Analysis: Caleb Williams, other rookie starters, and new veterans in the Bears offense can use the play reps in preseason but they're watching the preseason opener for better or worse.
Coach Matt Eberflus' plan to hold Caleb Williams and all the starters out of Thursday's Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio could conjure up plenty of haunting memories for Bears, fans when player missed huge chunks of preseason or all of it and seemed unprepared when the regular season began
There are many philosophies on how to use quarterbacks in preseason, and giving veterans too much playing time never seems to make much sense. However, the rookies need the reps and Eberflus acknowledges this much. "You always got to look at the health of your team, as I stated before," Eberflus said. "That can change. That can adjust.
The same goes for their entire offense because the offensive line has altered like it has so often over the past two seasons. With Nate Davis gone, both the center combatants—Coleman Shelton and Ryan Bates—are with starters, Bates moving over to Davis' right guard spot. The line needs to build cohesion. Continuity through reps together is desirable and something the Bears haven't been able to achieve either of the last two seasons.
