It is my opinion that the coaching staff doesn't trust the oline to block well enough to open up the offense. Here is the logic for it.
1. IF the coaching staff didn't trust Fields, then he should have been traded before the draft.
2. The oline gave up 35 pressures in 44 drop backs, that is a 75% rate.
3. The Bears tried to fix the oline by improving 3 of the 5 positions: signing Davis, drafting Wright, and moving Whitehair to center. THose plans folded with the Jenkins injury.
4. They also traded for Moore, who is excellent at getting open fast.
