Following the 2024 season, the Bears dismissed head coach Matt Eberflus and hired Ben Johnson, former offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Johnson's focus is to enhance Caleb Williams' performance and improve the team's offense for the 2025 season. During a practice on August 3, fans observed the team's struggles, with Johnson criticizing the offensive execution as sloppier than expected. Caleb Williams faced challenges adjusting to Johnson's system, accumulating seven interceptions in training camp. The offense showed major issues, including delay-of-game penalties and ineffective communication at the line of scrimmage.
Ben Johnson recognized that the Bears' offense underperformed during practice, stating that it was "sloppier than we were hoping it would be at this point," indicating unmet expectations.
Despite treating the practice like a preseason game, including overnight stays, the Bears' offense struggled with execution, highlighted by issues with delay-of-the-game penalties and timeouts at the line.
