The Chicago Bears are beginning their season under Dennis Allen’s new defensive scheme. Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds cautions that while facing an inexperienced quarterback like J.J. McCarthy may be tempting, the team’s first step should be measured and strategic.

In a strategic move to bolster their defense, the Chicago Bears have drafted defensive tackle Shemar Turner, marking the first selection for new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. Turner joins fellow newcomers Grady Jarrett and Dayo Odeyingbo, signaling the team’s commitment to enhancing their defensive lineup.
