The Chicago Bears must also move on from Matt Nagy
When we look at the chemistry of this team, it makes me excited. The team has some great players and most look to be having fun out there. This is important. Outside of the Allen Robinson contract issues, the players have been sticking together and standing behind their coaches. The locker room has not been lost in the way Marc Trestman lost the locker room when he was here.
Unfortunately, that is not enough. Just like Ryan Pace, Matt Nagy seems like a good guy. I think he’s a good coach too, but maybe not in the sense of being a head coach in the NFL. At least not yet. Nagy has not been doing well when it comes to play calling. His offense does not allow the team to get into a rhythm. It is frustrating to see the constant changes in personnel packages that take playmakers off the field during inopportune times.
How often have we seen Jimmy Graham and Cole Kmet not in the lineup while in the red zone? How many times have we seen Cordarrelle Patterson put in the backfield on a third and one instead of using David Montgomery? Then the play calling on top of it with Patterson not going between the tackles but pitching it to him on the short side of the field. It is maddening.
I was hopeful that Bill Lazor would make an impact. He did in the first half, then he channeled his inner Matt Nagy. The Vikings started blitzing more often and Lazor did not adjust for it. Quick slants were non-existent when my eight-year-old son would have made the right call and read on Madden if put in the same situation. The same could be said for screens. Do these not exist in the Chicago Bears playbook at all? Something is broken and moving forward without Nagy is the next step.
