Apparently, Dowell Loggains doesn’t believe in working the ball to his best player. Loggains was quoted earlier in the week that the coverage the defense provides will determine where Brian Hoyer passes the football.

Well unfortunately, most NFL defensive coordinators know what they are doing and they try to take away the best option on offense. For the Bears, that’s clearly Jeffery. Loggains won’t have learned his lesson yet that sometimes you need to make an effort to work your best player the ball.

Jeffery will be targeted but it won’t be the highest on the team. After his frustration boiled over at the end of last week’s game against the Colts, this could be developing into a combustible situation if the Bears don’t start making an effort to get their star player the football.
