The Bears really would prefer not to talk about Matt Eberflus anymore.
It was an era of underachievement and mismanagement they’d love to forget. Even the defense, Eberflus’ specialty, wasn’t as good as it should’ve been and never cracked the top 10.
But when they talk about what new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is doing, they keep coming back to the same word: aggressive. They also talk about being physical and even a little nasty. And while every defensive-minded coach uses those words, it seems to be landing differently under Allen.
