3. Even without Eddie Goldman, the Bears still have one of best defensive lines in NFL
This second episode shined a light on the defensive line, where they’re returning one of the best in defensive tackle Akiem Hicks but also losing nose tackle Eddie Goldman, who opted out of the season due to COVID-19. This episode brought us into the meeting room with defensive line coach Jay Rodgers, who demanded more from what remains one of the best defensive lines in the league.
Players like Hicks, defensive tackle Bilal Nichols and defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris have impressed during camp practices so far. While there’s no replacing someone like Goldman in the middle of that defense, you could sense the belief in the players in that room to do their best to compensate for Goldman’s lots.
