Ryan Poles never misses a practice.
He’s been roaming the fields at Halas Hall during mandatory minicamp this with a close watch on the roster he built — a 91-man roster, by the way, that is down to just 15 holdovers from the Ryan Pace era.
So Poles knows firsthand what this team really is. He surely could see that a year ago, too. He knows what the Bears have and what they lack.
But unlike last season, there must be urgency to make repairs.
