Last season? That production through the air was meager. For myriad reasons, the passing attack was discombobulated and unreliable. Fields topped 175 passing yards in only four of his 15 starts. As a team, the Bears could have doubled their passing yardage total and still finished 54 yards short of the league-leading Kansas City Chiefs.
The Bears always will embrace those gifts and have every intention of using them to their advantage. But as magical as Fields has been and will continue to beas a runner, he is now crossing the bridge into a critical 2023 season in which his coaches have ordered him to understand the best ways to harness those talents.
Perhaps equally important, Fields is gaining a better feel for how to preserve valuable mental and emotional fuel throughout a game so he can remain fresh and focused for the critical stages of close games and, hopefully, for the stretch run of an 18-week season.Offensive coordinator Luke Getsy framed the matter well Wednesday, praising Fields for his running talents while establishing guidelines.
“There are times I can coach and say, ‘You should do this,’ but his instincts tell him to do something else and we have to trust that too,” Getsy said. “By no means will I ever make that guy robotic. I don’t believe in doing that with any player. But there is a way to refine it all and improve our decision-making and the trust in our timing and rhythm. We’ll take it from there.”
