chw42 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Angelo is actually doing something the fans agree on, it's a miracle. Good thing it's April 2nd and not April 1st. None of us would have believed this. Is Tory Holt next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockRaines Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 One of the greatest Buckeyes ever. I'm so happy he's on the Bears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Since I had the torture of watching the rams last year. I'll say, the one thing that impressed me, was in the midst of an AWFUl season for them, Pace comes back before he's ready just to play for the team, (against the dolphins) and actually played a damn good game. He's a MAN, for whatever b****ing cutler will do, pace will make up for it in his humbleness. CLASS ACT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I wanted Pace all along. He's a nice addition and CW will slide over to RT so Pace can play LT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 QUOTE (BaseballNick @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 08:03 PM) How is this? He's a much better pass blocker and he's a so-so run blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CW is considered more of a technique blocker. He's not a big brawler type. You want him lined up against quick guys and keeping them away from the QB, not going forwards and opening holes for a RB.

GoodAsGould Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Apr 2, 2009 -> 07:44 PM) No. Maybe, I thought Ruben Brown was done when we got him and he lasted longer than expected. And Pace is a far superior athlete, just got to hope for health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. One very good year and one decent year? Yes. In the NFL, a 3-year deal is probably at best a 2-year deal. That's how it works. This signing was one to simply bridge the gap until we can have some draft picks fill that role... and do not tell me we just traded all our picks, because we still have 8 this year and all but one next year.

Pace doesn't even have a "very good" year left in him. One or two good/decent years, yes. But he's going on 34 years old, and 34 in O-line years is 95. He's no where near the player he used to be. The Bears replaced Tait with...a new Tait. Which is good, since it negates the loss of Tait, but it doesn't really improve them any. And no, we didn't trade all of our picks, just the ones that usually mean anything. Edited April 3, 2009 by Y2HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Lines were commonly fat and slow until recently, there was a major shift in agility/speed across the board, D-linemen have gotten smaller and faster, so these older O-lines don't cut it anymore. The game changed, but I see you think it hasn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still capable, not dominating, but decent, the Rams just had to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mean to undermine the caliber of player Pace was/is, but he's not nearly on the same level as he once was. I only mentioned this because I think the days of aging O-Linemen is coming to a close due to the shift in how D-Lines are constructed now.
