Matt Nagy Will Play Starters In Preseason
5 years agoChicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy has revealed that he will play his starters during the 2020 preseason. The third-year coach had been adamant about not exposing his starters to exhibition action in his first two seasons as the coach, but he now admits that was a mistake last season. "As we talk, that's one of the things that I look back at from last year that I'm not happy about that I made a decision to do in the preseason," Nagy said on the Waddle & Silvy Show. "Number one, I think it's good for them to have it, but number two it sets the mentality. So that's not going to happen this year." The Bears have plenty to prove in 2020 after going 8-8 last season and will have a fierce quarterback competition on their hands between newly acquired passer Nick Foles and incumbent starter Mitchell Trubisky. In the first half of games last season, the Bears offense was, perhaps, the worst unit in football. Nagy is hoping the preseason repetitions will sharpen an offense with plenty to prove in 2020.
