The Chicago Bears will hold their final organized team activities this week before the mandatory minicamp June 13-15 at Halas Hall. As the Bears grind through June, here’s the inside slant on three notable storylines.
The Chicago Bears will hold their final organized team activities this week before mandatory minicamp June 13-15 at Halas Hall. Coach Matt Eberflus is eager to continue pushing his team in the right direction with a new-look roster and a lengthy list of questions they need answered.‘This is about me’
“It was humbling, man,” Gipson said. “Having the success I had my second season, I thought it was all on the way up. But that’s not how it went.”“But I’m appreciative now,” he said. “It may sound crazy, but I am appreciative for how it went because it exposed some of the weaker spots in my game last year that I can dial in on now.”
Bears defensive end Trevis Gipson pressures Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa during the fourth quarter on Nov. 6 at Soldier Field. “I think in life, people get it messed up. You may view something as really small, but those things add up. And overall when you look back, those small things can dang near become a mountain. Now for me it’s about chipping away at the smallest things, knowing everything is important.”“It’s about doing the simple things better,” he said. “Trev learned our system last year. He had a good understanding of it. But also it’s about how we can execute it with speed and violence.
Bears defensive end Trevis Gipson prepares for a game against the Cowboys on Oct. 30, 2022, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. “This is about me,” he said. “Honestly, man, it’s about not letting anything affect me or throw me off course. It’s about me knowing what I want to do, what I need to do, what I plan to do and really just taking it from there.
“I don’t get too much time during the season to get with her,” Johnson said. “So for me, the offseason is a lot of time for her, to make that for family. I’m a big family guy for sure. Being a young dad just trying to be present in my daughter’s life.”Fair enough. That was a straightforward and understandable explanation with Johnson also dismissing any speculation that his extended absence might have been tied into desires for a contract extension.
“I want the guys to be out there because I do feel that we bring value,” Williams said. “I think we have the best coaching staff in the world, the best training staff, the best strength and conditioning staff. We have the best dietitian. We have the best of everything here. So I want guys to be here. But it is voluntary. … The guys who are here? We’re going to coach them up and teach them.”
The likelihood is Johnson’s return this week will be welcomed and the disappointment over his absence will recede quickly. It is early June, after all, with the Bears not playing their first regular-season game for another three-plus months.‘A trial run’ Rich McKay, chairman of the league’s competition committee, cited data that indicated the concussion rate on kickoffs has increased in recent years as teams have more frequently placed high-arcing kicks outside the goal line but deep in an opponent’s territory, forcing a return.
