Chicago Bears fans are sick and tired of watching the team's offense struggle through three weeks, and so, too, are the players themselves.
A small group of offensive players on Chicago -- including Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, Cole Kmet, and Marcedes Lewis -- reportedly called a meeting with Bears offensive coordinator Shane Waldron this week to discuss the state of the offense.
The meeting was productive, according to the report provided by Sports Mockery's Erik Lambert.
"(The players) met with Waldron earlier this week to have a frank discussion about the direction of things," Lambert said. "They didn't hold back, either. The young coordinator praised them for their open and honest communication. When asked about what was said during the meeting, Lewis provided a snippet of the message he and others wanted to convey."
"From the oldest guy in the room -- being me -- to the youngest guy, don't feel like you can't coach us," Lewis said to Waldron, per Lambert.
"I want to be coached. I want to be great. ... We've all got to be doing the same things or everyone gets fired. Ego is suppoed to be left at the door. That's what it's about. He's very receptive to that."
"Sometimes, as the coach coming in, you might be walking on eggshells. I just kind of put that to bed. Nobody's sensitive in here. We want to win games just as bad as you do. It's a collaborative effort. This is not Pop Warner."
Waldron has been getting attacked in the press, but it appears that his players are standing behind him and making a proactive effort to right the ship under his leadership.
The schedule isn't providing Waldron and Chicago with any breaks. The Bears host the Los Angeles Rams at home on Sunday.
