Pace does need to add WRs in the off-season, but I do think Pace has found some guys (like Cohen and Sheehan), but Fox and co aren't using them or not properly. Also, after practicing all week, Wheaton didn't play a snap. This coaching staff is in love with Bleamy who has mostly shown to be useless as a WR.
And how many times are they going to choose to run straight up the gut on a 9 man box? They do it multiple times every game. The decision making by the coaching on play calls is awful.
Its easy to say that Fox and co arent calling the right plays or are not using players the right way but as I have said before these guys make a lot mistakes thats not on the coaching staff but the individual player . If Belichek took over this team I think you would be surprised at how many guys he would be trying to dump simply because they are not disciplined enough to do their jobs.
Wheaton practiced all week but how much work has he put in ? Inman basically moved into Halas Hall and hes been here two weeks but Wheaton has been here all season and was the bears largest investment in dollars at the wideout position has he done the same ? This seems to be an underlying problem with the Bears we have some talented players but still have too many players who get minutes because we dont have anyone else .Look at the secondary last season guys got snaps because there as nobody else and it struggled badly as soon as you increased the talent and those free snaps left look at how much the guys who were here last year improved particularly Amos and Fuller.
I really believe Fox and Pace would love to open up the offense more because they know if we could get the lead we could run and control the clock but also force teams into obvious situations on defense but they see these guys in practice everyday and if they cant get these guys to execute certain things in practice its gonna be hard to consistently open up the offense . We came out more aggressively Sunday than we had most of the season but look at some of the ridiculous penalties like those two false starts penalties back to back.
Lets remember that Pace is not living in some other country hes right here in Halas hall able to watch practice and he can see some of the holes that the team has and why Fox and Pace are not calling certain plays thats why he went out and got Inman .
One thing to keep in mind as well especially in regards to the wideouts is our receivers coach from when Pace first took over became the eagles receivers coach this year . That guys replacement who coached Meredith and Alshon last year is now the receivers coach for the saints and we have not seen the new coach paying any dividends and that turnover hurts when you toss in a bunch of receivers to start the year that all have to be coached up .
