The Bears offense is struggling, Ben Johnson is angry, and it’s all awesome. Here’s,

We are just a couple of days into training camp, and the takes are flying.

 

We’ve seen some fans already concerned about how Caleb Williams and the offense look. Make no mistake about it, so far, the offense is struggling.

 

I absolutely love it. Here’s why.

 

This Chicago Bears offensive roster is largely a group that was here last year. There are three new offensive linemen, a new tight end, and a new WR3. Other than that, the core group of guys is the same group that was here last year.

 

We haven’t heard too many negatives about the offensive line at this point, and why should we? The pads aren’t on yet, and there’s not too much to screw up at this point
