The Chicago Bears' pass rush struggles take center stage as head coach Ben Johnson addresses defensive shortcomings with a refreshing level of accountability. Unlike his predecessor Matt Eberflus, Johnson demonstrates comprehensive oversight of both sides of the ball, emphasizing the need to capitalize on one-on-one matchups and transition faster to rush after play-action.

With the Bears facing the Bengals—one of the league's worst rushing defenses allowing 35 points per game—this matchup presents a crucial opportunity. The discussion covers key players including Caleb Williams, who needs to execute within the system, and Kalel Monangai, who gets his chance to prove himself as a number-one running back. Austin Booker's return adds depth to a pass rush led by Gervon Dexter and Montez Sweat, while C.J. Gardner-Johnson's addition at nickel brings much-needed edge and experience to an injury-depleted secondary.

Tune in for an honest assessment of where this young Bears team stands at the midseason point and what execution truly means for their playoff hopes.
