Episode notes
Young Offensive Core Emerges
- The Bears have a genuine young offensive core to build around led by Caleb Williams and Darnell Wright.
- Adam Hoge believes four of five young offensive players made significant jumps and project as long-term building blocks.
Top-Down Staff Stability Matters
- Coaching turnover is normal but the Bears have rare stability at the top with Ben Johnson and Dennis Allen.
- That top stability reduces damage when assistants like Al Harris or Declan Doyle draw outside interest.
Don't Rush Rookie Judgments
- Don't write off Ruben Hippolyte after one season; pads change evaluation and rookies can redshirt.
- Give him time to learn NFL tackling and earn special-teams snaps before judging his long-term role.
