The Chicago Bears knew their mission even before the 2024 season ended. Aside from all the other things needed to fix this team, the goal for 2025 was to get the situation around Caleb Williams fixed. That meant a multifaceted approach where they overhauled almost everything from the coaching staff...
The Chicago Bears knew they had to swing big for their next head coach. For too long, they were content trying to get on base with bunts like Matt Eberflus, Matt Nagy, and Marc Trestman. They never seemed willing to go after the biggest fish of every coaching cycle. Some wondered if they were too...
It's rare, but there are times in NFL history when a player many thought was a lost cause suddenly ascended to NFL success after a coaching staff change. Marcus Robinson was a nobody in 1998. A year later when Dick Jauron arrived with creative offensive coordinator Gary Crowton, the receiver...
The hardest part of being a new head coach is getting it across to players that they should take you seriously. That is especially difficult in a locker room like the Chicago Bears'. Some of their players are now on their third head coach. They've heard all the speeches before. If Ben Johnson wants...
The Chicago Bears know the key to their success in 2025 is getting Caleb Williams to the point where he's playing like a true franchise quarterback. For head coach Ben Johnson, that presents a challenge. He must teach Williams how to play like a traditional QB. That means standing the pocket, going...
Mandatory minicamps aren't where teams determine who the great players will be. However, they can often be a launchpad for further opportunities in training camp and the preseason. That is why rookies should take them seriously. Braxton Jones knows that. He used them in 2022 to launch himself to...
Tyrique Stevenson should have a particular affection for Matt Eberflus. After all, the former Chicago Bears head coach pushed to draft the former Miami cornerback two years ago and helped Stevenson develop into a starter. However, Eberflus' exit from the organization involved him not doing much to...
The Chicago Bears were seeing good progress in Organized Team Activities. Head coach Ben Johnson and his staff were grinding players every day, making sure they're always on top of details and never cutting corners. It was intense. The hard work was ceaseless. Not that players were complaining....
Ben Johnson understood the challenge and expectations that came with the head coaching job for the Chicago Bears. Yes, he was hired to turn the team around and win games. However, the primary reason was fixing Caleb Williams. The former #1 overall pick is the most talented quarterback the...
The Chicago Bears missed safety Jaquan Brisker last season. There is no denying that. His versatility, leadership, and physical presence were what made the defense so effective in 2023. Things started the same way last season. However, things took an ugly turn in week five when a nasty collision...
They've been saying for weeks that Ben Johnson doesn't mess around when it comes to practice. The new Chicago Bears head coach takes it as seriously as anybody who has held that job in the last two decades. Players quickly discovered what happens when they make mistakes or don't do precisely as...
Ozzy Trapilo isn't being eased into anything. The 2nd round pick from Boston College has a green light to chase a starting job on the offensive line. That tells you how much the Chicago Bears trust him to earn it. Head coach Ben Johnson has repeatedly reiterated that his polish level is rare for a...
