The idea was first floated to me by WCG’s resident snark, Kev H, back in the Mike Martz years. If you’re new to my Sackwatch series, it’s me breaking down every sack the Bears allow.
One possible reason he’s in a new offense on a very big stage and the moment may have gotten the best of him against the Green Bay Packers.Īnother possible reason he’s just not very aware of his surroundings.īy the end of the 2018 season we’ll know which it is. He’s still very early in his career, but his awareness on Sunday Night was a problem.
Pocket awareness is something that takes time to learn at the NFL level, and most young QBs struggle with it. After being one of the most sacked quarterbacks as a rookie with a sack percentage of 8.6, I expected Mitchell Trubisky to see that number decline in his second year as the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears.
