One mystery of the Shane Waldron offense appears to have been revealed with satisfactory results. That would be how they plan to use the tight ends. The first p
The first preseason game probably can't say as much for it as the practices on a daily basis but did provide insight into how the offense will flow. Tight end Cole Kmet sees now how it can all work.
It was difficult coming in to envision how Waldron would find enough work for tight ends in the attack considering they have three wide receivers the caliber of Rome Odunze, Keenan Allen and DJ Moore. And in his last year at Seattle, Waldron had three similar wide receivers in DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba but tight ends had 47 fewer targets than in the previous season when he had two strong wide receivers.
Probably of more importance in the game and with regards the overall attack was the way the Bears ran the ball. Tight ends have big roles in blocking for the run and in training camp the success or failure doesn't always seem apparent because of the lack of contact. But full speed football made it more clear to the naked eye. The Bears averaged 5.7 yards for 15 carries.
You can’t tell me this guy isn’t good for the culture inside that Bears locker room. I want a new extension."Well, execution is No. 1," Kmet said. "Guys going to the right spots, lining up in the right areas, breaking the huddle correctly. So all of those things are really important and that's kind of what we are looking at right now, operationally."
