The biggest need for the Bears in the offseason was to strengthen their offensive line.  Chicago allowed the most sacks in the entire league last year including giving up ten sacks to the Giants in which Jay Cutler got knocked out of the game.  The Bears spent their first-round selection on right tackle Gabe Carimi.  Before training camp, the Bears let go of  veteran and six time Pro Bowl center Olin Kreutz.  The Bears signed former Seahawks center Chris Spencer to replace Kreutz.  In their first preseason game against the Bills, the offensive line was dismal.  Bears fans started to panic but after watching Monday’s game against the Giants, they can feel more confident.  All eyes were on the offensive line for the preseason game and they performed pretty well.  The pass protection was great but they did have some struggles establishing a running game.
