Bears Named Number 10 by ESPN

ESPN.com’s daily list of the top 10 teams at each position continues today, with ESPN ranking the top 10 offensive lines in the National Football League.  The teams are ranked based on how the units play together, how may yards a team averages per rush, and how few sacks they allow.  As any Houston Texans fan can tell you, a quality offensive line is an integral part of any winning team, and if your line can’t keep your quarterback protected or help open holes for your running backs to run through, then your team is most likely in for a very long season.

That being said, the Bears were ranked number 10 by espn.com today, which many Bears fans may find to be fairly low.  The Bears were outranked by teams the likes of the San Diego Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, NFC preseason favorite New Orleans Saints, and the Denver Broncos, to name a few.  The Bears are going to need to show that they actually belong in the elite class of the NFL when it comes to every single position if they hope to get back to the Super Bowl this year.  The Bears were hurt by an average of only 3.8 yards per carry last year, which they’ll need to improve upon in 2007.
