PFF’s Brad Spielberger joins Ruthie Polinsky on Football Night in Chicago to talk about Bears CB Jaylon Johnson’s next contract
Matt Eberflus and the Bears aren't avid blitzers. But they have the personnel to get it done.
I don't need to tell you how well Jaquan Brisker emulates a Jamal Adams type to effectively blitz as a safety. But Kyler Gordon appears to be a smart, agile rusher, too.
Check out this blitz he executed against the Raiders last Sunday.
Gordon filthily ducked under a charging right tackle to free himself up instantly and rush the play. Unfortunately, the play was a wrap-around to Davante Adams heading in the opposite direction.
But imagine it came his way? He probably would've made the tackle for a sizeable loss.
Keep an eye out for the Bears' defensive backs. They're crafty on the blitz. Jaylon Johnson even told Parkins & Spiegel he improvised a blitz during the same game.
