We simply don't have one. Caleb is passing over 50 times/game now. No wonder the offense is averaging 13.33 points per game (not including D scores). Indy was the league's worst defense against the run when we played them. Dead last in the NFL. The Bears rushed for 2.3 yards per carry for a total of 63 yards.

Not any more. We were able to get them out of that slump.

Again, 100% coaching malpractice that we didn’t get a TD there. That cost us the game. It’s also not the first time Waldron’s asshat personnel groupings have asked a small backup slot receiver to block someone they had no business trying to block.
Take your “execution” excuses and shove them up your ass. Matt & Shane, that’s completely on YOU ALONE.

Does Flus even know, or understand, the personnel packages Waldron is running? If he didn’t, it’s gross negligence and if he did, he’s beyond hope. For being an offensive genius, Waldron needs to step up or be cut loose (and take the POS oline coach too).

He was asked specifically about the 3rd down play where Herbert got stuffed. On that play, Carter (185 lbs) was asked to block a 268 lb DE and obviously got wrecked blowing up the play. Carter was visibly pissed off after having been given an impossible and unreasonable assignment there.
Flus said he and Waldron were reviewing film early the next morning and saw that. When questioned he said something like: "we have to have a better call there" which is as close to a direct criticism of a subordinate you will ever hear in NFL coach-speak.
I was thinking the exact same thing you posted about above. Same story as last season--
Why are we still reinventing the wheel in week 3 of the regular season? How the hell are things so obviously WRONG not corrected long beforehand? Why the hell are you guys so unprepared every September?
Buck stops with Flus, even when the OC is being a moronic doofus. It's inexcusable for a head coach in year 3 to still be so clueless or negligent and even dumb fans like us can see that.
There's no slot receiver every born that is gonna be able to block a DLman who has 80 pounds on him.

Exactly. The personnel package on every play in the playbook should be reviewed from the HC-OC-and all the coaches involved on the offensive side of the ball to ensure that they are putting every player on the field in a position to ensure success. A play shouldn’t even hit the practice field until such a review is done.

I have a question about the coaching here. Poles brought in Lucas Patrick, and he was terrible here at center. For two seasons.
He was playing really well for the Saints at LG this season on weeks 1 and 2. They moved him to center due to injury week 3, and bam, he was playing like he did on the Bears.
My guess is that the Saints will move him back to LG, and use someone else at C until their starting guy gets healthy.
So, my question is, why did the Bears keep using him at center for so long even though we had game after game of him getting flipped over on his back like a turtle? Were the coaches playing him out of position out of stubbornness?

Maybe they made him change his stance. To the same as Rogers C was using.

It brings up two issues. First of all coaches need to discern an OL players best position and play him there. And also, it is frustrating to see offensive line players flip-flopped around and fail - or at least become worse players. I've heard NFL OL players talk about how flipping guys to other positions on the OL is a lot bigger deal than people realize. If coaches go into the regular season not knowing a player sucks at a position and shines at another - that's a problem.
