What is the one thing that you are looking forward to from the Bears this season? Any questions you have for the team going into Thursday’s game?

I’m most excited to see the development of Vic Fangio’s defense in Year Two of the program. Fangio came in last season with a bunch of 4-3 guys and had to mold them into a 3-4 scheme. The Bears brought in a bunch of new guys and have a year in this system under their belts. I’ll be curious to see how rookie Leonard Floyd is used and whether he can be a difference making pass rusher. You guys in Denver know about that and what a game changer a dominant pass rusher can be to the other ten guys on defense.

On the other side of the ball, I’m looking forward to see how our redshirt freshman Kevin White looks. He lost his 2015 season to a stress fracture and essentially adds another first round draft pick to the 2016 class. If White can live up to his top 10 draft status, pairing him with Alshon Jeffery (who’s in a contract year while playing under the franchise tag) could give Jay Cutler a dynamic duo of wide receivers.
