Ben Johnson knew he needed somebody proven to handle the defense given his own offensive background. Not only that, but it had to be someone who shared his philosophies on creativity, hard work, discipline, and toughness. That is how he came around to Dennis Allen. Johnson had been following the...
The Chicago Bears offense has been miserable for years. A lot of that has been because they aren't talented enough. Poor drafting and overall construction make it hard to score. However, more often than people care to admit, it's because the unit is poorly coached and poorly disciplined....
It hasn't taken long to realize that Ben Johnson is a completely different animal from his predecessor. Where Matt Eberflus seemed laid back and focused on player effort, Johnson is maniacal about details. He wants and expects every player to be on top of their responsibilities, play in and play...
The space between the beginning of June and the end of July is the longest break NFL players get during a calendar year. Most of them prefer to get away, recharge, and prepare for the brutal preparation of training camp. However, some players don't want to wait for that day. They choose to take...
Usually, head coaches aren't focused on the actual stats for their quarterbacks. All they want is for them to lead scoring drives. It doesn't matter how it gets done. However, Ben Johnson isn't naive. He knows the nature of the modern game runs through the quarterback position. The better the...
The Chicago Bears have plenty of roster questions to sort out and less than two months to do so. By far the most important for Ben Johnson and the coaching staff is the situation at left tackle. For the past three years, Braxton Jones held that job. However, a broken leg last season threw plans...
Things always tend to happen once training camp arrives. Teams take stock of their rosters and decide to make one or two tweaks via free agency. The Chicago Bears are no strangers to this. They've done it every year under GM Ryan Poles. This time is no different. Reports came out that the Bears...
Upgrading the offensive line was the biggest focus of the Chicago Bears' offseason. It was for obvious reasons. Whenever you're young quarterback gets sacked 68 times in a season, something is wrong. Also, new head coach Ben Johnson understood from his time in Detroit that the fastest way to...
We all know the story by now. Caleb Williams was the heavy favorite to be the #1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. The Chicago Bears held that pick. However, there was a stretch of time where it felt like there was a possibility the two sides wouldn't come together. Considering their rough...
One thing that is fully guaranteed when a new coaching staff takes over is things won't stay the same. Players who thought they had a firm grasp on starting jobs now sit on uncertain ground. Some may not even last on the roster. If there was anybody who seemed relatively safe going into this year,...
The Chicago Bears defense underachieved last year. Part of it was the disintegration of the locker room as Matt Eberflus lost the respect of players. His unwillingness to take accountability for his mistakes seemed fan the flames until guys started tuning him out. However, there was a simpler...
One thing is becoming clear about new head coach Ben Johnson. He isn't somebody to rest on his laurels. Since he took over, the Chicago Bears have been aggressive in overhauling the offensive depth chart from top to bottom. Nowhere is that clearer than the passing game. Two new tight ends arrived...
