Glaser: Caleb Williams, Bears players meet with OC Waldron to express frustration | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

Caleb Williams wants the Chicago Bears to play more aggressively.

Fox Sports' Jay Glazer reported Sunday that Williams and tight ends Marcedes Lewis and Cole Kmet met with offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and said they wanted the offense to be “more aggressive” after a 1-2 start.

Entering this season, Chicago ranks 30th in the league in yards per game (249.3) and 22nd in points per game (17.7) and has looked lost on offense at times.

During the loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 3, one stretch in particular stood out as the Bears ran goal-to-go inside the 5-yard line four straight times and failed to score a point. The 4th-and-goal play from the 1-yard line was particularly egregious, as Waldron called for a speed-option play to the short side of the field that lost 12 yards.

Indianapolis ended up winning the game by five points, so a touchdown in this scenario just before halftime could have changed the outcome of the game.

An adjustment period is certainly underway for the Bears, as Williams is in his first season as a rookie quarterback, while Waldron is in his first season as the team's offensive coordinator after previous stints with the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams.

Add to that new additions like D'Andre Swift, Rome Odunze, Keenan Allen and Gerald Everett, among others, and the offensive group is getting more comfortable with each other.

Chicago's offensive line also struggled in the first three games, causing Williams to struggle for time and take a number of hits. That's one reason he has two touchdowns to four interceptions and could be on the lookout for some changes on offense.

Offensive changes could lead to a quick turnaround.

The talent is there with DJ Moore, Odunze, Allen and Williams, and the next six games against the Los Angeles Rams, Carolina Panthers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington Commanders, Arizona Cardinals and New England Patriots aren't exactly daunting.

Making the playoffs in Williams' rookie season may be too much to ask, but the team could be a contender late in the year if they take advantage of the softer stretch. And it starts with making progress on the offensive side of the ball.
