Caleb Williams did not throw a single interception on 199 passing attempts on 3rd and 4th down while at USC.

Players on expiring contracts that Ryan Poles has to make a decision on THIS YEAR, or they hit free agency:
Teven Jenkins
Keenan Allen
Khalil Herbert
Jack Sanborn
Larry Borom
Khari Blasingame
Patrick Scales
Coleman Shelton
Not all of these guys will be back in 2025. HUGE season
Cole Kmet will be a MONSTER! From 2021 to 2023, he hasn't missed ONE game! He's started 60 out of 67 games since being in the league.
His career: 2,118 Rec Yards, 211 catches, 15 TDs, & 104 1st downs.
I expect he finally breaks 10 REC TDs this year!
Bears just broke the huddle and are headed back to the locker room. Caleb Williams ran over to the sideline to hug his dad, Carl, who is wearing a No. 18 Bears orange alternate jersey.
Ryan Bates got 100% of the snaps with the starters at center at yesterdayโs practice.
Ryan Bates 2022 with Bills as starter
3 penalties
1 sack allowed
4 hits allowed
Here is him against Billings last year in preseason.
Cole Kmet is going to be an unsung hero in the offense this year.

I believe he will take the next step and become a Top 5 TE this year.

This secondary will make OC's and passing game coordinators double down on studying and trying to figure out how to throw against them.

๐จ๐จ BREAKING NEWS ๐จ๐จ
DJ MOORE IS HERE TO STAY!!
He has signed a 4-Year extension worth $110mil, with guaranteed money of $82.6mil.
DJ is now just the 7th highest paid WR and is with the Bears through 2029.
This is what aura looks like.
The entirety of Soldier Field being as loud as they can for Caleb scoring a TD in preseason.
The fanbase is ready! Chicago already has Caleb's back and Caleb, who by the sound of it, is ready to carry Chicago on his.

TJ Edwards was a Bears fan growing up so to see him ball out for the team he loves is so awesome to see! Such a steal by Ryan Poles.
Played & started all 17 games
3 INT's
2.5 sacks
155 tot tack
8 TFL & QB hits
Expectation: 150 tack, 3 sacks, 4 INT.
Caleb needs to throw for about 236 yards per game to reach that 4k passing yards mark.
With DJM, Keenan, Rome, Kmet, Swift, Herbert, and Everett at his disposal, this year could be the year Caleb breaks that never having a 4k passer curse! ๐ปโฌ๏ธ
Bears safety Douglas Coleman has left the hospital this morning and is in good spirits, walking around and smiling, according to Matt Eberflus. Good news for the Safety from Texas Tech. ๐๐ฝ
Jaylon Johnson Stats in 2023:

If a QB did nothing but spike the ball into the ground on every play of the game, Their Passer Rating would be 39.6โฆ
In honor of
#DaBears
first practice, we remade one of our favorite Chicago Bears graphics from a few years ago.
Shoutout to the
@ChicagoBears
Creative Team for the idea.๐ปโฌ๏ธ
Caleb Williams is the โRookie QBโ in the matchup, but Will Levis has a lot to prove himself.
In his rookie year he only played 9 games, throwing for 1,808 yards, 8 TDs & 4 ints
Both teams LOADED UP around their young QBs. Week 1 could be very interesting ๐
The Bears have now put up 20+ points in all four preseason games.
It's been a long time coming to even see that happening in preseason.
Poles said it would take three years to get this team where it was needed. It's been 3 years, let's get cooking Bears!
Bears players that will be playing on expiring deals in 2024:
WR Keenan Allen
RG Teven Jenkins
RB Khalil Herbert
LB Jack Sanborn
Who do you want to see the Bears bring back beyond this season?
Flus is going to start taking reps away.
He did it with Stevenson last year when Stevenson wasn't hustling to the huddle, ball & play. Flus doesn't mess around. Either give it your all or you're out of here.

