Here's J.J. Stankevitz's ratings of the Bears Week 2 win over the Seahawks at home.
QUARTERBACKS: C-
We're going to start with the bad for Mitch Trubisky: he toppled a Taylor Gabriel wide open on the first play of the Bears' second player, then did not cross his shot on a bottom line to the sideline at Allen Robinson, who was undertaken and easily captured by Shaquem Griffin. Trubisky's second interception seemed to have more to do with a good "blocking shot" execution by the Seahawks, who had a safety and linebacker to deflect a short pass that flipped into the arms of a Griffin. . But while the Bears were leading late in the first half, Trubisky had a very poorly done pass in the front corner of the end zone that should have been intercepted. In the first half, there were still cases where Trubisky apparently had "happy feet" and did not seem quite comfortable in the pocket.
But what is good for Trubisky is that he exploited the Bears first stint, which made 10 games for 96 yards and finished with a shove pass to Trey Burton for a touchdown. three yards. He did everything for him on a critical run of 11 games and 66 yards in the middle of the second period. The latter ended with an excellent throw from Anthony Miller as he rolled to his left for a touchdown.
Overall, Trubisky's last line of 25 goals on 34 attempts for 200 yards with two interceptions and two touchdowns and a score of 83 feels good. Trubisky showed more encouraging signs during the second week than during the first week, but this pass in favor of Robinson and the lucky-to-not-be-thrown in the first half reduce the score slightly .
RUNNING BACKS: C-
From a purely productive point of view, Jordan Howard, who has accumulated only 35 yards on 14 runs, was disappointing, even though the Seahawks were out of stock to stop the race. Howard had three catches on four targets for 33 yards, including an 18-yard catch on which he showed impressive concentration. Tarik Cohen made a nice catch on a broken Trubisky game, but had only eight yards in four races.
At one level, however, there was simply not much for these fugitives. And believe that Howard tried to get what he could – he spent an average of 2.56 seconds behind the line of scrimmage; in 2017, he averaged three seconds behind the line of scrimmage, according to Next Gen Stats from the NFL.
WIDE RECEPTORS: B
Both Gabriel and Robinson could make big gains if Trubisky had made good shots on those two missed opportunities in the first period. But while Robinson averaged 8.3 yards per shot, he scored six first tries and Gabriel played several times in the second period. Miller made an exceptional run to beat cornerback Akeem King for his first career touchdown.
TIGHT ENDS: C +
Trey Burton caught the four targets that came close, including the Shovel attack, while Dion Sims did a lot of good things as a blocker in the 66-yard touchdown run in the third and fourth quarter Bears. . Blocking the race as a whole could probably be better with this group, with Seattle selling to stop the race. Burton also earned a top spot in the red zone by reading the play option in the first half.
OFFENSIVE LINE: C +
According to Pro Football Focus, only two offensive linemen lobbied: Charles Leno (2) and Bobby Massie (1). The blocking pass was solid but the Bears needed more of their running game, which falls on this group and on Howard.
DEFENSIVE LINE: A
The goal of Jay Rodgers' unit was to contain Russell Wilson, and this group did it successfully. Wilson had only 17 yards on three rush attempts and was sacked six times, including tackle Eddie Goldman. Goldman, Akiem Hicks and Jonathan Bullard also scored points for a loss.
LINEBACKERS OUTSIDE: A
Khalil Mack again dominated, with a backpack for the second consecutive game by terrorizing the right-winger of the Seahawks, Germain Ifedi. Aaron Lynch also had a disruptive match, recording his first bag of the season and hurrying to fight for a loss. Leonard Floyd did not do much to pressure Wilson, but he managed his cover and managed a pass.
INSIDE LINEBACKERS: A
Danny Trevathan played one of his best games in the Bears uniform, getting a Wilson sack-ball streak at the end of the game and ending with a line of monsters: eight tackles, two sacks and two attack for a defeat and this forced fumble. Roquan Smith took a slow start, but after getting rid of his own rust, he finished with seven tackles and a breakout pass while, from a more qualitative point of view, he seemed to be a decisive factor for the defense of the Bears.
DEFENSIVE FILE: A
We will be interested to hear Vic Fangio how Kyle Fuller defended Wilson's 19-yard touchdown throw against Tyler Lockett in the back corner of the endzone – should Fuller have to concentrate on making a play in the air? , or was his attempt to dislodge the ball from the receiver's hands the correct technique? Anyway, it's now twice that Fuller has been beaten by great throws this year, which is not his fault, but on the other hand, he is paid to be able to defend these throws .
Prince Amukamara's six choices, however, cover the mistakes made by this unit earlier in the game. Also noteworthy: Eddie Jackson recorded his first bag in the NFL (he figured it was his first bag since he brought Dak Prescott back to Alabama), while Bryce Callahan and Sherrick McManis all two succeeded. Callahan also had a good day of coverage.
SPECIAL TEAMS: A
Cohen was trapped on a four-meter kick, but later grabbed a Michael Dickson punt seven meters and lost 32 yards on his return. Pat O'Donnell dropped a hold to one that almost resulted in security. Believe it well with Anthony Miller, who managed to recover a shot kick to seal the Bears victory.
COACHING: A
Nagy's experience on a crucial 11-win, 66-yard score, which began in the middle of the third quarter and ended early in the fourth, was excellent. He developed easy and short finishes for Trubisky and attacked the edges of a Seahawks defense that had obstructed the midfield for most of the match. The Bears were on time on this record and effectively gnawed 6:15 to reach the end zone.
Once again, the script Nagy and Mark Helfrich resulted in a first hit. And Nagy called two smart timeouts: one against a third and seventh on the 27-yard Seattle line with about four minutes left in the second quarter (which led to a first run) and another to regroup his squad. hands with Dickson. ready to attempt a rare kick on the court.
Fangio's defensive plan of using his defensive line to contain Wilson and putting pressure on guys like Callahan and McManis worked well. And it was clear, from a general point of view, that the Bears had no negative consequences for the Packers. It was rather a team motivated by the way they had lost this match.
