Or you know, you could go crazy and create competition.. wasn't Daniels playing his best football at LG right before his injury?

He was. But I think they view him as the more versatile of the two. Cody has only ever looked good at LG.

Yes. He was beasting out but....Vita Vea was beating him like a drum when he got injured.

Pretty much. Thankfully that's one position along the oline where you don't necessarily need great athletic abilities. Smarts and technique can go along way.

It's also worth noting that Sam works out in the offseason with his former team mate Q. Nelson, who reportedly has some legendary workout regimes. Not surprising that dude is the ultimate savage. I think with a year under his belt and a full offseason with legit strength and conditioning Sam can really take a step forward and prove his worth.

I feel you.. But it was more about Leno than it was the draft pick.

Pretty over the top from DDP, even though I like his commentary for the most part.
Leno allowed 4.5 sacks last season, 4 holds and 3 false starts. Now that is bad, but it isn't horrible. I think the lack of effort is what drives Phil crazy.
It certainly a position that needs an upgrade, but not a position I would draft a lesser player because next season you have the option of filling LT via the draft or free agency with Leno's cap hit being minimal.

I remember in the 2018 draft that posters here said that Nelson was a waste of a pick at #6. Lmao. They just got a HOF'er(if he stays healthy)

With Daniels coming back, the issue is who wins out? Bars, Whitehair or Daniels assuming Mustifer continues to impress at Center. If the Bears draft a starter at tackle better than Ifredi, you can toss him into the interior line mix as well.

There's a lot more than that. Watch his breakdowns and he whiffed on SO MANY blocks in the running game you couldn't keep track. They guy is pathetic and needs to be off the team.

His run blocking issues make running to his side problematic at times

LOL! Are you kidding me???? Bars played pretty well but it is very obvious that Daniels and Whitehair will be the guards. Bars is a very good back up to have.

DEF. I admit, I have an untrained eye, but in his tape reviews CL looks like he's not too interested in engaging with aggression, and he's constantly losing his footing. He looks mad passive out there.

Some guys are just studs though. Vita Vea makes a lot of good players look bad, how many guards can really push him around? Its not many.

You may be right. With the Bears D. Tackles that these 3-4 get to "try out" against, it should be obvious who's a starter and who isn't.

I have seen the tape. Trust me I am no fan of Leno and happy to see him go. I just thought the rant was over the top, when it was merely about starting a rookie tackle on the right side to get him used to the NFL (which isn't unusual in the NFL) and DDP was like the organization has no effing clue if they let Leno play one more down for this team.
I understand and agree that Leno is bad. But an over the top blowout about starting a rookie tackle on the right side for a little bit (when he had no problem with sitting Fields for a year over Dalton) seemed like a personal vendetta getting in the way of objective sportscasting.
That's all. I like Phil but he certainly has his favorites. He was very pro-Trubisky in his film reviews.

Remember when Mack threw the Tampa bay tackle on his ass with 1 arm?

That was Minnesota. I wanna say it was Brian O'Neill but I might be wrong on that.
