getting some starting reps at the Z, but like Rosenthal said, Miller and Robinson will get the bulk of the wide receiver snaps. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Miller play more as the number three, with Ted Ginn Jr.

Patterson is primarily a special teamer, playing only 202 snaps last year despite all the injuries in Chicago. I’ll give Ted Ginn the slight edge over Javon Wims and Cordarrelle Patterson for snaps as the third receiver, but I doubt any of them will play “starter” snaps. Cohen’s usage needs to be tweaked as well, and I would like to see Cordarrelle Patterson line up at tailback more this season. The way Montgomery finished, as well as Nagy’s self scouting and offensive coaching changes, leads me to the conclusion that he’ll build off his 1,074 yards from scrimmage as a rookie and look like a better fit in the offense in 2020. Montgomery doesn’t create a lot of yards after contact, but he ran with more confidence, making defenders miss late in the season. I wouldn’t be shocked if Trubisky was able to keep his QB1 job, but in reading between all the lines from the comments from Matt Nagy and Ryan Pace these last few months, it seems like Foles will take the gig sooner than week one.ĭavid Montgomery and Tarik Cohen disappointed as a running back tandem last year. More importantly, Foles has played at a higher level than Trubisky has ever displayed. Foles knows coach Matt Nagy’s offense from their time together in Kansas City. OFFENSEĪ shortened offseason of practices shouldn’t hurt Nick Foles in his competition with Mitchell Trubisky. I’ll list out all of Rosenthal’s projections with his take in the block quotes followed by my thoughts on each position. The only mini-controversy comes at quarterback when he has the newcomer as the Bears’ starter, but with the way the league insiders and the Vegas odds have started to come around, this seems like the best bet. NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal, their Around the NFL Editor, is running through his projected starting lineups for all 32 teams, and I think he nailed most of his picks for the Chicago Bears.
