The Bears have gone all-in on new coach Ben Johnson and his offensive scheme, using their top three draft picks to give him what he needs, but they’ve got a lot riding on defensive coordinator Dennis Allen as well.
Allen inherited a defense that was mostly intact from last season, when the Bears skidded at the end and finished 13th in points allowed, 27th in yards allowed and were far from fearsome in their pass rushing or run stopping.
