After watching “Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Chicago Bears,” it’s hard not to have a good feeling about this team.

Yes, the Bears are 0-0. The real season doesn’t start until Sunday at 1 p.m., when the team welcomes the Tennessee Titans to town.

But the good vibes have continued throughout the preseason, during which the Bears went 4-0. No. 1 draft pick, quarterback Caleb Williams, appears ready for prime time. The Bears appear to be well-matched on and off the field, as their chemistry is on full display heading into the season opener.

Take for example this interaction between star player Jaylon Johnson and rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze.

We’ll see if all this translates into regular season success soon enough, but for now, in the fifth and final episode of “Hard Knocks” we showed how the team wrapped up its pre-season preparation and trimmed down the roster to 53 players.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles spoke about that problem.

Poland was in the spotlight Tuesday for a number of reasons, of course. One of them was a particularly tough cut by defensive back Adrian Colbert, a seasoned veteran who has overcome tragedy, adversity and enormous obstacles in his life to become an NFL player.

Colbert did not make it to the last 53 and that was clearly an attack on the Poles.

What a moment from Ryan Poles. You see that his character and his care for his players is not an act.
And it’s impossible not to support Adrian Colbert.

Ultimately, the two parties parted on good terms.

Adrian Colbert on #Bears GM Ryan Poles, “Ryan’s been absolutely amazing. Such a great guy, such a great leader, very present with his players in creating this environment where players can be their full selves.” https://t.co/AgBBtyGuVw

Another was because the Bears received a trade offer for running back/wide receiver Velus Jones Jr., who eventually made the team. Chicago, however, made no move.

It’s clear that the team values ​​him highly.

Ultimately, it’s been nothing but good vibes for the Chicago Bears this preseason. Fans are, to say the least, excited.

Some #NFL Fans were upset about the lack of drama with the #Bears on #HardKnocksbut what drama is there with this team? It’s year 3 for a roster rewritten by Ryan Poles who values ​​character and professionalism in his players. This group is focused on winning, not drama.

#HardKnocks was a great season. The no swearing policy, seeing genuine compassion for injured players, the GM taking the time to criticize players who were fired. The franchise feels like it has the ship back on track. It feels great to be a #Bears fan. It’s time for continued success.

Just finished #HardKnocks It’s been a long time since I was so proud to have a @ChicagoBears fan. I loved seeing the relationships the players, coaches and owners have created this summer. There is something special going on in ChiTown! #BearDown

The episode, of course, ends with a shot of Williams centering himself during practice as the regular season rapidly approaches.

The time is almost here, as the Bears kick off against the Titans on Sunday at 1:00 PM (Eastern Time).
