Mitch Trubisky is unlikely to play in the Bears’ final two preseason games, but coach Matt Nagy knows what he wants to see from his quarterback in practice.
“Just the anticipation now,” Nagy said Tuesday. “That’s probably the biggest key word for him as we go is trying to predict when the ball’s coming out.”
Nagy stands behind the quarterbacks in practice; no one else is allowed between the hash marks on the field.
“I want his vision within the plays now really going exactly where my eyes are going,” Nagy said. “When I’m standing back there behind him, when I’m looking to the right, he’s looking to the right. If I’m looking to the left, he’s looking to the left.”
It’s not enough for Trubisky to make the right throw. It was to be for the right reasons.
“His answers to me when he throws the ball somewhere, ‘Why did you do that?’” Nagy said. “And if his answer’s good. Those are the things I’m looking for. And I think we’re right there, but we won’t know that until we get into the season.”
