Otto is wrong as always. The question asked was who's decision was it to move Webb to LT.
Well who's decision was it to move Webb to LT? Wasn't the GM. It was Tice.
Who's decision was it to keep Omaliye on this roster? Tice.
Who's decision was it to put Carimi to RT? Tice.
The line looked like it was gelling going into the playoffs last year and now it's digressing. Why Tice gets a pass is beyond me.
I was against Webb winning the LT so early but Tice made that decision after seeing both Webb and Carimi in training camp. Webb has struggled in 2 of the 5 games: the opener when matched against John Abraham and Monday night in the dome. He struggled early on at RT last year too before settling down in the 2nd half. Watch him Sunday - I bet you he does pretty well against the top sacker in the NFL, Allen.
What do you want to bet? But then again mediocre play satisfies you.
Back to Tice. BTW, that same line that was jelling had Omiyale at LT last season. Sure you want to go there?
He's the reason why Carimi was drafted in the first place. Do YOU want to go there? Carimi should be at LT and not Omiyale or Webb.
Let's see what Tice has had to work with this year.
Webb - a 7th round draft choice from a Division II school. Chris Williams - a 1st round bust at tackle. Garza a FA journeyman guard who is now playing center after Angelo didn't re-sign Kreutz. Lance Louis. A 6th round guard who played TE and OT in college. Spencer a FA center who is now playing RG. His 1st round OT Carimi has played in 2 games.
Many of these guys are playing new positions due to Tice's decision - it could pay off in the long run.
To top it off Tice is given game plans where often the QB is asked to pass 40 times a ball game and consistently take 7 step drops - passing to WRs that couldn't start for most teams.
Tice's decisions. And it could pay off in the long run? The line has gotten progressively worse the last 2 years with him on the helm but you feel his decisions will "pay off"? Interesting.....
The guys on the line looks confused on who to block at times and look like they've never been on an football field at times and that falls on coaching.
And with Martz calling plays where the opposing defense seems to know what's coming is a detriment as well. He doesn't make adjustments at all but he keeps on calling plays where Cutler can't execute because of the poor pass blocking. No roll outs, won't go no-huddle, don't know how to use the end around play, Martz is just plain worthless as far as I'm concerned.
