Police: Garrett Wolfe arrested
Michael C. Wright/ESPNChicago.com
May 22, 2011, 2:33 PM ET
Police arrested former Chicago Bears running back Garrett Wolfe
in Florida early Sunday morning, charging him with retail theft,
disorderly conduct, assaulting a police officer and resisting
arrest, according to information released by the Miami-Dade
police.
A former third-round pick and four-year veteran who has spent
his entire NFL career with the Bears, Wolfe played a significant
role the past two years on special teams. But the club opted
against offering him a restricted free-agent tender this
offseason, which means he'll become an unrestricted free agent
once the NFL lockout comes to an end.
In addition, Wolfe likely will be subject to league discipline
under its personal conduct policy if found guilty of the
charges.
A former star at Holy Cross and Northern Illinois, Wolfe played
all 16 games in 2010, carrying the ball four times for eight
yards. Wolfe finished his Bears career with 72 career rushes for
282 yards and a touchdown, in addition to six kickoff returns
for 125 yards.
Wolfe tied Brian Iwuh for second on the team last season in
special-teams tackles (18).

Funny I was quite a few posts behind since I was out of country
last week.
On the Oline debate. I too feel that we should at least try E.
Williams at C. for a few games to see what effect it has on
Oline. If he doesn't work out, put Kruetz back in with the idea
that new C needs to be drafted high next year. E. Williams gets
his walking papers after the season. It is a win-win; either he
pans out or you have the same guy finishing up the season that
you would have had, plus you don't waste a roster spot on E.
Williams. No brainer to me.
As far as line projections. I like Carimi at RT. No one
debates he is a great run blocker. We run right. I put the fat
boy at ROG and run right all day long. They say Webb has great
feet but mediocre strength seems like a LT to me.
My line: LT-Webb LOG-FA pick up Carl Nicks (NOT Williams)
C-E. Williams ROG-H. Johnson RT-Carimi
Omiyale would be swing tackle, Asiata and Garza would battle it
out for back up OG spot, Kruetz would be back up C- just in
case, L.Louis would be TE to take Manulua spot as blocking TE.
Remember Louis was TE in college. C. Williams would be cut, to
help afford Nicks salary. This would leave vetern pro bowler
next to Webb and E. Williams to help. I think Carimi would be
above average RT in his first year. H. Johnson is wild card.
But worse case scenari you go with Garza. This line would be
great!

For the first time in a long time I trust our O-line coach to
find the best guys at the right positions on the o-line. I also
suspect Ticve will become our OC should MArtz leave after this
year.

I'm guessing Garrett Wolfe realized he's never again going to
pull a six-figure salary and decided to stock up for the future.
Seriously, what's with these Angelo 3rd round picks? Okwo,
Dvoracek, Marcus Harrison, Gilbert, Iglesias, now this guy...
sheez.
Very very little long-term value coming out of those 3rd round
picks throughout the years. Hard to build a good and deep roster
if you don't hit on those guys more than once every 4 or 5
years.

This is the most sensible approach to our 2011 OL that I've seen
yet. Keeping Kreutz around just as a backup is a bit
questionable -- and I'm not convinced Edwin Williams is the
long-term answer at C either -- but assuming Herman Johnson can
play into his size the rest of that group is solid and huge.
The trick will be convincing Angelo to write off yet another of
his OL draft picks (C. Williams) as a loss.
