Luke Getsy is the Chicago Bears' 12th offensive coordinator in 25 years, and he's feeling the pressure to develop a quarterback — just as those who came before him did.
Bears quarterback Justin Fields walks the field against the Packers on Sunday at Soldier Field.From regime to regime and as staffs are shuffled at Halas Hall, the precise order for blame changes a little. Sometimes the process is expeditious. At other times it is tedious.
Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy talks with members of the Packers staff before the game Sunday at Soldier Field.Once the Packers built a large lead, they were able to sit in zone coverage and force Fields to work underneath. He throws a beautiful deep ball but didn’t find a 50-50 shot he liked. Struggles on first down made it tough sledding.
“He will continue to get better,” Getsy said. “I thought he played under control, composed and all that stuff. I thought there was a lot of really good things. The touchdown pass, he’s changing the protection to make sure we pick up the pressure and then makes a great throw. So there’s a lot of good things too.”Bears quarterback Justin Fields walks the field against the Packers on Sunday at Soldier Field.
“I’d hear a lot about it, but you really don’t focus on that. You focus on the guys in that building. That can be easier said than done, but you’ve got to do that. If you believe in what you’re doing and you have strong conviction in what you’re doing and how you’re doing it, then you can tune all that stuff out. I knew we were bad. We were awful and we were doing about all we could do.”“I remember going on the radio with Mike North,” Turner said of the former talk show host.
Former Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner and coach Lovie Smith walk off the Halas Hall practice field in Lake Forest in 2009. “It’s the same everywhere. The people want to win, they want to see points scored and they want to see an exciting offense. There is a little more pressure in Chicago mainly because of how passionate the fans are. That’s what made my nine years in Chicago great because of the passion the fans have for it. That’s a good thing but it can also make it brutal at times if you allow it. One game they’re cheering you, the next they’re cussing you out.
