4 reasons the Chicago Bears can turn this season around starting against Detroit
By Tony Daly
The Bears improved health has led to better offensive line execution
The right side of the Bears' offensive line has become a real strength of this offense. Rookie Darnell Wright has been a revelation at right tackle, and the return of the dominant powerhouse that is Teven Jenkins to partner with him has been a nightmare for opposing defenses.
Larry Borom for me is nothing more than a swing tackle option, and we’ve seen how he has been exposed as the starter for the last few weeks. With Braxton Jones back at left tackle full-time last Thursday, the Bears line looked more settled. Jones still has some way to go with his development, but for me, there are real signs that he is the left tackle of the future for the Bears.
Nate Davis is also due to return from injury shortly. Upon his return, he should slide into one of the guard spots, and suddenly 4 out of your 5 linemen are set. The center position is going to be a problem until it is addressed in the off-season, but as it stands, the offensive line will be much better placed to protect Justin Fields than it was before his injury.
