We’re still really, really early into Chicago Bears’ training camp, but today was the offense’s best day so far.
I asked Robert Zeglinski, who is at Bourbonnais covering camp, his take on the offense’s performance and he told me, “They were fine. Certainly much more smooth, but they didn’t light it up. That’s a good step up for this group though, they need to start somewhere.”
After being handled by the defense for most of camp, today’s small bit of sustained success is a good building block for the Matt Nagy offense.
I asked Robert for some more specifics and he shared that he “thought Trubisky forced less, and was generally more patient,” and that he “used his playmakers well.” He also said that the offensive line looked good today.
Robert also Tweeted out the four players that have impressed him the most so far and they are; rookie wide receiver Anthony Miller, starting left tackle Charles Leno Jr., new U tight end Trey Burton, and starting corner Prince Amukamara.
Read more about Leno’s developments and this group in Robert’s full notebook from Friday for The Rock River Times.
The Bears were without a few players again today. Rookie Roquan Smith is still holding out, and it was reported that Danny Trevathan, Aaron Lynch, Joel Iyiegbuniwe, Sherrick McManis, Kevin Toliver, and Hroniss Grasu were all held out due to injury. Kyle Long was reported to be having an off day.
Now on to a few Twitter highlights from practice...
Kyle Fuller gets a pick off a Benny Cunningham tip from Chase Daniel in team.

Trubisky has at least four to five seconds to find Gabriel for a nice completion.

Trying to figure out if it was good blocking or lack of an edge; or both.

Probably gonna inch towards the Bears’ OL being really good, then a lacking pass rush.
— Robert Żeglinski (@RobertZeglinski) July 27, 2018
Trubisky consistency getting lots of time to throw.

Trubisky consistently showing nice legs when keeping it himself on options. Good athleticism.

Charles Leno and Leonard Floyd is a fantastic battle to watch snap to snap. Getting physical and fast.

Another #Bears practice, another Anthony Miller highlight. He beat Kyle Fuller and Mitch Trubisky hit him in stride for a long TD.

Beautiful red zone TD catch by @AllenRobinson!#BearDown pic.twitter.com/ga7zSkDyBI

Booth reviewed, was ruled a catch
— Allen Robinson II (@AllenRobinson) July 27, 2018
I’d say Bennie Fowler probably has the leg up as the fifth Bears WR right now. More consistent catcher.

First scuffle of #Bears camp: LB Jonathan Anderson and OL Dejon Allen after a play in team drills. Short-lived but it's about time.
— Adam Jahns (@adamjahns) July 27, 2018
Impressive one on ones going on between Whitehair and Bulllard/RRH. Lots of contested battles and rushes.

BIG TIME THROW TO @TarikCohen!

And then he did a backflip after the video!#BearDown pic.twitter.com/DGmrCt1DPT

Another bomb to @AnthonyMiller_3!

This guy has balled out since day 1!#BearDown pic.twitter.com/8ThDynQOr2
Have been impressed with how Sam Acho’s come along in the last few days. Looking really stout.
— Robert Żeglinski (@RobertZeglinski) July 27, 2018
Daniel comes back with a nice ball for Cohen down the sideline.
— Robert Żeglinski (@RobertZeglinski) July 27, 2018
He is not just a RB.
“He gives you a lot of different looks, switches it up every play.” Floyd is getting used to switching sides by going against Charles Leno.
— Robert Żeglinski (@RobertZeglinski) July 27, 2018
Floyd says there’s no difference in switching sides at OLB for him. Same position, same responsibilities.
— Robert Żeglinski (@RobertZeglinski) July 27, 2018
“We still communicate with each other. We still talk,” Floyd is maintaining a dialogue and friend Roquan Smith. No pressure on him.
— Robert Żeglinski (@RobertZeglinski) July 27, 2018
Trubisky says his leadership role is “undefinable”. He still has a lot of room to grow and take the mantel.
— Robert Żeglinski (@RobertZeglinski) July 27, 2018
“I’m so happy with where he’s at. We’re in this thing together and we know he’s gonna do well,” Nagy praising Trubisky’s progression
