HC John Fox and GM Ryan Pace have made a deliberate, multi-faceted effort to upgrade the Bears’ 53-man roster. While targeting players that have been productive and have good measurables, they also equally emphasize the intangible aspects to the game.
Fox acknowledged that “[we’re] always trying to upgrade [our] football team, whether it’s the talent level, or whether it’s a mindset or work ethic, some of those things that are important in the game football.”
One central, intangible component involves attitude—a mindset toward the game of football and a work ethic to practice and play hard.
