The Chicago Bears open their first season under coach Matt Eberflus on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers at Soldier Field. As kickoff approaches, here’s our snapshot look at the game.
, who didn’t play last year in the 49ers’ 33-22, Jimmy Garoppolo-led win over the Bears and will make only his third career start. He has experienced targets at his disposal, including last year’s 1,405-yard receiver Deebo Samuel, but not a lot of experience himself.
“I hope none of you all expect him to win every rep versus Nick Bosa in a game,” Fields said. “He knows he’s not going to win every rep. You’ve just got to move on and focus on the next play. As for the rest of the Bears offensive line, Getsy still wasn’t ready Thursday to reveal the plan for starters at center and right guard since Lucas Patrick returned. Sam Mustipher could stay at center if Patrick’s snapping abilities are limited with a cast, so the question would become whether the Bears feel more comfortable with Teven Jenkins or Patrick at right guard.“We’ve got a couple days to figure out exactly where we want to go with that,” Getsy said. “We feel good.
“You’ve just really got to stay ahead of it,” Eberflus said. “You stay ahead of the play. … You don’t wait for the situation to show up. You stay ahead of the situation. Then it’s more manageable that way to make a good decision — what you see as a good decision in the moment.”[Don't miss] Column: Matt Eberflus’ defense was the NFL’s toughest on 3rd down last year, one scout says.
