And the new coaching staff is realizing something about Williams.<\/p>\n<p>He loves the two-minute drill.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018The best thing he does is the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/chicago.suntimes.com\/bears\/2025\/08\/02\/bears-qb-caleb-williams-declan-doyle-two-minute-drill-things-you-cannot-reach-nfl-training-camp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">unscripted stuff, the two-minute stuff<\/a>,\u2019\u2019 offensive coordinator Declan Doyle said Saturday, via Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times. \u2018\u2018[That\u2019s] where he\u2019s able to go out and really play and show the competitiveness that makes him who he is.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a fairly important stage of any NFL game.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018That\u2019s where he has an edge,\u201d Doyle added. \u201cHe\u2019s not going to allow you to sack him. He\u2019s going to evade. He\u2019s going to do things that you can\u2019t really teach at times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Case Keenum, who has been around the league for a long time, sees it too.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018The majority of games in this league come down to one possession,\u2019\u2019 Keenum said, via Finley. \u2018\u2018The great ones, they want the ball in their hand, and you can tell Caleb wants the ball in his hand in those moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018Two-minute is a drill where you can rely on guts and instincts, your past training and .\u2009.\u2009. the fire of competition and who\u2019s a competitor. There\u2019s certain guys, when the lights turn on, that switch just flips. And he\u2019s got that switch where he can turn it on. And I can\u2019t wait to watch it at Soldier Field and all over the league this year.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s two-minute period ended with a great play and a not-great one from Williams. After throwing a touchdown pass to tight end Cole Kmet, Williams misfired on a throw to receiver DJ Moore. It was intercepted by cornerback Nahshon Wright.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018\u2018We\u2019ll get it corrected,\u2019\u2019 Doyle said. \u2018\u2018And we won\u2019t make the mistake twice.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Fine, but mistakes will always happen. It\u2019s what a guy does after making one that matters. And if that opportunity comes for Williams in the inherent pressure of a two-minute offense, the mistakes will quickly be forgotten in the adrenaline of that moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is still getting acquainted with a new coaching staff.
