The early part of training camp will be important from the standpoint of further analysis for coaches as they look at what the Bears might still need to round out the roster, especially on defense. It’s a defense highly rated last year before a few key injuries to Andrew Billings and Jaquan Brisker occurred, one transitioning to slightly more man-to-man coverage with a different emphasis on technique by linemen. It’s not just Byard’s age they need to look at, but whether he can be effective in this scheme as the deep safety. In the last full season Dennis Allen ran this scheme, the Saints wound up in single-high safety 53% of plays.
