Williams sees encouraging signs for Bears despite some struggles

LAKE FOREST, Ill. (CBS) — Back-to-back losses have let some of the air out of the Bears’ hype balloon, but after just three games, it is way too early to start talking bust.
As the Bears get ready to host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, the party line is that they’re not that far away from everything coming together.
The Bears haven’t gotten much out of their big offensive additions, including Keenan Allen, who was finally back at practice for the first time since Week 1 on Wednesday. 
Despite the overall struggles, Caleb Williams does see some encouraging signs.
“I think we’re constantly getting better. I think there’s a lot of new, as we all know—wide receivers, running backs, and a quarterback, and the offensive lineman, and all these different parts and things like that,” Williams said. “Yes, we do need to get it going a little more efficiently than we are.”
Roschon Johnson was a reason for some optimism in the Bears rushing attack in his first game action of the season, as D’Andre Swift’s issues continued.
“I bring a physical style, but also a style that can make one or two miss in a subtle way—nothing really too flashy, but something that’s real physical, downhill—just make the right decisions and go,” Johnson said.
Coach Matt Eberflus discussed Swift, saying: “I think rushing the ball is everybody’s thing. You know, it’s kind of like protection. You know, we’ve got to create the holes for everybody. We’ve got to move people. You know, the scheme’s got to be right for that particular runner. So I think it’s everybody.”
Starting right tackle Darnell Wright didn’t practice because of a back issue. If he can’t go, Matt Pryor, who started at right guard Sunday, is one of the options. But Matt Eberflus said he doesn’t want to move too many guys around, saying they don’t want musical chairs on the line.
