Lost confidence?
He was benched....
Yeah Bullard was a major disappointment last year. Seemed to regress. His quick first step never showed up on gameday

Prime Orlando Pace HOF caliber play. Anything less and he's a bust and Pace should be fired.

Leno gave up 32 pressures last season, ranking him at #44 of offensive tackles. Massie was even worse with 41 pressures given up. That combined 73 pressures put the OT duo near or at the very bottom of the list of all NFL OT duos.
Leno has been pretty consistent
Are we really still hoping for white to do more then go on ir? If anything I want to see if Meredith can do more then reap the rewards of playing opposite Jeffry
On defense I want to see something from Bullard
1) Source? Where did you get this data? And please don't say PFF...
2) how many occurred when Jay was under center?

I am 100% replacing Massie in 2018.
I would look for a Leno replacement, but not mortgage myself to find it, if Leno plays at the exact same level that he did last season.
If Leno takes a step forward I would gladly extend him at tier 2 LT money.
I do love that Leno is available every week.
Do you believe that Charles Leno does not need to improve? That the Bears cannot upgrade at LT?
You are acting like people are saying cut him. When actually we are saying that if he improves a little the Bears would be a RT away from having one of the best OLs in the league.
Kyle Long back to RT?
Not my point nor the point I'm arguing. Can he improve? Sure. that's a straw man question. Every player in the NFL can improve.
The point is that you called him average and I think that's ridiculous.
Stats are from PFF. But I am not citing his "PFF grade", just giving you his raw numbers. 4 sacks and 32 pressures. Also, 3 sacks along with 6 pressures in the final 3 games of the season.
What is he?
He is an average starting LT in the NFL. I think that is an incredibly fair assessment of him.
That is not a bad thing. My hope is that this season he can move to the above average realm and that we can extend him and just focus on getting Massie the hell off the field.
To be clear, there are designed offensive tackle techniques used by every OT in the NFL for maintaining pad level and pushing the defensive pass rusher out and around/behind the QB. When this happens, assuming your interior linemen have done their job, a pocket forms for the QB to step up into to make the throw.
A season or so back I emailed PFF on why, when I thought it was a relatively clean game for Cutler, the OT's were graded so poorly. The response I got was that if a QB stepped up in the pocket as a pass rusher flew behind him, even if engaged with the OT using proper technique, they considered it a "pressure".
Let me also be clear for anyone who still has questions about PFF,... It's Shit
Leno allowed 4 sacks and was called for holding just once in 16 games last year.
Those are the best stats for a LT in a season since Jimbo covert.
What more do you expect from him?
