Peppers signs with the Bears (updated - again)

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Which side of the line did Pashos play on in SF? I wouldnt mind starting the season with Clifton at LT and Pashos at RT. We'd definitely need to draft a tackle by round two, though.

It was interesting to read that Shanahan is very high on Rinehart. so, concievably, we're looking at a starting line of:

LT - Clifton
LG - Dockery
C - Rabach
RG - Rinehart
RT - Pashos

Not the best OL in the world, but certainly better than any line involving Mike Williams, Levi Jones, and Stephon Heyer.

Clifton played LT, Pashos played RT.

I'm pretty sure that Shanahallen won't stop with just those two tackles. We'll add more.

Keep in mind that last years experience clearly teaches us that we need 6 or 7 O-lineman to be competitive. Count on Kory L to possibly be a starter by the end of the year as well as a rookie or two to be a factor. Someone like Pouncey would set us up at Guard for a while.

True. That means we need several more than just 6 or 7 in camp to create serious competition for spots.

absolutely. i was just naming potential starters. word has it that weigman has already signed his contract with us. wonder what spot we'd put him at. no matter how many free agent OL we bring in, we still need to devote atleast one round 1-3 draft pick to the OL in each of the next few years.

I honestly dont undertand giving Rabach 12.3MM though. i don't think anyone else would have tried to pay him that kind of money and i dont see him as being our starter for the next 3 years.

He doesn't have to be. Cut him in camp this year or next and it is no-harm, no-foul.

i guess itll depend on how much of that contract is garaunteed and what rules are in place with the new CBA.

he most likely got it from one of PFT's reporters twitter pages, caplan or something like that. i think this was reported a few days ago . .

honestly dont use ES.

TK makes vague educated guesses then, if it comes true, he chirps like he predicted it. im going to say sage is a possibility the skins will look at. if it comes true, i will act like an inside source instead of an outside speculator.

lavarleap made the right call on a jersey change 2 years ago. that was it, since then he has played the same game as TK.

jsteelz seems to atleast have some credibility as he doesnt speculate on everything then claim insider knowledge when he ends up being correct on 1 out of 10 guesstamations.

the funniest thing is TK trying to act like he is responsible for misleading the media into thinking the skins were going to be big players come midnight. of course anything he says is vague to allow wiggle room either way.

why do i care . . .
