For the previous hour-plus, Fields’ new general manager, Ryan Poles, and his new head coach, Matt Eberflus, shared their philosophies and collective vision for getting the Chicago Bears back on track. But for Fields, the final day of January offered a bit of a rebirth.
“(We) worked on a few things and just kind of go back and have a little reboot on D-zone coverage, neutral-zone forecheck, just to refresh their memories,” Hawks coach Derek King said after the morning skate. “As players, you can forget things or get lazy or get some bad habits.”
“I’m just still going through the process that I said I was going through,” Brady said Monday night on his SiriusXM podcast. “Sometimes it takes some time to really evaluate how you feel, what you want to do, and I think when the time is right, I’ll be ready to make a decision, one way or the other, just like I said last week.”
“Super intense, just from this high,” Eberflus said, putting his hand just above the floor. “But over the years, I’ve learned how to harness that for good. Intensity can be not a good thing, so I’ve learned how to move that in with kindness.
“It just kept growing and growing and growing, and that mentality, as much as we struggled as a team, I called Scott and was really emotional because that foundation was huge to getting me here today,” Poles said. “That mental toughness, doing things the right way with discipline, if I didn’t have that, I definitely wouldn’t be here.”

“That’s our conversations: What do we have coming up, what do we need and where are we going with this? But other than that, it’s just been, you know, stay positive, stay energy, keep upbeat, play these kids, let them feel their way and still, within reason, try to win some hockey games.”
We want an attacking effort-based offense that has great mental focus and intensity and we’re going to measure every single one of those. Obviously, taking care of the ball is the most important thing and then being smart in their situations, being smart, presnap, postsnap and understanding the game of football. And it’s our job as coaches to educate that. So in terms of like philosophy of offense, sure, I want an attacking style, scoring points, protecting the football. Those are things that we’re working through with the staff. We just hired staff member here now. We’ll get to work soon that. So that’s what we’re going to do.
“You only have so many weather days built into the schedule,” said Shiffrin, who once again plans to participate in slalom, giant slalom, downhill, super-G and Alpine combined. “At the end of the day, you can make every move right. You can be rested and ready to go strong. And it still can be totally messed up for, essentially, reasons that are completely out of your control. I don’t really love that idea.”
