iamshack Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 12:24 PM) That says more about the quality of the other WRs than it does about Sanzenbacher. Well especially since two are Hester and Knox, who I have read you guys complaining for 2 years now that neither of them know where they are supposed to be half the time, and another is Sam Hurd, it's pretty obvious why he would target Sanzenbacher on third downs and in the red zone so much.

GoSox05 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Oh come Berrian has been on fire this year. He has 7 catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 QUOTE (iamshack @ Oct 25, 2011 -> 12:09 PM) Yeah, in a passing offense that features Sam Hurd, Johnny Knox, Devin Hester and Roy Williams, some of the time. How could he not? If you look at the options Jay has had, and then consider the amount of times he has dropped back to pass, it's not hard to realize why DS has had the receptions he's had. He's had way too many drops and mistakes IMO. For an undrafted rookie free agent he hasnt been bad. I will say the drops are unusual for him, he was as surehanded as it gets in college, especially when catching the ducks thrown by Pryor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodAsGould Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 At least this season, I don't think Carimi is going to do any better than what Louis gave us the last 2 games. The question is does Louis go back to rg or maybe switch him to lt and gets Webb off the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just being fast enough to push off the speed rusher off balance adds so much to our pass offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soxbadger Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) Itd be more likely that Carimi would move to LT (position he played at Wisconsin for 4 years) over Louis (who to the best of my knowledge has not played LT.)

Do people think Gabe is capable of playing LT? It seemed like they were pretty set on having him stay at RT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 (edited) There is a Tice quote that says something like "Carimi could play LT, we just think hell be a great RT." To put it in context, prior to this year only 2 players played LT for Wisconsin since 2005, Joe Thomas and Gabe Carimi. Thomas started at LT as a sophomore, Carimi as a RS Freshman. The reality is no one on the Bears has close to the experience as Carimi at LT (and as Ive shown previously, he had better measurables than Webb at the combine) Edited October 25, 2011 by Soxbadger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think he can do it, I don't see why we wouldn't want to try to protect Cutler's blindside with the best option we have. Of course, I also don't see why we'd make zero standout additions to the O-Line this offseason when bountiful opportunities existed, and I also don't see why we'd lock in on Roy f***ing Williams as the huge upgrade to our WR corps.

I understand why they'd stand by Webb...I just can say the same thing about the other 4 in their lineup as well. I think most likely Spencer is backup and Louis slides back at RG. But, the line would prob be best served with Webb on the bench even though he has improved since the Detroit game. Even with the Bears improved running game, up the gut they havent had much success and according to Tice against Atlanta Lance Louis was dominating so be interesting how that turns out.

Probably will suck for him and feel like a benching even though he's played decent, but Louis will slide back there and Carimi will go back to the right side. I can't imagine they will want to shuffle any more than necessary when they're finally starting to get some mojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webb isn't going anywhere, don't get your hopes up. He's very good for a rookie. The Wisconsin O-line from last season put 3 starters into the NFL and Carimi was the best of them. He's no worse than Jake Long who has been manning the tackle position for years. I think he is going to be a dominant RT and a very good LT if moved over there.

Soxbadger Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Id be more concerned if he hadnt started 40+ games in college. Carimi's pedigree and experience just blows away anyone else on the Bears line. As soon as he is healthy, hell be starting some where. I cant believe he isnt the LT, but who knows.
