Here is how the offensive line looked like in practice yesterday
Yesterday was the start of a 3-day minicamp for the Bears. This means that we got a chance to see what the current starting lineup is looking like for the team. Let's focus on the offensive line for now.
Here is how it looked:
LT: Larry Borom
LG: Cody Whitehair
C: Lucas Patrick
RG: Sam Mustipher
RT: Teven Jenkins
I am frankly a little surprised by the tackles. I was absolutely certain that Teven Jenkins would be viewed as the clear left tackle. However, I don't think this is necessarily a knock on him but more a vote of confidence for Larry Borom. He played pretty well last year and he was able to adapt to a lot of tough situations thrown at him.
When asked on the subject, Matt Eberflus said after practice that is all part of a lengthy process of looking at guys in different spots.
However, I think the right guard spot is a glaring need for now. I don't believe Mustipher should be starting for the Bears come week 1. He can be a good depth piece and plug-in-play type of guy, but I don't think the Bears can feel confident if he starts.
