One of the media guys just asked Eberflus a really good question.. something to the effect of:

"When you and Getsy meet during the week, do you ever tell him 'This is how I would attack you'.. to kind of help analyze situations better?"

Eberflus said that those type of interactions happen all the time.

That's dope.

How Eberflus has helped Fields, Bears' offense grow, prepare

Having a well-traveled defensive voice as your head coach can be a huge asset in the offensive meetings.
www.nbcsports.com www.nbcsports.com


"Bears head coach Matt Eberflus, a brilliant defensive mind, has been a valuable resource for his young quarterback in the meeting rooms.

"I think you could help on defenses, on tells. Where guys are located, what they look like, what their demeanor is," Eberflus said Wednesday of how his background helps Fields. "I think you can do a lot of that. I think that's helpful.

"Also, the rules — the coverage rules people have in certain coverages. What's hard on the defense based on those rules. I think it's a dual education so to speak. He's learning the offensive side but on occasion he'll learn more in depth what the defense is doing to help him through the process."

Eberflus' defensive knowledge is also an asset to offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and the offensive staff as they build the plan of attack each week.

"He's fantastic," quarterbacks coach Andrew Janocko said during training camp. "Obviously, you don't get to a position like this without knowing a lot of football and knowing people. The one thing that's fantastic about 'Flus is that he connects with guys. He comes in and he loves to be with the guys. He's a football guy. He likes to be with the guys in the meeting.

"We might be joking around, and then, bang, there comes this tidbit out of nowhere that you're like, 'holy cow, I've never thought about it like that from an offensive perspective.' He can bring a, 'yeah, this what we're seeing in coverage. This is what we see from you. When you do this, this is what we're expecting.' He just brings things out of nowhere that you're not expecting that helps our knowledge base."
Eberflus is present in all meetings. Fields noted how the head coach has been beneficial in breaking down coverage responsibilities for certain players in certain defenses.

Anyone on Bears twitter who doesn't play for the team and talks about receipts should just sign off forever. Just makes the fanbase look like idiots.

I'm not complaining because I can watch tonight's game on broadcast tv. But it seems a little off that amazon prime keeps saying they are the exclusive carrier of TNF when they aren't.
