Bears Want Mitchell Trubisky to Study Body Language and We're Already Entering Jay Cutler Territory
By Michael Luciano
The sudden and sharp decline of Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky was jarring in how steep it has become. Matt Nagy and an offensive- minded staff are trying to squeeze every drop of talent out of him before they rule him unsalvageable.
Nagy has now turned into an amateur psychologist in an attempt to diagnose where Trubisky has gone wrong, claiming that poor body language might be at fault.
It's always the body language with these Chicago quarterbacks, isn't it?
Just a year removed from throwing 24 touchdowns against 12 picks, making a Pro Bowl, and leading the Bears to an NFC North crown, Trubisky has gone into the tank, throwing just five touchdowns and averaging 5.4 yards per attempt, the lowest in the league among starters.
Keeping a positive attitude and not getting discouraged is certainly part of being a good quarterback, but his attitude isn't making him miss open receivers or take sacks. Trubisky's body language isn't forcing Nagy to only call routes a few yards from the line of scrimmage.
Trubisky and Nagy both have some soul searching to do. While working on body language might provide a modicum of hope for Trubisky, Nagy needs to get more creative with his passing offense.
