In the past few seasons of Chicago Bears football, the team seemed to lack intensity at times under former head coach Matt Eberflus. The offense would often fail to click, and the defense would often seem to lack aggressiveness.

Players are excited to come play for new Bears head coach Ben Johnson, we learned as we met the five acquisitions at Halas Hall.

The coach has a more well-rounded roster around which to craft his playbook in the coming months. That’s no guarantee of success, but it’s a change at Halas Hall.
