Fans of another Midwestern team will recognize much of what the 2018 Bears? offense looks like. Matt Nagy said, via Dan Pompei ..the Bears? offense will be 70-80 percent the same as what the Chiefs run under Andy Reid.
?It will be different in some regards, which is only fair to our coaches on offense and the ideas they have,? Nagy said. ?But the identity is going to be the same. It will feel very similar to Kansas City?s. We?re in the lab now. That?s the fun part. All the coaches are giving their ideas and thoughts. Coach [Reid] always said he had 51 percent of the say. So ultimately, he had final say. Now I have that. There are plays I liked that Coach [Reid] didn?t like, so now those plays are in.?
Reid and Nagy each had roles as the Chiefs? primary play-caller during the pair?s two years working in an HC-OC relationship, with Nagy?s shift toward play-calling responsibilities coinciding with Kansas City?s late-season charge toward a second straight AFC West title. He?ll attempt to replicate that with the Bears.
