The Chicago Bears know that fixing the offensive line is the priority going into this off-season. Allowing 67 sacks and ranking 28th in rushing is unacceptable. This would require a two-pronged approach. One would involve finding better talent, which GM Ryan Poles undoubtedly plans to do in March...
Last off-season, GM Ryan Poles focused on making sure the Chicago Bears worked out a contract extension with star cornerback Jaylon Johnson. It took longer than anticipated, but the finish line was eventually reached. Johnson was locked up on a new four-year deal. This off-season is somewhat of a...
One thing that became clear during his long run in the NFL is that Dennis Allen has a good eye for edge rushers. He was with the Broncos and Raiders when they drafted Von Miller and Khalil Mack, respectively. Then, in New Orleans, he played a key role in the drafting of Trey Hendrickson. One can...
Yesterday, the news broke that the Chicago Bears were hiring veteran defensive assistant Bill Johnson to their new staff. It was assumed the 69-year-old would be taking over the defensive line from the departing Travis Smith since that has been his position of expertise for the past 40 years. He...
Ryan Poles is like any other general manager in that he has certain quirks about him that make up his approach to the draft. In this case, he seems to prefer taking chances on small school offensive linemen. It was true in 2022 when he took Braxton Jones (Southern Utah), Zachary Thomas (San Diego...
Almost every assistant hired by new head coach Ben Johnson was met with intrigue from Chicago Bears fans, with the exception of one. The reports that Press Taylor, Jacksonville's former offensive coordinator, was taking over as passing game coordinator didn't receive positive vibes. Much of this...
Ben Johnson has been taking a methodical approach to building his coaching staff. Nothing about the process over the past week has felt rushed. Usually, head coaches want their staff put together as quickly as possible, but not Johnson. He wants to make sure he finds the right people. After careful...
Probably the biggest addition new head coach Ben Johnson made to the Chicago Bears staff was his defensive coordinator, Dennis Allen. The man brings plenty of pedigree with him as a two-time former head coach who has produced five top-10 defenses since 2011. His best work came in New Orleans, where...
People have tried to figure out why Ryan Poles has failed to build the Chicago Bears offensive line so spectacularly over the past three years. It was supposed to be his area of expertise. He played offensive line in college, so one would think he'd have a good eye for talent in that area. Yet he...
After bragging about culture for three years with Matt Eberflus, it became evident the former Chicago Bears head coach didn't have the personality to hold a locker room together. Much of that came from his constant inability to handle end-of-game situations, constantly costing his team victories....
Ryan Poles has drafted nine players from the Senior Bowl over his first three seasons in charge of the Chicago Bears. He values the event as a way to identify quality talent, which is what led him to Darnell Wright and Tyrique Stevenson. It is reasonable to assume he'll dip into that pool again for...
The past week has seen Ben Johnson methodically piece together his coaching staff. He's got all three coordinators in place, retaining Richard Hightower on special teams, adding Declan Doyler for the offensive, and Dennis Allen for the defense. J.T. Barrett (quarterbacks), Antwaan Randle El (wide...
