Omiyale is kind of pricy but he can fill in at either OT and do
ok.
I still question though if Carimi can't play LT at least as good
as Webb. I'd be tempted to leave Webb at RT and take our lumps
at LT with Carimi.
Webb and Johnson at RG and RT would be some serious beef though.
I hope Johnson has been spending as much time as he can with
Tice. It would be nice to see a motivated 350lb OL with some
skill on our line for once.

Webb and Carimi at OT, Chris Williams and Herman Johnson at OG
and the midget Kreutz at C wouldn't suck totally.
Replace Chris Williams' with a legit OG via FA (Carl Nicks?) and
it gets even better. Then next year, take the best C available
in the draft to replace Kreutz and we're set for the next few
years.

I know he didn't do well when given an opportunity but I thought
our coaches were high on Edwin Williams at one point.
It would be interesting if Asiata or Louis or both could start
at one of our interior positions. You could then keep some guys
like Williams (LG,LT) and Garza (LG,C,RG) around who can play
many positions.

Yeah, I kind of DONT want Chris Williams at OG. Would much
prefer someone much better, even if it is one of the other back
ups. Just saying. Backup swing tackle, maybe.

We're gonna put Asiata, Louis, and/or Edwin Williams up against
the Suh/Fairley tandem?
Ummm, no thank you very much.
Not that Garza and Kreutz are likely to fare any better.
Nav's point is well taken though about guys playing multiple
positions. Omiyale has played LT, RT and LG (although only LT
with any degree of competency), Chris Williams same deal, Garza
has played both OG spots, some scouts think Carimi could move
inside and you also have Herman Johnson who most view as an OG
even though he has a RT's massive frame.
Chris Williams and Omiyale are both essentially backup swing OTs
and a roster can really only support one of those. That's why
I'm thinking we see one of them sent packing in the next few
months.

Lets just hope Tice can sort them all out and put them in their
best positions...

If they get a FA OG they might be decent if Johnson comes along
with major improvement

Yeah... ideally we'd see that entire interior 3 blown up
(Williams, Kreutz and Garza) and start over with big, strong,
mean young guys. Doubt it happens though. Kreutz, if
re-signed, will be the starting C and I'm certain the RG spot
will remain Garza's to lose. Williams may be the only one out of
the 3 that gets upgraded for 2011 unless one of the younger guys
on the roster steps up big time.

Louis, maybe. Asiata, I wouldn't count on since he's just now
learning how to play OG with only 4 or 5 years of football under
his belt in total as I recall.
