Bears

Bears HC Ben Johnson wants more than winning a Super Bowl. He wants to set records and become one of the most dominant teams ever.

“You’ve got 31 other teams coming to training camp saying, ‘Our goal is to win the Super Bowl,’” he said, via The Athletic. “I want more than that. I want to have the highest-scoring offense ever, which happens to be the 2013 Denver Broncos. I know how many points per game they scored (37.9), and I want to surpass them. I want shutouts. I want blowouts.”

Johnson added that he wants to break the Patriots’ streak for most consecutive wins.

“Why can’t we do that?” Johnson added. “There has never been an undefeated season (since teams have been playing more than 14 regular-season games). The moon is the Super Bowl, but we’re shooting beyond that, for the stars. And I want these players to feel that each and every single day they come in.”

Johnson added that he doesn’t typically involve himself too much in the quarterback room, but added that he’s impressed with how coachable that QB Caleb Williams is.

“If I go into the quarterbacks room and I’m hard on the starting quarterback, it typically breeds resentment more than it helps,” he says. “But you can break down barriers if it’s just the two of us and we can go back and forth and tell each other our versions of the truth. That’s where our defense mechanisms come down. And Caleb is extremely coachable. I wasn’t sure about that when I came here.”

Giants

Giants RB Najee Harris said he will have a chip on his shoulder joining the team, but even more than he normally would given that he is coming off of a torn Achilles.

“I most definitely go into every year with a chip on my shoulder, but more so much this year,” Harris said, via Pro Football Talk. “I have a lot to prove as somebody coming back from a torn Achilles. Really everything that I did in the past is in the past, and everything I do now is really what matters. I know there are going to be a lot of questions of how I’ll come back looking, and I’m ready to answer all those.”

Seahawks

Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon spoke about the new contract that made him the richest cornerback in NFL history, yet he still plans to be frugal with his money and is happy to keep playing with his Super Bowl-winning crew.

“Feels good, man,” Witherspoon said, via the team website. “Long time coming, but it feels good to get it done. When you’re coming in and coming to work with guys like D-Hall, (Derick Hall), EJ (Ernest Jones IV), Leo (Leonard Williams) and Murph (Byron Murphy II), it means everything to me,” he said. “It’s easy to take the pressure off you because now I know what they’re about and they know what I’m about. It’s just easy to come out here and focus on football.”

“I’m cheap with it now,” he said of his new deal. “Don’t ever get that confused. I’ll always be cheap with it, but I’m going to take care of the guys for sure. When it happens, it’s like that’s really real. It ain’t fake. But for me, it means a lot to me, but at the same time, it’s nothing to me at the same time because it’s like I got a team here, you feel me? And I’m trying to win though. So all that is love. I appreciate all that, but I’m focused on building with my team right now.”
