Johnson credits Simmons with early impact on Bears
The Bears coach pointed to the All-Pro defensive tackle’s game performance while stressing the importance of consistency throughout the week.
Bears head coach Ben Johnson said Jeffery Simmons had already made a significant difference after a week with the team. Johnson pointed to the All-Pro defensive tackle’s performance in a game as evidence of his influence.
Asked what Simmons had changed, Johnson also emphasized the value of players whose approach between games matches their performance on the field. He said the Bears were urging players to maintain consistent preparation and energy, rather than showing those qualities only during games.
Johnson described that consistency as a characteristic of great teams. The Bears hope adding Simmons will help them reach that level.
