Bears' New Coach Shakes Up Training Camp with High Intensity
28 Jul
Summary
- New head coach Ben Johnson brings high-energy, no-nonsense approach
- Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen challenging offense with complex schemes
- Undrafted WR JP Richardson turning heads as potential surprise player
The Chicago Bears are gearing up for the 2025 NFL season with a renewed sense of purpose under new head coach Ben Johnson. During the first week of training camp, Johnson has wasted no time in establishing his high-intensity, no-nonsense approach, even pulling the entire starting offense off the field for failing to get set in a timely manner.
Joining Johnson is new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who is already making life difficult for the Bears' offense with his unique coverages and blitzes. Wide receiver DJ Moore noted that "there is not one thing that looks the same on that defense," as Allen works to prepare his veteran unit for the upcoming campaign.
While the coaching staff has been the main story so far, a few players have also stood out in the early going. Undrafted wide receiver JP Richardson has been turning heads with his impressive one-handed catches and strong rapport with quarterback Tyson Bagent, positioning himself as a potential surprise contributor this season.
With the Bears looking to bounce back from a disappointing few years, the first week of training camp has set the tone for a new era in Chicago. Under Johnson's leadership and with Allen's defensive expertise, the Bears are determined to reclaim their relevance in the NFL.
