The Bears Running Game and Mitch Trubisky

[modo]

The Bears success is predicated on the running game.

I saw the stat when Montgomery is able to get at least 50 yards the Bears are 6-1.

It lead me to wonder what Trubisky's stats were when they could get their leading rusher at least 50 yards...

Trubisky with Montgomery running less than 50 yards

148/257 58% for 1388 yards 5TDs and 6INTs and 5.4 yards per attempt

Trubisky with Montgomery at least getting 50 yards

178/259 69% for 1733 yards 12TDs and 4INTs and 6.7 yards per attempt

Maybe there is something to getting the running game going.....

I'm curious and way to lazy to look it up - do last year with Howard.

I’ll look it up when I can

you can always ask @dabears70 to ask someone to google it for you

Sorry, but Nagy isn't into running, aka winning.
Paraphrasing, he said "they didn't bring me here to run the ball".
Don't hold your breath, Nagy won't change.

2018 Mitch without 50 yard rusher

107/170 63% 1214yards 6TDs 4 INTs 7.14 average

2018 with 50 yard rusher

181/264 69% 2009yards 18TDs 8 INTs 7.61 average


The biggest difference between last year and this year is the success in running the football.

The Bears had only 5 games where they did not have a 50 yard rusher in 2018 this year they had 9.

Nagy abandoned the run game way more often this year.

 

[modo]

The Bears had a 23% decline rushing yards from last year and about a 10% decline in passing yards.

Last year the RBs accounted for 1,415 for a 3.83 average

This year the RBs accounted for 1,127 yards for a 3.55 average

conclusion:



...............GET A FUCKING RUNNING GAME.........

This offense is asking Mitch to do everything.......

Boom....
Unfortunately, Nagy doesn't give a rip, Pace is too busy hiding from the press and the McCaskey's don't care as long as the cash register rings.
Such an obvious, easy fix and Nagy is just too ******* stubborn.

Looking at the other two QBs running support from Trubisky's draft class in 2019:

KC averaged 4.9 yards a carry

Tex averaged 4.8 yards a carry

Chi 3.9

Nagy says he knows he has to get the run game going, but i dont think he really knows..

he may have wanted to give it shot this past year.

I think he knows he has to get it going but I don’t think he knows how to with the current personnel. That’s more a Pace fault than anything IMO.

That's what I've been thinking. People keep insisting Nagy is too stubborn to run the ball. Perhaps he's so inexperienced, and relied on Childress so heavily to install the offense...that he couldn't begin to make big changes in play design on the fly during the season when he realized there was an issue.

I mean, his play calling is so disjointed it does come off like he's in over his head.

But he saw the Bears explode with a running game out of the I formation and traditional running assignments and then he just stopped doing it until the second half of the Minnesota game.

Its almost like hes Special person or something

First, they had a few select plays with the I formation. Not an entire offense built on it. So it would be impossible to "just keep doing it" as the offense. You install an offense in the off-season.
Second...did any of you see the creative ways they were using Holtz after that first I formation game? Little by little they were adding things.

But ppl who expected Nagy to just simply roll out the John Fox offense mid season just show their lack of football knowledge...

pretty cool of Nagy to show his football knowledge about running the ball twice a season.

They could have put more emphasis on a pro style running attack and kept using traditional play action passing.

They completely abandoned it for a few games after it was working.
