Chicago Bears Monthly Mailbag: Offensive line, trade deadline, and more
By Usayd Koshul
3. Nagy’s playcalling and management of the passing offense
Super confident. Let’s be honest here: The Bears aren’t ready to give up on Trubisky yet and they shouldn’t. More specifically, Nagy hasn’t shown any signs of giving up on Trubisky either which means he’s the Bears quarterback for the rest of 2019.
This means that for the rest of 2019, the Bears offense will only be as good as the Nagy-Trubisky relationship is. Each week, although it may not seem like it, Nagy seems to give Trubisky more than he can handle. This is important because it means their relationship is growing.
Nagy’s problem, as we all know, is that he gets too cute with the playcalling sometimes. However, with the offensive line looking like it’s in sync with Kyle Long now gone, David Montgomery needs to be the guy that Nagy turns to when the Bears are leading to run the clock out. It’s when the Bears are leading that Nagy starts to go a little overboard with playcalling which leads to the offense shooting themselves in the foot.
There’s 11 games for Nagy and Trubisky to change the course of the Bears offense. All Nagy needs to do is call the plays that Trubisky is comfortable with and continue to develop his knowledge of the offense. By the end of the season, the two need to be totally comfortable with each other for the Bears to make a deep playoff run that results in a Super Bowl win.
