New Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen is already making waves in camp, with his complex scheme giving Chicago’s offense fits. If early signs hold, the Bears' defense could be primed for a major turnaround in 2025.

After another disappointing season in 2024, the Chicago Bears went on a mission this offseason to change things. General Manager Ryan Poles set out to change the morale and atmosphere around Halas Hall.

One of the biggest additions to Johnson's coaching staff, Allen brings a veteran voice, experience, and respected resume to assist with Johnson's first time as a head coach. Having a long-tenured coach that excels on defense like Allen does on his staff, could only be beneficial for Johnson who is most known for his high-powered offensive mindset.
