I spent a lot of time wondering the QB situation for the Bears. Foles has a slightly better arm, while Trubisky moves a lot better. The Foles experiment, however, seems to show that the QB is not necessarily the problem. Foles arguments with Nagy show me that the problems are deeper and may be a result of the offense's limitations...
The Foles controversy with the Griese interview seems to put most of the pieces together. The offensive line issues are so deep that there is no run game - slamming the ball between the tackles to try and keep defenses honest. Nobody is taking any sort of play action seriously. The d lines just pin their ears back and attack, not giving any pass routes deeper than 5 yards time to develop. the key play, then, has become the 3-4 yard crossing pattern or the 6 yard button hook becauser there is enough time to get those plays off. Anything longer and Foles is expecting to get hit...hence the comment to Griese...
It might be time to go back to Trubisky and do what the Rams were doing Monday - rolling out, bootlegging, run - pass options to minimize the awful line effort...
