On the eve of the Bears’ last OTA practice — the team breaks for summer after Wednesday’s session — Johnson sounded like he’d accomplished just that.
“We’ve loaded him up,” the head coach said Tuesday at Halas Hall. “We’ve tried a number of different things: long play calls, multiple plays at the line, tempo. We’ve dabbled here, there and everywhere really throughout the springtime and some come a little bit more natural than others for him. But I do think we’ve seen him get better in really all facets.”
The next step: for Johnson to gather the Bears’ offensive staff and decide what to emphasize during training camp, which starts in late July, and what to tamp down.
