Bears need to reboot camp Posted on November 19th
Three words would deliver the appropriate message to the Bears this week if Lovie Smith chose to write them on a grease board inside a meeting room at Halas Hall.
Welcome to Bourbonnais.
If it weren’t the middle of the fall semester, the Bears could move into the dorms for a few days on the campus of Olivet Nazarene University to drive the point home. When they resume practice Wednesday, it will take a training camp mentality to address the problems exploited in Sunday’s 37-3 blowout by the Packers.
If Smith really meant that the Bears needed to start over before a six-game season that will determine their playoff chances, then symbolically start over. Make November feel like July. Tape the players’ names on their helmets if it helps remind them of the desired tone. Increase the tempo of practices and, if necessary, the contact too.
