The Chicago Bears are expecting two things to happen to their offense in the 2022 season. First, they’re banking on second year quarterback Justin Fields taking a step in play to lead this offense to respectability — but more on him tomorrow — and second, they’re counting on new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy’s scheme to pay immediate dividends.
The new offense has a track record of success throughout the NFL, but Getsy is still a first-time play caller implementing his playbook, so he has a ton to prove.
There’s been a lot said about the Bears not doing enough to bolster the offense around Fields, and with their only significant additions being center Lucas Patrick (13 starts a season ago) and wide receiver Byron Pringle (67 career receptions), that’s a fair criticism.
