Bears coach Matt Eberflus sees better footwork and mastery of the offense from Caleb Williams in Week 2 of OTAs, finishing with a strong Friday workout.
The 7-on-7 and full-squad scrimmaging done by the Bears without pads to end the second week of OTAs was more give and take instead of the defense dictating play.
"And that's really what a football season is, or even an individual career is like that. There are some learning moments in there during the course of the week. It wasn't perfect, but again, there was progress. I thought this week was better than last week. That's the positive." By and large the passing game started taking shape and Williams located receivers in open areas, although he did get flushed out of the pocket once by a hard charge from Gervon Dexter. Another time he got caught with the ball after a fake when Dominique Robinson didn't bite.
One of the new things they did was Hail Mary's and last-second plays. Williams completed one at the back of the end zone to Cole Kmet. Of more importance was the rhythm and timing in the passing game overall."Just understanding the plays and how his feet are married to those plays, albeit if it's just normal situations, if it's play-action pass or in the red-zone when it quickens up a little bit," Eberflus said.
