What could the Bears running game look like in 2022?
There’s been a lot of discussion about the Chicago Bears moving to a Shanahan-like offensive philosophy in 2022 under first year offensive coordinator Luke Getsy, and that should sync up well with quarterback Justin Fields and the players around him.
Head coach Matt Eberflus picked Getsy, in part, because this was the style of offense that gave him fits to defend during his time as a defensive coordinator in the NFL. It’s a system that has had a lot of success since Mike Shanahan developed it back in the 80s around a zone blocking scheme, and has since been popularized by Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, and Matt LaFleur, to name a few, that all utilize a variation of it.
