Take a seat, Frank

At long last Lovie has seen the light. Come sunday, Josh Beekman will be your starting left guard. Why did it take so long for this to happen? I have no idea because i think any human being watching the bears games could have seen that Omiyale was about as worthwhile as a cardboard cutout on the field. But at long last, Ole Omilyale will have a great view from the bench on sunday.

Also, the bears announced that Hunter Hillenmeyer will be back in the middle of the defense on sunday. The Bears citing poor positioning and problems calling the defense, Nick Roach will be moved back to strong side LB. I think Roach has a chance to be a decent LB but when twice in one game you get killed by a bubble screen b/c the defense only has 2 defenders to that side to cover 3 wrs, something has to give. Gladly once again there will be an odd looking white guy patrolling the middle of the field for the bears on sunday.

These two position chances point to a scary trend I have seen with Lovie as a head coach. There is no question that Ole Omiyale and Roach are the better athletes at their positions but Hillenmeyer and Beekman have been solid, if not spectacular, starters in the past. It scares me that the Bears are choosing who is starting based athletic ability instead of productivity. Teams need to know that they can count on their teammates to do their jobs. I think finally Lovie is getting that message.
