The PFF group grade for the Bears offensive line put them in the top half of the league after a training camp and preseason of uncertainty due to injuries.
The Bears offensive line came in with high individual grades from Pro Football Focus and when PFF put out its group grade the Bears line was 14th in the league.PFF's story on offensive line rankings by Zoltán Buday says they're two behind the Green Bay Packers, a line which failed to keep their quarterback from being hit and injured. This all despite numerous highlights on social media showing mistakes the line made, particularly on the interior.
The Bears offensive line rated this high despite essentially conducting a competition at right guard. They gave Nate Davis half the start but he had less than half the play reps as replacement Ryan Bates.ANALYSIS: SHANE WALDRON PROUD OF THE LITTLE THINGS LIKE WEEK 1 BEARS OFFENSEThis week it's unclear what happens but Bates sat out practice Thursday with an injury that had been plaguing him before the regular season started.
Offensive coordinator Shane Waldron cited the work of his line coach with getting the line moving in the right direction after a few injury issues in camp."Chris Morgan and the offensive line have done a good job talking about a group that started out yesterday bringing the right attitude, bringing the right effort. Those guys set the tone for practice like they will every day. Excited to see what those guys go out and do next week.
