Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted October 6, 2019 The Great David Montgomery decided to improve in his 2.5 ypc last week to 2.3 this week. Thanks for being such a great addition to the offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,031 Posted October 7, 2019 I can't believe they still only let him run that inside handoff from the shotgun. It was all but one of his runs. They lined him up as a full back and gave him a quick handoff when they were backed up on their own 1 yard line. Then they went right back to the inside handoff from shotgun. You can see the whole d-line shift to take it away in running situations. Way too predictable, and he never cuts it back either. He just runs straight into the scrum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shotgun handoffs are not for guys like Montgomery, who isn't the quickest back. He works better when he has some momentum already going to the line. Nagy knows he likes to run this style of run game, and yet they drafted Montgomery knowing he isn't the fastest player. It's Jordan Howard who can catch better, maybe. Howard is a better pure runner imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing that changes is the direction. This is an NFL offense? I watched 3 games and I can predict exactly what they're doing by personnel and formation, and I am by no means some NFL genius. No wonder he can't get going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stonewall 647 Posted October 7, 2019 Hang in there fellers. Yes, Nagy needs to get a little (lot) more creative, and that vaunted o-line needs to seriously gel and start getting some push..... but DMont is gonna get his sea-legs under him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 1,848 Posted October 7, 2019 I'm still a believer in his talents so I'm not giving up on him. I put most of the blame on the play calling and the worst OL I've seen the Bears have in years. I can't start Montgomery until I see the Bears make some changes or I'm forced to start him because of bye weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Bastard 154 Posted October 7, 2019 They are going to hate. Issue is play calls....the shotgun handoffs up the middle are so vanilla. Nagy is terrible. Made a name for himself ridding Andy Reid's offense at KC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted October 7, 2019 Give me Jordan Howard. They are not the same at all even though I compared them. Montgomery is not a smooth runner. He is so jittery and wastes a lot of movement. Howard is an extremely smooth runner, the only similarity is that they run about the same 40 time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Howard and Sanders have been running thru some monster sized alley ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoOnAtIk 75 Posted October 7, 2019 The fact that this kid has been afforded a possible bell cow opportunity and hasn’t taken the reigns yet is my ultimate concern with him. The comparisons to DJ early on are definitely not fair to DJ. It’s easy to throw Nagy under the bus as the scapegoat with his play-calling but I’m convinced if the kid was better, he would get more touches. It could also have something to do with pass protection and blitz pickups. Historically the cream of the crop will rise in these situations but maybe he’s just not that good. Instead of the next DJ maybe he’s the next Tatum Bell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did anyone realize Mike Davis is so out of the picture he was deactivated in week 4. This is a guy that avg 4.6 yards per carry and currently avging 2.44. He hasn't gotten a carry since week 3.

Thanks for being such a great addition to the offense. Walter Payton wouldn't be able to run behind this offensive line. Nagy has been less than stellar as a play caller this year, but this line is absolutely atrocious! They're getting blown up on every snap, and there is no where to run whatsoever! Kyle Long is done, Leno has taken a huge step back, and the switch to put Whitehair back to guard and Daniels at center has been a awful. Whitehair is playing well, but Daniels has been just terrible. He was a fantastic center in college, but they decided to put him at guard last year and he played very well. For some reason they switched them this season and it's been a disaster. Montgomery hasn't been great, but he has no chance with this line in front of him.

As Skinny and Frozen have cited...sounds like a product of the play calling/system? OL? other? That's too bad, I was eyeing Montgomery as a buy low a couple weeks back, now likely just stay away.
