Over the past three months, a new-look Chicago Bears defense has been building a competitive edge. 'Guys want to go and get after it. And the energy keeps rising.' But first the Bears have to get fully healthy.
Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis is defended by the Colts' Chris Lammons on Aug. 17, 2023, in Westfield, Ind.
“I just feel like the threshold keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger,” Gordon said. “We’ve got a lot of energy, a lot of loud mouths on our team. Guys want to go and get after it. And the energy keeps rising the closer we get toward the season.” Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards and defensive end Rasheem Green chase Titans running back Tyjae Spears in the first quarter of a preseason game Saturday at Soldier Field.
And yes, defensive end DeMarcus Walker was in full pads Thursday. But he didn’t do much and admitted after practice that his urge to get back into action is driving him nuts. “We’re really looking at individual techniques right now, honestly,” Eberflus said Thursday night. “Because you don’t have the jell or the continuity yet.”
Until then, and until the Bears get a handful of regular-season games of consequence behind them, there will be a significant amount of guesswork needed to figure out just how much of this preseason bark will come with a nasty bite.
