The Bears have pass protection issues. Justin Fields can help by getting the ball out quicker. That’s something Matt Eberflus believes the QB can improve on during the season.
"I think so," head coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday."I think you can make small incremental improvements as you go. With anybody, I think you can learn to read your keys and see what the coverages are faster. I think you can identify that pre-snap, post-snap a little bit faster. I think you can do that."
But Eberflus mentioned several times Tuesday, both when discussing Fields' time to throw and the Bears' six-week evaluation of the quarterback during the mini-bye week, that everything ties back to mechanics. Fields isn't without blame when it comes to the Bears' pressure numbers. Pressures and sacks are a quarterback stat as much as an offensive line stat. There have been several instances this season where a receiver came open as Fields reached the bottom of his drop, but he failed to pull the trigger.
