Following depressing Week 2 performance, hope remains for Chicago Bears in Week 3

Well, my Chicago Bears family and friends, the offense isn't off to the start we thought it would be. The Titans defensive interior front kicked that poop out of the Bear's interior blockers, and the Texan's edge defenders beat the heck out of the entire offensive line. We were correct on how Shane Waldron was going to use this offense this season. Waldron is still using the unique formations in the backfield and lots of empty sets.

Many people complain that Waldron is Luke Getsy 2.0. I disagree. In fact, he calls too many vertical passing concepts. It is nice that he trusts his quarterback to take deep shots, but the problem is, his quarterback doesn't have enough time to step into a throw, let alone process if a player is open. Ryan Poles attacked the offensive line heavily this offseason. The issue isn't that the offensive line is bad. They aren't using the correct pieces.

The Bears' offensive issues are a personnel issue.

Nate Davis needs to be benched. There is a rumor that he was going to be benched for Ryan Bates, but Bates was still getting healthy and then got hurt again. Bates could be the answer, but why does the NFL play so much in politics? Players that should be playing that aren't include the following: Khari Blasingame (injured), Khalil Herbert, Roschon Johnson, Matt Pryor, Doug Kramer, and Bill Murray. They played and practiced far more than Nate Davis. The running backs... Well, power football.

When the Bears brought Swift onto the team, I thought he would be the joker-back and long-yardage back. I assumed they would use him mostly as a pass catcher because that is where he thrives. I wasn't expecting a 1,000-yard runner. I basically thought of Swift as the Bear's version of Jahmyr Gibbs. Either Herbert or Johnson would rush for 800-900 yards, while Swift would hit 600-700 yards. (At this point, that might be his numbers).

And Swift would catch another 800 yards. That should have been the focus. The defense is playing well, and it is going unnoticed. Do you believe that CJ Stroud is him? Like him, as in the man? Do you believe that the Texans have a good offense? Caleb Williams turned the ball over twice, and the Texans still only managed 19 points. Stroud tossed one touchdown and was sacked three times. Akers had 4.6 YPC, but Joe Mixon only had 2.8. I know you are sick of having a defense and not an offense.

But tell you what, if one of the more pro-ready quarterbacks drafted by the Denver Broncos isn't looking great (none of the rookie starters are), then Caleb Williams won't like it right away, either. If Williams can get over the Texans game better than Justin Fields didn't get over the Browns game (you know what game I'm talking about), then we will have something.

The Indianapolis Colts are going to blitz—a lot. How will Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears' offense react? Not all rookies start great. It is how they finish. If by the time the Bears start playing divisional games, people fear Williams. That is when the Bears will be in business.
