Dein erstes Forum » The Chicago Bears are piling up losses and quarterback

LAKE FOREST http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-allen-robinson-jersey , Ill. (AP) Mitchell Trubisky understands what that means. All eyes are on him. ”Everyone’s looking toward you,” Trubisky said. ”They’re all seeing how you react and I love that because I feel like I know how to handle these situations and I still have all the confidence in the world in my guys that we can turn this around next week and we can really go on a run.” The freefalling Bears (3-8) bring a four-game losing streak into Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. And Chicago’s rookie quarterback looks to bounce back from his worst outing against the team that could have drafted him with the No. 2 overall pick. The Bears instead made a bold move by trading up a spot with the 49ers to grab him. And the results so far have been mixed. In the seven starts since he took over for the struggling Mike Glennon, Trubisky has shown at times a strong arm and the ability to extend plays with his quickness. But against Philadelphia last week, it was simply rough going. Facing the team with the NFL’s best record, Trubisky looked like an overmatched rookie. He was 17 of 33 for 147 yards with two interceptions, two sacks and two fumbles. Poor footwork led to Trubisky overthrowing several receivers and posting a career-low 38.3 passer rating. Offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains wouldn’t pin it all on his quarterback, saying the receivers weren’t always where they needed to be. Adding to the Bears’ woes was the fact that they managed just 6 yards rushing – the second-lowest total in franchise history. Trubisky also found himself under pressure behind a shaky line even though the Eagles didn’t blitz much. But he reverted to some of his college habits when it came to his footwork. ”He got caught bouncing a little bit,” Loggains said. ”You know it was a tendency he had in college and we talked to him a lot about keeping his shoulders and head still. And he did get hoppy a little bit, and there were some throws that were errant because of that and something we’re going to keep working and grinding on that way.” Trubisky has been spending extra time working on his footwork and reviewing video. He seems level-headed and is maintaining a positive approach even though things aren’t going well at the moment for him or the team. He ranks last among regular quarterbacks with a 52.8percent completion rate and has been sacked 19 times. The Bears, meanwhile Womens Chase Daniel Jersey , have wiped out the good will they were starting to build. Back-to-back wins followed by a tight loss at New Orleans left them feeling pretty good heading into their bye. But the three games since then have been discouraging. ”(Teammates) know that I’m buying in even more, I’m working even harder and they know that I care about this team and my teammates and that we’re going to get this thing right and hopefully that kind of behavior is contagious,” Trubisky said. ”And I believe it is and just being around the locker room, being around those guys, talking to them one-on-one and just seeing how they feel. We’re still positive. We still have good confidence. And that just needs to carry over each day. Have good practices and go out there and try to get a win on Sunday.” NOTES: ILB Danny Trevathan (strained calf) returned to practice Wednesday on a limited basis. He was injured Oct. 29 at New Orleans, leaving the defense without the signal caller the past three games. ”I thought he looked good today,” Coach John Fox said. ”Anytime you have a starter out it can be problematic. But the rest of the players have to carry the load. It would be good to potentially have him back this week.” … Fox said the Bears’ decision to waive WR Tre McBride on Tuesday was about ”churning the roster.” He would not say if McBride was involved in a heated argument in the hallway on Monday that reporters overheard. … The Bears are bringing back LB Lamar Houston, claiming him off waivers from the Houston Texans. The 30-year-old Houston appeared in five games for the Texans. He played for Chicago from 2014-16 before being released on Sept. 6. — CANTON, Ohio (AP)Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher, two of the NFL’s greatest linebackers Bennie Fowler III Jersey , enter the Pro Football Hall of Fame this week. When their teams meet in Thursday night’s preseason opener, the game could very well honor them by being a defensive battle.On one hand, the Chicago Bears are installing a new offense under first-year coach Matt Nagy. On the other side, few if any of the Baltimore Ravens‘ starters at the offensive skill positions are likely to get much action.So if this winds up 10-9 or something similar, well, the smiles on the faces of Lewis and Urlacher might get a bit broader.Nagy has a second-year quarterback, Mitchell Trubisky, who will be taking his first major steps running the new scheme Nagy brought from Kansas City. He seems unconcerned that the second overall pick in the 2017 draft will be overmatched – even though Trubisky has been an interception machine in practices.”Our guys have picked up everything that we’ve asked them to do,” Nagy said. ”There have been mistakes, but they’re way ahead of the learning curve. So that’s exciting and it tells me that once we get to the regular season we can do more than I initially thought. But we will be growing throughout the season.”And the preseason.As for the Ravens http://www.thebearslockerroom.com/authentic-taylor-gabriel-jersey , don’t look for Joe Flacco in this one. The Hall of Fame game is an extra exhibition outing for the participants, and provides an opportunity for Baltimore coach John Harbaugh and his staff to look at first-round draft pick Lamar Jackson and veteran Robert Griffin III , who is attempting a comeback after not playing last year.”We have that set,” Harbaugh said of the QB plans for Thursday night. ”I never really talk about that. We just go do it. But we have the quarterback rotation set, and then we’ll organize the rest of it … There’ll be some guys who won’t play in that game, probably you might guess the guys who haven’t practiced as much that first week.”Some other things to watch in the Hall of Fame game:A FIFTH GAMEThe extra preseason contest usually gives low draftees, non-draftees and guys trying to catch on an additional chance to show their stuff. This isn’t much different from the final exhibition game, when starters generally sit and others get a last chance to make a roster.”When you have that extra game, the benefit is it gives you more reps for your players,” Nagy said. ”The negative is there’s health risks Womens Trey Burton Jersey , right? So people can get hurt. There’s a fine balance of both of those and being able to understand which way you want to go, and right now I feel like our plan as a coaching staff for who we want to play and don’t want to play, I feel really good about it.”O-LINE QUESTIONSBoth teams have to find answers regarding their blockers. Baltimore has one of the best in the league in right guard Marshal Yanda, but he’s coming off an injury-ravaged 2017 in which he made it into two games.”That’s why they call it training camp,” Ravens OL coach Joe D’Alessandris said. ”You have an idea of who are going to be your so-called projected players and starters, but that could change overnight. The same thing could happen during the season.”Considering how stationary Flacco can be, Baltimore needs to solve the offensive line issues quickly if he is its starter.Trubisky at least can move around, and there’s no question he will be the Bears’ first-stringer. Guard Kyle Long’s assortment of health issues doesn’t help in the quest to solidify the line.HOMECOMINGThis is sort of a homecoming for Trubisky. He played at North Carolina but is from this area (Mentor, Ohio).”I’m excited. The Hall of Fame game is a great opportunity for this team, and it’s a unique place to place Cody Parkey Jersey ,” he said. ”Just going back to the Hall of Fame, I’ll have some family coming to the game. It’ll be great to see some family, and it’s an exciting time for this team.”NATIONAL ANTHEMWith the NFL’s new policy on protocol during the national anthem in limbo as both the league and union discuss it, nothing really has changed from last season. Demonstrations by the players aimed toward awareness of social injustice could occur Thursday night.BETTING LINEWith legal betting on NFL games in some states, there actually is a line on this game: Baltimore by 2points. How the oddsmakers got there is anyone’s guess considering there are 90 players on each roster and many of them will get on the field.—AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg and freelance writer Gene Chamberlain contributed to this report.—
