Troubling news emerges on Bears QB Caleb Williams’ workout with HC Ben Johnson
It might have been a good thing the Chicago Bears didn’t play Caleb Williams on Sunday. The Bears might need to hide their second-year quarterback as he irons out his wrinkles in the pre-snap process and with accuracy issues. The No. 1 pick in the 2024 draft struggled with timing and accuracy during the Bears’ joint practice with the Miami Dolphins on Friday. Caleb Williams was inaccurate in the red zone against no defenders On Sunday, head coach Ben Johnson chose not to play Williams against the Dolphins in the Bears’ first preseason game. Instead, Johnson led a workout with Williams and wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore before the game. Per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears ran a total of 87 plays during the workout. All of the plays were routes in the air with no defenders on the field for the scripted practice. Despite going against no defenders bringing pressure or guarding his receivers, Williams struggled to hit his targets in the red zone. "Williams would stand next to Johnson, who would give him the play," Biggs wrote. "Then, the quarterback simulated a huddle with the player (only one ran a route on each snap) and gave the play call. They’d break the huddle, go to the line of scrimmage, Williams would simulate pre-snap actions and then the play would be run… "Before ending the session with eight deep balls, there was a 25-play set of snaps in the red zone. One thing Williams struggled to connect on was out routes to Moore and Odunze near the goal line. Those throws were not close and Williams consistently led the receivers too much." A closed-door problem for the Chicago Bears The throws weren’t close during routes on air… in the red zone? Williams wasn’t ready to take the field for the preseason game. For all of the flak he’s been getting from practice reports, the quarterback would have been relentlessly mocked for having these issues shown during an NFL Network broadcast. Biggs’ report is troubling, with a month to go before the season. Williams has much to improve upon, and the Bears are very much trying to do so without cameras present for a reason.
Packers HC Matt LaFleur makes a telling comment about Jordan Love
The Green Bay Packers always had a vision for Jordan Love. That's why they shocked the world by taking him in the first round, even if that meant infuriating Aaron Rodgers. Fast forward to today, and Love has proved to be up to the task of being a starter, and he's even looked like a potential star at times. That's why, despite some inconsistencies and questionable decision-making, head coach Matt LaFleur still has the utmost confidence in him. "I’d hate to put a ceiling on him because I think he can be one of the elites in this league," LaFleur told The Athletic. Love took some pages out of Rodgers' book. He's been great at making the most of free plays, and his sidearm throws are just too similar to No. 12. What he didn't get from his mentor, however, was the consistency and the ability to take care of the football. Even so, Love knows he has what it takes to be among the best of the best. "What those guys do at such a high level is just consistency with everything," Love said. "I know I’m just as good as those guys and can be even better, so I think it comes down to going out there and making those plays on Sunday." Love is currently out with an injury that will most likely keep him sidelined until Week 1. The Packers wide receiver corps has been the most decimated in the league, and with sky-high expectations for the season, all eyes will be on Love in 2025.
Titans snatch Brian Asamoah off waivers as Vikings sign 2 linebackers
Brian Asamoah II only waited 24 hours to be claimed off waivers by the Tennessee Titans. The 2022 third-round pick never developed into a regular rotation player for the Minnesota Vikings, but he'll get a fresh start playing in a different scheme under Tennessee defensive coordinator Dennard Willis. Asamoah's release was followed by the Vikings signing a pair of linebackers on Wednesday: outside linebacker Cam Gill and insider linebacker Max Tooley. Gill has been in the NFL since 2020, playing primarily a special teams role with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for three seasons. In 2024, Gill played for the Carolina Panthers and logged 221 defensive snaps and 172 special teams snaps. He finished the season with 22 tackles and four quarterback hits. Notably, Gill recorded two tackles and half a sack for Tampa Bay in Super Bowl LV. Tooely was on Minnesota's practice squad all of last season, though he never appeared in a game as a rookie. He went undrafted after starring at BYU in college. Neither Gill nor Tooley are expected to land a big role on defense. The inside linebacker jobs currently belong to starters Blake Cashman and Ivan Pace Jr., followed by veteran Eric Wilson and rookie Kobe King waiting in the wings as the primary backups. The outside linebacker depth is also evident with Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel, Dallas Turner, Gabriel Murphy, Bo Richter, Tyler Batty and Chaz Chambliss. Van Ginkel is dealing with an unspecified health issue so our guess is that the Vikings brought in Gill to take some of the available reps this week against the New England Patriots.

Dallas Cowboys locker room reacts to preseason AP Poll, trolls Dak Prescott
College coaches will do whatever it takes to have their team ignore the preseason AP poll. NFL coaches can have some fun with their players when the top 25 is released, though. Brian Schottenheimer decided to get some trash-talking going inside the Dallas Cowboys locker room by showing the poll. With Texas and Penn State taking the top two spots, a few players got to puff out their chests. Schottenheimer gave his opinion on where his Florida Gators stand before attention apparently turned over to Dak Prescott. The franchise quarterback heard about where his alma mater sits heading into the 2025 season. “Today, we showed a video, breaking news of the AP top 25 coming out,” Schottenheimer said. “DMo (DeMarvion Overshown) was fired up — he and Micah (Parsons) and Miles (Sanders) about Texas and Penn State being up there high. I do think that Florida got cheated a little bit, I think we should be higher than 15. But people were quick to point out Mississippi State wasn’t on there. So, yeah, Dak didn’t really like that.” Prescott brought Mississippi State into the national spotlight over a decade ago, earning the No. 1 ranking in the College Football Playoff rankings back in 2014. Since then, he has remained a major advocate of the program. The team’s current mascot, Bully XXII, is named Dak. Even so, Prescott is likely to continue to get trolled about the current state of Mississippi State. Jeff Lebby remains in the early stages of a rebuild, coming off a year where they finished 0-8 in the SEC. Not many are too high on the Bulldogs for this season either, predicted to finish 16th in the SEC preseason media poll. Who knows, maybe an upset will take place at some point. Mississippi State will play against Overshown’s Texas Longhorns on Oct. 25 in Starkville. Unfortunately, not one where they can attend as the Cowboys head out West to face the Denver Broncos the following day. Schottenheimer will get his opportunity against Overshown as well. Florida hosts Texas on Oct. 4, a massive early-season SEC game. Once again, the Cowboys will be preoccupied elsewhere, facing the New York Jets in the Meadowlands. If there are some spirited conversations taking place preseason, you know the intensity will go up a notch once results come flying in. Nothing brings out the pride of NFL players, or coaches, more than watching their college teams have success.
