Rumors Are Matt Nagy Is Changing His Plans For Cordarrelle Patterson
By Erik Lambert - August 14th, 2020

Matt Nagy must’ve had a rough time watching the tape from his 2019 offense. Both for how limited it looked at times and how many missed opportunities it had. Perhaps one thing that stuck out the most was how he used the best playmakers he had. Tarik Cohen is one that stands out. However, it appears Cordarrelle Patterson might be the guy he regrets not utilizing more.

The Bears ground game was a shambles last season. Nagy had flirted with the idea of using the wide receiver in the backfield to mix things up. The results weren’t bad. Patterson carried the ball 17 times for 103 yards. A healthy 6.1 yards a pop. It seems the Bears coach reached a realization this offseason.

A big mistake he made last year was not giving Patterson the football more often. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network has it on good authority that is going to change

Patterson is an absolute beast with the ball in his hands. He might not be the best receiver, but he's one of the better play makers in the league. Definitely get him the ball more and watch him move the chains.

I am disappointed that the Bears have not used him more than they have. But then again we have an offense that is totally dysfunctional and a complete "fail" so maybe this is just one more head-scratching thing to add to the mountain of things that don't make sense on offense. I'm all for giving Nagy the benefit of the doubt for the clown show of last year... but it's time for him to show that he can build an NFL quality offense here.
