Winning the line of scrimmage is a key factor to having a successful season. The Bears offensive line will have to be dominant and build a wall to protect their quarterback. They have to keep Jay Cutler upright by eliminating as many hits on him as possible.

Also, creating holes for Matt Forte will be crucial. Guard Kyle Long will need to lead the way. He has become one of the most vocal leaders for the Bears especially on offense.  In the upcoming season, they will need his leadership to help rookie Hroniss Grasu on the offensive line.

Last season Long proved he is one of the top offensive linemen in the game by earning his second Pro Bowl appearance. He will need to carry this over into 2015.

A strong offensive line will be a key element if the team wants to be successful this year.
