Summary

Former NFL quarterback and sharp football analyst Sage Rosenfels joins JJ Stankevitz to explain why the Bears' offense has crashed and burned in 2019, starting with why Matt Nagy needs to run the "exact opposite offense" to make Mitch Trubisky successful (1:20) and how realistic it is for Nagy to significantly change his offense this far into the season (5:10). Then, JJ gets Sage's take on the Bears' offensive line (8:00) and if there were warning signs with this offense in 2018 (9:45). Finally, Sage explains what he would do with the Bears' quarterback situation in 2020 (12:30).

What it means to me to be a Chicago bear, it's an easy question. It means everything to me.

0:36.6

That means rich tradition, black and blue division, defense, legends, linebackers.
