I know this is a ridiculous pipe dream, so someone please kindly knock me down to earth...
What if Harry Hiestand is able to coax the best out of Hroniss Grasu? Between Harry and Mark Helfrich, is it completely out of the question that maybe they could turn him into the player we all envisioned after Hroniss' first season? If I recall, Grasu did have to play some last season with Whitehair sliding around. I also recall some poor (shotgun?) snaps last season.
I guess what I'm thinking... Whitehair isn't a natural center so what if he was allowed a full camp at guard, maybe his ceiling is higher at guard than center?
Edit: This is what I was remembering: chicago.suntimes.com/sports/good-bad-and-better-how-the-bears-fared-in-their-upset-over-ravens/
I tend to think Whitehair has proven to be a very good OC provided they leave him there. Moving him around last season reminds me of how poorly Amos played at FS compared to how well he played last year at SS. I would leave Whitehair at OC and provided he's fully recovered look to Eric Kush as the backup OG/OC leaving Grasu out of the picture.
IMHO we have two possibilities for adding talent at OG and both are very good ones. There's Norwell in FA and Nelson in he draft. Given Sitton's age and contract status, Long's offseason surgeries, and our projected cap room I would pursue an OG this spring and keep all three if I could. Chances are better of getting 16 games out of them this way.
Thank you, I knew I was thinking crazy, haha.
I also missed this: www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/hroniss-grasu-had-lowest-graded-game-two-years-packers-trubisky-kyle-long
Basically, "#Bears C Hroniss Grasu's @pff pass-blocking grade today was a 0.0 on their scale of 0-100, the first 0.0 pass blocking grade given out in the last two years" So there's that too.
