Ben Johnson wanted to put together a star-studded coaching staff when he took over the Chicago Bears in January. He refused to let his ego dictate the hires. This wouldn't be a case of a guy simply hiring his buddies and people he knows. He wanted proven guys. It started with bringing Al Harris...
People weren't convinced when told Ozzy Trapilo was a legitimate option for the Chicago Bears at left tackle. They had some good reasons to think that. For one, the Boston College standout is a 2nd round pick. Expecting such players to start immediately at such a crucial position is unlikely....
One of the most alarming things heard about the previous Chicago Bears coaching staff was their lackadaisical attitude. There were frequent complaints about the lack of accountability. Matt Eberflus had a nasty tendency to let things slide too often, not staying on top of players when they started...
The Chicago Bears have won championships mostly because the men in charge had a knack for identifying great talent. It was true of George Halas during his decades running the team, and again with Jim Finks in the 1970s and early 1980s. In the 40 years since then, the organization hasn't really...
One thing you learn quickly about competitors? They know how to hold a grudge. That is especially true in professional sports. That iconic Chicago Bears 73-0 rout of the Washington Redskins in the 1940 NFL championship was spurred by a burning desire for revenge. It was fueled by the Redskins owner...
The popular saying among experts is that it's impossible to evaluate offensive linemen in the spring and summer. This is because they don't have pads on, and there is no way to get a proper grasp of blockers without actually being able to block people. However, history shows that this isn't the...
The Chicago Bears have a long, tortured history on offense in the NFL. Given how difficult they make it seem every year, it might as well be quantum physics. Only two times since the Clinton administration have they managed to field a top-10 unit (1995 and 2013). Across that same time span, they...
The Chicago Bears are about to start their work for the upcoming 2025 season. Head coach Ben Johnson will give players their first taste of what's to come. It begins with rookie minicamps on May 9th. All the expected names will be on hand. Their eight draft choices, led by tight end Colston...
We've heard about the Chicago Bears' selection of Colston Loveland for two weeks now. Everybody has weighed in, from anonymous scouts and executives to national draft experts and the Bears brass themselves. One final group that hasn't had their voices heard at this point is the ones who witnessed...
The Pope has been a staple of the Christian religion since the first century AD. Saint Peter was the first. Since then, there have been 266 Popes. In that time, none have come from the continent of North America. That changed for the first time in history when the Catholic cardinals elected Robert...
Over the past few years, the Chicago Bears' contract negotiating process has felt overly sluggish. That was particularly noticeable after the draft, when it took several weeks for them to secure all of their picks. Last year, it took until July 17th to get Caleb Williams signed to his rookie deal....
The Chicago Bears have received plenty of praise for their work over the past two months upgrading the roster. GM Ryan Polesa and head coach Ben Johnson have assembled a roster loaded with promising young talent, particularly on offense. Among the group are four 1st round picks (Caleb Williams,...
