The Bears had a new player at left tackle today!
As we all know, the Bears' offensive line is a pretty hefty question mark.
Well, things got even weirder today at practice as we had a report that rookie Braxton Jones was playing left tackle with the first team and Larry Borom at playing right tackle. Teven Jenkins was at RT with the 2nd team.
This is a pretty big shakeup from the past few weeks where Borom was starting at LT and Jenkins was at RT.
According to Adam Jahns Bears coach Matt Eberflus basically described Jones' work with the 1s and Borom's move to the right side as an experimentation for the OL before training camp. He indicated it happened before today, too. They're also doing the same with other positions.
I like that the Bears are trying out different combos, especially on the offensive line. I think this could provide great results and it could also be an extra motivation for the young players. After all, we would not want them to get too satisfied...
