What happened is the tackle was going to loop outside with the defensive end crashing. Jenkins did his job by switching to the crashing DE. Borom has to slide off of his block and pick up the looping tackle

yea it was a dline stunt but just poor communication between borom and jenkins to identify and handle the stunt...jenkins was late to pick up the DE as he's then able to split jenkins and borom which is what caused the pressure.

A couple of things that impressed me most last night with Fields was 1) how cool, calm, and collected he looked on each play. You could tell he was feeling it. 2) I liked the the throw away out of bounds on the play when the pocket collapsed and nobody was open. Last year he probably takes the sack there.

This comment is my favorite. The media can talk about lack of weapons, the loss of Mack and Hicks, and generally not being talented on paper. But this is the bottom line. The OL provides the floor for any team. And while this isn't the ideal OL, there is quietly a little bit of talent here. Jenkins is still the guy that was a top 20-25 talent from the last draft. Not a big deal that it's not at LT like Pace had hoped. His elite traits show just as much at RG. Borom and Jones are a pair of 5th round guys, who probably are 3rd round picks if Jones played against better competition and if Borom was in the shape he is in now. And they have the same OC that GB had when nobody complained about Rodgers protection, which consisted of a 4th round rookie, a 30-year old journeyman, a 2nd year 6th round pick, and 2 former UDFAs for the most part in 2021.

As for the ceiling part, nobody in the media seems to be considering the fact that Justin Fields may just be THAT damn good. I've said all season, the Bears offensive weapons isn't some unprecedent bad group. Josh Allen led a similar Bills WR group to 10 wins in 2019. Lamar Jackson has led multiple bad WR corps to double digit wins. If Fields is the guy from last night, then it won't really matter who he is throwing to. Sure, he won't throw for 4800 yards and 30 TDs with this group, but there's no reason he can't win games....which is more important.

I believe Jenkins is going to grow into a dominant offensive lineman. I saw him whiff badly on that first play last night (can't tell if it was he or Borom, but neither looked good on that first play). And he'll probably grade-out as a C+ that game, but as someone else stated, once he gets his hands on you, it's over. And it tells me something when the starting running back talks about how much he enjoys running behind a lineman.

That was on Borom. 94 lined up at LE and started outside on Borom. Jenkins blocked his guy then saw 94 stunt inside and tried to help Borom.
