So Family Night is a tradition we love. It's a night of training camp, not a game. But after the off-season has dragged on forever, Soldier Field is welcoming us back. The players are in full uniform, pads, and helmets - we are, most definitely, ready for some football!
At Family Night, we got a chance to see some of the new players, and to check on how the old favorites were shaping up for the season. There were some standouts to be sure. Kyle Long, our top draft pick, was looking sharp. He seems very motivated, which is just what we need. Martellus Bennett also looked good, along with Alshon Jeffrey - just the threats we need on the field to take some of the heat off Marshall and Forte. Both of them looked excellent. There were a lot of good things on the field that night, but what kept getting my attention was the new head coach, Trestman. He wasn't just standing on the sidelines working on his crossword puzzle. He was working closely with his players. And those two words, "his players" spoke volumes about the bonds he was building with them. They are going to really come together as a team, and it's showing on the field.
That's Trestman, right on the number 40, watching the line as Cutler takes a snap. I've got a good feeling about him. :)
