It's hard enough for the Bears offense to get the football snapped these days without a penalty flag when defensive tackle Andrew Billings is hollering out fake cadences.For the second straight practice, defensive end Montez Sweat made contact with quarterback Caleb Williams on a pass play and that's a no-no in football practices.
It's quite clear to all defensive players that they can't be making contact with the quarterback in practice. The orange jersey passers wear to stand out from the other players says as much."No, he knows he should not do that," coach Matt Eberflus said. "I threw him out of the drill today. Then I pulled him aside and I said, 'Look, you cannot do that. You'd be sick if something happens.
"He's good enough to be able to stop and move away," Eberflus said. "So he's got to be disciplined that way and he will in the future." They want Billings trying to be disruptive before snaps to get the offense ready for such tactics. They just don't want the tactics to work so often.
