The Chicago Bears have had a lot of shuffling and sorting on their offensive line. So, we have been going through each position and grading how each player has looked so far. Where do the Bears grade out on the offensive line?
Chicago Bears left tackle
Larry Borom: 253 snaps
Primary matchups: Mike Danna, Felix Anuduike-Uzomah, Nik Bonitto, Jonathan Cooper, Chase Young, Pat Jones, DJ Wonnum
Things are not going well for Larry Borom right now. He was thrown into the mix in week four after Braxton Jones was placed on the IR, and he has not found his groove yet. In his first game, he was not a huge disappointment, but the game got out of hand quickly.
The Broncos had a better look at him and took advantage. Borom committed two penalties, allowed a sack, and four pressures per PFF. Most of that came against Nik Bonitto and Jonathan Cooper, so it was not the worst competition. That set up for him to struggle against Chase Young the following week, though. After the weaker rushers got him, Young was licking his chops and beat him all night.
In week seven, he matched up with D.J. Wonnum and Pat Jones a lot. Wonnum had his best game of the year as a pass rusher. He beat him outside a few times, but Borom really struggled with stunts next to Teven Jenkins. The team has a bad situation brewing here.
Larry Borom Grade: D-
Braxton Jones: 126 snaps
Primary matchups: Preston Smith, Justin Hollins, Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, Anthony Nelson
