Now that we're into June, are the Chicago Bears ready to add an edge rusher? And which young players are standing out during organized team activities?
. Defensive backs coach Jon Hoke said Wednesday that he expects to see Johnson soon. Johnson missed portions of the voluntary offseason program a year ago.[Don't miss] Jaylon Johnson tells ESPN radio he expects to attend Chicago Bears OTAs next week — and why he missed the 1st 2 weeksGM Ryan Poles has said he would like to see Johnson around into the future. That indicates the team has a desire to sign Johnson to an extension. Does that mean it will happen? Certainly not.
We’re going to have to wait and see where negotiations go — and the Bears have plenty of time to work through that — to get a better feel for what the future holds. I doubt Poles wants to negotiate with a player who isn’t in the building. It won’t be a bad sign if there’s no deal before training camp. Let’s take a deep breath and let some stuff play out.
The Bears were bad across the line — left to right and right to left — which is why we’ve seen an investment in defensive tackles. They signed Andrew Billings, a run-stuffing nose tackle in free agency and then used three draft picks on tackles. A penetating tackle can produce sacks for edge defenders by forcing the quarterback to roll out. A penetrating tackle can disrupt the pass protection faster than anyone because it’s such a short path to the quarterback.
Mostly I am reading the 2023 Bears will have eight to nine wins. If you were to speculate, what are the chances they go over or under this? For me, I am on the over by two or three. Under is zero.Most shops have the over/under total for the Bears at 7½ wins and some have juiced that total to the over, meaning you would get a more favorable payout if you bet the under.
The roster is improved. There are still some holes on the roster, most notably at defensive end. We don’t know how a retooled offensive line and the young defensive tackles will perform. It’s anyone’s best guess how much better quarterback Justin Fields can be with a year of experience in the system and continuity with the coaching staff. It’s safe to peg the Bears between six and nine wins. Like I said, my projection was for an eight-win season.
