BOURBONNAIS, Ill. – While morning fog was rising along I-57, the intensity of things at Olivet Nazarene University, the Bears were only going into shelling for their final public practice before they return to Canton for Baltimore Ravens on Thursdays. Tuesday's practice will be a light step-by-step procedure. It's a week of play, after all.
Matt Nagy described Monday's practice as more important mentally for the players, although we have still seen some impressive physical moments – especially when Adam Shaheen beat Bryce Callahan and Michael Joseph for touchdowns in red areas of seven against seven. We've already seen it before at Shaheen's (as in the OTAs a year ago), and as always, its growth will be tied to what he can do with the pads.
These seven-seven exercises produced most ooohs and ahhhs of the day. We saw Mitch Trubisky show some good connections with Allen Robinson a few times and shoot a handful of perfectly timed strikes to Tarik Cohen who, yes, did another backflip after entering the end zone.
"These are the late-night practices, coming on the field, doing one-on-ones and having that timing and you and the quarterback being on the same page," Cohen said. , "and the end product, you get a touchdown."
Cohen, too, terrorized safety rookie Nick Orr in one-on-one exercises with juke-play moves to find himself largely at the bottom of the field. What is clear is that, mentally, Cohen is more than able to handle the responsibilities entrusted to him by Nagy and Mark Helfrich. Put him in the back office, in any position of receiver, turner, quarterback, whatever – he even downplayed the mental workload that he has to learn everything it. Maybe because it's not so disheartening for a guy with a work ethic and football intelligence to be hired laudably.
"I do not think that necessarily makes a lot of it," says Cohen. "I only have a number of games at each position.It's not like I'm learning the full game at every post, which makes my job a lot easier."
This kind of attitude did not go unnoticed by a coaching staff who was quickly drawn to the playmaker.
"He's great," Helfrich said. "It's fun to coach. That's a guy, literally, you can tell him no matter what – to line up in any position, he'll do it with an incredibly good attitude, a giant smile on his face and run 4.3. It's amazing how many places he has never lined up before, and you say, "Hey, it's like that", and he goes out and does it. It's priceless, to be able to plug in and play a guy like that, who has the kind of features that he has with the ball in his hands. It is rare. "
Your daily update of Roquan is that …
… There is nothing new to report # 58 is still not there, and after Sam Darnold joined the New York Jets on Monday, Smith is the first-round first choice of 2018 not yet signed, while ESPN's Dan Graziano released a Chronicle on the Bears to explain how they handled Smith's situation
Ryan Pace joined ESPN1000's "Kap & Co." on Monday at the Bourbonnais and did not directly answer questions that he asked Smith, his colleagues David Kaplan and Pat Boyle of NBC Sports Chicago, but he said: [19659002] "Sometimes all the details may not be complete. We will work through this and we will do it the right way with agents we respect, with a player we respect. "
Pace refused to say there is a deadline for Smith to enter the camp to be ready for the regular season, but reminded that Smith's information on football were one of the reasons why the team had drafted him in eighth place overall in April. The point, then, being: Smith should be able to pick up things quickly every time that he joins the team.
Ryan Pace, at @thekapman and @BoyleNBCS when asked when he is confident, Smith will be signed and ready for the season: "People learn about the timeframes of the result, it's not He understood the interest but he wants people to respect the process."

We will be interested to hear that Vic Fangio, who is not one at BS with the press, has to say about the whole situation when he talks to the media after Tuesday's practice.
