We don't need any more Bears players.

Saints tried to sign him today, hence promotion. RT <S>@</S>ESPN_NFL: Bears sign G Henry off practice squad - http://es.pn/vbuQUR




The Chicago Bears signed guard Ricky Henry off the practice squad to the active roster on Thursday.

The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Henry has spent the season on the Bears' practice squad after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Nebraska

Apparently he's supposed to be a nasty run blocker.

We already have three duds from Chicago...

How about San Diego's practice squad... Any studs we could steal from them?

Vincent jackson will come to us.

This is a questionable move by us.
Do we need a guard?
Is Nick or Evans hurt?
Is Tennant really that bad?
Who would we cut/IR to put him on the active roster?

Questionable for fans, maybe, but the FO and coaches must have their reasons.

This news increases my concern for the health of David Thomas. He may be headed for IR. While a guard wouldn't replace his function, it could be that we're looking at other ways of beefing up the run blocking package for the stretch and the playoff run. It could be that this guy was someone they thought could help in those rotations.

A Guard lined up at Tackle with a Tackle eligible on the outside to protect him could help the run game. The line would be OT-OG-OC-OG-OG-OT with Streif being the tackle eligible or it could flip flop with Bushrod being the Tackle eligible.

It just makes me think that he's a nasty talent that we wanted on the cheap. Maybe planning to trade a guard, not pay a guard, or maybe add some depth...maybe for a bigger set...move a tackle out to te and play a guard at tackle. How nasty...left to right...even better than the last one...bushrod.Nicks.Evans.de la?.brown(quick to 2nd level).strief...run to the left...good play action later, after running to the left out of it 16 times in a row.

IMO, option 3.

Maybe we just wanted to screw with the Bears. Our F.O. is playing chess and are 3 steps ahead of whatever we think they are doing

Nicks insurance?

 

[BIG DAWG]

All i know is we need to get the running game going...

Seems like a simple case of stockpiling talent when we have an open roster spot. We have at least 3 player on the roster right now that I can think of that are immediately expendable (Roby, Robinson, and Humber). Toss in a few boarderline guys and we're at around 5-7. Then you have to factor in, will Romeus be added to the 53 in favor of Charleston? I don't think so, but it's possible.

So, if we see an OG who has a lot of potential and can stash him on our 53 for the rest of the season, then I say why not? Don't read too much into this. In fact, I would equate this much in the same way to what we did with Joique Bell towards the end of last year - had a roster spot, saw a talented young RB (didn't need anymore obviously), and we jumped on him. That is just stockpiling talent at its best.
