Bears Can Rest Easy With Tight Ends

Unlike the rest of the offense, the tight end position is well covered for the Chicago Bears thanks to Desmond Clark and Greg Olsen. Clark has been with the Bears since 2003 as a free agent from Miami. Since then, he has given the Bears 15 touchdowns including 10 in the last two seasons. The Bears got Olsen straight out of college and in his first year for the Monsters of the Midway he had 391 yards and two touchdowns.

By losing Cedric Benson at running back and Muhsin Muhammad and Bernard Berrian at wide receiver, the Bears offense is a little sparse. Add in the shaky quarterback combo of Rex Grossman and Kyle Orton, and the Bears need some offensive stability. Not only do Clark and Olsen make the tight end position strong, they give Da Bears some needed wiggle room to play with the rest of the offensive lineup. Clark has been consistently good, and Olsen gave more than you can ask from most rookies. The 6’5” 255 pounder out of Miami is just getting his feet wet in the NFL and will more than likely put up even bigger stats this season.
