On Tuesday, QB Mitch Trubisky spoke to the media prior to practice and was asked about being conservative and if taking care of the football take precedent over being aggressive in taking shots downfield. Trubisky responded that it’s important to have an aggressive mindset as a quarterback, but also not try to press too much to make a mistake that could hurt the team.
“There’s a fine line between protecting the football and you wanting to be aggressive,” Trubisky said to the media Tuesday on video from the team’s website. “So, you want to be aggressive as a quarterback, but when you have a great defense, you also want to protect the football, because they’re always going to keep us in games.
