Mike Ditka thinks current Bears coach Marc Trestman is trying just a little too hard to make everyone feel special in Chicago.
In particular, the legendary coach has taken issue with Trestman's rotating captain policy. According to Iron Mike, the Bears don't have a player worthy of wearing the "C" for more than a game, anyway.
"That's because you don't have one," Ditka told the Sun-Times this week when asked about the floating leadership role. "If you had (a captain), he'd be the captain, and that would be it. That's all there is to it. When you see a leader, you don't have to look too much further. It is what it is. If he's the guy, then he's the guy they want to follow. I believe you should have a captain and a co-captain on offense and defense."
Brandon Marshall is trying to be that person, or is at least voicing his opinion the loudest these days, but maybe Ditka is right.
At 3-4, the Bears have a world of talent on offense, but don't seem to have a driving force leading them all each week.
