Bears confident in Brown’s ability to reignite offense

Brown’s primary responsibility will be to reignite an offense that’s quarterbacked by rookie Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the draft. After scoring five touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time since 1956, the unit has mustered just two TDs in its last three contests.

“Excited about the opportunity,” Brown said. “This will not be a one-man show. I’m excited to work and collaborate with our entire staff and our players to fix the problems we do have. Had a great conversation yesterday with Caleb about my thoughts moving forward, issues to fix, and just had a phenomenal walk-through. Guys were upbeat, moving around, being really detailed.”

Brown believes that preparation is the key to success in any endeavor.

“It starts every day when you walk in the building,” he said. “What I said to the team today and to our offensive staff and players is two things you control when you walk in the building: it’s your effort and your attitude. It starts there first. How we approach the meetings, being detailed, being locked in and transferring that to the actual practice field, being intentional about the walk-through, but also making practice as hard as humanly possible so the game can somewhat become easier. To me, that’s going to be our focus. That’s what we’re locked in on and so understanding that practice and preparation always leads to game day execution, that’s our focus.”

While the Bears won’t drastically alter their playbook, Eberflus expects Brown to creatively put playmakers in open spaces with the ball in their hands.

“I think at this point, when it comes to where we are in the season, you can’t reinvent the wheel,” Brown said. “I’m not going to try to do that at all.

“It’s about being able to try and find the best way to be effective with our playmakers, to be able to mirror what we do with our formation and motion standpoint. Everything for me starts up front, starts with the run game, how we attack, knock it forward mentality and we will build off that.”

Brown said he spoke to Williams about aspects of his game he can improve.

“It was all a positive conversation,” Brown said. “He was receptive to it. Talked about what he can fix and be better for our offense. Quarterback’s the most difficult position, so we’ve got to be better all around him. But it also starts with how we coach it, being more detailed, being more demanding with not just him but also the entire staff as…
