I don't really get why there is so much confusion or lack of understanding around Nagy's overall conservative playcalling on O.
To me it seems really obvious.
1. Bears have the best D in the NFL
2. Nagy lacks confidence in his QB
3. Run blocking is shit on obvious run downs with obvious run plays
4. Bears have the best D in the NFL
I am not absolving Nagy from some of the weirder shit he does, but more broadly - to me, this is Nagy pulling way back to cover up problems with the OL and the QB.
When you see how he calls games, the message is clear. Bears think aggressive QB play presents a net negative in a risk/benefit analysis.
It's frustrating to watch, especially since it is a regression from last year.
But people have to know that this is not how Nagy wants to run his O, right? It has to be frustrating to him too, tho he can never show it.
I mean, isn't it obvious that this all stems from working around some severe personnel limitations?
