literally nothing in that video is critical of nagy
That would require another video...a long one. Check ANY of the Tape Never Lies to find weekly examples.
literally every one of these guys that has done a deep dive on the bears to talk about Fields has come away being like, ya know the system is fine. Very good offenses run all this same shit
I really believe that the truth is somewhere in between. Clearly Trubs & Foles were pretty far below average. Each probably coulda/shoulda been better but a few things were stacked against them. ALL of which were VERY NECESSARY for them to rise above their flaws however:
- shit OL play, esp. at the Ts (injuries and backup IOL also hurt)
- run game not evening out the offense. Nagy got away from it in games, but without Cohen, D Monty got more volume last season than most realize. Run game was stuffed with zero threat of deep ball. Nagy uses pass to open up run. Never happened despite DM's courageous efforts.
- Nagy being the other BIG FACTOR. He just couldn't work around the faults in the shitty QB & OL play. He's just not wired that way. Perhaps his offense isn't designed to. He's stubborn & inflexible as proven by him not giving up play-calls until basically forced to when his seat was on fire, losing 6 in a row.
We can only hope that with better OL play, Nagy can field a decent offense. If not, Fields stays & he's gone.
Get the popcorn ready MJ.
