Offseason is important and we are seeing just how much with our
oline. I think things tend to get overthought, I am leaning
toward the idea of installing Carimi at LT and leaving Webb
alone at RT. Take the remaining bunch and let then decide who
plays at the interior.
I think we can all agree, we are in better shape having Tice on
board.

The NFL Rookie Symposium has been cancelled, the first
high-profile event to fall victim to the work stoppage. Tribune
reports today that the Bears' first OTA (scheduled for June 3)
is also likely off the table and I'm sure we'll see many similar
cancellations of other teams OTAs across the league.
As the offseason/preseason becomes more and more compressed, a
premium will be placed on coaches that can get their players up
to speed quickly. I like our odds with Tice in this scenario,
especially if we can somehow still bring in an upgrade at LG via
FA.
The prospects of our air game (i.e., Martz, Cutler, Olsen and
our WRs) I am not nearly as optimistic about. True we have
continuity with all the players returning, however, our air game
finished the season badly out-of-sync, and our inability to get
yards and points through the air was the single biggest factor
in the last two losses to the Packers. Those guys need as much
work together possible, but will be getting less. Martz,
hopefully, has been updating his offense out of the 1990s
mindset we saw last year but unfortunately those modifications
will take time and reps to implement... which are slipping away
the longer this drags on.

I hope the game scheduled in Europe is the next thing taken off
the table

Agreed. That wouldn't upset me at all.

Class act. Keep him just for that. You know, I've been whining
about all the arrests, I bet there's alot of this that goes
unoticed because the kids just do it because it's right. I need
to be more positive. Or more drunk, I'm not sure which.
I'll have a beer and think about it.

Agreed, total class by the rookie LB.
This is still a football team and he ultimately has to earn his
keep on the field. But if it comes down to a final roster spot
between him and someone else of equivalent skill, I hope this
works in his favor. I'm pullin for the kid, definitely.

Kind people off the field has to translate into not nice people
on the field.
If he can do that...keep him.

I'm guessing Wolfe got the celebrity ovation in the bar...
And he said ""The drinks are on ME"
When I said that... (many years ago) everyone knew it was a
joke...
But a $1500 bar tab?
Good thing nobody ever took me seriously - in a bar...

Wolfe is going to wind up dropping a lot of cash on lawyers --
not to mention restitution and potential fines, court costs,
etc. that will be levied against him if charges are upheld.
Bad move, especially considering his days of drawing an NFL
paycheck are probably gone for good.
