Play action bootleg with a hard play fake (OL run blocks) takes advantage of a mobile quarterback& #39;s legs to scheme a wide open TE Shaheen for easy yards. Great design, easy read for the QB.
Next play, fake pass to freeze the linebackers to free up space for Howard to pound the rock. Another great play design.
Same drive, pre-snap shift and motion combined with their most dynamic playmaker, Tarik Cohen, as a receiver over the middle. Great composure from Trubisky to make the right read and accurate throw under pressure. Looks to be his third read.
Penalties back them up into an unmanageable spot, but Trubisky still goes through multiple progressions despite and blitz and makes an accurate throw under pressure to set up a field goal. Great QB play here with Josh Bellamy as a featured receiver...
Later in the game - lines up like a passing play, play design recognizes the attention Tarik Cohen draws, pre-snap motions Tarik like a jet sweep to draw defenders into the backfield to create space for Howard. This is using all your players effectively.
Same drive, pre-snap motion tips the defense& #39;s hand to zone. Trubisky stands in the pocket against the blitz and delivers a fantastic deep ball to Inman after holding the safety with his eyes. Yes, he& #39;s wide open, but Trubisky& #39;s arm and poise makes this look easier than it is.
Look at how crisp Trubisky& #39;s footwork is, how he holds the safety with his eyes to keep Inman open. Compact throwing motion, steps up to deliver a strike despite pressure. Great mechanics, great QB play.
Pre-snap motion, pseudo-play action, crisp footwork, multiple reads, throws against pressure. Dime.
Compare that to Nagy& #39;s playcalling last week: no motion, fakes, or play action, just a straight dropback with isolated routes that don& #39;t complement eachother to create space. Even Cohen doesn& #39;t know where to go. Obvious pass means pressure. Trubisky has nothing.
Next drive, same thing. No fakes, no complementary routes to scheme guys open in space. Just isolated routes all over the field that are easily covered. Asking a QB you vowed to set up make full-field reads against heavy pressure in obvious passing plays to blanketed WRs. Abysmal
Look how much worse Trubisky& #39;s footwork, accuracy, and composure are in Nagy& #39;s offense. It& #39;s vastly more complicated with the promise of being worth the cost by scheming guys open. It& #39;s delivered on one of those this season. All the cost, none of the reward.
The theme? John Fox got a higher level of play with his supposedly dogshit playbook and inability to grasp a modern offense than the "offensive guru" Matt Nagy has. The offense& #39;s stats exploded in Nagy& #39;s first year, but Trubisky& #39;s play has severely declined.
