Chicago Bears beat the Arizona Cardinals: Offensive grades

Offensive Line: B

From the outset, the offensive line for the Chicago Bears played a solid game, especially when running the ball.

Cohen had plenty of room to run, even with Hroniss Grasu pressed into service at center and Cody Whitehair sliding to left guard. And the pass protection typically worked well enough for Glennon to get things done. When Glennon threw that costly red zone interception, he at least had a clean pocket to do it from.

The line absolutely misses Kyle Long, especially with Whitehair now out of his customary center position, but they’re making due. Grasu, while not always generating much push, has been serviceable. And Whitehair rebounded from a tough first game at center. Hopefully, Long can return soon and man the left guard spot once his ankle heals up. But if the Bears have to roll with the Whitehair/Grasu combo, they can make it work.

Unfortunately, that’s where the good ran out for the line, though I won’t grade the reserves too heavily here.

Aside from Cohen, no one else could really generate much running room. And they wiped out couple very nice runs later in the game, such as one from Carey, due to holding. Plus, the backup offensive linemen almost got their franchise quarterback killed a few times.
