Jeffery Simmons has only been a Bear for a week, but he’s already made a big impact.
Bears coach Ben Johnson was asked today what has changed now that Simmons, the All-Pro defensive tackle, is on the team. Johnson said it’s easy to see.
“I think it’s been pretty dramatic. I think you saw it in the game last week. There’s no question about that,” Johnson said of Simmons’ impact.
Johnson went on to discuss the importance of players who play great on the field during games, but also exude greatness in everything they do during the week.
“We continue to preach to our guys the consistency of how we go about our business, what we do in the building and what we do on game day. That’s what good teams do. Really, that’s what great teams do is bring that same fluid an energy during the week and into the game as well,” Johnson said.
The Bears hope the addition of Simmons will be the difference between being a good team and a great team.
