Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.What hasn't been reduced is his support or long-term expectations for quarterback Mitchell Trubisky.Nagy has Trubisky's back Eddie Jackson Jerseys 2019 , even as pressure mounts for more offensive production to assist linebacker Khalil Mack and a special defense. Trubisky comes into Sunday's game against Tampa Bay following one of his most inconsistent performances, but maintains full support from Nagy even if it means scaling back the offensive approach to account for inexperience."He's had my back and I love coach Nagy for that," Trubisky said. "He's just been very supportive."I believe in him and this process that we're going through, and we're going to have a breakthrough. Who knows when? But it's going to come, and I believe in that."Trubisky starts for the 16th time Sunday, the equivalent of one full NFL season. His passer rating is 77.8, just 0.3 better than during his first 12 games as a rookie under former coach John Fox.Several ill-advised decisions last Sunday led to suggestions earlier this week Trubisky could need the attack simplified until he understands it better. Nagy didn't dispute this."So whatever they decide to put on my plate I have to study, I have to do my job on the field, and if they feel like we have to pull back this week or next week or whatever it is, and just simplify so we can play faster, they're going to do what's best for this offense and what they believe," Trubisky said Wednesday.Nagy sees a Bears offense still trying to fit better and operate fluidly rather than more deep-seeded personnel problems, including Trubisky."He's where I thought he would be at White Tarik Cohen Jerseys ," Nagy said. "What I'm doing now is understanding what the plays are that he's doing well with, that might have been different with me in the past."Nagy brought in an offense similar to the one he coached as offensive coordinator with the Kansas City Chiefs.So far, the offense has reached the end zone four times in three games while experiencing trouble scoring from inside the red zone. They're 27th in red zone touchdown percentage (.400).Nagy took his share of the blame but said Trubisky isn't the only one learning."What's neat is that there are concepts that weren't as good to us in Kansas City that are good here, that are working," Nagy said. "I'm learning that, and now those are the ones I'm going to start to go to because I see that. And vice versa, there's some that we did well in Kansas City that might not be as efficient now."So I have to adjust to how I do that, and that's OK."Trubisky said he understands better through repetition, and believes production will improve as he runs more plays."Especially in a new offense, sometimes you have to think about it," Trubisky said. "But when you're playing in an offense for years over and over, you don't have to think about the (passer) drop, you don't have to think about where your guy is about to be."You're more just seeing the defense and where you're going with the ball. So those are some of the things I'm working through."Trubisky called any scoring problems an outgrowth of getting better acquainted with the attack. The suggestion the Bears need to scale back wasn't viewed by Trubisky as a slap at his abilities."If a teacher goes Tarik Cohen Jerseys 2019 , 'Do you guys want an easy test?' you're going to say heck yeah," Trubisky said. "Less you gotta study, I'm gonna ace this test. Maybe that's a comparison you make."(If) we're going to pull back this week, do I play faster, do we play better? I guess we're all going to see. I'm going to do whatever they ask me to do to the best of my ability."As the second pick in the 2017 draft, it's expected Trubisky will be a special player. So far, evidence has been spotty."I know this: I know he made a special throw to Trey Burton on the deep cross the other day that not many quarterbacks in this league can make," Nagy said. "And so I'll take that as special."Nagy argues even special players need to learn an offense with a good deal of volume."I know he's going to just continue to keep growing," Nagy said.NOTES: Starting cornerback Prince Amukamara and backup Marcus Cooper did not practice Wednesday due to hamstring injuries. Bryce Callahan or rookie Kevin Toliver would man the starting right cornerback spot if Amukamara and Cooper cannot play Sunday. . Wide receiver Anthony Miller (shoulder) did not practice, which could mean more playing time for 2015 first-round draft pick Kevin White. . Safety DeAndre Houston-Carson had full practice participation for the first time since suffering forearm and back injuries in preseason. ... The Bears added cornerback John Franklin III to their practice squad. Losing consecutive games for the first time exposed several flaws with the Chicago Bears.Although coach Matt Nagy sees no easy fix after a 38-31 loss to the New England Patriots, he believes solutions are within reach for problems with Mitchell Trubisky’s passing, a fading pass rush, and a feeble running attack.“Numbers don’t matter White Adam Shaheen Jerseys , we’ve got to get the wins, and we’ve lost two in a row now,” Nagy said Monday at Halas Hall. “I’ve also said that adversity strikes and you’ve got to be able to be prepared to have little peaks and valleys.“We’re in a valley right now. So we’ve got to get out of the valley.”The Bears (3-3) had 18 sacks in their first four games and led the league. They’ve had one for the past two games since linebacker Khalil Mack suffered an ankle injury.Nagy said every pass rusher has to find ways to pressure the quarterback, not just Mack.“We say it on the offensive line — you have to win your one-on-one battle,” Nagy said. “Defense? Same thing. You get home.“It doesn’t mean you always get a sack or you always tip the ball, but you’re affecting the quarterback and you’re breaking down that green grass and he sees color when he throws. And that’s what we need more of.”Nagy isn’t sure where Mack is health-wise in terms of percentage, but acknowledged Mack would have been rushing the passer more than he did Sunday if he were closer to 100 percent.In each of the past two games, Mack had one tackle, and Sunday the Bears put Mack in pass coverage much of the time. They’ll have to keep gauging his availability.“We all know that he’s not 100 percent, but where are you at?” Nagy said. “That’s where we trust him, he trusts us and then we go ahead with the action plan and that’s what we ended up doing. It’s not an easy decision or process.”Offensively, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky’s wildness problems surfaced again against New England.Even worse were Trubisky’s decisions to throw into coverage twice in the end zone. The Patriots dropped both easy interceptions, and he had two interceptions in the game.“He played a game better than most people think he played Sam Acho Jerseys Stitched ,” Nagy said. “There were some throws now that he missed in the later part of the game — see, early in the game, there are some throws that look like he missed them, but he missed them because the guy isn’t open and it’s more of a throwaway.”Trubisky went 26 for 50 for 333 yards with two touchdowns. At halftime, he was just 8 for 20 for 92 yards. Twice Trubisky should have been picked off, but the ball was dropped, and one of those came on a tackle-eligible play when Nagy said Trubisky should have known better than to pass.“You can’t do that, right?” Nagy said. “He knows that… That’s a critical error that you cannot do. There’s no excuses for it. He knows it.”The running game has been elusive to pin down for the Bears, who in the past counted this as a strong asset.Jordan Howard has 311 yards on 90 attempts. As a team, the Bears have 182 attempts for 784 yards, but Trubisky has accounted for 245 yards largely through scrambles.“The easy answer is that, again, learning this offense as a whole Adam Shaheen Jerseys 2019 , all of us together and kind of going through this deal, the run game, trying to figure out the identity of who we are, has taken a little bit longer than the pass game,” Nagy said.“And so what we’re going to do — that’s why we’re coaches — is figure out who we are, what we do best and we talk about it.”Howard is averaging 3.5 yards a carry and has had only one game with more than 15 carries. He averaged 17.1 carries a game his first two seasons.“It doesn’t mean that you change the pass-run ratio or anything like that, but when you do run, your yards per carry has to be better,” Nagy said.
