Analysis: It's all new for the Bears on offense with Caleb Williams but some of the same old problems of the past must be overcome to open Sunday with a win.
In the NFL, there are unscouted looks from teams with new coaching staffs or with totally revamped rosters after rebuilds, of course.Sure, they have film of past games but even teams with rosters largely intact change greatly in how they do things, in the people who do it, and in who orders it up from the sidelines, so that very little is the same from one season to the next in the NFL. They spend all offseason finding ways to make it look different than in the past.
It's the same head coach, but so much has changed on offense with a new coordinator and offensive coaching staff but even more so with their young QB and with new pass targets like Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze and Gerald Everett. If anything has is certain, bad things will happen in the game with Williams as QB. He's a rookie. Bad things happen to veterans. They did Friday to Jalen Hurts and yet there he was at the end conducting a game-sealing drive. Williams will respond poorly to some of the things he hasn't seen before and make mistakes. He and the team, in general, must be ready to answer back when things happen that are not part of the plan.
"It's going to be a good test for us," Eberflus said. "A new offense a new quarterback, those things. We are looking for clean operation, looking for good flow in and out of the huddle, looking for handling adversity when adversity does happen. How we respond to that really as a whole football team, not just on the offense."
