BOURBONNAIS – Between the arrival of head coach Matt Nagy and his staff, a stable of new pass catchers and fans' seeming boundless enthusiasm for the new offense, one could almost be lulled into believing the Bears already had a Super Bowl defense locked and loaded waiting for the offense to catch up.
Other than some occasional concern about the pass rush after the departure of Pernell McPhee, Willie Young and Lamar Houston – and whether or not 2016 first-round pick Leonard Floyd will ever be healthy enough to lead it – even the Bears themselves seem awfully confident in their ability to stonewall opponents.
