After being hired as the Bears' coach, Ben Johnson emphasized the need for enhancing the offensive line, especially with key players heading for free agency. Johnson is optimistic about transforming the position group, citing successful examples from other teams like the Panthers. He believes even minor changes can significantly impact the offense's dynamic and is focused on improving the team's overall performance by strategically identifying areas for enhancement and potentially revising the roster to ensure better protection for quarterback Caleb Williams, after his challenging rookie season.
There are a number of teams that did that last year, the Panthers come to mind, when they went out in free agency and got a couple of top guards, really changed the dynamic of their offense.
Weâre just identifying where we can get a little bit better, and we're going to continue to raise that floor, and weâll find the right mix of five to eight, nine, 10 guys.
You saw them clicking there in the second half of the season once they really started to gel. Thereâs no question that you can change the dynamic of the room just like that.
That doesnât necessarily mean we need five new starters, because all it takes is one individual to blow up a play.
