Chicago Bears replace Frank Omiyale with Josh Beekman

I've been wondering since 4:15 Sunday afternoon how
precipitously the Bears have to tumble for the right
changes to be made. Not changes like Josh Beekman over Frank Omiyale, or a few more carries for Garrett Wolfe instead of the tap-dancing Matt Forte.

... . Regardless of what Ron Turner says, it’s about freakin’ time! Brad Biggs dives into the sacks allowed stat . It goes to show that figures lie and liars figure.

Pass Protection: Omiyale Only Gave Up 1/2 Sack
Windy City Gridiron —
... I found a story by Brad Biggs that I thought showed some interesting numbers. Sacks allowed thus far:
Orlando Pace: 2 1/2 Greg Olsen: 2 Garrett Wolfe: 2 Chris Williams: 1 Roberto Garza: 1/2 Olin Kreutz: 1/2 Frank Omiyale: 1/2
We will be seeing Josh Beekman in action Sunday, and Beekman only allowed 1.5 sacks all season last year. However, as we've looked at already, had Matt Forte not broken 2 runs for big gains, his average per carry would be significantly lower than last ...

... Brad Biggs apparently works for Frank Omiyale's press people now and he should be embarrassed for publishing this inane post on the Sun-Times website. Biggs is not-so-subtly trying to make the case for Omiyale's not being benched by telling us he's only allowed half a sack this year. Nevermind that he's failed to block a single defensive tackle in the run game or that has forced the quarterback to scramble on what feels like every down. Let's just use a number, Brad. One stat. Ignore what happens on the field. Omiyale was an organizational ...

I'm going to focus in on run blocking only for the sake of time, and for the sake of argument given that ...
