Chicago Bears 2022 Roster Turnover: Another tight end makeover
When the Chicago Bears added tights ends during the last few years, they were doing so because the scheme demanded they have a quality move (U) tight end to serve as one of the adjustors in the old offense. The new scheme isn’t as reliant on that specific tight end position, but a quality in-line (Y) can thrive and be a difference maker in their new offense they plan to build around Justin Fields.
When run correctly, play action passes to the tight end is like stealing in this scheme, but he’ll need to be able to block in the outside zone.
