I think the Bears are in store for some subtle shifts, nothing drastic. There wasn’t a ton of difference from what Vic Fangio did to what Pagano did. In the history of defensive coordinator changes, my experience is the masses always clamor for the next guy to be more aggressive than the previous one. Blitz more. Pressure more.

Desai was groomed by Fangio, who isn’t a big blitz guy. Fangio picks his spots to bring pressure, and the Bears were never among the league leaders in rushing five or more defenders when he was in charge. With the kind of money the Bears have invested in Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn — and Akiem Hicks for that matter — they shouldn’t have to dial up an abundance of blitzes to create routine pressure. The Bears used plenty of stunts and games up front last season, and I am sure we will see those again.

“It’s undesirable, but I understand this topic is important to everybody that cares about the game. And in regards to Josh specifically, I mean, I kind of felt it was a bit of a low-hanging fruit, but he’s entitled to his opinion, and, you know, to voice his opinion,” Cole said. “I just have other things that I need to keep my focus on. So, respectfully, I can’t worry about that type of stuff. But I would say that, as a member of the Executive Council in the Union, and part of my job, part of my role there is to facilitate communication about really all things involving the game and, I’m open to doing that, it’s part of my role. So if anyone has a concern regarding anything, we’re always available to reach out and can talk to if there needs to be some clarification and whatnot.”

“The biggest edge is you just love the competition,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said of Hendriks before Tuesday’s game. “Just imagine sitting there, it’s a close game.
