There were calls for tougher coaching and sharper attention to detail coming out of Halas Hall throughout last season from the Bears’ backups to quarterback Caleb Williams and eventually general manager Ryan Poles. Williams practically begged for someone to come in and coach him hard after the seemingly passive, directionless approach of the previous staff.
Everyone got exactly what they asked for Wednesday in Ben Johnson’s first practice of training camp — especially the quarterback.
Williams had a rough morning that started with a pick-six to linebacker Tremaine Edmunds on the first snap of 11-on-11 work and later felt Johnson’s fire when the first-string offense couldn’t get lined up correctly in seven-on-seven drills.
