Blake Brockermeyer, an 8 year veteran and former first round pick has scheduled a visit with the Bucs. I hope while he is in Florida, he stops by Miami and pays the Dolphins a visit. He could be a good option at LT and shuldn't come with a big price tag.

I have none. The dude's a bum. Chicago's line didn't let up many sacks two years ago primarily because their entire pass arsenal consisted of 3 step drops. They NEVER went deep cuz they never had the time.
You scared me with the title of the thread. I read "Blake Brockermeyer set to visit the...." while my eyes grow terrified before I read "Bucs"
Wheeeww. Big sigh of relief.

I agree with you ck on the Bears scheme. But he is still starter quality and an upgrade to Webb IMO. Does anyone know how he played in Denver?
I can't honestly ever remember paying attention to Brockermeyer playing, but I know he was a first round pick and that Miami was really interested in him a few years back when he finished his contract in Carolina and became a free agent. I do know that he has had the injury bug the past few years. I was just passing along some info that I came across and presenting another possible option. By no means am I pushing for Miami to sign this guy. It wouldn't hurt to bring him in for a physical and talk to the guy, since he will be in the area is all I'm saying. ***shrug***

Seems like he is not very injury prone, but I was surprised to see he did not start at LT for the Broncos. I take back my comment and would rather have Webb mixing with Dixon or a LT from the draft.

Pro Career
Blake Brockermeyer's addition to the Broncos' offensive line adds a great deal of competition at the tackle position. He was signed June 11, 2002, and is healthy and ready to compete at training camp after offseason surgeries on his right shoulder and left knee. Brockermeyer has played in 104 games (100 starts) and three postseason contests (all starts) for Carolina (1995-98) and Chicago (1999-2001) since entering the NFL as a first-round draft choice (29th overall) of the expansion Carolina Panthers in 1995. He became an unrestricted free agent in 1999 and signed with Chicago Feb. 27, 1999. He was waived by the Bears (failed physical) April 5, 2002.
2001
Brockermeyer started all 16 regular season games for Chicago and the club's one postseason game, vs. Phila. He helped lead the Bears' resurgence that resulted in the club returning to the playoffs for the first time since 1994 and winning its first divisional title since 1990.
2000
Brockermeyer played in 15 games (14 starts) for the Bears. He missed the Sept. 24 contest against Detroit after developing cellulitis of his upper right arm during the week leading up to the game. He returned to action Oct. 1 against Green Bay in the second quarter and then started the final 11 games of the season.
1999
Brockermeyer started all 15 games in which he played for the Bears. He missed the Oakland game (9/26) because of a migraine. Brockermeyer signed with Chicago as an unrestricted free agent Feb. 27.
1998

1997
Brockermeyer played in all 16 games (13 starts) for the Panthers and helped the offense register over 300 yards of offense in each of the final 13 games that season.
1996
Brockermeyer started all 12 games in which he played with the Panthers, and also started both postseason contests for Carolina. A fractured thumb on Nov. 24 against Houston brought his 28-game starting streak to an end the next week as he was inactive vs. Tampa Bay (12/1).
1995
Brockermeyer started all 16 games as a rookie for the expansion Carolina Panthers. He was one of just nine Panthers to start every game during the club's inaugural season. Brockermeyer was a member of an offensive line that helped rookie quarterback Kerry Collins become the first quarterback since Dan Marino in 1983 to end his rookie campaign with a winning record. He was a first round pick (29th overall) by the Panthers in 1995.
College Highlights
Brockermeyer was voted to the all-century team for the University of Texas Longhorns. After redshirting as a freshman, he started every game for the rest of his career, earning All-America honors each year. Brockermeyer was a consensus All-American as a junior before declaring himself eligible for the NFL Draft, after earning first-team All-America honors as a redshirt freshman and sophomore at right tackle. He was a speech major at Texas.

I forget, who is the one that beat Brockermeyer in the Broncos camp for the starting job? Ephraim Salaam?
Shouldn't that say enough about the dude right there? I dunno, I just don't like Brockermeyer that much but you're right he is a proven starter and if he came in cheap enough might be worth it.