Gerald Everett, let's dive into his career:
7 year NFL veteran
2,833 Rec Yards
19 Rec TD's
148 1st downs
Player role: be the RZ threat & a 3rd & long target for Caleb to throw to when needed.
Expectation: 3 TD's with 300 yards receiving.
Get to know: Eric Washington - Bears DC
He started his career with the Bears in 2008.
Became DC for CAR in 2018-2019. In 2019 his squad was 2nd in the league in sacks (53)
Was BUF asst HC/DL coach in 2023. BUF was 4th in sacks, 4th in PTS allowed & 6th in TDs allowed in 2023.
Camp recap:
Defense is ๐ฅ
Tyler Scott is ๐ฅ
Kyler Gordon still sidelined๐งโโ๏ธ
OL was ๐
Gervon was ๐ฅ
Wide receivers can catch!
Overall, defense won the day again & the offense still needs work. 1st day of pads though so there is rust to be shaken off.
Tomorrow's a new day. ๐ปโฌ๏ธ
Contracts aside*
We are so close to seeing this in training camp AND in the Preseason/Regular season! I am so pumped!!
TOMORROW THE ROOKIES REPORT TO TRAINING CAMP!
One name that you MUST keep in mind throughout training camp and into the season is Jack Sanborn.
He had a great play at practice today, as the Lake Zurich native continues to solidify himself as one of the key pieces on this Bears defense ๐ โผ๏ธ
Tremaine Edmunds had a really good year for us, at one point he admitted it was a slow start for him but honestly; it was kind of hard to tell.
113 tot tack
4 INT's
1 Def TD
7 PD's
1 FF
5 QB hits
Expectation: 5 sacks, 143 tackles.
Montez Sweat acknowledged that Gervon Dexter came in to camp with a great attitude and in shape. If he can take that next step, he could be an absolute monster. Hereโs footage of him last year during camp against Quinton Nelson.
1 week away from the start of the season, are we comfortable with the roster for the season?
Assuming Ryan Poles doesnโt make any trades and our 53 is set
Shane Waldrons career as OC in Seattle from 2021-2023:
Total passing yards: 12,264
Total rushing yards: 4,676
Total WR receiving yards: 7,823
Total TDs: 130
Total 1st downs: 965
Does
#Bears
Waldron posses the means to help Caleb and the offense ascend in 2024?
A REMINDER: Because people have been confused on the waiver order.
Just because we picked
#1
in the draft doesn't mean we're first on the waiver wire. That still belongs to the Panthers. We still remain 9th on the waiver wire in terms of picking up a waived player.
Ryan Bates got the start at center today. So the consistency of rotating centers to find the starter is still going on.
Day 1: Bates
Day 2: Shelton
Day 3: Bates
Day 4: Shelton
Day 5: Bates
Seems like for the first time in a while they're doing due diligence to find a starter.
From reports:
- Caleb is who we thought he was ๐ฅ
- Tyler Scott and Jack Sanborn had a day!
- Defense and Offense had a battle โ๏ธ
- Both sides of the ball were chattering!
- 2 minute drills could be better, defense was there today!
A.k.a - Bears are back!
Tyson Bagent - A.K.A:
Secret Bagent Man
Bagent007
Bagent-Mania
Bagent the Rap God

Is about to GRACE us with his presence tonight on the field!!
So ready to watch him play tonight!

๐ปโฌ๏ธ
"He's going to be a cancer"
"He has leadership issues"
"He's self centered & cocky"
"He has character issues"
"His raw emotions scare teams"
Yeah, okay. Caleb has shown that he has none of those concerning "red flags."
Just media beating the kid down.
Jaylon Johnson is over the preseason โPotentialโ Hype Talk.
Heโs heard it year after year, to still lose as a team.
Itโs time to actually preform on gamedays and WIN.
Lowkey excited to see what Austin Booker can do man.
In 2023 he had:
39 tackles with 34 of those being โstopsโ
37 pressures
26 qb hurries
2 QB hits
9 sacks
If he can pop off this Bears defense might be scaarrryyyyyyyy ๐น
Eberflus announces that any and all available starters are getting the nod in Buffalo!
Caleb, Rome, Keenan, Swift and a few others are going to grace the field and make their debuts as Chicago Bears ๐ฅ๐ฅ
What an exciting time to be a fan!
Bear-freaking-Down!! ๐ปโฌ๏ธ
In the midst of all the hype for the Offensive Weapons, heres your reminder that the Bears also have the ultimate weapon at PUNTER when a defense finds a way to stop our offense.
Bears are prime position to control field possession vs any team
Tory Taylor- 48.2 avg in 2023 ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Terell Smith in 2023:
41 tackles
81.4 passer rating when targeted
Top 10 CB against the run (PFF)
He will be the first CB off the bench and a factor on special teams. I believe he is a hell of a player with a lot of talent.
Rome Odunze in 2023: (College)
1649 Yards
15 Total Touchdowns
Led the Nation in recieving yards
One of the brightest prospects in the 2024 NFL Draft, Rome looks to show that he should not of been the 3rd WR Drafted
Cut day is looming, meaning Ryan Poles needs to figure out which guy he will carry as QB3 in 2024.
Who is YOUR preference after seeing them in action in preseason? โฌ๏ธโฌ๏ธ
Caleb Williams- โIโve had rough days, Iโm the toughest on myself, but having the understanding of progression is key, no time to have self-doubtโ
