Throughout his NFL career https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Brian-Urlacher-Jersey , Cordarrelle Patterson has shown flashes of his great talent, but he’s never developed into an every-down offensive threat. Bears coach Matt Nagy hopes to be the one to figure out how to make the most out of Patterson’s talents.So far this season Patterson has touched the ball four times, and he has flashed both the good and the bad: He broke off a 46-yard run against the Broncos on Sunday at a time when the Bears’ offense otherwise wasn’t getting anything going, but he also lost two yards on a crucial third-and-1 in the loss to the Packers. Nagy said he needs to be cognizant of what Patterson can and can’t do.“It’s a benefit — unless it’s third-and-1 and you’re trying to get a first down with him back there,” Nagy said, via the .Nagy said he’s been keeping an eye on Patterson since he was in college and has always liked what he can do.“Now what he’s morphed into as a player throughout his [NFL] career, it’s pretty unique,” Nagy said. “As a play-caller it allowed you to be flexible with what you can do. You saw [against the Broncos] we were able to get him on the edge. He’s a big dude that’s flying around there with a lot of speed.”Through two games, the Bears’ offense looks desperate for someone who can fly around with a lot of speed. Don’t be surprised if Patterson starts getting more touches. Just not on third-and-1. LAKE FOREST Leonard Floyd Color Rush Jersey , Ill. (AP)Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky can see a huge difference after only three days running new coach Matt Nagy’s offense.There’s more to it than just the system for Trubisky, as the Bears ended their first minicamp under Nagy on Thursday with a greater knowledge of an offense they hope eventually elevates them from the depths of the NFC North.”Just having a bunch of brilliant offensive minds around me, I’m just getting a lot of information,” Trubisky said. ”I’m trying to be a sponge, and it’s been a lot of fun working with those guys and learning as much as I can these last three days.”It all caused Trubisky to remark: ”I feel like these last three days, I’ve been coached more than I ever have.”The Bears finished 30th on offense and have been ranked in the bottom half of NFL offenses three of the past four seasons. Coach John Fox was fired after going 5-11 in his third season, with Trubisky starting the final 12 games of his rookie year.Now Trubisky learns from Nagy, who brought along a reputation for offensive innovation after serving as Kansas City offensive coordinator under coach Andy Reid.”They do a great job teaching it, and it’s not only me – all the other positions know the whys of the offense so everybody will be on the same page Eric Kush Jersey ,” Trubisky said. ”We’ll all have answers and we’ll be able to click as an offense because everybody knows our jobs and what we’re looking for.”With wide receiver Allen Robinson missing all of minicamp recovering from last year’s torn ACL, Trubisky threw extensively to wide receivers Kevin White, Bennie Fowler and Taylor Gabriel, and new tight end Trey Burton.Trubisky felt comfortable running an offense emphasizing run-pass options, largely because he ran something similar in college at North Carolina.”You’ve got the RPO game, the play-action, the quick dropback, getting the ball out quick, stuff I’ve done in my past from high school to North Carolina https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Roquan-Smith-Jersey ,” Trubisky said. ”And then you’ve got the West Coast, pro-style concepts grooved in with that.”So I feel like this offense is going to utilize my talents and use what comes natural to me.”Trubisky is as impressed with the new head coach personally as with his offense.”Just every day you can feel the excitement and the energy he brings and you can hear the passion in his voice and how he talks about things,” Trubisky said. ”I get a really genuine feel when I’m around him. He’s very authentic. He’s real.”Nagy was no less complimentary describing what he saw from his new quarterback. The two had built a bit of a relationship during the lead-up to the 2017 draft, when Kansas City weighed taking Trubisky.”I would say that the biggest thing is probably just his immense focus,” Nagy said. ”He’s very focused.”Nagy called focus important for Trubisky because rising expectations can lead to distractions.”So if you start worrying about expectations other than what your coaches want, you’re in trouble,” Nagy said. ”And so he’s just got to understand just come to practice every day, be a leader, lead these guys Eddie Goldman Color Rush Jersey , and sometimes that’s hard.”You come in last year as a rookie and you’re asked to lead guys that’s hard deal sometimes. Now it’s year 2, it’s time to make the next step.”NOTES: Outside linebacker Aaron Lynch suffered an ankle sprain on the second day of minicamp, but Nagy said it shouldn’t cost him much practice time. Lynch began camp lined up with starters because outside linebacker Leonard Floyd is still rehabbing after a knee injury last year. … Linebacker Danny Trevathan was at Halas Hall, but didn’t practice after missing the start of minicamp for personal reasons.—
