Bears coach Ben Johnson was asked Thursday about trying to make life easier for his new offensive linemen.
Ease, he said, had no place in the discussion.
“It shouldn’t be easy,” said Johnson, who was hired away from the Lions’ offensive coordinator job in January. “This should be hard. Spring should be hard, training camp should be hard.
“Anything worth doing is hard, so it’s going to take a lot of work, it’s going to take a lot of effort. In particular, Year 1, we should not be comfortable as we’re coming into the springtime.
