The Chicago Bears made some big organizational changes this week and that has injected optimism into the fanbase, but there are also reasons to worry.
Somewhat lost in the mockery of Eberflus’ H.I.T.S. principle is that the Bears just experienced four years of a head coach constantly searching for an offensive identity. And whatever defensive identity that existed was there because of the defensive coaches on the staff.
“It’s not for everybody. Believe me, it’s not for everybody,” Eberflus said in a sit down with NBC Sports Chicago Monday. “There’s been players that every once in a while , ‘Hey, this is not for me.’ OK, we can work things out. It’s going to be hard. It’s going to be difficult, but it’s going to be worth it.”
A good example of this — with zone-match coverage too — is the Isaiah Rodgers interception on Tom Brady from this past season. There was pre-snap communication between the slot corner and the outside corner and they both picked up their receivers in man-coverage while the rest of the defense played zone.
Getting the buy-in from Fields is Step No. 1, because the young quarterback has already established a clear leadership role in that locker room.
