With the NFL draft in the rearview mirror, all eyes have shifted to the end of July. That is when the Chicago Bears will convene in Lake Forest for training camp. It figures to be a competitive event. Everybody knows the defense will show up like usual. They have talent across the board. However, they may find the offense isn’t the same pushover they’ve been in years past. They’ve been reinforced by two excellent wide receivers in Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, while adding #1 overall pick Caleb Williams at quarterback. The competition should be fun to watch.
However, it could get even better based on new information regarding an organizational overhaul. According to Bill Zimmerman of Windy City Gridiron, the Bears have dismissed Vice President of Communications Brandon Faber. For years, he was the one most directly responsible for the team’s strict training camp policies regarding no video from the event. Plenty of other teams don’t seem as strict about this sort of thing. Maybe his departure could lead to the Bears easing some of the restrictions, allowing fans who can’t make it to practices to watch their favorite players work to improve.
The Chicago Bears remain part of a weird NFL trend.
While filming individual drills and warmups is fine, teams get really paranoid about the idea of video of full team drills getting out. Apparently, they fear other teams catching wind of plans they may have regarding the scheme. It’s frankly ridiculous. If other teams wanted that information so badly, they’d have professional spies who can do that. They wouldn’t rely on fan video clips. A big opportunity is in front of the Bears. They can drastically alter the fan experience for the better if they slacken their restrictions.
Either way, training camp figures to be an exciting one. The Chicago Bears have the best roster on paper they’ve had in the past several years. Many feel they are on the cusp of a playoff push. If Williams can avoid too many of the typical rookie setbacks and guys stay healthy, they are capable of reaching January football. A good training camp would be the start of it. Nothing would get the fans juiced up for September more than seeing lots of great video clips.
