Morning news Colston on the field Burden at camp but not on the field Shemar Turner twisted his angle, to the locker room. Zak Fraizer missing due to personal reasons. JJ is in the building rehabing the hamstring injury

I also wanted Vrabel, and I think he will do just fine, but not the offensive mind of BJ and the agressiveness of DA. Poles hit HRs on these hires. Of course no games played yet but but being accountable in the first practice is proof they aint playing around. The sooner players know its not the softcore Flus, the sooner the build up starts. Humans are creatures of habit and they have new habits to learn.

An exculsive interview, that explains JJ and Burden injuries to a point

and no one held out for a better contract LOL Everything I wanted from Vrabel I'm seeing with Bj and DA. And there is a lot that Vrabel cant do that these guys can too. Cant wait to see it on grass.

💯 It's coaching 101. Nobody is bigger than the mission. BJ wants excellence on execution.

Good. Tear them down and build them back up. Those of us who went through basic military training know what that feels like. Although the pay was quite a bit different.

Waddle was at practice today and echoed some of the expectation of excellence. He personally saw BJ chew Caleb's ass in front of the starting offense. He says he hasn't seen that type of command since Lovie. Of course, he said Lovie had his own way with established vets like Olin and Url to keep everyone in line. He also commented on the leadership of Grady Jarrett, saying he did burpees when other players were being punished. Love it!

If he was incorrect or not knowing his assignments then it’sa good message. If it’s just bottom of the roster churn nobody cares.

Taverious Moore was just released after the first practice. Now that's accountability

Why BJ is going to be a great coach, GET IT RIGHT motto and has the offensive mind of a Shanahan or McVay. I know we have to see the finish product but his attitude shows everyday and its great.

Definitely balls out for the best edge we can get. They are ridiculous to pay these days. Gotta come from the draft!

So I guess today the first string offense didnt line up correctly, Johnson told them to do it again and it still wasnt right so he sent all the starters off the field. We havent had someone like this in a long time. So great to see. I was worried Johnson wouldnt be enough of a hardass back when i wanted Mike Vrabel. Now I wouldnt trade Johnson for Vrabel for ANYTHING. So glad to see accountability. Finally.

for sure. I think we still need a top notch Edge player, but no roster is ever perfect or complete. We will probably draft that guy next year.

I am so happy that now we get to see what everything done this year looks like on the playing field. Speculation, projections doesnt matter anymore. I think our first preseason game is 3 weeks away. I am overly optimistic on the results of Poles and BJ.

I agree with most of this. Generally, if you can get it from the front four, it makes the rest better. Until we see it from the front we won't be as effective as it weakens the secondary efforts.

I have concerns, but until games are played, I'm hoping it all works out with DA. DA has a history of blitzing SS, NB, LBers, corner blitz, I will have optimism also and dont care if all of it comes from the front 4. What ever it takes to make it work, Im all in on.

You forgot to mention how those Superbowl teams got their sacks. Front four. For us to generate pressure, we had to blitz at a higher rate than the defense was built for. The result was a regression from the previous year. Do I see a stronger DL? Yes. Do I see it translate to pass rush with the front four? Maybe. While I enjoy the optimism, I'm gonna keep it real until I see it.

Most fans and me are concerned about the pass rush and that we do not have enough fire power to be effective. Last year we had 40 sacks, had Billings and Sweat not had injury concerns we would probably had 4 to 8 more. The two SB teams had 39 and 41 and they obviously made it to the SB. We now have a coach , DA, they is much more agressive in attacking the offense. Just by coaching changes we will have an uptick in sacks. We added Dayo, Jarret, Turner. Sweat and Billings are healthy, we should see progression from Dexter, Booker and Dom Robinson. I think the concern of the DL is a little overblown and we will be fine as long as everyone stays healthy. Of course I always want more but I think we are okay.

Local beatwriters whining because Poles didnt give more information and only had a 19 minute press conf. David Haugh is the biggest crybaby on the beat.

This video gives some information on Bears camp and it solely the opinion of the creators.

And not helping opponents know where to hit you during the season As much as we want more info as fans, I like that the team doesn't officially give out info they don't have to. I'm wondering if we will see Dexter and/or Turner play some DE. I wonder if Amagadje will end up depth at OG, or play there in a couple years. I wonder if Burden will play some HB, and jet sweep slot guy like Coradelle Patterson I wonder if Kyler Gordon might play some safety and the Bears have kept a pretty good lid on all those speculations, each of which I've read in various articles. Not saying any or all of them are true, but the Bears sure didnt confirm or deny any of that, so I agree they are being informationally disciplined.

Yes. And to Stinger's point; Poles usually doesn't divulge anything unless he has to or wants to. Respecting his vet's privacy.

Seems odd that there is not more information about that. Did anyone listen the Grady Jarrett today? A reporter asked him that because of his age if he will start slow and ramp up to the season. (Hell no, its balls to the wall every play and everyday. That's what makes him a good player, never slow down. (a generalization not word for word)

something to do with his leg apparently?
