Very inconsistent yes, but was very good in 2011. And regardless of what PFF says he's night and day better than Webb, Webb forced the Bears to consistently chip/leave a TE in/run 2 man routes/etc...
Kromer has had loads of success as OL coach in NO I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here as long as the price tag isn't outrageous.

Noah has been rebounding lately like as if he's Dennis Rodman.
16.4 board per game in his last 5 and 13/game for the month of January.
Jimmy Butler: 14.4 points, 8.2 rebounds, 51% shooting in his last 5
I read the other day if Durant maintains his current numbers he'll be the first player ever to win the scoring title while posting 50/40/90 (FG/3P/FT%). Damn, what a season.

Are you just making up rumors? Where's your source? Obviously the above wouldn't happen, but boy it'd be nice to unload Rip and get Biyombo in here to have that backup PF/C defensive force like Asik was last year.
It's pretty much made up besides a rumor from realgm that the Bobcats supposedly want their pick back (and discussed Biyombo) and an article stating teams may wanna trade their draft picks this season.

Hopefully between this + Kromer there will be a new focus on OL play, starting with players acquired this offseason and continuing with the coaching they get once they are in the fold.

The Denver offense sure didn't seem like the west coast offense to me. I thought I remember him rolling out alot and being on the move, all of which isn't in the original west coast offense with the strict move your feet to each read. shannahan sure didn't seem to run that offense.
I guess my impressions of what Denver and Shannahan did with him was off.
Yeah I feel like there's just a lot of gray areas with offensive systems these days given different variations/evolutions.

The only problem I have is that Trestman was a "west coast" offense guy. I don't know if he has changed but that type of offense would not suit Cutler.

Jay ran the west coast offense in Denver and has the best seasons of his professional career.
