The true impact this coaching staff has had on this team cannot be underestimated and in fact likely has been especially by myself and many others (not calling out anyone just generalizing). This team is disciplined in each and every one of its assignments and it's not always evident. Example last night the Packers needed a first down in a key situation and Porter rather than back pedaling to the point that he would have been out of position to make a play sat and squatted and baited Rodgers into a throw. He batted the pass away because he was disciplined in his play and trusted not to bite on something he knew the. Packers wouldn't do.
Why is it coaching? Because after the 0-3 start Antrelle Rolle stated it was coaching, Rolle has already bought in and even in the frustration of it all knew that the coaches had equipped them with all the habits and tendencies that their opponents had game planned. Kyle Fuller needed to go out and excuse what was being coached and boy has he since that time. Fuller has solidified his role in this defense and I suspect his play will only get better.
It's coaching because there are players on this team who weren't here in August that are making plays now because they've been put in position to make plays because of the game plan. Guys like Unrein, Callahan, Prosinski are playing better than just about any other player we've seen brought in here in a scrub off the street signing because of coaching and the players' trust in that coaching.
I have never quite seen anything like this in. Bears history finding scrubs off the street and having them play up and above expectations to the pint that the Bears are beating good teams. Lovie and Chico and Lovie and Marinelli together were great defensive coaches but they had Urlacher and. Briggs to hold things together when things would have otherwise gone to shit. Don't get me started on how shitty the offense was and how they could never formulate any semblance of a passing game.
I have no idea how far this team goes this season. There are still a lot of problems in the ability to stop the run, the front is all banged up to shit and that could be the ultimate undoing of the season. It's obvious this team could win out that much is clear, I'm not unaware of the favoribility of the schedule, but since this isn't a team that can flat out dominate teams and too often shit happens in the NFL (Poor officiating ). I don't have confidence that they could win every game left. There is confidence in this staff in the remaining schedule all of it, but it's going to come down to I have no idea anymore. Momentum? Belief in the system? Luck?
There's just enough confidence and just enough doubt. But none of that matters because it's just fun to be competitive again after two years of absolute futility and the predictability of impending defensive failure.
