A lot of money for Bushrod...I thought thier problem area was LG...and though the saints pass a lot more than the Bars...bushrod numbers aren't that superior to webbs and even allowed more hurries...but we have to see how it plays out wit the change to a zone blocking scheme. Bennett is an upgrade to Davis...so it took Emery 2 offseasons to get wat he should have got last year...so far not impressed with Emery
The bears are makng move that the fans been waiting on.
LG? you've proven your opinion should be ignored.
Bushrod's 2011 was far superior to any of Webb's best years, so I'm guessing that's what Emery was looking at, though I agree they might have overpaid for him when Vollmer and Andre Smith were available. How do you know the Bears are going to a zone blocking scheme?
Yeah, wassup with zone blocking? It fits their current linemen better, but it's really inferior to power blocking in short yardage and goal line situations.
