Re: Right Tackle Help?!? - Bears Release Former First Round Pick
I don't know him, but if he actually played in that Bears game against us in the Dome, with 8 gazillion sacks on Cutler, then no. I kinda don't want any part of that hot mess on my team, LOL. As much as people wish and want Streif or Bushrod to be gone, I don't think this guy could replace anybody starting at either tackle right now, just because he wouldn't know the playbook or the schemes or anything and it would be a HUGE risk to take. Even more of a huge risk than changing centers after the Kreutz Experiment, which took the line a couple of games to find their sea legs again. Unfortunately it's better the devil you know, than the one you don't, when it comes to protecting your $100 Million Dollar Man. Now as backup, I don't know. Maybe. This Eric Olson cat we have right now, seems like a multi use plug-in type dude, which may make him valuable to us.

Re: Right Tackle Help?!? - Bears Release Former First Round Pick
BRING HIM IN?!?!?!?! are you f'ing kidding me!!!! A mid season cut and you want to bring him in. What makes you think that this guy is remotely good enough to start on a top 5 offense. He wasnt even good enough to keep around as a 3rd stringer and you want to bring him in. Im so sick of everytime someone gets cut everyone thinks that he would help this team out.

If he can't protect Cutler I sure as hell don't want him protecting Drew.

The Bearz.offensive line is probably the worst in the history of the NFL. No.

Re: Right Tackle Help?!? - Bears Release Former First Round Pick
I am absolutely shocked nobody has said the standard "he could be a good pickup for the minimum" line yet in this thread.

Re: Right Tackle Help?!? - Bears Release Former First Round Pick
its just flat out ridiculous that everytime someone is cut there is a thread on here about picking this guy up or lets bring him in for a look. we arent the cleveland browns we dont have to throw $h!t at the wall and see if anything sticks. We have probowl offensive lineman vs a guy who was let go during week 6 of the nfl season. im betting both of my nuts that he would not make the scout team

Re: Right Tackle Help?!? - Bears Release Former First Round Pick
So if he doesn't make the scout team, what did the Saints lose? The plane ticket and hotel room for the try out? Charles Brown has looked flat out terrible the few times we've seen him play. The Saints depth at the tackle spot is pretty thin.

My gut feeling is if he is not good enough to play on one of the bottom five o lines even as a back up then I wouldn't want him. It's clock work, every time someone is let go people think THEY see something in this person that professional coaches and scouts do not. He wasn't cut because he is good. I don't think that anyone has ever been cut because their play was too good for the team. ![]()
Researchers...can you find the last person cut midseason that turned their career around at that point. |
