Jared Allen wastes little time making impact felt on Chicago Bears' defense (Shutdown Corner)

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. — Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery might have been the Chicago Bears players earning the loudest cheers during the first training-camp practice of the summer, but after the session was over the fans' biggest ovations were reserves for Jared Allen.
Bears fans embracing a once-disliked foe shows you just how much this group is desperate for defensive improvement.
Allen, for his part, wasn't exactly sure when the end of his first training-camp session actually would arrive.
"Long, goodness," Allen said of head coach Marc Trestman's nearly three-hour session. "I flashed back to [former Chiefs] Coach [Dick] Vermiel. Three hours? Woah!
"But, no, it was great."

You can count on Allen for a few things, if nothing else: honesty, intensity and sacks, often spiked with his patented rodeo flourish at the end. Like clockwork, he has delivered those in equal doses with his two previous teams, the Chiefs and Minnesota Vikings, over his 10-year career.
Frankly, the Bears need some of what Allen has based on their last season's results. A town steeped in defensive lore was gobsmacked by the unit's horrific run fits, lackluster rush and shoddy tackling. The defense also lacked its trademark snarl as the Bears watched the Green Bay Packers steal the NFC North crown on their home field in Week 17.
The Bears' offseason centered chiefly on getting better on all three levels of the defense. Allen clearly is a big part of that design.

Jared Allen insists it's about more than just one player when it comes to the Chicago Bears and their defense. ''They do some things similar - how they approach practice,'' defensive tackle Stephen Paea said. |

Going into his ninth year coaching the Packers, Mike McCarthy isn't averse to changing things up. After two injury-filled seasons, an alteration is coming to how Green Bay prepares for games. ''This is the first time the schedule is changing in nine years,'' McCarthy said Friday as the Packers reported to camp. It's another noticeable tweak following a 2013 season in which the Packers finished 8-7-1 and won a third straight NFC North title before losing at home in a wild-card game to the San Francisco 49ers. |
