Bears o-line coach Harry Hiestand on Cody Whitehair’s snapping issues and when

James Daniels could start One of the top offseason discussions surrounding the Chicago Bears was when rookie James Daniels Adrian Amos Jersey , their second-round center from Iowa, would take over as their starting center. After the draft, the Bears talked about him playing left guard, and that was where he was playing most of OTAs, but an injury to a teammate led to Daniels getting more reps at center. I thought he looked pretty good in his limited preseason time at his more comfortable center spot, but it wasn’t good enough to take Cody Whitehair’s job as the starting center according to head coach Matt Nagy and offensive line coach Harry Hiestand. Even though Whitehair struggled with a few bad snaps during camp, the Bears valued the experience Whitehair had. The Bears eventually found more time for Daniels to battle for a starting job at left guard against Eric Kush Authentic Khalil Mack Jersey , but Kush won that job for week 1. Just before the season, it came out that the reason the 20-year old Daniels wasn’t ready to start was more mental than physical. The Bears weren’t comfortable with his grasp of the fronts he’d be seeing in the NFL, and where the blitzes would likely be coming from. Before this revelation I was squarely in the play-the-kid camp, but if he’s not quite ready to recognize what he’s seeing, then I’m fine with easing him into the lineup when he’s ready. Chicago’s o-line coach is one of the best in the business, and Coach Hiestand recently talked about Whitehair and Daniels with Colleen Kane from the Chicago Tribune. If the snapping issues continue, they may be forced to make a change. If Whitehair does move to left guard Youth Nick Kwiatkoski Jersey , it shouldn’t be looked at like a demotion. He’s one of their best o-linemen, and I think he’ll thrive at that spot.Whether at guard or center, I think Daniels is one of their best five offensive linemen once he has the mental side of things down. I think by mid-season, at the very latest, we’ll see him running out with the first string.FanPulse: How Bears and Seahawks fans see Monday’s game Welcome to SB Nation FanPulse — a survey of fans across the NFL, powered by SurveyMonkey. Each week, we send 32 polls to 100+ plugged in fans from each team. Bears fans http://www.bearsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-tarik-cohen-jersey , sign up HERE to join FanPulse.These FanPulse surveys are short and sweet, but I think they provide some neat info for us to share each week. This first question, gauging our confidence in the Chicago Bears, will likely fluctuate with wins and losses. The narrow loss on Sunday Night Football to the Green Bay Packers caused a 11% dip in this week’s poll. Check out this week’s results in the graphic below. How confident are you in the direction of the team? Last week: 93 percent confidenceI’d expect a similar drop if the Bears lose on Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks in Chicago’s home opener, but if they even their record at 1-1, I predict we’re back up over 90%.Will the Bears win or lose in Week 2?Odds: Bears are 3-point favoritesWindy City Gridiron FanPulse: Bears by 6Field Gulls FanPulse: Seahawks by 2I’m not surprised that Bears’ fans are taking the Bears, while Seahawks’ fans are picking the Seahawks. The average scoring margin tells me that we’re a lot more confident in our team than they are with theirs however. For the record Eddie Jackson Jersey , I picked the Bears to win by 10.This results of the final question this week pleases me. Other than QB, what is most valuable to an NFL offense? Left tackle was the overwhelming answer across all the FanPulse team surveys. I’m always good seeing the offensive line getting some love. I voted for the left tackle too, but a good argument could be made that right tackle is up there too. Defenses no longer exclusively put their best edge rusher on their right side to attack the blindside of QBs. Chicago’s Khalil Mack (I still smile when I type that) and Denver’s Von Miller are two of the best sack-artists in the game today, and both do most of their damage of the defense’s left side.
