Bears offensive coordinator Bill Lazor acknowledged the „shared“ responsibility for the meltdown vs. the Browns — the scheme, the offensive line, the quarterback and the coaching staff’s failure to respond to the onslaught. „Let’s learn from it and not have it happen again.“
For years, Bears coaches have tortured their fans with one offensive implosion after another, then turned the knife by doubling down on the plan that failed. “I’d do the same thing again, just with better results,” or some form of that lament. Like a breath of fresh air, Bears offensive coordinator Bill Lazor thankfully did not go there Thursday — instead expressing regret over the game plan that ended with rookie quarterback Justin Fields getting sacked nine times in a 26-6 loss to the Browns last week. “When you have those type of protection issues, if I could go back a week… I’d have a different protection plan,” Lazor said. “We had some things in there — some of it just didn’t work the way we thought it would. We thought it was a good answer, but it just didn’t work. “Some of it — obviously the mechanisms to help the protection, whether it be to throw the ball faster, to move the pocket more, to help on the edges, to turn the line and help with more guys, to use tight ends more in protection — they’re all in the offense.
