Bears RT J'Marcus Webb has sobered up since his February arrest for marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Webb has "taken the time to get sober and to remain sober," and expects sobriety to "definitely help me on the field and off." Still only 24 years old -- he turns 25 in August -- Webb is entering a contract year. The Bears anticipate Webb's top-end tools translating to strong pass protection at right tackle. May 5 - 10:06 AM

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

Bears RT J'Marcus Webb says he "welcomes" his move from left tackle to right tackle.

Rodger Saffold could learn something here. "Things happen and you can't control a few things, but it'll be a great move," Webb said. "I can play right tackle ... I can move my hands a little bit, so it should be fun." Webb is wisely avoiding public pouting entering his contract year. It's not outside the realm of possibility Webb will find success on the less taxing side of the offensive line.

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

Bears coach Marc Trestman says J'Marcus Webb will move from left to right tackle with Jermon Bushrod now protecting Jay Cutler's blindside.

The Bears are paying Bushrod $36 million over five years, so he'll obviously be on the left side. Webb has struggled mightily in pass protection and not been an especially terrific run blocker, either. Right tackle is considered an easier NFL position to play, though, because they often get "help" from tight ends.

Pulaski County (Illinois) prosecutors won't pursue charges against Bears LT J'Marcus Webb after he was arrested for possession of marijuana on Sunday.

J'Webb Nation can breathe a sigh of relief. The incident shouldn't have any effect on Webb's standing with the Bears going into the final year of his rookie contract, and will be a dead issue going forward.

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

Bears LT J'Marcus Webb was arrested Sunday for possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

They're minor charges, but getting arrested is never a good idea for a player who has struggled as much as Webb, especially with a new coaching staff in Chicago. Nevertheless, he's signed for an affordable $1.323 million, so Webb's roster spot should not be in danger. His starting job already was.

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

Bears LT J'Marcus Webb triggered an escalator in his rookie deal, raising his 2013 salary from $575,000 to $1.323 million.

Webb has started 44 games over his first three seasons. After being destroyed as Jay Cutler's blindside protector in 2011, Webb bounced back somewhat and finished out the 2012 season on a good note. He enters the final year of his rookie deal and won't be guaranteed a spot under new head coach Marc Trestman.

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

Coach Lovie Smith officially named J'Marcus Webb the Bears' starting left tackle, as expected.

Webb, albeit underwhelmingly, beat out former first-round pick Chris Williams for the right to "protect" Jay Cutler's blindside. It's going to be an issue all season. The first test for Webb is Dwight Freeney and the Colts' new 3-4 in Week 1.

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

J'Marcus Webb is listed as the starting left tackle on the Bears' first depth chart of the preseason.

It was an expected move, but OC Mike Tice hinted at dissatisfaction with Webb's early play. "Like I said, nobody's really stepped out," Tice said. "(We're) going to scheme. ... We're going to make sure we're not embarrassing anybody or hurting our quarterback." Webb was perhaps the league's least effective left tackle last season. Chris Williams will get the first shot at replacing him if the Bears decide they've seen enough.

The Chicago Tribune expects J'Marcus Webb to be named the Bears' starting left tackle before camp ends.

The Tribune's Brad Biggs hints that he's just reading tea leaves, but he's the most plugged-in reporter on the Bears beat, and there's no way he'd be putting this out there without strong information. Webb has struggled mightily in pass protection, but OC Mike Tice seems to love him. If Tice has already decided on Webb, clearly "competitor" Chris Williams never had a real shot.

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

ESPN Chicago expects a true training camp battle between J'Marcus Webb and Chris Williams for the left tackle job.

Webb struggled badly in pass protection last season, committing a league-high 15 offensive penalties and blowing 11.5 blocks that led directly to sacks or holding penalties. The Bears addressed the situation by eliminating seven-stop drops and moving Williams from guard to tackle. Jay Cutler desperately needs one of the two to step up on his blind side.

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

Bears coach Lovie Smith said he's comfortable with J'Marcus Webb as the team's left tackle of the future.

"I don't want to picture it that we are looking for a left tackle," Smith said. "We feel comfortable with (J'Marcus Webb and Gabe Carimi). We like what we have right now for what we're going to do with them." The Bears have yet to schedule any free agent visits with linemen and are not expected to target a tackle with the No. 19 pick in the draft. Pro Football Focus graded Webb 67th among 76 NFL offensive tackles in 2011, and 65th in pass blocking.

New offensive coordinator Mike Tice expressed confidence in J'Marcus Webb as the Bears' left tackle of the future.

Pro Football Focus graded Webb 67th among 76 NFL offensive tackles in 2011, and 65th in pass blocking. "I thought he was adequate," said Tice. "His consistency grade was actually solid. What grade was bad was the critical errors, the sacks, penalties. ... And then you have an entire offseason (with) a chance to make him better. He is a very good run blocker. Do I think he is our guy moving forward? Yes, I do unless some miracle happens."

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

After getting pummeled by Shawne Merriman in the Bears' preseason opener, LT J'Marcus Webb drew the ire of position coach Mike Tice for saying in post-game comments that his "intensity" didn't measure up.

Webb was just being honest, but it's something that understandably would tick off Tice. "I have a problem with that - personally - that a player is saying that he didn't have the intensity level," Tice said. "I mean, [bleep], after sitting around for five months you should have plenty of intensity built up inside you. So I'm a little disappointed by that. ... He needs to step up, play better, and grow up quickly because he's out on an island."

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

Updating previous items, the Bears have now decided to move J'Marcus Webb to left tackle full-time.

"I feel athletically Webb is more suited to be over there," explained OL coach Mike Tice. First-round pick Gabe Carimi will man the right side, with Frank Omiyale now in the "swing" tackle role. The Bears are really rolling the dice that Webb will take a leap as a pass protector this season. He struggled badly at right tackle last year, and that's supposedly an easier position.

J'Marcus Webb - T - Bears

The Bears are keeping J'Marcus Webb at right tackle.

Rookie Gabe Carimi is sticking to his college position, left tackle, and competing with Frank Omiyale. It's the right move. Webb, a 2010 seventh-round pick, struggled in extensive action during his rookie season, particularly getting beat in pass protection. The Chicago Tribune predicted all offseason long that Webb would kick to the blind side, but it hasn't happened yet.
