LONDON — Shane Waldron has flipped the script by creating a more specific one.
Monday, Bears coach Matt Eberflus confirmed that his offensive coordinator started the season by not laying out the typical 15-play start-of-game script in order. Instead, he designed plays that were prioritized and run by his players during game preparations every week.
The Bears had a menu of “openers” they used on first and second down plus a separate list of third down plays sorted by distance.
