“We’ve had a lot of meetings where we’ll sit down and talk about things that work for us, things I like, things I don’t like, things I’ve talked about before (like staying with the flow no matter what the situation),” Williams said. “If we’re running the ball 5 yards, 4.5 carries, just keep distributing the ball. Obviously, get involved but stay in the flow of that and things like that.”

“Those were the meetings we had, the sit-down conversations we had, and I think those were the moments that helped us move forward. And we’ve got to keep going.”

The coaches openly acknowledged how important it was for leaders and other veterans like Marcedes Lewis or DJ Moore to speak out. The coaches took note.

“I think the people in this building, whether it’s the coaches, whether it’s the coaches, whether it’s their ability to understand us as players and then listen to us and adapt, we have what we need as players to step up, to lead,” Williams said. getting better at practice and things like that, through reviews and actually practicing,” he said. “There’s a lot we need to get better at, and everyone’s done a good job so far, and we’ve got to keep getting better.”

This was also the calling of the play and the writing of the script of the play. They changed the way early games are called so players know what to expect sooner.

“But there were a lot of things,” Waldron said. “And every week (I had the chance to talk to some other players yesterday) and it’s based on constant communication and looking at where we can improve every week as coaches. Where can we improve as players? Should we have a better operation?”

It makes sense how something like this could help the offense. But the important thing about labeling something as a milestone, or at least being critical in developing success, is that there has to be success, too.

This is where the importance of the match we will play against Washington comes into play. It goes way beyond a showdown between Caleb Williams and possibly Jayden Daniels.

The Bears have won three in a row, but while Williams has been able to regularly find receivers for DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze at the end of offensive struggles, all three of the opposing defenses are questionable.

The Bears’ offense didn’t look good enough to win three straight against someone ranked higher than Division II, let alone the NFC. Suddenly they started piling up points and goals. It is therefore easy to draw conclusions about the change achieved through their meetings.

These weren’t good defenses, though.

Now Washington represents a better level opponent. It’s not just their high-powered offense, either.

The Commanders rank 16th against defense, 12th against the pass, and 18th against the run. They are a middle-of-the-road group on that side of the ball and are dangerous when paired with their No. 1 offense.

If these three straight wins are truly a turning point, the Bears offense needs to step up now and prove it.

If they lose and struggle offensively against a better-quality defense, there will be plenty of critics who doubt that they can truly compete in the NFC North, which suddenly looks more open after back-to-back losses to previously undefeated teams. Vikings.

Their only convincing offensive performances will come against friendly competition. The Colts weren’t even a real defensive challenge as they currently rank 29th, but the Bears fumbled badly in the 21-16 loss.

This is a game that proves the real level of development, as well as the impact of meeting, talking and communicating.

Otherwise, here is a team whose defense is excellent, its rookie quarterback is improving, and the offense is still trying to pick things up.
