[@georgefranklin2430]

What we need to stop doing is giving credit to Getsy for the running game. If the QB is the leading rusher because of scrambling, it's not the coach. QB got most of his yards from scrambling and not designed runs. Tell me I'm lying

[@kant5696]

You aint lying. Justin got those yards runnig for his life or gettin happy feet and leaving the pocket too early out of fear of getting sacked

[@Skyscraper330]

That being said Waldron had two really nice backs in Zach Charbonnett and Kenneth Walker…

Yes exactly he chose Chicago to work with our young team 🐻

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

@@baaad33kitty I think 🤔 his O fits here scheme wise too. Saints are turf, he's not really a Turf coach imo. He a tough grind type OC. Steelers or Bears he pry just looked at the QB situation. Plus Bears was the 1st 1 to call him... 😅🤷🏻

[@dgdaniels7934]

Sounds like they're hiring the last guy again.

[@knowledgeuntamed9177]

When you are OC for a Pete Carroll (Which I don't see him getting credit for being Belechick TE coach) But Carrol has a style that he's run 20-30years. So he has to blend what he wants to call w/what Carrol has run for years. Big Slow OL. We use speed/2nd level guys. His pass scheme is Elite and will fit very well in Chicago. 💯 But now we are gonna see him make his own O, from what he learned w/NE and Gronk to what he learned w/Carrol. It's not gonna be the same plays as Seattle.

[@baaad33kitty]

💯

[@Red87star]

What did Shane (or others) specifically help fix with Geno?? Nobody has said yet. Hoping to hear "timing, footwork, quick passing". I have heard they reduced his time to throw to get below 3secs, but how? Bears seem to NEVER run those easy 1st down quick slants that GB always kills with. 🤞🤞

[@samuelmartin117]

They ran slants a ton - just didn't throw them. Look at the slant numbers before Fields injury. Because fields only threw it 4x took it out the playbook when he came back. Why run a route he isn't comfortable throwing.

[@spencedelic]

Most of Geno’s resurgence is actually credited to the QB coach that year in Dave Canales, he’s also credited to helping Baker Mayfield gain confidence and lead the Bucs to the playoffs

[@annegrasser377]

I am getting a really sick feeling.

[@Mylefthook]

Of course .. bc Flus still here. Are you expected them to get it right after that. 🤷‍♂️

[@TheRealFlash23]

I just did a mock draft with only 2 trades that landed me Arizona's 2025 1st rounder plus 4th pick WR Marvin Harrison Jr., 9th pick WR Malik Nabers, 32nd pick OC Sedrick Van Pran, 35th pick S Tyler Nubin, and picks 64, 66, and 75. Imagine the passing game dominating with 3 #1 WRs and one of the best centers in the draft. And if it still don't work out, we have 2 1st round draft picks in 2025. 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@jeffweaver8388]

BRILLIANT

[@ricksavaiano5640]

Cole Kmet had 73 rec 719 yards which might have reached 800 yards were it not for missing 1 1/2 games.

[@renzoroberson7819]

Uh oh. I can imagine it now. The built in excuses for Justin this year if the keep him is in motion already. The theme will be, “the OC is not helping Justin and catering to his strengths again”, “this was a bad hire”, the OC is an idiot”, blah blah blah. It will be a never ending cycle until Justin consistently plays at a high level.

[@mec506]

Seems like Seattle fans are a little mad but that is just my assessment.

[@36090pburke]

We're a angry bunch but no people have had there problems with Shane Waldron

[@ragnarocking]

It sounds to me like Luke Getsy 2.0. But, whatever, it's a change.

[@Kevincarlloven]

Seattle had an injury riddled offensive line and bad Geno Smith at qb. Come on.

[@KamKing19]

He lightly mentioned the injuries and then just moved on.

[@Kevincarlloven]

@@KamKing19 truth is, if you don't have a good Oline or qb, I don't care who ur offensive coordinator is, offense isn't gonna be that good. If the bears get one more stud Dlineman, another stud WR, a center, and get qb right, I think they can win the north. Lions will regress when Ben Johnson leaves(they didn't start scoring till he took over the offense), vikings are a big ? right now, and the Packers are still a really young team that don't have any players that really scare me. Love is like Goff, get pressure on him and he's not good. Bears need to get at least one more stud on their Dline. If I was Poles, I'm signing Chase Young or Chris Jones or drafting a stud at 9.

[@samuelmartin117]

Geno Smith. Enough said. Geno Smith threw for almost double the yards of JF1. Geno Smith. 38:11 - if someone is a 'better OC' they interviewing for HC.

[@MichaelJohnson-qe3is]

That dude is horrible. Why weren't any of these flaws mentioned before? I'm done watching

[@LockedOnSeahawks]

I mean... People who listen to our podcast have heard about these issues all year long. None of this is news. It wouldn't have mattered which team hired him, I would have had same opinion on him after covering him for three years. I wish him success there, but he will have to show a lot of growth from his time here.

[@ricksavaiano5640]

As a team Seattle still threw for almost 4200 yards and 23 TD's with Drew Lock playing in 4 games

[@samuelmartin117]

No one from a 9-8 team is gonna be hyped about their OC. A lot more focus on where players failed on a play call that should have worked, where can they improve on run blocking, what could they be with our personal. All way more beneficial. The idea of coaching trees have to come from the 1 team doesnt always work. You can be a great teacher on an average team. i can guarantee 31 teams lose next year, but that doesnt mean 31 bad coaches out there.

