The Facts: In the fourth week of the offseason program, Trubisky has gotten to know veteran newcomer Mike Davis since the team returned to work April 15, and from doing his homework on third-round draft pick David Montgomery, Trubisky expects an added dimension in the offense with those two joining Tarik Cohen in the running backs group. “We’ve got a three-headed monster that’s going to be able to make huge plays for this offense,” Trubisky said. “Very talented guys and pretty much handpicked by (general manager) Ryan Pace and Coach (Matt) Nagy. I 100 percent believe in those guys."
Diehards Line:
In Nagy’s and Trubisky’s first year together, the Bears ranked 27th in the NFL in yards per carry, 20th in yards per play and 21st in total offense. Those disappointments ended up outweighing encouraging pockets of production, such as red-zone efficiency (tied for sixth), third-down conversion rate (11th) and time of possession (third). Meanwhile, Trubisky acknowledged the collective expectation among offensive players that Year 2 in Nagy’s scheme will naturally be smoother, faster and better. That said, a stronger rushing attack will help keep the offense on schedule.
