Reply #5: Don't Be A Negative Nellie, Nick [View All]

Man, i love alliteration!

First of all, the draft is DEEP in O linemen and the Bears do have picks after the 2nd round. Secondly, there are lower cost O linemen available as free agents, and while that won't make front page news, the Bears still have money.

Lastly, the O line wasn't that bad in the last 5 games of the season. Not world class, but not horrible. It took them too long to find a good combination and to sit Pace down. Also, Williams will get moved to LT, which is where he belongs. And, adding a 290# tight end IS shoring up the O line!

I also think that having a pass rush (and Peppers is only 30 btw) might take pressure off the offense because they won't feel they need to scrore 28 to win a game.

Be patient, Nick! I think this ship is being righted.
