And by one you mean 4 false starts 

And one holding for 5 penalties total. I’m sure he will clean this up. He’s a young rookie he will learn.

CROSS’ BAD NIGHT

Rookie Charles Cross is entrenched as the starting left tackle. That’s even though the first-round draft choice, Seattle’s highest pick in a dozen drafts at ninth overall, committed five penalties against Chicago. 

Four of his flags were for false starts before the snap. One was for holding. That ruined a drive that had reached the Bears 27-yard line, an epic march relative to how the rest of the first half went for Seattle. 

Jason Myers then missed a 47-yard field goal.

“We already talked through it,” Carroll said. 

“But him being comfortable, assessing the cadence adjustment and the things that we have to do, it’s just experience. And so this is not going to be something that bothers him forever. We’ve just got to get it cleaned up and settle him in and make sure each situation, that he makes the right assessment does the right job.

Not the last play, but wow Bears, figure out how to build around a quarterback.

Orlovsky pointed out how atrocious the line was. On the first 8 plays he was flushed out almost instantly on 7, and the 1 was a screen.

Going to be a long year for that young man I’d say maybe like Burrow he can overcome a lousy oline (except Aaron Donald at the end of the super bowl) but he only has Mooney and Kmet as weapons so probably not. He has a lot of talent and it just feels like it’s being wasted.
