Because the way that the roster is being reshaped right now, you see the potential in a lot of moves, but they're not filled with a bunch of proven commodities like the Bears had before.
Now, when you pay big money to some of the guys who the Bears previously had at key positions, then the expectations go up because the feeling is you expect these guys to play โ
to the value of their contract.
In some situations, that didn't seem to be the case.
But they were still really good football players.
Just like, all right, is Tremaine Edmonds worth all the money he was being paid?
Right now, Montez Sweat is still here.
That question still kind of looms with Montez Sweat.
But he's still a really good defensive end.
But if they had moved on from Montez Sweat, you'd have a big hole to fill there.
You got a big hole to fill with DJ Moore not being a part of the receiver core anymore.
So there's certainly key spots there.
where that question very much looms, even with a veteran coming in like Garrett Bradbury.
He's played a lot of good football, a lot of winning football.
It's a definitive downgrade at center by comparison to what you'd gotten last season from Drew Dallman.
So as a roster overall,
this to me really does put pressure on the coaching staff.
In addition to the players who've come in, you want to see the best version of all these guys.
They do have a coaching staff who we saw the best version of so many of these bears last season.
So that to me is where some of the confidence needs to come into this.
