Bears #6.
This doesn’t account for our biggest problem which is having the right assignments.
Davis has been out a ton, Larry Borom has been the left tackle half the season because of injury and we just benched whitehair, it’s likely the methodology here is flawed. Pff for example has detroit at 1 and here theyre at 12
The OL has played well at times but overall has not been consistently good. They’re terrible at blitz pickups and miscommunications are common place. Now if Davis and Jones were healthy all year, things may have been different but Whitehair, Patrick and Borom have been terrible.
Our oline is good in pass protection, but penalties and shit center play hurt them. It’s obvious that Fields has taken sacks when he shouldn’t have. Bagent doesn’t take sacks, but he doesn’t have arm talent.
No way Detroit’s line is ranked that low.
This report is horse shit 🤣
Early season plan was for JF to play behind the full strength OL using pocket passing principles to take advantage of his great deep ball strength. Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth as they say…our OL came out with the likes of Patrick and Whitehair starting and Carter subbing in. With Teven and Davis unavailable.
They got worked. JF was abused with an OL not able to provide a clean pocket. He goes down with injury and in steps Bagent. Finally Getz changed the plan and went slant heavy to take advantage of Bagent’s quick trigger but lesser deep ball accuracy. It worked….mostly. The OL held up and provided a clean pocket when not asked to do too much. Now enter this week. Full OL strength and JF at QB. Let’s see how it goes - I expect a blend of both playbook styles depending on how well our OL keeps the pocket clean for JF. It may depend on just how healthy that thumb is too.2.66 average pocket time doesn’t seem like a lot when you’re trying to attack the field vertically, which is what you should be trying to with fields
