Analysis: From the play reps for Cole Kmet to only 14 carries by running backs and 80 total rushing yards, the Bears offense left a great deal to defend and their coach made the attempt.
Considering how far down into a hole the Bears fell on offense to start the season, they seem awfully reluctant to define the reasons 148 total yards happened.
“I thought the efficiency was solid. We've had better efficiency in the past and we're looking forward to getting that this week.”The 19-yard sack does not come out of the running game totals in pro football. It comes out of your net passing. The 80 total rushing yards with 36 coming from quarterback Caleb Williams or receivers moves the Bears offense out of the physical category and into one absorbing punishment.
“We had 11-personnel where he was in, and then when G was in, so it was the way the rotation happened,” Eberflus said.“Do we want to get Cole involved in the game plan more in terms of catches and point of attack blocking and all those things? Yes, we do,” Eberflus said. “We're looking for our formula for success on offense. That's going to take a little bit of time in terms of distributing the ball to the skill more evenly. We're working to do that this week.
