Bears Pass Rush - A Case For Optimism.

My hope is that this coaching staff is gifted at unlocking ALL of the potential in these young men - roster wide.  Coaching matters.  Some coaching staffs ARE better at developing talent than others.  I really liked hearing about how Coach Eberflus focused on hiring a staff of men who were good "teacher coaches" - guys who could REALLY connect with these young men and teach them... encouraging them to work hard to be all that they CAN be.  I am convinced that many coaches never get the most out of their guys because they just don't have this gift of connecting with the young men in the right way.  And without this gift, your draft classes are often disappointing... we sure have seen that here on the Bears with past regimes.  

When we see a guy like Braxton Jones get the rookie award (All Rookie Team LT) I don't see that as "luck" but rather a coaching staff that too a kid with fantastic raw physical talent (Brax has that) and teaches the kid to develop well.  I can't wait to see him in year-2 now.  I watched him so closely last year... just isolating on his play.  He is the poster boy for how good coaching can develop these diamonds in the rough.  My hope is that the entire coaching staff can do this.  

There is so much to be optimistic about now.  I like this roster.  I like this coaching staff.  I like this GM, and his sidekick, Cunningham.  I like this new President/CEO Kevin Warren.
