One thing that has stood out about Caleb Williams is that he's surprisingly chill about the media criticism he receives. Some quarterbacks might bristle at some of the things said about them. Williams has heard a vast blend of different critiques during his football career. He holds the ball too...
There was no telling what the Chicago Bears would truly get when they hired Ben Johnson. GM Ryan Poles had spent months since firing head coach Matt Eberflus researching various candidates. He knew early on that Johnson was likely the top candidate, but he didn't want to dilute the process by...
Ben Johnson has said from the outset that the Chicago Bears' offense would look considerably different from what he ran in Detroit. That isn't because the head coach is trying to be cheeky. It has everything to do with the personnel he has on hand. The Lions' offense had different strengths...
The Chicago Bears don't have too many glaring issues on their roster going into the regular season. Injuries have eaten into their depth at edge rusher, running back, and cornerback. Outside of that, things seem settled. There is, of course, one glaring exception. The Bears still don't have a...
GM Ryan Poles retained personnel control when the Chicago Bears elected to revamp their power structure. It is how the organization has always operated, so the McCaskey family was unlikely to change it unless they opted to find a new general manager. Still, something felt different when the Bears...
It isn't unusual to see GM Ryan Poles and assistant GM Ian Cunningham on the scouting trail this time of year. College games are underway, and it's time to evaluate the upcoming draft class. However, it gets pretty interesting when the two show up together at the same game. College reporter Jack...
Don't let anybody tell you that general managers don't plan ahead regarding the draft. They always have a keen eye on which players are coming down the pipeline one or two years in the future. Late Boston Celtic legend Red Auerbach was famous for it. He drafted Larry Bird a year before he actually...
There were plenty of reasons Matt Eberflus flopped as the Chicago Bears head coach. He did a poor job building his staff. He seemed to freeze in late-game situations when the score was close. Players always seemed sloppy and unprepared. However, the true sin for him was his inability to inspire....
Ben Johnson was an offensive guy. That often comes with a reputation in the NFL. Most offensive-minded coaches are interested in cutting-edge football. They want surgical precision. Old school ideas are something they scoff at. That is what leads to them earning a reputation as finesse coaches....
Ryan Poles is what you'd call a divisive general manager. Many Chicago Bears fans hate him because he hired Matt Eberflus and hasn't produced a winning season in three years. Others think he is better than he gets credit for, continually adding good pieces to the roster while maintaining a healthy...
Most people believe the Chicago Bears are better on paper than last year. They've upgraded at head coach with Ben Johnson. He'll bring a smart and creative offense to the organization and help elevate Caleb Williams. They have talent at several positions. One would think there'd be some optimism...
Adding Joe Thuney was a no-brainer for the Chicago Bears. He is a multi-time All-Pro guard who will likely enter the Hall of Fame after he retires. Any time you have a chance to add somebody like that to the locker room, you should. Head coach Ben Johnson and GM Ryan Poles knew they needed a...
