NFL broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit strongly commends Bears roster moves, Matt Eberflus

It's been quite the transformative offseason for the Bears.

They drafted Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze, acquired Keenan Allen, D'Andre Swift and Kevin Byard, and overhauled their coaching staff. The Bears are set for an exciting season and NFL/College broadcaster Kirk Herbstreit recognized their improvements on "The Pat McAfee Show."

"The moves, of course, they made with DJ Moore last year, picking up Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze comes over in the draft," Herbstreit said. "And then you put a lot on what the rookie quarterback's gonna do in Caleb Williams.

"There is a lot there, to me, to think that the Bears kind of a team when you get to Week 3, Week 4, Week 5 and you think 'What the hell happened to the Bears?' Now, that's putting a lot on Caleb. But at least they put a lot more pieces around him than Justin had to work with. I'm excited to see what happens there.

One of the Bears' biggest changes they made actually wasn't a change. In a season filled with failures and controversy in the coaching department, Bears GM Ryan Poles showed his appreciation for Matt Eberflus by retaining him, yet dismissing most of the offensive coaching staff.

That's a move that Herbstreit respected greatly.
