If anything, the Bears might be averse to turning quarterback Mitch Trubisky loose as a runner as he plays through pain in his non-throwing shoulder. But Saints coach Sean Payton isn’t falling for that.
Among an outpour of compliments for Trubisky, he highlighted his mobility as a major concern for the Saints’ defense.
“You see someone that’s a confident decision maker and someone that I think is really athletic with his feet,” Payton said. “He can move. He can beat you with extended plays, but he can also keep the ball and gain 12 yards.”
That’s an interesting point to raise because running hasn’t been part of Trubisky’s game this year.
