CB Jaylon Johnson with a mic drop moment.
“I’m done buying into the hype…everything that we got in this locker room-it sounds good, it seems good., but at the end of the day, none of that matters, what matters is what we’re going to do this weekend.”
#Bears
DC Eric Washington told us that Montez Sweat addressed the offensive line about how he sees protection concepts. “I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that in my 17 years.”
#Bears
will be back in full pads Sunday. I think Caleb Williams is poised to make a jump this week. I saw it Saturday. His vision and release looked terrific.
#Bears
DJ Moore on if Caleb Williams has surprised him
“Na, he didn’t surprise me. I mean, when you’re the number 1 overall pick, you better go out there & make some sh…make something shake…I’m about to curse…and he went out there and exceeded everything we have set for him.”
#Bears
day 1 of camp was a fairly light day.
**Lot of short, decisive completions from Caleb Williams in 11 on 11. Also Took a shot at DJ Moore in the endzone from 15 yards out and missed. He also had 1 batted in the air, then caught it, and ran to the sideline.
I think the
#Bears
playing starters on Saturday is another step in the right direction of this organization doing things differently. Never mind what other teams do or how you’ve done things in the past. That has never worked for the Bears..
We are told that new
#Bears
Darrell Taylor and Chris Williams passed their physicals. Bears get Williams and a 2025 7th rounder. Cleveland gets 2025 6th rounder from Miami.
Seems like the plan in practice for today for
#Bears
has been Keenan Allen. He’s been targeted a ton today, and has 3 td grabs.Caleb Williams has also been intercepted twice by Kyler Gordon. One in the End zone. The other was deflected.
#Bears
Sunday: Caleb Williams looked sharp in 7 on 7. 35 yard TD pass DJ Moore stride for stride. Williams also used Keenan Allen for short sideline passes and DeAndre Swift down field.
#Bears
Sunday. 2 minute drill. (Starting on their own 10) Caleb Williams hit Keenan Allen for a 1st down on 3rd and 10 to keep the drive alive, but a couple plays later, Tyrique Stevenson picked Williams. Best touch from Caleb came in 7 on 7 on a nice deep ball to Tyler Scott.
#Bears
Thought the
#1
offense looked decent in first 2 min. Drill, but fizzled in the 2nd.
*Bears have about 8 guys trying out for punt return BUT Odunze was the guy in a live punt situation.
*Ryan Bates at C today.
*Braxton Jones practiced more
* 3 offensive penalties
More
#Bears
Friday.
*Gervon Dexter looked GOOD.
TJ Edwards had an effective blitz on Caleb.
Adrian Colbert picked Tyson Bagent.
Tory Taylor had a sick punt inside the 10.
Kyler Gordon and Noah Sewell out.
#Bears
worked indoors today. The offensive operation was better today.
*Coleman Shelton played center, while Ryan Bates played RG. No Nate Davis.
*Kyler Gordon and Travis Homer both out today.
*Dante Pettis was deep on punts.
*Tyrique Stevenson standing out in this camp.
#Bears
HC Matt Eberflus says that Douglas Coleman Jr. was released from the hospital and has flown back to Chicago. Eberflus says he is walking around and in good spirits. Coleman was taken off the field in Kansas City on a stretcher and what seemed like a frightening injury.
DJ Moore and the Bears reached agreement on a four-year, $110 million extension that includes $82.6M guaranteed. The deal was negotiated by Drew Rosenhaus, Jason Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey.
Moore now has had the first 10 years of his career years guaranteed, a first in NFL
Ryan Bates played center for the
#Bears
on day 1 of camp. Everting else standard from left to right. Braxton Jones, Teven Jenkins, Bates, Nate Davis, Darnell Wright.
#Bears
Saturday (no pads) notes.
*Caleb Williams looked sharp.
*Darnell right and Nate Davis were out, so we saw Bill Murray at RG and Matt Prior at RT. Ryan Bates center.
