Anyone who watched this game should not be surprised by this spot. Josh Sitton, Cody Whitehair and Kyle Long did pretty well on the interior. Whitehair missed some stunts that did cause Jay Cutler some grief, but the biggest problem on the offensive line was a the tackles.

Leno really struggled. He was protecting Cutler’s blindside and didn’t do it well. His run blocking wasn’t great, but his pass protection was very poor. Leno is going to have to play at a significantly higher level if the Bears offensive line is going to improve. They have little to no depth at tackle and need Leno to be a solid left tackle for the season.
