Ben Johnson and his coaching staff of the Chicago bear do not go on vacation this week.
Goodbye a week is the necessary respite for the players. For trainers, this is an important week. After the training camp this summer, Johnson pointed to September as an opportunity to see what his team is. The bears found out what they do well and that they do not do well in the first four games.
5th week, while it makes it possible to make adjustments.
“For us, as staff, we will feel good after the four games of who we are, what we do well and what we can plunge into our teeth,” said Johnson, “are we wanting to plunge a little in certain places, whether it is controlled by staff or schematics that can make us better.”
Bears are already planning some adjustments. The linear man Theo Benedet began the victory for 4 weeks over the “Las -Vegas raiders” and looks balanced stand in the starting compositionField
Johnson's violation remains under development. This is design. Bears built this thing from scratch. Johnson did not take with him his book “Lviv” from Detroit.
He said at his introductory press conference in January, that it was vital for the bears to build a crime, especially to comply with the skills of defender Caleb Williams, Last year's choice No. 1Field
“This is not just a reset of the previous play on the table and begins there,” Johnson said that day. “No, we break this thing into studs, and we are going to first deal with him, and then, and then with pieces around him.”
Williams is already playing better in some key areas. A good week can help crystallize what the bears want to make their schedule in the meat.
“The fact that this is a week of goodbye does not mean that this is a day off,” Williams said.
Here is the look at what worked well and what is not for Williams during the first quarter of the schedule.
1. Thinking as a subscriber, a subscriber.
The key tenet Johnson believes that the player and the defender should think the same.
“The quoterbek should be able to see the game through the eyes of the game field,” Johnson said on his first day at work.
It takes time, and it takes time together. Meetings one on one make it best easier.
“We had a few one on one with him,” Johnson said when he was asked last week about how this process was going. “We sit down, and I recognize him, he will recognize me how I work, how he works. We are also at the beginning of this. I think this is the best part of this, I feel as much about him as a player and direction in which he goes, that we will simply continue to become better. We are going to grow together. ”
Johnson was impressed by Williams' training. The quoterbek can ruin the game in practice on Wednesday, but he installed it until Thursday.
After the start of 0-2, Johnson called the team for her practicing habits. He was not pleased that he saw in front In Detroit in the 2nd weekField
Williams said that he and Johnson talked about how, if the team needed to join practice, the quoterbek can show this example.
“If this is pushing the guys if it is encouraging, if it can be just as it can be there for a team and attack, and it was a kind of point of view for me,” Williams said.
Williams and bears are locked in a match of 3 weeks with Dallas cowboys, and the results were obvious in 31-14 VictoryField
Kvoturbek and the coach are still learning to work with each other. These relationships take place from Monday to Saturday, not necessarily on Sundays.
They may not yet see the game through the same lens, but the hope that more time on the task will lead to this.
“His attention to the details is the main thing and understanding of the process and really hones the preparation process every week,” said the coach of the Quotheterbekov JT Barrett. “I think this is encouraging, and he is still working on it and is still trying to rely on it and improve it. When you have this type of preparation, and you intend in your work, it raises you for success on Sundays. ”
2. Regulation of their legs.
When the bears returned to work in the spring, Johnson gave his defenders the film Rams KB Matthew Stafford for training. In particular, he wanted them to study the work of Stafford.
“Very quiet legs,” said Tyson Bagent, about how Stafford, “bearish”. “You do not want to be unstable.”
Williams several times referred to Stafford when he was asked about his work his legs this season.
Johnson made a slight change in the offseason in this area. When Williams lines in a shotgun, he stands with his left foot forward. Last year, Williams began with his right foot forward in such formations.
This is a small adjustment. But in May, Johnson said that it was one of the philosophy, which he felt “quite strongly”. The right defender with his left foot is more or less already in a throwing position when he wants to quickly throw the ball.
“Many times, people, even when you (with your feet), are taking too much a step of Chita, and this can drop your rhythm,” the Bagent said. “With (left foot forward) it is easy, because you can just jump into it.”
With any queenerbek will make changes to his work, the whole thing is in repetition. It takes him time to feel comfortable with his new work – and Williams believes that his leg work was one of the reasons why his The accuracy was so bad During the 1st week, the loss of the Minnesotsky Vikings. When asked what he wants to improve after a beginner, Williams mentioned his feet.
Johnson said that when the work of the legs was good, William delivered an accurate throw. The coach is encouraged by the development that he sees even from the first week still.
“I see how he plays the game much more than what we had in the spring or during a training camp,” Johnson said. “He is trying to connect No. 1 in progress with the first hook, No. 2 with the second cloth, and we are trying to quit much more often than, perhaps, we were initially. I see that this is happening. “
Williams noted after the raider’s game that he wants to get more from a quick -through game that is tied to this approach of his left leg. So far it was not his bread with butter.
According to NFL PRO, the expected Williams glasses are added to swimming passes (2.5 seconds or less), they take 32th place among 33 qualified quoters, ahead of Joe Flako Clivend Braunes.
“People do not understand that the short yard is or the fast completion and the like, it is also the same as those deeper routes,” Williams said. “This is a lot of time. Reading, in fact, a little faster. But (this) time. Work for the legs and all this. “
Until now, this season, Williams holds the ball longer than each NFL defender, with the exception of Justin Fields “New York Jets”.
3. Communication with Rome Odunze and DJ Moore.
Odunze was blown up by the defender of Cowboes Diggs – and Diggs lost his support for a moment. It was enough time for Odunze to get past him. Odunze threw his hand into the air and adjusted his route, breaking in the final zone.
Johnson called this the game of the “mailbox”, and the receiver threw his hand like a small red flag on the side of the suburban mailbox.
Williams looked left and saw that he was developing. He allowed this to break it off, and this ended with a 35-fair landing. Williams missed a similar “mailbox” in the first week, when DJ Moore raised his hand and adjusted his route. At this time, Williams laid out too much air under his throw into Moore, and this was not noted.
“I just didn’t find it on one page,” Williams said about the throw of the 1st week in Moore.
Not so against cowboys.
Bagent noted that the lost aspect of landing with Odunze was that Williams began the game, looking to his left. He watched Odunze defeated the defender. In a similar attempt by the “mailbox” on Moore in the first week, Williams looked in another place before looking up and see how Moore opens deep down the field.
Sometimes stars should align subtle ways to apply these opportunities.
“This is just a question of how Caleb wanted to work in Rome,” the bliss said. “Big comfort, (Odunze) played at a high level.”
The connection between Williams and Odunze was obvious during the camp in August, and this led to a regular season. Odunze leads bears with 20 doses for 296 yards and five landings. He converted the first 16 fall in the air, twice as much as any of the other goals of the team.
“I think (this is) just time for the task,” said Game Masting Game Press Press Taylor coordinator. “You see a connection, just an understanding of how he will pass a certain route, the depth that he will have. How he likes a certain throw. ”
Odunze entered in the 5th week the second in the NFL with five landings received for only Amon-Ra-Sen-Braun. Williams is connected by the third in the league with eight passes of landing for Lamar Jackson and Jared Goff.
Until now, it was a more quiet beginning for Moore, one of the highest paid NFL receivers. Moore has 16 catches for 173 yards and one landing. Its target indicator of 16.9% of the aisles is at a pace to become its lowest in his career, or with Carolina's panthers, or with bears.
The use of Moore in this attack will be something that you need to see during the season. Moore said that Williams took responsibility for the crime and builds mutual understanding with his goals.
“It was a steady growth, and he was at the top of us to be better to raise our game so that he could raise it,” Moore said.
