Coward is still listed on the Bears roster on their web site.

Rashad Coward could be a RT, transferring from the DL, just like Big Cat did.  Just saying, you never know.  Lets see what Heistand can get out of him.

I hope you aren't suggesting Bears could start him Thursday night against the Pack's new high dollar FA signings.  There was a reason Bears re-signed Massie.

we don't have an upcoming RT waiting in the wings

Correctamundo. The reason for overpaying Massie. Agreed....NP

Rashad Coward could be a RT

Yeah and the man in the moon could actually eat green cheese too

That issue remains to be seen. Can our great Harry Hiestand make hin into a serviceable RT? We dont know that.

I suppose if anybody can, Harry can do it.

That said, when disaster strikes like Massie going down in training camp, that wouldnt make me happy.

I just dont like it we really are not stocked on the Oline. I sure hope the injury bug doesnt bite us in the butt. I would not be upset if Pace were to find a RT he liked in the 3rd round. End of rant.

I felt Massie was rather good last year. Several teams were lining up to sign him. Not sure where the complaints are. The man had to get paid.

Yes, agreed, he was very decent and was very healthy. Is he good enough to be the RT on a Super Bowl team? Thats where my pinch comes. I just am not sold on that. Thats what I'm scared of.

The Bears are as well off depth wise as anybody. 

Sowell and Coward are backup tackles and the only better players are old and require higher paychecks due to their tenure.
Daniels and Whitehair can play 3 positions (Whitehair played all 5 or 4 in college)  Ted Larson is a good backup guard and there will be someone added sometime.

You can't stock your team with a pro bowler at every position.  But yes, Massie could easily play RT for just about any playoff team and not hinder their chances.

Same goes for backups - any given team isn't going to necessarily have a near starter quality backup.  That's one of the reasons the Bears were so successful last year.

Unless you had a bunch of talented players on their first contract it would be tough due to the salary cap.

But Bears defensively came pretty damn close last year.

1985 Bears were close. Almost the entire D - when healthy. O-line was amazing. Payton. Jim McMahon pro-bowl caliber when healhty.

2018 Bears were missing those kind of guys on offense at the skill positions.  QB, HB, TE, WRs....we're all middle of the road performers.  In today's NFL you need more firepower - too hard to win it all with just a great defense.

He was a few inches away from being the RT on a Super Bowl team this year.
