The Bears are going from almost no weapons on offense, to something we have never witnessed before in Chicago - offense weapons everywhere you look on this team. This is a good article that is not behind a paywall.
LINK A Bears offense described often as void of weapons beyond Justin Fields' legs and Cole Kmet's receiving two years ago now faces a weekly challenge trying to determine which of numerous dangerous players to lean on, and to what degree. At least this is the narravitve being pushed forward as QB Caleb Williams and the Bears get on the field this week for more competitive work at organized team activities. "We have so many weapons here, so it's hard for a coordinator to try and get the ball to everybody," running backs coach Chad Morton said. "Really, the whole team has to be unselfish cause the ball can go to any one of these guys." Unselfishness needs to be the keyword for this Bears offense. The emphasis of Shane Waldron's offense, the one he took to Seattle from Sean McVay in L.A., is hitting a defense from any possible direction and with any possible target or ball carrier.
LINK Early offensive clues? During rookie minicamp, Waldron was asked about his experience using three wide receiver sets in Seattle and whether that time would help him craft the offense around Williams in Chicago.
Waldron arrived with the reputation of someone good at molding an offense to the strengths of his personnel, and his answer showed that this offense would continue to be a work in progress throughout the offseason program and into training camp.
"I think for us on offense, we want to be able to be multiple on offense," Waldron said. "And so with the addition of the wide receivers, having three receivers, two great established vets, we've got other young guys that are up and coming on the roster as well, it just allows us to continue to be multiple, allows us to on a week-by-week basis see what might be a matchup advantage or something that we can look to lean heavier towards. And with Cole and Gerald and the other tight ends and [Khari Blasingame] at fullback, we got a lot of different pieces that we can utilize.

Scary that we may have an offensive coordinator who knows what he’s doing.
