Offseason Review
The 2014 offseason was driven by GM Phil Emery’s plot to upgrade Chicago’s suddenly one-dimensional defense. By which I mean last year’s defense was born of a dimension in which doctors unsuccessfully try to surgically remake people who can tackle running backs into either hideous cave monsters or Maxine Stuart.
Here’s the good news, Bear fans: If the Chicago can give up fewer than 5.3 yards per carry this season, we’re seeing tangible improvement.
Improvement akin to growing some hair back on the stub of your severed left hand, but I’m a glass is half full (of whiskey) kind of guy.
Let’s examine the sweeping changes that are going to help the 2014 squad eclipse the crappy, crappy standard set by its injury riddled predecessor.
