One of the benefits of having a former offensive lineman in Ryan Poles as Bears general manager is knowing he’s going to address the weaknesses that have plagued the offensive line.
Poles confirmed as much during his introductory press conference, when he said the offensive line will be a focal point for him. Which is great news for quarterback Justin Fields. After all, Fields was one of the most-sacked quarterbacks in the NFL last season.
As a former offensive lineman, Poles has a good idea of what he’s looking for in offensive linemen, which includes running to the quarterback’s aid after he’s been laid out. Something that didn’t happen often enough last season.
