You see it every pass play.  The DBs crowding our receivers running step for step with them.  No cushion.

I really like Alan Robinson.  He's a very good possession receiver.  Great hands, great body control, but he's maybe a 4.6 guy.  Our speed receiver Taylor Gabriel just isn't producing.  10 yards a catch last year and only 2 scores on his 67 catches.  He's extremely fast but at 5-7 he doesn't have much of a catch radius.  This year 3 catches.  That's ridiculous for a starting receiver in the NFL today.  Not all his fault but that needs to improve.

There's something wrong with Anthony Miller that's not being shared (but I'm sure our opponents know).   He needs to get healthy or Bears need to start targeting Wims.  Wims has dominated in PS the last 2 years.  He's huge and can win those 50/50 balls and his speed is pretty good.

That's why I was all excited about the two FAs signed this offseason named named Hall - they were fast guys, but for whatever reason weren't good receivers and got cut.

Maybe the Bears need to face some really bad corners - cuz the ones we've seen so far have been shutting them down.

I watched highlights of Lamar jackson today on NFLN.  For what it is worth, it was against the Dolphins.  The Dolphins did a real soft rush where they waited for him to run.  I would say he had an easy unharassed 5 - 6 seconds per throw.  Of course you are going to find people... and they were wide open.  Allen Robinson, middle of the field for 25, open

Not sure what Lombardi interview you're talking about but he has hated Trubisky from the beginning.  Trubisky seems at his best when the game is in his hands.  Let him run to the point the defense has to dedicate a spy

They've shown a few times now where our recievers are getting open but Trubisky ain't seeing them or he's late with the ball and the defender has closed. This isn't just the recievers fault...

 davebear makes a good point. Trubisky and the offense were more dangerous when Mitch would run the ball more freely. That's the one aspect defenses have a hard time defending. Opens up other options. Nagy run Trubisky. Designed runs and run options,keep the defense on their heels. Just don't run like Jim McMahon with reckless abandon. That'll shorten your career although it's admirable. I loved Jim's competitiveness!

Sounds like there are going to be quite a few Bears fans there.

WML, did you go to the game?

Redskins 31, Bears 10?
