Nagy getting cute from the 3. Dude needs to be a man and run the ball because this cutesy garbage won't work against a real D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMD Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 David Montgomery was the #1 trending topic on Twitter for a while with some less than pleased fantasy owners (and Bears fans). It is dumbfounding how they used him but he's mopping up at the end to salvage his value. But DM should have easily gone 100+ total yards and scored in this laugher.

stethant Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 Honestly I don't see how Montgomery is startable next week in FFL after this game. They've got Patterson in the game in the first half and a ton of Cohen. Trubisky looks downfield almost exclusively and does not have the check-down instinct like an Alex Smith in this same style offense. There's not gonna be any garbage time to pad the stats against Minnesota. Back to the bench! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to avoid them all, Nagy will use them differently during each game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

awahl63 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 The Bears just don't have an offensive identity. Week 1 - Way too much passing and super gimmicky Week 2 - Way too vanilla Week 3 - Back to passing and the gimmicks This was the game where they were trying to build MItch's confidence but it looks like it'll be a bumpy road for the next several weeks until the offense and play calling clicks. I'm not panicking too much as D Mont has looked very good in his limited touches and has shown the ability to catch out of the backfield but the play calling and personnel is perplexing. Watching Cohen run up the gut is infuriating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Cohen run up the gut is infuriating. I think you hit the nail on the head exactly. The offense is too busy trying to be gimmicky and "smart" and diverse instead of focusing on just execution. Just focus on the best players and executing each play. It's like they think they cannot possibly match up with their opponent so they have to try to be cute. Just run Montgomery and throw to Robinson, Gabriel and Miller. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. In football and in life, the difference-maker is always execution. Ignoring Trubisky, there were SIX players that carried the ball. Other than Montgomery, the five combined for 11 carries for 29 yards (2.6 ypc) and then Montgomery had 13-67 (5.2 ypc). They turned to Montgomery on the final drive of the game and gave him seven carries for 48 yards. Until that final drive, he only had six carries in the game while the rest had 11. That is pure lunacy. What kills me is that when he was the offensive coordinator for KC, here is what he did with the backfield: 2017 - Kareem Hunt (rookie) - 272-1327-8 all other RBs 49-171 It's like Nagy wants the world to think that they win because of his inventiveness. The reality is that they win in spite of his harmful tinkering. You should have read Twitter during the game, It was on fire about Montgomery and the play calling.

He may have let Nagy have a turn now and then, and he did this some in 2017, but typically the offensive coordinator in KC has helped with the game plan, and he then relays the calls to the QB during games on the plays called by Reid. Nagy is definitely trying to use Reid's plays for the Bears though. You can see a lot of the same formations. But he clearly doesn't have the feel for the game or how to best use his personnel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is even hand gifting 3 TD games like this and Tampa last year, it doesn't prevent Mitch from reverting back to a pumpkin against average or higher defenses. It is what it is at this point, and I'll flat out say it. Mitch is a bust. But Nagy is still going to continue to try and do everything possible to highlight Mitch and exciting offense, and just don't see that including Montgomery this year.

Wayne Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) Whats sad is Montgomery runs so hard. And takes full advantage of his opportunities when called upon. With the Bears defense and Trubisky at QB i would be feeding Montgomery the rock. Edited September 26, 2019 by Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
