Chairman George McCaskey laid out Friday what he wanted to see from the Bears — and new head coach Matt Eberflus — this season.
“Wins are always a gauge of success and progress,” he said. “Beyond that, I’d like to see some of the themes that Matt has been emphasizing — discipline, smart play, hustle, swarming defense, takeaways, going for the ball. Three-and-outs. Getting the run game going. Minimizing mistakes. And learning from mistakes.
“He talks about getting better each week. That’s a good gauge.”
So far, so good. The Bears have plenty to fix after their opener — “This will be a big week for us for our improvement,” Eberflus said Monday — but they get to do so while sitting at 1-0.
