John Fox Rips Bears' Offseason.
According to most, the Chicago Bears had a relatively good offseason as they improved the running game and gave a small facelift to the defense. However if you ask John Fox and Damien Woody of ESPN, the Bears had the worst offseason in all of football. It's kind of funny that Fox picked the Bears. Fox of course was fired by the Bears before Matt Nagy came in and he actually pointed to the Bears' kicking situation as one of the problems. A situation that Fox actually created by pushing Robbie Gould out of town. "I think when you're going to play defense, you're going to lean on your takeaways to help a young offense and you don't have a kicker, a reliable kicker that you're going to need those points from after some of those turnovers," Fox said. "I think the kicking question is really big right now in Chicago and I think that might be a problem going into the season."
Woody feels that losing Vic Fangio will hurt the team more than anything without giving any mention to their new experienced coach Chuck Pagano. "I think losing Vic Fangio... is huge," Woody said. "That Chicago Bears defense, it literally fueled their offense. It's the identity of the Bears and when you lose a talented defensive coordinator like that, I think there's going to be some slippage there."Considering Fox led the Bears to a 14-34 record during his time in Chicago, we can take his opinion with a grain of salt.
