Leno was a 7th round draft pick and it’s admirable how he’s developed into an average or so LT.
He’s surprisingly decent as a run blocker and has been barely competent as a pass blocker.
He really struggles against speed rushers and this prevents the QB from extending plays.
Leno was alarmingly bad last year as was the whole line and I haven’t heard any media, analyst, coach or player
be able to explain why.
Everyone says Heistand is a good coach and won’t place blame on him.
I heard Kyle Long on the SCORE 2 weeks ago and he had no explanation.
Years ago under Jauron the Bears had guys off the street at LT and another position or 2.
They were awful to start the season but improved as the season wore on indicating good OL coaching.
We didn’t see that improvement last year only continued bad play.
To get to the point, to me it depends on what Castillo thinks after his film study.
If he finds we have 2-3 guys not physically capable there have to be changes.
The 2 biggest problems last year were QB and OL. You could get 2 starters on the OLthis draft, which is described as deep for OL.
