The Chicago Bears opted not to play their starters last weekend in the preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins. It was a somewhat controversial decision by head coach Ben Johnson. Players are learning new systems, especially on the offensive side. One would think quarterback Caleb Williams and...
The Chicago Bears have always been careful with their comments about Luther Burden since they drafted him in April. They've praised his talent coming out of Missouri, believing he possesses all the tools necessary to thrive in the NFL. Head coach Ben Johnson has done the same, but with a caveat....
Kyle Monangai has been a revelation for the Chicago Bears. Disappointment reigned everywhere during the NFL draft in April. Fans had been geared up for weeks, hoping the team would go after a running back early in what was billed as one of the strongest classes in recent memory. Unfortunately, they...
The Chicago Bears looked like they already had their depth chart mostly set at offensive tackle. Darnell Wright is the starting right tackle. Braxton Jones and Ozzy Trapilo would battle it out at left tackle. Whoever loses would be the primary swing tackle alongside Kiran Amegadjie. However, if...
Austin Booker stole the show for the Chicago Bears in the preseason opener. He dominated the Miami Dolphins' offensive line for three sacks and almost had at least two others. While the competition may not have been elite, it was a surefire sign that he's made rapid progress from last season....
Hiring a head coach is never a guarantee. The Chicago Bears know that more than most NFL organizations. Over the past 30 years, only two of the seven they've brought in (Lovie Smith and Matt Nagy) ended up with winning records. Ben Johnson hopes to become the third, and by far the most successful....
Ryan Poles had a plan. If the 3rd round of the 2024 draft unfolded as he hoped, he had a roadmap to what would happen in the 4th and 5th rounds. Minutes later, when Kiran Amegadjie landed with the Chicago Bears, Poles saw it. He would take punter Tory Taylor in the 4th round. Next came the hard...
Ben Johnson pushed for joint practices this month for obvious reasons. Training camp is essential fr preparing the Chicago Bears for the regular season. However, at a certain point, practicing against the same players every day loses its overall impact. Getting the chance to work against fresh...
Ben Johnson has controlled the Chicago Bears for a little over six months. He's yet to coach in an actual NFL game, yet he hasn't needed long to make an impression, both inside the locker room and outside. From the fans' perspective, he comes across as intelligent, deliberate, and intense in...
While the Chicago Bears' first preseason game was productive, it was also costly. Injuries struck their secondary hard, with four new names joining the list of wounded alongside Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon. That includes primary backup Terell Smith, putting a severe strain on the team's depth....
The Chicago Bears finally saw players in real action this past weekend. Yes, the preseason games don't matter, but they still hold importance. They are the best tool coaches have for evaluating which players should be on the roster and who should play on Sundays. No position has more eyeballs on it...
Everything about how Ben Johnson runs the Chicago Bears to this point has felt right. Like any head coach, he isn't perfect. Still, his decisions on structuring practices, instilling a team identity, and motivating the players come from places of common sense. Of course, this was never something...
