Chicago Bears coach on problems that Caleb Williams gives

More news: Chicago Bears rookie WR could be getting more targets according to Ben Johnson

When asked about Williams, the Bears’ defensive coordinator discussed the problems opposing defenses face with a playmaker like Williams.

Via Adam Jahns on X, Allen said that Williams creates problems with how “opposing defenses want to rush him” due to his ability of being able to escape pressure from the pocket”

“It creates a lot of problems for the defense, in terms of how you want to rush him. If you want to play man coverage on the back end and he escapes, there’s a lot of backs turned to him. You want to rush four and play zone behind him?

“Well they got five and six people blocking versus four, creates escape lanes for the quarterback.”

The abilities Williams has to make something out of nothing are a clear threat to opposing defenses.

Caleb Williams has used his escapability as an advantage against opposing defenses

There has been plenty of times throughout the season where it seemed Williams was going to get a brutal sack. However, Williams has been able to make pure magic out of some of these scrambles, where he has been able to escape out of the pocket and take off for multiple gains.

Not only in the run game, but the quarterback continues to improve with throws on the move as well.

With such a complex offense, Williams is starting to show that he’s much more comfortable in Ben Johnson’s offense. The Bears’ quarterback is finally showing the world why he was drafted first overall last season.
