Tej Seth makes the case for the Chicago Bears offense in 2026, a conversation from Bet Bash in Las Vegas.
You and I both know being from the Michigan area that Ben Johnson was transformative to the Lions offense for the years that he was there in getting Jared Goff in a good spot and really scheming up players like Amon Ross, St.
And now we've seen that transform over to the bears where he put together a super impressive run scheme last season where he got running backs and deandre swift and kyle menungai who are not thought of as very high rated running backs with really efficient rushing performances all across the year the offensive line was blocking well but ben johnson's scheme really just helped that run game and he also seemed to help Caleb Williams go from the highest sack rate quarterback in the league his rookie year to one of the lowest sack rate quarterbacks in the league his second year that seemed to be a strong point of emphasis for the Bears offense and now they've added weapons like Luther Burden and Colston Loveland that are also going into their second years and I'm just really excited about their offense this year because of all those pieces.
One thing I've noticed about Caleb Williams, so I do, I predict interceptions using something I call bad ball rate.
as a rookie with his bad ball rate he wasn't really good at anything else but like he did not throw the football in the dangerous situations that went up a little bit this second season this past year so do you think that's part of you know was ben johnson like i want you i want you to like not take a sack even if you kind of have to maybe throw the ball somewhere you don't quite want to throw it do you think that's part of how he's coaching him up
I think that when you look at what Ben Johnson emphasizes in his view of how he wants an offense to operate, the number one thing he tries to focus on is explosive play rate, it seems, from the way that he calls his offense and some of the things he says in his press conference.
But then also paired with that is He seems like he wants to minimize the negative sacks that these quarterbacks are taking.
Jared Goff had his sack rate drop a decent amount going from previous offense coordinators to Ben Johnson.
Caleb Williams also is seeing the same thing of When you end up in these situations where you end up taking a sack as a quarterback, it just puts the offense so far behind the sticks.
And then when you are able to not take a sack on a drive, but also pair that with an explosive play, like Ben Johnson seems to emphasize, that also just puts you in such a high probability situation of actually getting points on that drive, especially a touchdown.
