I started the season skeptical of Johnson. After the bye week when he adjusted and made the Bears focus more on the run game I became more of a believer in his ability to coach properly. I said this season reminds me of 2018 2.0 but whatโs missing (so far) are the bone headed challenges, timeouts and other head scratching play calls that Nagy was notorious for, even that year.
Today was a master class of play calling. Johnson went in knowing the weather would be a factor and kept Williams in the โgame managerโ setting and didnโt ask him to make splash plays. Fortunately he didnโt have to. The running game and its blocking has advanced to a level we havenโt seen in many decades. This is really cool.
I can say confidently; โIn Ben I trustโ.
