Matt Nagy realizes time is now for his B

Matt Nagy realizes time is now for his B

Optimism is abundant, hopes are high and all is relatively serene at this point in the NFL calendar.Despite the time of year, though, perhaps more so than any head coach in the NFL, Matt Nagy's seat is the hottest and it's not because of the sweltering July temperatures.Having burst upon the scene with the Bears in a splendid 2018 autumn in which he reeled in AP NFL Coach of the Year, Nagy's now seen the Bears sputter through the past two seasons and the offensive-minded coach has piloted a squad that's been dreadful in its touchdown-endeavoring exploits.With fans clamoring Devante Smith Pelly Men Jersey for rookie first-rounder to hit the field and Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace's jobs likely hanging in the balance of the 2021 campaign, Chicago's 17th head coach in franchise chronicle realizes the importance of the season ahead."I think what we've put together -- Ryan Pace has done such an amazing job of building the last three years -- this roster that we have, we have a lot of depth," Nagy said told Kenneth Davis on . "And so now to be able to have the time to put together, we feel like we're going to have a great opportunity offensively to to do what we need to do. The time is now, we know that, and we're looking forward to it. You can't live in the past. And that's not what we're going to do. I refuse to allow that to happen. This is a new season, and so we got a fresh start. So Devante Smith Pelly Kids Jersey let's see what we can do with it."Optimism di sipates into doubt rather quickly in Chicago and all of the NFL, for that matter. Nagy realizes getting himself back into the good graces of the Bears faithful (and Philipp Grubauer Men Jersey likely holding onto his job) will come in just one way and that's with getting victories, which have been lacking over the past two seasons of 16-16 regular-season football."You just, you gotta win. I think that's what we love about the fans in Chicago is they're extremely pa sionate. They care so much about their Chicago Bears," Nagy said. "They want to win. And that's why I'm here, and trust me, I embrace it. I wouldn't want it no other way."Ranked 26th in total offense in 2020, the Bears offense was a slog through lengthy parts of the campaign. Eventually, Nagy ceded the play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Bill Lazor. Lazor's back for 2021, but Nagy is back as the play-caller.Hence, if there wasn't enough pre sure riding on his fourth season as Bears head coach, Nagy Dennis Maruk Women Jersey is taking back some more."We ran into a road bump last year in the middle of the season where we lost six games in a row. And that was hard after starting 5-1. So, at that point in time, I started with myself. What can I do better? We were kind of stuck in neutral and I thought it was a good idea to hand the play-calling over to Bill Lazor," Nagy said. "I think he did a great job. But again, we look into the whys after every season and how we can get better. So, now we're just really excited to see our players grow. We think we did a great job in the draft and bringing in some young talent, in particular on the offensive side Nick Jensen Kids Jersey of the ball, as well. So we'll see. But we gotta do it. And it's only a couple of weeks around the corner."A new season and that aforementioned fresh start awaits, but with Nagy taking back the play-calling, it's notable that much of the Bears offense will remain the same. The biggest change of course is the exit of at quarterback. With seemingly entrenched at No. 3 on the QB depth chart, veteran and/or Fields will offer up a fresh face at quarterback. Elsewhere at the skill positions it looks rather familiar from and at receiver, at tight end, at running back, etc.
