Ryan Poles said he is ready for the challenge and hopes to make the Bears winners again.

"We are going to build through the draft," Poles said. "We are going to acquire young, fast and physical football players. We are going to be selective in free agency. We are going to connect evaluation with valuation. We are going to have a relentless approach to fix our weakness."

"We will play at a high tempo, a high effort, attacking physical style built upon speed, quickness and explosive athletic ability," coach Eberflus said. "We will carry ourselves with an attitude of energy, passion and intensity. We will play with maximum effort on every play."

Both men said they are going to make this team hustle, and work with maximum intensity. Coach Eberflus also said to the players to get their track shoes on because they will be running.
