Thomas Brown has been a breath of fresh air.

I’ve been extremely critical of the Bears coaching up until this point of the season. The team is 4-6, and if not for a poorly handled Hail Mary against the Commanders and a non-blocked field goal against the Packers, we could be talking about a 6-4 squad in the thick of the playoff race in the NFC.

But I’m not the only one who’s been critical, though. Multiple times throughout the year, especially on the offensive side of the ball, we heard players voice their frustration that they weren’t being coached hard enough or that little things in practice were being let go of instead of addressed. Sure, Shane Waldron had issues calling the plays and getting his best players the ball, but it feels like his issues in practice and the meeting room were just as prevalent.
