Generally, the only thing that matters in a first preseason game is how quickly we get to the final whistle and the health of all involved when it arrives. But this Bears team is different in a number of ways, and it's possible the preseason opener tonight at Carolina will be, too.
Regardless of which players he's coaching, it will be Marc Trestman's first time in the driver's seat on an NFL sideline, and I'm sure we'll form certain impressions that will stick with us for a while. Nothing is worth the ridiculous ticket prices NFL teams charge for these exhibitions, but it will be well worth our time to observe how the new sheriff in town runs the show.
More than that, though, what fascinates me about this Bears team is I can't remember the last time the Bears entered the first preseason game with so many starting positions up for grabs.
