Ryan Poles' vision of improving the Bears might surprise those unaware of his own playing background Bill Melton Jersey or succe s in Kansas City.A city forever consumed by their football team's inability to pa s and score points has a general manager who sees an immediate need to fix something else.

"We've got to continue to work onthat, get that to a level, and I think you'll start to see more points be scored and more efficiency, moreexplosive plays. "Everything kind of plays off of that.

Their average per rush of 4.2 yards was Ryan Goins Jersey 21st in the 32-team league.Former GM Ryan Pace didn't devote much energy to drafting on the offensive line until last year when he selected tackles Teven Jenkins and Larry Borom in the first and fifth rounds, respectively.

There's good pa s rushers on this team."Poles, a former Boston College tackle and an undrafted free agent offensive lineman in 2008 training camp for the Bears Chicago White Sox Jersey , should know about offensive line talent. The a sistant GM he signed from the Philadelphia Eagles, Ian Cunningham, is also a former offensive lineman. But there's no doubt Poles knows what it takes to play on the offensive line."I would Lucas Giolito Jersey say it comes a little bit from my own background but also a lot of the guys I've worked for emphasized the same thing, that it starts up front," Poles said. "You've got to win up front and that makes everything a lot easier."
