One look at this Chicago Bears\u2019 offense and it quickly becomes clear what the strength of this offense will be: the running backs. That is if it has one at all. A slew of new faces, including some implementing new schemes, have contributed to some of the disjointedness that has been reported through the first seven training camp practices.<\/p>\n
The defense has looked fast and disruptive having taken to defensive coordinator Alan Williams\u2019 scheme rather quickly.<\/p>\n
But make no mistake when reports come out about the offense looking broken at this point. They are referring almost exclusively to the passing game. It is there that second-year quarterback Justin Fields<\/a> is getting acquainted with his new pass-catchers.<\/p>\n David Montgomery<\/a> and the rest of the running back room have looked good.<\/p>\n Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy and wide receiver Darnell Mooney have said this the Bears\u2019 offense is not designed to produce a ton of individual stats. That may very well be the case. But the Bears running back depth behind Montgomery is at the very least more proven than most of the wide receiver position behind Mooney.<\/p>\n We also heard from guard Michael Schofield that the system is very similar to the highly-acclaimed offense run by Gary Kubiak. Kubiak cut his teeth working under Mike Shanahan.<\/p>\n Both versions have featured strong rushing attacks at their heart.<\/p>\n Montgomery met with media after Wednesday\u2019s practice and I asked him to describe the diverse talent that the Bears running back room boasts as, arguably, the strength of a team that does not have very many.<\/p>\n \u201cWe got a damn good running back room. Khalil [Herbert]<\/a> being shifty, fast, got all the traits. Treston [Ebner]<\/a> being very fast. He can get up out of there. And he\u2019s shifty too. Darrynton [Evans]<\/a>, change-of-pace, can do a lot of everything, too. Very good in pass protection but also can make you miss\u2026[De’Montre Tuggle<\/a>], he\u2019s small, but got a lot of heart. And he can move too, very shifty as well.\u201d<\/p>\n .@MontgomerDavid<\/a> is meeting with the media@Hyundai<\/a> | #BearsCamp<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/TGiqK5XDA6<\/a><\/p>\n — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) August 3, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDavid Montgomery, Running Backs Set to Lead the Chicago Bears Offense<\/h2>\n
