most part. Report
October 25, 201114 yr comment_96965 My preference would be to leave Carimi where he is best suited to play. I also feel if Williams was a candidate to play LT he would have been moved there by now. Report
October 25, 201114 yr comment_96970 My preference would be to leave Carimi where he is best suited to play. I also feel if Williams was a candidate to play LT he would have been moved there by now. Ding ding ding! Williams was a bust at T (on both sides) and I don't think much of him as a G, but apparently the Bears do. The Bears also still really believe Webb can be a solid LT, which is a stretch. I believe when Carimi gets back he'll slide right back in at RT and Louis will slide in at G moving Spencer to the bench as the backup C and G. Report
October 25, 201114 yr comment_96974 Ultimately, it doesn't matter much, because Louis, Spencer, and Webb are average at best. It doesn't matter how you rearrange the dech chairs on the Titanic. Report

An O-line composed of 4 guys who are average and hopefully an above average RT is a pretty good line. Report
October 25, 201114 yr comment_96982 Why dont any of those options include Lance Louis at LT? The guy has good feet and power...and really looks like a player. Man was a college TE...move the man. Report

October 25, 201114 yr Author comment_97000 After lots of black coffee and a whole 8 hours of work and of course (For you Mad L) "The Hair Of The Dog" I'll explain my reasoning. LT Williams has shown better movement in a close space and might be ready to assume the position that he was drafted to play. Also its a bye week and a Mon Nite game to have enough practices to give it a try. LG Spencer quietly he has shown more than I ever expected from him when I thought that he was here to play center. C Garza he has been steady as a rock with minimal mistakes. At times he has struggled with calling some of the protections or maybe his linemates as well Cutler have been slow to recognize what they are seeing. RG Lance Louis Wow the guy who I was totally against in the starting lineup is arguably playing the best. I almost want him to stay at RT. RT Carimi if he is fully recovered (Columbo paranoia) put him back where you drafted him to play and honor the unwritten rule of not losing the starting position due to injury. BTW Some of the replays on the Forte runs has shown Louis,Spencer and Spaeth doing outstanding jobs either creating a crease or sealing the edge. Report
October 25, 201114 yr comment_97004 Well assessed... Really, the big Q is whether to ditch Webb for Spencer..

October 26, 201114 yr comment_97010 Webb threw a key block on Forte's TD run by chasing down the weakside LB and taking him out of the play. He didn't look to slow there. http://www.chicagobears.com/multimedia/mul...lip=Y&rn=12 Report
October 26, 201114 yr comment_97020 I'd keep Webb as LT, put Carimi back at RT and move Lance Louis back to RG. That's the way it was for the first two weeks of the season and we did a pretty good job for a game and a half until Carimi went down and Omifail had to come in against the Saints. Report
