Chicago Bears fans, let’s get something straight: There’s absolutely nothing to worry about with Caleb Williams. At least, not after only three training camp practices with a new head coach and a new offensive system.

No, there’s no reason — none whatsoever — to be concerned that Williams threw two interceptions in Friday’s practice. Or that he’s missing downfield targets much like he did as a rookie in 2024.

Instead, listen to offensive coordinator Declan Doyle, and why he basically says, ‘there’s nothing to see here.’

It’s clear that the Chicago Bears are building this offense in stages. And it’s beginning with step one: break the huddle the right way and line up properly.

Caleb Williams is in early stages of learning Bears’ offense

“The biggest thing is with the pre-snap process,” Doyle said. “Feeding him a play call and getting in the huddle, getting in and out, communicating what he needs to with his teammates. He’s really working at it. That’s the biggest improvement I’ve seen. It’s all a progression.

“We’ve got to continue to get better post-snap and all those things with his vision and where the ball needs to go. But that’s the biggest thing — his ability to communicate to his teammates, his ability to get in and out of the huddle. And he’s working at it.”

This can’t be overstated. While sending in a play call, breaking a huddle, and lining up correctly may seem like a basic and simple thing an NFL offense should do, it isn’t. It takes repetition to become perfect. And it’s obvious the Bears are focusing on the start of a play more than they are the results right now.

As for those results?

“We’re going to watch the tape with these guys this afternoon and clean up some of the intricate details of what we’re asking them in the red zone,” Doyle said. “It does get very precise down there as far as the spacing and the timing of concepts, and that takes work.”

In other words, patience will be a virtue when it comes to reacting to the Chicago Bears’ training camp practices. Epecially these early ones. Mistakes should happen; they’re simply opportunities for Caleb Williams to learn.

And learn he will.
