Roquan Smith shares great insight on matchup vs. Commanders
The Bears' defense has dealt with its fair share of struggles through the first five weeks of the year. However, the unit is still finding ways to rebound, limiting opponents to 26 total points in the second half of games. This is actually a very respectable number.
Well, LB Roquan Smith mentioned that the defensive personnel is still learning how to play with one another early in the season, considering the offseason changes brought about by first-year GM Ryan Poles. Smith acknowledges the learning curve is not an excuse, but it's a contributing factor to why the defense is still forming its identity.
"I definitely think we're still writing our identity," Smith said. "It's, what, the fifth game? Haven't played even half of the season yet, so I think we're still establishing our identity and I feel like once we get that going and doing things to the best of our ability, I think maybe at the end of the year, we'll definitely know what our identity is."
