'I'll fall on the sword' — Bears head coach Ben Johnson takes the ultimate accountability for disappointing practice on Wednesday

Overall, the offense has had a lot of up and down performances throughout camp with the players drinking from a firehose in order to learn all the precise details Johnson is looking to engrain in their head on every single play.

"Our details weren't quite there as a passing unit," Johnson added about Wednesday's practice. "I was pretty disappointed with the practice yesterday as a whole. You have to be very precise down there (in the red zone) to have success in the passing game, in my opinion. It just wasn't where it needed to be. . . There's a lot of details that we needed to clean up in that entire practice."

As a result, Johnson claimed Thursday's practice will be the longest and toughest day the players have had yet in training camp before having a scheduled day off on Friday.

Not everything missed the mark on Wednesday working down in the red zone. Johnson did praise quarterback Caleb Williams for his decision-making on a pass that went incomplete to rookie WR Luther Burden III. Even though it wasn't executed successfully, it was a back of the endzone pass that Johnson considers to be an "us or nobody" throw. Earlier in training camp, Williams attempted a similar play but put the ball too low, allowing it to be intercepted by LB T.J. Edwards.

"These are things at you learn from," Johnson explained back on Saturday. "Unfortunately, you have to do it a couple of times to get burned by the hot stove before you realize, hey I don't want to touch that anymore."

This kind of personal accountability and accountability in his players to get things right is exactly what this team needed to see out of their head coach.

When general manager Ryan Poles said the leadership would be way different with Johnson, he was clearly right and the entire organization is better for it.
