As I recall, Omiyale looked worse in his stint at OG than Chris
Williams did at that position. Quite a bit worse, in fact. I
don't think a switch back to OG is in his future anywhere. Not
to mention we have guys like Edwin Williams, Asiata, Lance Louis
and Herman Johnson who I have to assume will all be given the
chance to win a starting role on the interior OL and especially
if we don't bring in a FA OG.
Omiyale's best chance to stick as a Bear is to either continue
improving at LT (holding off Webb and Carimi) or worst case,
backing those two young guys up as our swing T. And if the best
Carimi can do his rookie season is be our swing backup, that
would have to be considered a serious disappointment for all the
hype he's coming in with.
I still have to seriously question if keeping both Omiyale and
Chris Williams on this team for the 2011 season is the absolute
best use of roster space, or if it's more just a question of
Angelo saving face.

Omiyale was horrid at LG in 2009. But after being benched for a
few games he came back and was steady.
I am not suggesting that Omiyale return to guard, but if he is
the swing tackle he should be given a chance to compete at
guard. Regardless, he makes the team because of his ability to
play LT or RT and if he can plays some guard that's a bonus.
Chris Williams needs to win a starting guard spot. I guess we
could keep him as a backup if he doesn't start since he doesn't
cost us that much (still on rookie contract). But I would not
want him as the swing tackle - he can't play LT.

I would agree, at this point I think Chris Williams is at
greater risk to lose his spot on the team than Omiyale. They
have tried Williams at 3 OL spots and he has failed at both T
positions was nothing better than a stopgap at LG with a lot of
other young interior O-Linemen waiting in the wings and
potentially a FA signing as well. As to his contract, well yes
he is still on his rookie contract but that's a rookie contract
for an OT taken in the Top 15 so it's not exactly chump change.
Carimi needs to pan out big time cause so far Angelo is 0-for-2
on 1st round OTs during his Bears tenure.

Wow Dallas is in a VERY generous mood when he says Omiyale " is
serviceable" at LG.

Check out this article with stats on pressure. Cutler was under
the most pressure of any QB in the league last year.

A bottom-5 OL, average (at best) WRs, inconsistent run game and
an OC who didn't adapt till nearly half the season was gone can
all be blamed equally for that stat.

Martz's QB's are always up there in sacks, and probably
"pressure" as well. Even with hall of .famers on the line in
St. Louis, Warner was running for his life when he wasn't
winning the SB....

Can't blame it all on Martz and the O-line.
In the 2nd half of the NFCC game Hanie continuously dumped it
off to Forte when no one was open downfield. He kept drives
alive that led to 2 scores and was in position at the end for a
3rd.
I know that Cutler is going to make some throws most other QBs
can't but you'd like to see him dump it off more when there's
nothing there.

Hanie wasn't acting alone there - Martz and Lovie were involved
no doubt - Cutler was lucky to be alive in week 17 - It was a
good experience for Hanie and the offense - hopefully it will
benefit them someday in the (new) NFL?
Arena league?
Greedy bastages!
