Less than a year-and-a-half into their partnership, Bears general manager Ryan Poles and coach Ben Johnson can communicate without words.
When they’re watching film, the GM senses his coach’s body language. In a league that this week saw even the great Sean McVay stumble when trying to explain how he stays in lockstep with his GM, that's a great sign.
"It’s weird ...” Johnson said Saturday night. “I’ll sit next to Ryan when those scouts are in there and I almost feel like we can feel each other a little bit, which is unique for a couple guys that really haven’t done it together for a very long time yet. He and I view players very similarly, so I’m sure we do feed off each other a little bit.”
