Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson and quarterback Caleb Williams are a good pairing. Both of them are perfectionists and Williams is striving to be the best version of himself in training camp and this season.
It has not been perfect so far, but Williams is focused on being able to learn from his mistakes throughout training camp, joint practices and the preseason instead of dwelling on them. That way, the Bears offense can be at their best when the regular season starts.
"I think I’ve done a good job taking the coaching," Williams said. "Taking hard coaching, good coaching, whatever the case may be. I think that’s how I’m judging it. Just being able to go out there and execute. There’s going to be mistakes and things like that, but it’s being able to go back into the film room, learn from them. And then when it becomes game day when it comes to all that, we’re executing on a high clip."
In his first year with Johnson, Williams was playing a lot better than he was as a rookie. He was seeing the field better, making better decisions despite a lower completion percentage and was sacked far less which is also attributable to the improved offensive line.
However, the offensive line is not perfect. They struggled against defensive lineman Dexter Lawrence in Chicago’s joint practice against the Cincinnati Bengals. There are new pieces on the line including center Garrett Bradbury and whoever wins the left tackle battle, so they will need time to build that chemistry. Luckily, Chicago has some time before the season opener against the Carolina Panthers on Sept. 13.
