Seemed sustainable today haha (but i do agree, they need to let MT10 open it up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmike90 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 My concern with how we are limiting Trubisky is that it is so short sighted...I know Fox is fighting for his job but this is not setting us up for any kind of long term success.

It did work for Big Ben so I’m not totally opposed to it. He’s still learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've won the last two games because we have won the turnover battle. IMO that's why we made the switch from MG8 to MT10 Agreed, but almost everyone here knew Glennon was garbage and Trubisky was better, makes no sense to start Glennon at all if you're basically handing the ball off 80% of the time., We tried to win on Glennons arm for the first several games, now we have completely neutralized a more talented QB. Loggains has lost it. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lowest amount of passes that Ben threw his rookie season was 16 so not comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmike90 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 The other thing I would say about Trubisky is the gameplan is killing him...every team knows we are running on 1st & 2nd...meaning they are then teeing off on him on 3rd down...you have to mix it up a little to give the guy a chance...I don't remember seeing many roll outs today (outwith the one he nearly scored on) and not a single true bootleg...this is the kind of things you need to do with a rookie QB and frankly at this point we are letting the kid down.

Exactly. Play we should be doing RPO's with him, especially with the defenses coming down so hard on the run. RPO's screens, slants, a safe dump off with Cohen, etc. We should be able to have 1-2 receivers attack the intermediate game and a TE and HB as safety net. The playcalling is making it harder on ALL the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OL as much as anyone...our ZBS is all about getting guys on skates...but defenders are smart and know that we are running on early downs so don't try and penetrate...instead they stack making it tougher to move them then shed...then on 3rd down they don't need to play the run and are getting a jump on those guys...I think we have seen basic offences work in the NFL before...prime example is Jim Harbaugh who does nothing fancy...but scared offence never works.

51to54 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 So at this rate, even if Trubisky plays the rest of the season he'll only have 3-4 games worth of 'real' QB experience so he'll be going into 2018 as a near-rookie, instead of a full on rookie. Kind of a high price to pay to let Fox commi to saving his job by stunting Trubisky's growth. With 4 or so sacks on Trubisky, it's not like Fox is keeping Trubisky out of harm's way either. Well, at least the kid is 2-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