[@onlylooney1]

Id rather be top 10 in passing than leading league in rushing like 3 win season

[@alterego7287]

Oh man this interview is not the therapy we Bears fans needed!!! The only thing I can hope is that this is coming from a Seattle fan that is criticizing his team harsher because they didnt live up to the previous year. In house analysis always rips their own team harder when they dont reach the expectations the fans set. Regardless we hired him so here we go!! 🐻⬇

[@cksamo]

Check out Swift Sports Network channel's all-22 breakdown of Waldron. This guy here doesn't make much sense. Bad O-line but Waldron should have run more AND schemed more for Metcalfe. I've heard a few of these guys now from Seattle, and they don't sound very intelligent or credible.

[@alterego7287]

@@cksamo Swifty always puts a positive spin on every Bears move. I always go to him for pick me up 🤙

[@MadSUPANOVA]

I wish Caleb is truly cocky sure of himself confident in his play making creative skill set- dragging his balls on the ground if Bears draft him. Not kidding. I hear Lamar talk, dude has no doubt in himself . Aaron Rodgers no doubt in self. Brady, quite disciplined assassin- execute the play coach called- when he doesn't- he's pissed he couldn't fullfill the coaches play. Bears need that QB1

[@davidmoton8553]

Poles should trade the #1 pick and focus on the O-Line: Quarterbacks need good blocking and excellent Receivers to impact the game🤯

[@ddm62571]

WR is needed more than Oline. If one of the top three are available they will be drafting one them!

[@Twigg4075]

I feel like Bears Now by Chat Sports is the only channel that is truly happy witn the Waldron higher. Everyone else seems to think he will not be a fit for Fields and this team.

[@mohamedkhalif7084]

As a Seahawks fan, if the Bears get the 2022 Shane Waldron and Caleb Williams, you will be a Superbowl favorite. If you get the 2023 Shane Waldron, you will be screwed. There are two hypotheses: either the guy struggled due to offensive line issues, or he couldn't adjust and adapt to defenses after a season of film on his playcalling.

[@Twigg4075]

@@mohamedkhalif7084 It's most likely the latter.

[@TahitianTreatt]

Every Seattle fan is salty he is leaving. Not once all season did you hear anyone ragging on the guy and now the 12 man wants to step up talking like it’s a blessing he’s leaving. Bias opinion at best.

[@johnniefranchize2701]

Correct I was going to say it!!! You can't say he didn't adjust well and then say he had 9 different starting OL combinations and 6 4th quarter comeback's sounds like hate to me...

[@inorite4553]

Or maybe he just sucks. I have zero faith Waldron is going to fix anything because this is the Bears we're talking about. Bet on them to lose and you'll walk away richer more often than not.

[@Dribble51]

I bet if OC was black, it would be nothing but rave reviews 😮

[@user-sj2hi5fn4m]

They are clearly sticking with Justin, as they should. Draft MHJr ... a LT ... A Center ... and another guard. Offense fixed. Caleb Williams has never taken a snap from under Center. Immaturity issues. Fumbling issues. Messes up in big games. This guy is a sure thing? Uh uh. Problem is, WAS and NE might sit pretty meaning any trade takes MArvin Harrison Jr is off the table.

[@MCfact1827]

11:07Quick note: no QB "throws over the line". Ya look for passing lanes.

[@bradyc5581]

I mean Waldron did have Geno smith

[@MadSUPANOVA]

For clarification. Personally I am not asking for a pocket passer. I love fast running QB's like Lamar. Fields has speed, but he's not Lamar. Lamar can get the ball out in the pocket quickly. 3 seasons and Fields still has issues seeing the spread' Sure I watched the tall' NC QB Dray Mayo' :) but he stayed in the pocket, git the ball out, but I saw what happened to him in the pocket, he's so tall he got rolled up on his shins and ankles multiple times, he couldn't escape. Caleb is shorter stockier legs, and he seemed to get away out pocket without defense rolling into his lower legs. That is my observation. But I see Caleb is just more creative... sure the Shock of the NFL speed Caleb will need the first season to win or lose...but he has to feel that NFL speed to adjust. P. Manning said when he got in the league NO ONE WAS OPEN- THAT IS HOW MUCH FASTER THE NFL dudes are to college.

[@primafacie9721]

Fields has the bad double whammy of being slow, maybe very slow, at reading the field and he has a slow release. Also, I'm guessing a bit here in that he is poor at seeing what the field will be in one second if a receiver will be open or going into double coverage. I'd love to see Fields be the QB, but his QB stats are low mid tier and lowest tier.

[@MykeyGHarris]

[@MadSUPANOVA]

With Fields. I'm like this is the fastest QB the Bears ever had. And your telling me the Bears offense still has trouble just getting 1st downs??? Keeping the opposing defense on the field and wearing them down with Bears RB's and Fields run plays. Nope. 3 seasons of Fields running for lis life - instead of first downs - he goes for more yards, then fumbles- trying to do too much. Or he shot gun- 6 bounce step backwards- holds ball too long- launch down field. Pray WR catches bomb. OR THE SILLY PREDICTABLE- RB on left, hike, pass to RB on left- NO yards. Jammed. Same play 9x in a game. I couldn't believe that Packers game. Fail. Fields strength is speed, and still no slick offensive block scheme slant' plays to just run and get first downs. (Yes like 49ers McCaffrey killer slant' burst through line runs) With that kind of speed- Bears are not supposed to be kicking away on 3rd downs. Frustrating.

Getsy had no ability to call plays and adapt, NFL players are on film saying they knew exactly what was coming 99% of the time. It was also proven by many ex players and others that do All 22 breakdowns of the plays he was calling and they made no sense on many levels.

@@klohr311 can’t be much worse and he did kind of revive Geno a bit. Getting 4k yards out of a guy considered a bust and career back up. I am used to this though, Chicago has been offensively challenged as long as I can remember, and was a sophomore in high school when we won the Super Bowl. I no longer really have expectations for our offense until we prove otherwise..I think ownership is the biggest problem with inconsistency and roller coaster Coaching and front office changes..
