There is no run blocking so there is no run game. This is what happens when you KNOW you can't run the ball. There isn't an OL that can run-block, and Swift is sure not the answer at RB. Do you think the Bears want to be pass happy with a rookie QB1? Hell no. But when you can't run, well, what the heck DO you do? You are screwed. Ryan Poles needs to put an NFL quality offensive line out there in 2025 and, yes, we need a RB who can get it done behind that OL. This isn't rocket science. The OL is a clown show out there. Hard to watch an OL that bad on gamedays. Dudes suck.
+1
And one positive note, is that this team is fixable if they do follow through and invest top level resources into the OL (both draft and FA money). In fact, it's not that tough to build an OL. You just gotta invest and enjoy the R.O.I. on that investment for the next 10+ seasons. I have to believe Ryan Poles is smart enough to understand that 2025 needs to (finally) be the "year of the lineman" and (finally) built a high-quality offensive line. If he eventually get fired in Chicago, I believe it will be largely due to his OL failure - that will result in a Caleb Williams failure.
