One thing to always remember about offseason work is it never delivers exactly what you expect. Invariably, there are always two or three players nobody talked about who rise up to snag roster spots by the end of the preseason. The Chicago Bears have seen this happen many times over the years. It...
Ben Johnson isn't out to show everybody he's the smartest guy in the room, even if he often is. He wants to win. It really is that simple. That is what drives his approach to the game. Chicago Bears players have been finding out over the past few months that this head coach is like nothing they've...
After shaking up the roster, the Chicago Bulls didn't have the season they hoped for. However, there was plenty to be excited about. Nothing should've drawn more buzz than the rapid and unexpected ascent of Matas Buzelis. Expectations for the 11th overall pick were subdued. The 20-year-old never...
If you ask people around the NFL, there are already answers on much of the 2024 quarterback class. Jayden Daniels was an instant sensation in Washington, guiding the Commanders to an NFC championship appearance. Drake Maye looked like a pro despite rough circumstances in New England. Bo Nix led...
The Chicago Bears go into the summer with few concerns regarding their roster. Sure, there are questions about running back and edge rusher, but it feels like the team at least has potential answers for those problems. However, it feels as if head coach Ben Johnson and his staff inherited one that...
Free agency was defined mainly by five moves from the Chicago Bears. It started with two trades for guards Joe Thuney and Jonah Jackson. Then they secured top center Drew Dalman on the market. Things concluded with the arrival of Dayo Odeyingbo and Grady Jarrett on the defensive line. For most...
Time is the greatest luxury a team can have this time of year. That is because it's limited. The CBA doesn't allow coaches the same extended periods of practice they enjoyed in the earlier days of the league. That means guys like Ben Johnson can't afford to waste a single second of the practice...
Speed is arguably the most coveted trait among NFL teams. It doesn't matter what position you play. If you're fast, you almost certainly will get at least a tryout in the pros. Look at the greats in league history; many have that in common. They were fast relative to their position. For Ruben...
Detecting whether a new head coach will succeed or fail is incredibly difficult. In truth, every hire is tantamount to a roll of the dice. Some teams are better at it than others, but that could just mean they're luckier. The Chicago Bears have seen this reality play out multiple times. After...
The Chicago Bears were able to address almost every position of need in the offseason. Most agree that the only one that didn't get as much attention as expected was running back. However, many still don't think they did enough at edge rusher. Their only notable addition was Dayo Odeyingbo. While...
Nobody should retcon history. DJ Moore didn't want Caleb Williams. He made that pretty clear before the NFL draft when he constantly encouraged the Chicago Bears to keep Justin Fields. One could understand the sentiment. Fields had established himself as a locker room leader. It didn't hurt that...
There is a common saying around football. No matter what happens, players must do everything in their power to be ready for training camp. Nothing else matters. Just get to the end of July healthy and in shape. Organized Team Activities? Mandatory minicamps? Those don't mean anything. Here's the...
