Roy Williams is facing heavy criticism in Chicago for dropped passes and overall shoddy play in the preseason, and he may lose his spot in the starting offense.

But he hasn’t lost his confidence.

Williams said he and Bears quarterback Jay Cutler are working on their chemistry and will be a great pass-catch combination this season.

It’s getting there,” Williams said, via John Mullin of CSNChicago.com. “It’s not day one, it’s not day 365 but we’re getting there. And one day it’ll be magic.”

The problem for the Bears is that they want Williams to be a major contributor to their offense from Day One, not just “one day.” And Day One of the regular season is less than two weeks away. Williams needs to show off some of that magic soon.
