The Chicago Bears take on the league-leading Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday at Soldier Field. “We look at it as an opportunity and a great challenge to be able to see our guys match up individually and also as units,” Bears coach Matt Eberflus said.
The Philadelphia Eagles will offer a good look at how far the Chicago Bears have to go to join the small mix of teams in position to compete for a Lombardi Trophy.
The continued development of Fields is key to the Bears rising from the depths. If he can ascend in his third season as Hurts has and become more skilled as a pocket passer, the Bears will be able to declare with confidence their never-ending quest to solve the quarterback riddle will be solved. Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is a year ahead of Eberflus in the process. He took over last season, but GM Howie Roseman, who built the Super Bowl team that knocked off the Patriots with Nick Foles filling in for injured quarterback Carson Wentz, remains. If Poles and the Bears can learn anything from the Eagles in a copycat league, it’s how the Eagles have remained nimble.
Roseman’s drafts in 2019 and 2020 provided little, but Hurts, running back Miles Sanders and wide receiver Quez Watkins remain. To fill in, Roseman has been a wheeler and dealer, making moves for high-end talent other teams have dumped. He traded for wide receiver A.J. Brown and cornerback Darius Slay and signed edge rusher Haason Reddick and cornerback James Bradberry after they were let go.Reagor and Dillard were not the only high-profile mistakes.
As the Bears continue their process-driven development with Fields, those are some key points to keep in mind in the rebuilding process. Focus on the lines, have cat-like reflexes and always have a contingency plan.Information for this report was obtained from NFL scouts.
