Bears take a look at which offensive linemen could factor into trick plays
Our Summary
Ben Johnson, previously known for his creative play-calling with the Lions, is now bringing his innovative approach to the Bears as their head coach. During his first minicamp, Johnson had offensive linemen, including right tackle Darnell Wright, catch passes from quarterbacks. Impressed by Wright's one-handed catch, Johnson hinted at potentially incorporating trick plays involving linemen into their playbook. While these plays might not be frequent, the mere possibility forces opposing defenses to prepare for them, potentially boosting the Bears' offensive strategy.
