The Bears’ passing attack has been horrific this season. Darnell Mooney maintains steadfast belief that a turnaround is coming.
“I understand the process we have to go through with our offense, with everything being new and everybody still learning and trying to believe in the offense itself,” Mooney said. “It’s a process. It’s a journey that you just have to stay into it, and just believe and trust the process.”
Per Pro Football Focus, Bears receivers rank last in percentage of dropbacks in which they are deemed “open” or “wide open.”“I would just say continued improvement on the rhythm and timing of it,” head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday. “We got Mooney going last week. St. Brown’s done a good job to this point. We’ve just got to continue to the whole group, really just the rhythm and timing of the passing game, and I think it’s improving. I see it in practice and we saw glimpses of it last week.
Quarterback Justin Fields has been pressured in 49 percent of his dropbacks this season. When he’s had a clean pocket and let it rip, he has been good. The issue is he now seems hesitant to pull the trigger even when he does have time to deal.Facing a third-and-10 late in the second quarter, the Bears called an elementary four verticals play. Anyone who has played Madden, NFL Blitz, or any football game knows the four verts play.
