As long as Carimi/Webb are in their best positions, I dont
really care which side they play on.

Yup. If the 7th rounder is our best LT and the 1st rounder is
our best RT, so be it.

I'm just happy that we have options for Tice to work with. It
wasn't that long ago that we were wringing our hands and praying
that Angelo would draft some OL help. We may not be there yet
but we're moving in the right direction.

You know Angelo and Tice have penciled in Carimi at LT before he
was even drafted.
And he'll get every opportunity in camp to win the job. The
question is can Carimi keep the job once the regular season
begins.
If he stumbles look for Omiyale to take his place. Another
option might be Webb, provided they give him some reps there in
TC and PS.
Another less appealing option would be to bump Carimi inside to
guard if he falters at LT.

I have to think that Carimi vs. Peppers in training camp could
be worth the price of admission... if they are both motivated
(and allowed) to go all-out against each other.
I really don't see Carimi collapsing under the pressure of being
repeatedly schooled by Peppers (as supposedly happened to Chris
Williams, thereby "ruining" him at LT). Carimi is infinitely
stronger than Williams, physically and psychologically.

Carimi is going to be the LT. He played it in college and glad
he's being inserted there. Needs to protect Cutler's blind
side!

Please stop the LT to LG experiments already. Just saying.

The guy who wrote about Carimi being penciled in as the Bears LT
made a good point about the level of pass-rushing competition
Carimi has faced in college. Adrian Clayborn and Ryan Kerrigan
being just two of them.
He also noted that Carimi spent many practices going against
J.J. Watt, who I happen to think will not come close to
fulfilling his hype in the NFL but was still without a doubt a
quality DE at the college level.

And Chris Williams faced the best of the SEC for years while at
Vanderbilt.
We won't know until Carimi faces real NFL competition...
