New Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy comes from a Packers team that saw two running backs get 223 and 221 touches a season ago, and the roots of the offensive scheme lends itself into riding the hot hand. The scheme has also seemed to be able to get quality production from several runners, so it’s going to be interesting to see how the playing time at the position plays out.
We’ve seen the Bears in recent years add backs each offseason and talk about splitting carries, but that never came to fruition. Whether it be Jordan Howard or David Montgomery, Matt Nagy’s offenses have always had a clear cut RB1.
