Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields is tackled by Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Joe Tryon-Shoyinka during the first quarter at Raymond James Stadium on Sept. 17, 2023, in Tampa, Florida.
1. Getsy was unfazed by the hubbub that amplified Wednesday after Fields openly acknowledged his struggles and pointed to an overflow of information from coaches as part of the cause. Regarding the volume of information Fields has had to digest and apply inside games, Getsy pointed to Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as particularly challenging with the number of different looks and pressures Fields had to account for from Todd Bowles’ defense.
“That comes from playing. That comes from the experience. It’s the job of the coach to give the information, let them absorb it and then go out and practice it and try it and do it each week. And I think each week he handles it much better.” So no, it hasn’t caught Getsy off guard that Fields has not only struggled in the first two games of the season but that he has been agitated by those struggles while looking for remedies.[Don't miss] 12 numbers that matter as Chicago Bears prepare to face Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs — and Patrick Mahomes“As we talk about his evolution, he’s becoming an NFL quarterback,” Getsy said.
