Most of the change has come on the defensive side, where they’ve not only moved to a 4-3 scheme after being in a 3-4 for seven years. They’ve also changed six starters on defense. For some players, change has been easier than for others.
"Apparently it’s a lot of new faces," linebacker Nick Morrow said. "So I guess we’re all figuring it out together. But it’s been good."The Bears signed the former Raiders linebacker as a free agent and now he’s calling the defensive signals and playing the traditional Chicago position of middle linebacker in 4-3, where Hall of Famers Brian Urlacher, Mike Singletary, Dick Butkus and Bill George once played.
"Shoot, Kyler’s first day on the job he had two picks and Brisker punched the ball out as well, and he punched the ball out again yesterday," Morrow said. "They do a good job of finding the football, punching it out, getting it out. "Mentally, what you assess this time of year — can the guy pick it up?," Eberflus said. "Is he fast mentally? Can he think on his feet? Is he able to adjust and make the adjustments on the fly? That’s No. 1.
"As the process goes, this is why it’s so important for everybody to be here, because you form a team by being together and understanding how we operate," Eberflus said.
