The offensive line hasn’t been all bad. Charles Leno was better last week (Bobby Massie wasn’t) and Cody Whitehair showed improvement as well. Josh Sitton has been solid and this guy is once again proving to be the rock up front.

Long isn’t just a leader on the offensive line, he’s a leader of the team. He gets his job done play after play and proves why he was worth the extension the Bears gave him. If the middle three of the offensive line continue to gel and Leno gets back to where he was last season, the Bears offensive line might not be as bad as it looks right now. Now only if they can lock Massie in a closet at Halas Hall and lose the key.
