LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Montez Sweat paused as he searched for the right word to describe his new defensive coordinator. Despite having known Dennis Allen for a couple of weeks as the Chicago Bears churned through OTAs this spring, the impression that Allen left on Sweat could already be felt.
"He's a very complex individual," the edge rusher said.
When asked to clarify his characterization of Allen and the type of identity the Bears defense hopes to create after their 10-game losing streak in 2024, Sweat pointed to the challenges of learning a variety of new fronts and coverages.
