Thoughts and Observations Week 3
-Washington is a bad defense, but they do not have some players who can play the game, so I do not think finally getting the offense going against them is a hollow victory.
-This was a much better game plan from Nagy and we started to see more WRs that were schemed open, more mismatches, and more defenders put in bad positions. I did not like how conservative they were in the 3rd quarter, but he is playing to win the game and not have a huge offensive game and in tight games that will be useful.
-Mitch was good. He wasn't perfect. But, if we are going to kill him when he is bad then we should give him credit when he was good. I only had issues with 2 throws and those were the interception, obviously that was a hideous throw and the deep in cut to Montgomery in the 2nd quarter that he air mailed. It was nice to see him be more aggressive and we can only hope that this gets his mojo going and we can build off of it. If this is the base performance [obviously not the stat line], but how he played that would be super positive. Still needs to get his mechanics tightened up and get a little more consistent.
-David Montgomery is good. The OL is bad. Imagine what he would do with actual holes and not guys just standing up at the line and getting pushed around.
-The Bears need to get Tarik Cohen more involved. They are handing him the ball more, but where are those super effective option routes out of the backfield? The move he put on Landon Collins was mean spirited.
-Finally, another Bears WR showed some life. Gabriel had a nice game and the catch in the end zone was really nice work. That connection needs to continue to develop.
-Allen Robinson is so good in the middle of the field. I like what Nagy did moving him around early and using him short and early to get Mitch dialed in and string some completions together.
-Anthony Miller go up with 2 hands. The deep sideline throw on the free play could have been a better ball, but a lot of WRs in the league make that catch. Dive, go out with 2 hands, make a play and help out your QB. He did the same thing later on a 15 yard deep out route where Mitch probably hummed to fast a pass in there, but 1 hand gave him no shot.
-Give me more Javon Wims please. Trubisky seems to trust him and the huge catch radius is something the Bears can use in tight situations.
-I will comment more on the OL when I re-watch the game, but first impressions.
-Charles Leno was better, but he started at worst player on offense not named Mitch so an improvement was the base of what we could expect.
-I am starting to questions this Whitehair-Daniels switch. On paper it made sense, but neither has looked as good as they did last season. But they did it and are pot committed now.
-Kyle Long has been bad this season. He was unwatchable bad last night. He was routinely abused by Ionnadis in the passing game and in the run game missed defenders and was pulling late in the game like a broken mule limping around. He might be done.
-I was mad when Cornelius Lucas made the team, but he was solid last night. Ryan Kerrigan is a legit pass rusher and we did not hear a ton from him.
-Trey Burton with a little life. This is where I think the most improvement can come from on offense as he gets more involved.
