Is he blowing smoke? I wonder if Kyle Long also has that right hand issue.
Sun-Times:
Offensive line: The Bears’ belief in Charles Leno Jr. is unwavering.
The battles up front will come at left guard and center. The right side of the line is set with guard Kyle Long and tackle Bobby Massie.
And Leno is the starting left tackle.
There are doubts about Leno outside Halas Hall, but line coach Dave Magazu continues to talk about the promise he sees in the 2014 seventh-round pick who became a full-time starter last season.
“He plays much better on the left than right,” Magazu said. “A lot of that revolves around some of the things, technically, being more dominant on his right hand than his left.”
Second-round pick Cody Whitehair might be an emergency option at tackle, but he’s best-suited at guard, Magazu said.
Leno still has room to develop, too.
“He’s bigger and stronger,” Magazu said. “He’s gained some weight. If you look at him, you can just tell he’s thicker.”
