In looking back at last years Sackwatch for the current numbers, I realized just how poorly things are going this year for the Chicago Bears, or more importantly, quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. Through 9 games a year ago, Trubisky was one of the least sacked QBs in the NFL, and while Chicago’s pass protection has taken a step back, Trubisky’s pocket awareness has regressed as well.
It’s not like he’s feeling pressure that isn’t there — if that was the case that would be easily put on the leaky pass pro — but what he’s doing at times is just holding on to the ball too long.
