Bears’ new elements of speed on offense evident in first minicamp practice



"The Chicago Bears have done a lot to retool their offense this offseason. From the additions of quarterbacks Justin Fields and Andy Dalton to releasing both starting tackles in Charles Leno and Bobby Massie, Chicago has made the offense a priority this offseason.
But perhaps the biggest emphasis has been adding more speed on offense. While Darnell Mooney didn’t get enough chances to take the top off defenses with his speed last season, he was getting open downfield — he was just usually being overthrown."

I could be wrong, but I think Dalton will have the same problem.

The Bears have been one of the slowest teams in the NFL on offense for quite some time now

The team NEEDED to be slow in order for Mitch and Nick to have adequate processing time. Kind of like doing a walkthrough, but in the GAME.

I think you're wrong but i could be wrong.

Anyways im totally shocked by this news. I never would have realized that they would put focus on more speed after they signed a bunch of really fast guys. thanks.

I'm hearing that Dalton is hitting the deep pass in practice. This bodes well.

It's fine that they signed two 'track' stars to work alongside Mooney.

At least we know that Mooney can use his speed during the game.

Of course we have two tackle positions that are uncertain and that directly affect the time Dalton or Fields will have before needing to throw the ball.

They clearly don’t want to be slow and soft anymore.

I could be wrong, but Nagy still needs to find a way to utilize this speed. Is he just going to be throwing more screens or finding ways to take the top off the defense?

And you see how bad they are at running.

Check down to touchdown. So basically, more jet sweeps to the short side of the field and timeouts to kill offensive advantages so a neat play could be called

I really hope Nagy figures it out. His playcalling rhythm has always been an issue. So frustrating to watch.

I'm fascinated to see how he calls game this season. It's gonna be hella interesting.

I hope so too man. Extremely frustrating. I don’t have much faith in it happening but would be thrilled to eat crow

Yeah, I mean it’ll definitely be interesting for everyone to watch. But it’s like watching a train about to collide with a pedestrian. You know how it’s going to end. We are the pedestrian. Nagy is the train

Instead of focusing on deep speed, the Bears offense should center around 3-5yd routes and Cohen running up the middle.

CCS forums read like abuse victims in a therapy group.

Well, I suppose that makes sense.

Don’t know whether to laugh or cry at this…

This is most likely what we will see. It's 3rd and 3, lets run a draw up the middle with the smallest RB in the game. The other team will never see it coming!
