The Bears Are “All-In” on Fixing the Offensive Line After Hiring Ben Johnson
Also: Thomas Brown and Chris Morgan will not be retained by Ben Johnson.
If you were wondering what impact Ben Johnson would have on personnel decisions now that he is the Chicago Bears’ head coach, I think we just got our answer. Not that it should come as a surprise to anyone, but the new Bears head coach is set to prioritize improving the offensive line upon his arrival to Chicago.
“I think offensive line is certainly an area that we need to get better play from going forward,” Johnson said on Wednesday (as transcribed by NFL Media). “Something that Ryan and I already talked about. We will develop a plan of attack for how to get that done. But I’m looking forward to getting an excellent offensive line coach into the building to help develop the young talent we already have on the roster, and we will certainly talk about acquiring talent to bolster that unit as well. I certainly was blessed the last few years with the men that I worked with, and that was something I would love to replicate here as well.”
