Bear’s fans starts to get excited every year around this time, but this year is different. Chicago has put together an offense with several threats at every skilled position. The receivers have an excellent opportunity to put together a duo, if not a trio that could easily lead the NFC. The back field is shaping up like it will be a force of its own to be dealt with by opposing defenses. And at quarterback, well, let’s just say Cutler will have no excuses this year.
Before you go on a rant commenting about reading a similar article to this each of the previous two summers, let me explain just why this season is different. Chicago’s got good glue this year.

His replacement is finally ready. In his fourth season in the NFL and making a much needed move back to the right guard spot on the line, Kyle Long is the perfect candidate to step up and lead the Bear’s front line. He has the talent and the respect of the players both on the field and in the locker room to keep their attention.
As the 20th pick in the 2013 draft, Kyle Long became the first Chicago offensive lineman to make it to the Pro Bowl since 2006. He was also the first Chicago rookie to reach the Pro Bowl since 2009. After reaching the Pro Bowl game again in 2014, Kyle Long became the first offensive lineman in franchise history to do so in each of his first two seasons.

Each week, we has put his focus and attention on a single aspect, which will lead to him being an all-around more productive member of the line. He has also spent hours every day in both the kitchen and weight room gaining over 20 pounds.
In an effort to create more competition at every spot on the line, Chicago has made some moves this year, including signing Ted Larson. He brings a lot of experience with him, starting in all 16 games 4 of his 6 seasons. He has spent quality time at each of the three interior line positions, adding strength wherever the Bears will need it most.
Bobby Massie will also be playing his first season in Chicago. He has started in 46 games over the last 4 seasons, all of which were at the right tackle position. Last season he played a huge role on an offensive line which only allowed 27 sacks and accumulated well over 4,000 yards through the air.
Chicago has also acquired several rookies through the draft, all giving whatever it takes, trying to be an ingredient of this year’s offensive