*Rome Odunze dropped a TD.
*Keenan Allen caught a TD.
*Gregg Stroman Jr. looks terrific.
#Bears
Monday. We had obstructed view for most of practice today. In 2 min, Caleb Williams converted with DJ Moore on a 4th & 3 to go along with a couple 1st down passes to Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze. Also today, Good dose of Roschon running outside. Ryan Bates played center
Leading the way out here on this, the first
#Bears
Wednesday of game week and our first open locker room, will be Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, and Matt Eberflus at the podium.
The
#Bears
have named Caleb Williams as a team captain. Here are the others: DJ Moore, Jaylon Johnson, TJ Edwards, Cole Kmet, Tremaine Edmonds, Kevin Byard, Marcedes Lewis.
#Bears
Saturday. Nice back to back passes by Caleb Williams. First one about 15 yards up the middle to DJ Moore. Second was about 20 yards to the back corner of the endzone to Keenan Allen.
11 on 11 not quite as sharp for the offense. Terell Smith had a nice PBU of Rome Odunze down field. Caleb Williams had an over throw at 1 point and let out a booming yell. Caleb did have a nice side arm pass after eluding pressure.
Light practice for the
#Bears
today.
*Montez Sweat didn’t practice. No Nate Davis. Tyrique Stevenson & Kyler Gordon no go.
*Gervon Dexter, Zacch Pickens, Khalid Kareem batted down Caleb passes.
*Coleman Shelton & Ryan Bates center & RG.
*DJ Moore to meet the media.
Rome Odunze on if the way the end zone was lined messed him up on near TD
“If I’m being honest, it definitely was in my peripheral. I saw the back line & figured I was in by a comfortable margin. But that’s something you can’t have. You have to be aware of the double lines.”
#Bears
Wednesday. After blowing up a 3rd and 7 in 2-minute, Demarcus Walker could heard yelling, “No F’ing with me!” Then ripped his helmet off & slammed it to the turf for punctuation and a penalty. But that was the type of day it was. Defense shined, and the offense was off.
Rough start for the
#Bears
offense in 11 on 11 as they had back to back fall starts. Then TJ Edwards came on a blitz, and Caleb Williams got rid of it to Gerald Everett for a first down, followed by a nice sideline pass to Rome Odunze.
#Bears
just wrapped up their longest practice of training camp. 2.5 hours-plus. Trying day for offense. Penalties galore. We’ll try and get some answers and then I’ll report back on

HC Matt Eberflus asked how he’s improved:
“It’s learning process, isn’t it? With every position you have, you just get better. Experience and exposure teaches you a lot.”

#Bears
Sunday. Defense wins the 2-minute drill. TJ Edwards PBU. Offense not looking great today with a make shift OLine missing Teven Jenkins, Darnell Wright and Nate Davis.
#Bears
Thu: Jaylon Jones and Elijah Hicks had picks of Caleb Williams.
*Williams hit Cole Kmet for a first down on a 3rd and 10 in 2-min. Also 15 yard play to Rome Odunze in 11 on 11.
*Much of the Bears secondary still out. Tyler Gordon,Tyreek Stevenson, Jaquan brisker.
Most effective for the
#Bears
offense today was the short passing game. Bears defensive penetration took away a lot of the downfield stuff for Caleb Williams. Williams is obviously going to see a ton of pressure as a rookie, so we get to see how he copes early.
More on
#Bears
Sunday: the lefty Coleman Shelton played center today, while Larry Borom played left tackle as Braxton jones was present, but taking it easy.
Bears def has been bringing heat. TJ Edwards blitzed Caleb Williams forcing him to fling one just short to Keenan Allen. Gervon Dexter and DeMarcus Walker breaking through as well.
Once upon a time ago, the
#Bears
were interested in hiring Nick Saban as their head coach. That was on Jerry Angelo’s watch. Saban was out here in Lake Forest taking in practice by way of a Matt Eberflus invite.
