The Chicago Bears had some secondary issues a season ago, so this offseason they attacked the position to make sure that wouldn’t carry over. The new regime brought in a couple rookies and a few free agents while letting some dead weight leave, with the hope that the current group will be able to thrive in the new Matt Eberflus Tampa 2-esque scheme.
When looking at the safety position specifically, in just a few months the Bears turned a weakness into one of their stronger position groups. They’ll need to prove it on the field of course, but in knowing what we do about the scheme, I’m excited to see this group come together.
