Bears coach Dennis Allen emphasizes teamwork as the team faces a crucial test against the Eagles on 'Black Friday'. The defensive coordinator has been impressed with his backup linebackers, particularly D'Marco Jackson, who played key role in Sunday's win.
Allen noted that studying for games is not something you can do just before practice. "You can't do that in one week," he said. "You do that throughout the course of the entire season with how you prepare every week and how you study the game plan and how you pay attention in the meetings."
However, Allen also emphasized that it's not just about individual preparation but also teamwork. The coach feels that everybody in his team should be prepared to contribute and help each other.
The Bears' defensive unit has been facing some injuries, particularly with linebackers T.J. Edwards and Noah Sewell out for practice on Tuesday due to hand and hamstring issues respectively, while Ruben Hyppolite II will miss the game after hurting his shoulder.
However, backup linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga may be able to step in and help secure a crucial win against the Eagles on "Black Friday." The coach praised Ogbongbemiga for playing well on special teams during Sunday's match against the Steelers.

I'm so frustrated with these Bears 
! They're always coming up short when it really matters. I mean, they gotta be all about that teamwork life now 
. It's like, can't we just focus on one guy for once? 
D'Marco Jackson is killing it out there and I want to see more of him! 
But noooo, the coach has to go and praise all these backup linebackers too 
. It's like, Amen Ogbongbemiga, step up! 
Can't we just have a solid game plan for once? 
This is gonna be a close one 
with all these injuries on defense idk how they're gonna hold up against the eagles but i think allen's right about teamwork being key we gotta remember that when we're watching games or playing our own sports it's not just about individual skill, it's also about how well you work together as a team 
so yeah let's hope amen ogbongbemiga can step in and help the bears pull off this win on black friday 
. Coach Allen's on the right track with teamwork, though - everyone should be prepared to contribute, not just individual players 
! It makes sense, you can't just rely on one or two players to win games, everyone needs to be on the same page and ready to contribute 
. But Amen Ogbongbemiga stepping in is a good sign, I've been hearing good things about him from other fans 
! Fingers crossed they can pull off that win on Black Friday 
and it's crazy how injuries can affect a team like that. But what really gets me is Dennis Allen's point about teamwork - you can't just focus on individual prep, gotta work together as a unit. I've seen this in my own life too, when I was working, we had to rely on each other to get things done. And now, it seems like some of the backup linebackers are stepping up with D'Marco Jackson and Amen Ogbongbemiga being key players
