In this video, we break down DJ Moore's candid comments following the Bears' tough loss to the Seahawks. For the first time, Moore spoke out about the “Sell the team” chants and shared his thoughts on the state of the Bears’ franchise. The Chicago Bears wide receiver reassures fans that while the team has struggled, the foundation is there, and with the right leadership, they can turn things around.
Moore’s comments gave us some much-needed hope after a season filled with frustration. He spoke about his support for Ryan Poles, the third-year GM, and voiced his thoughts on Pete Carroll potentially becoming the Bears' next head coach.
DJ Moore Calls Out Bears Fans:
DJ Moore wasn’t afraid to address the fans' frustrations. Reflecting on the "Sell the team" chants during the Bears vs. Seahawks game, Moore shared how the team hears it but can’t react in the heat of the moment. In a recent interview on 670 The Score, he said:
“You see it, but you really can’t have a reaction to it at the time. Because they’re our fans, they love us. Right now, we aren’t doing too well. I can understand their frustration. They paid good money to come see us play and win games, and we haven’t.”
Moore went on to reassure the fans that the team isn’t as far off as it seems:
“We’ve got the pieces, We’ve just got to be able to work well together.”
Moore acknowledged that while this year has been tough, there’s still hope for the future, noting the talent on the roster and the potential for improvement:
“This year, with the 10-game losing streak, people are watching and seeing how we’re losing and the pieces we have. It would be the best job to walk into, but also, it’s like, ‘Dang, what’s actually going to happen and how can I fix it?’”
Ryan Poles' Struggles:
DJ Moore also defended GM Ryan Poles when asked about his job security, stressing that Poles has done his part in assembling the roster. Moore believes the team’s current issues lie with execution, not the roster construction:
“I don’t think so,” Moore said when asked if he thought Poles’ job was in danger. “He put together a great roster. He’s been doing the best that he can. He can’t go out there and play for us. We got to do that and play for him.”
While Poles has made strong moves in the draft, like acquiring Moore and Fields, his struggles in bolstering the offensive line and defensive front seven have been glaring. The trenches are where games are won, and the Bears need improvement in both areas to become competitive again. As Poles looks toward the 2025 season, it’s clear that addressing these concerns will be crucial to his future with the Bears.
Pete Carroll: The Leadership the Bears Need?
DJ Moore also chimed in on the growing speculation about Pete Carroll as the next head coach of the Chicago Bears. When asked if Carroll could be a good fit, Moore praised his leadership and experience:
"He's respected, and he has done it at a high level,” Moore said about the Seattle Seahawks’ head coach. “Everybody would have to pay attention and listen. Because he has done it already.”
Moore emphasized the need for a leader who can unify the locker room and bring a solid game plan week in and week out:
“We’re all on the same page as far as getting somebody in here who’s going to lead this team in the right direction, have a solid game plan week in and week out and is just going to let it loose no matter what.”
Pete Carroll, with his impressive 137-69-1 record and two Super Bowl appearances (one win), could be the type of experienced leader the Bears need. While Carroll is primarily known for his defensive expertise, Moore’s comments reflect the desire for a coach who can command the locker room, create a winning culture, and develop players to reach their full potential.
Carroll’s Impact on the Bears Roster:
Proven leadership: Carroll's extensive experience and success in the NFL would bring a steady hand to the Bears’ coaching staff.
Player development: Carroll has a knack for developing young talent, which could be key for helping players like Justin Fields, DJ Moore, and others reach their full potential.
Culture shift: Carroll’s leadership could instill the right mindset and drive in the Bears’ locker room, fostering a culture of discipline and accountability.
