CHICAGO (WGN) — Six weeks in and five games down, the Chicago Bears have four solid offensive linemen, and the fifth one who needs to pick up the most slack may not be the obvious suspect right off the bat.
At this point in the season, tape and reps are allowing teams to take shape. Players are finding their roles, floors and ceilings for position groups are being revealed, and future needs to improve rosters are becoming more obvious.
Among the position groups showing the most growth for the Bears is the offensive line. Joe Thuney has been every bit the master mind and technician the Bears needed to lead the unit. Darnell Wright and Drew Dalman have proven to be athletic, capable run blockers who hold up in pass pro. Theo Benedet has even started to perform admirably at left tackle.
