Bears’ decision on Kyle Long involves more than just Long

“The Kyle Long North American Tour” concluded Thursday with the two-time Pro Bowl right guard at left tackle, after stints at right tackle during the minicamp. Where Long begins training camp, and ultimately the season, may depend on not only where Long individually is best suited, but also how his positioning affects the overall. For instance:

Is the line better with Long at left tackle and Jermon Bushrod at right, considering that Bushrod has been a solid left tackle most of his career? Do the Bears get stronger at left tackle for the longer term, but lose something by moving Bushrod?
