Bears center Roberto Garza could be the only offensive lineman who is safe from a possible position change. Offensive coordinator Mike Tice said the team is considering all options to get improved play from the line.

About this Article

Offensive coordinator Mike Tice didn't waste any time getting right to the point in Wednesday's news conference. "There are a couple of things that I know are right," he said. "In a season when you run three-step drops, you should have no sacks at the end of the season. To give up 3 in one game is totally unacceptable. Secondly, it’s hard to chip bull rushes because a guy is down the middle of a guy and, at a certain point, a player needs to grit his teeth, buck up and win a fight.”
