1 of Bears' big offseason additions has turned it around when no one was looking

As easily expected after Ben Johnson was hired as head coach, the Chicago Bears remodeled their offensive line. Specifically, the interior trio was quickly made new after trades for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson along with the signing of center Drew Dalman in free agency.

In Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings. that new interior trio struggled. Thuney and Dalman both posted Pro Football Focus run blocking grades below 60 and they each allowed four quarterback pressures.

Jackson was the worst of the bunch though. PFF credited him with five pressures allowed, as he posted a 22.6 pass blocking grade and a 44.8 run blocking grade. He also added two false starts to his rough performance.

With that struggle in mind, questions about how Jackson fit into the Bears' plan to overhaul the interior offensive line were easy. His history with Johnson in Detroit only goes so far considering he entered this season with over 3,600 career snaps at left guard and just 211 at right guard. Thuney has been one of the best left guards in the league for a long time but someone with more experience than Jackson has on the right side would seem to be a better fit.

Jonah Jackson has turned it around since rough Week 1

With all the attention being paid to the Bears' left tackle situation, it can be easy to overlook anything else that's been happing along the offensive line, good or bad. But here's a look at what Jackson did in the last three games before the bye week.

Week 2: 68.2 overall PFF grade, 80.2 pass blocking grade, 60.0 run blocking grade
Week 3: 68.9 overall PFF grade, 71.8 pass blocking grade, 65.1 run blocking grade
Week 4: 52.5 overall PFF grade, 55.1 pass blocking grade, 58.3 run blocking grade

Jackson has two penalties over those three games, after the aforementioned two in Week 1 alone. He has allowed three quarterback pressures over that span, after ceding five in Week 1.

Acquiring Jackson, only to move him away from the position at which he has performed the best during his career. looked like a very bad idea one game in. But it was only one game, and he has clearly adjusted to essentially doing everything the opposite of what he did at left guard.

As things (hopefully) start to really come together for the Bears' offense coming off their bye week, Jackson finding his way at right guard is a sneaky important factor.
