Great video explaining Poles' rebuild plan & progress.

If the D and Olines can be good (and stay healthy), I definitely could see 10 or more wins.  But if the lines struggle it will be a disappointing season.  The depth seems thin too.  Injuries to key lineman guys (like Sweat for one... or a starter or two on the OL) then we won't see a winning season.  That DL looks shaky, even WITH a healthy Sweat.  I ask myself what the season looks like in 2024 if we don't even have him in there.  

And the offensive line is questionable on the interior especially.  Nate Davis is a big question mark.  The C position may, or may not be better (nobody wants to hear that but we have 2 meh players "fighting" for that starting spot) and if Jenkins goes down for his annual IR stint... man, you add it all up and we could see another disappointing year.  But maybe we have a stroke of luck and both lines perform well and stay healthy.

I keep thinking that 2025, when the last of the rebuild happens, it needs to be the year of the linemen in our draft and FA.  Both D & Olines.  The team will not be a contender in the division (and sure as heck not super bowl ready) until the lines are where they need to be - including solid depth players.

Mark my words, the difference between that 10-12 win season, versus the 7-8 win season, will come down to the trenches this year... more than ever.  If they are solid, the season will be solid.

And hopefully a couple of these DL and OL players will show real progress this season... that they are ascending.  That could be the case, but we just don't know that as fact until they play the games this year.  I'm curious to see if Jenkins can prove he is healthy enough to re-sign.  If he has another IR plagued year then that will be a shame.  The guy has talent, but his body is too fragile to think about extending his contract.  Nate Davis could end up playing a solid season for us... we really need that to happen.  Brax and Wright will hopefully take a step up this year too.  We have two guys signed for C, and hopefully one of them will be solid, but I'm not holding my breath that either of those two guys are the answer long-term.  On the DL, hopefully Dexter is the guy we hope he can be.  The rest of the DL, not named Sweat, are iffy.  But one or more of those guys could showcase real improvement and surprise us.  I can't wait for the real season to begin.  Because it could be a really good year if some of these guys prove to be ascending (and stay heathy).  But if not then 2025 will be the "Year of the Linemen" in the Bears draft and FA.  

Yeah, I agree with you.  We don't know for sure how it will play out.
