Winning the offseason....seen it before, doesn't impress. Gotta
make it translate to the field.....that's been the challenging
part.

One noticeable switch for Williams under Johnson is the
placement of his feet. Williams’ left foot is now forward.
“I’ve done it a number of ways in my time in the league, and
really over the last few years, I’ve kind of gravitated towards
that. It’s something that I feel pretty strongly about,” Johnson
said. “He and I talked about it, the reasons why we want to do
it. I think it helps out certainly with the quick game from the
gun, and then helps us being a little bit better at a throwing
posture for a lot of the other things that we’re asking him to
do.”
Just for fun, I looked up some highlights.
Brady, Rodgers, Burrow - Left foot forward
Allen and Mahomes - Right foot forward

@BradBiggs
#Bears are expected to host the #Dolphins and #Bills for joint
practices in advance of home preseason games. Details for those
practices TBD.

Perhaps some limited footage of the Bears in the Bills' edition
of Hard Knocks.

It’s a little concerning that Braxton Jones can’t participate in
OTA’s yet. Loveland also out recovering from his surgery and
Burden still out from his last OTA injury.
I’m wondering if there’s any FA . Who can start the season for
Jones until he’s ready.

Chicago Bears QB Caleb Williams has gotten a lot of attention
for being out on the team’s old regime, but every indication
over the past four months has been that he’s in on the new one.
And I’d say that with this very important caveat: It’s pretty
easy for a quarterback to buy in on a first-year coach with an
offensive background who was hired, at least in part, to get his
own career off the ground. No one’s lost a game. Or thrown a
pick. Or had a plan come undone. That said, from Day 1,
Williams’s buy-in on Ben Johnson has been high.
The 23-year-old was there, alongside DJ Moore and Rome Odunze,
for the introductory press conference, which is a small, but
notable, thing for a guy to do coming off his rookie year. That,
in turn, gave the two their first chance to sit down and talk
face-to-face. And it also showed that Williams had an
understanding of the responsibility that would come with his
place as the Bears’ franchise quarterback, which would be
Johnson’s starting point anyway. Williams was around the
building a lot from that point forward, which gave Johnson,
offensive coordinator Declan Doyle and QBs coach J.T. Barrett a
shot to organically build their relationship. That facilitated
some hard truths to be doled out at the start of the offseason
program in April.
There were two areas where the coaches wanted improvement from
Williams. Both related to how he carried himself as the
quarterback, based on what the 2024 season showed. One was body
language. The other was presnap procedure. On the former, while
the coaches understood the beating he took, they showed film to
emphasize how he’d been slow to pull himself up off the ground.
It was a long year. People got fired in-season. And in adverse
circumstances, the staff explained, having a quarterback who was
rolling with the punches would go a long way. On the latter,
there was a smattering of small things—like on the first play of
one game, he turned to his left, thinking the motion was coming,
when it was actually coming from the right—that needed to be
cleaned up.
To Williams’s credit, he welcomed every piece of criticism in an
effort to get better. Which allowed the staff to move quickly to
a lot of Lions tape, to give Williams an idea of what Johnson
would be bringing from Detroit with him, and Matthew Stafford
film, to bring some visuals to what they’d try to work him
toward technique and fundamentals-wise. Progress, thus far, has
been steady, and Williams is working at it. The Bears adding
Case Keenum to the quarterback room was, indeed, intentional,
and Williams has taken advantage of it, in using Keenum almost
as another coach after hours (to work around the CBA-mandated
limits on what the coaches can actually do with the players at
this point in the calendar). And, on the field, Williams has
been good for at least one “did he really do that?” throw every
day.
So, at this point, it’s fair to say things are as good as they
could be. Which, to be sure, is better than they were five or
six months ago.

@AdamHoge
Yesterday @thecarm asked Ben Johnson for some players who have
stood out in the offseason program. Ben asked for a day to think
about it and then came back today with two names on offense and
defense:
DE Dominique Robinson
LB Ruben Hyppolite
TE Joel Wilson
RB Kyle Monangai

Fun final day at Bears minicamp: we saw offensive linemen
catching passes, WRs, TEs, and RBs throwing passes and the QBs
as receivers.

I keep seeing little tid bits of "Caleb has no excuses now". I
really don't think he played all that bad, all things
considered. The run game never really hit a stride, as a matter
a fact, it took Swift several games before he started looking
like an NFL starter. Coaching staff was horrendous, and that may
be too generous. At times the O line was more of a sieve than a
screen door.. Kmet for some reason wasn't utilized. Playing the
Redskins he brought the team back only to have a coaching
blunder (along with Stevens sh!t show) lose the game. The
Detroit game was another game that was very winnable. Keenan
Allen who at one time was considered one of the better receivers
in the league (at times) couldn't catch a simple pass. That's
just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's much more...
